I have been able to pull off full (5 gal) boils doing B.I.A.B. using just half extract but to get a good rolling boil I've done best splitting between a large and small burner that are front to back (instead of side by side). Heavy Duty Aluminum foil is your friend, I go under the burners and...

Managerial Accounting for Managers selling text books to buy cornys! :ban: :tank:

I had a keg recently that i swore I'd never get the liquid post off, after looking at it a little closer the rubber was part way up the bolt. I tried everything and almost bought a socket set. I trimmed the rubber with a razor and after riding the keg and tapping my auto wrench with a hammer...

I went with a Ranco ETC-111000 after reading around, you can usually get them for ~$60 shipped, then what ever value you place on an old extension cord you'll need to cut to hook it up. Just google (or HBT Search), ranco wiring and there are a few good pictorials (to give to your...

The real answer is maybe. I am assuming this is a (Freezer) cold plate with a door in front of it like mine is. I doubted the ability to make it work for years before going through with it, it fits 1 Corny and Gas so its still beats bottling. If so you can defrost the fridge, and by that I...

Just tapped my second go this morning. I usually only sample when racking so sorry it took so long to update. Raspberry is a little stronger than the first and not as malty but not super sweet by any means. This is the second time that I've had success using frozen berries (not in syrup) in...

Given that you mentioned the frequent shopper card I know which your talking about. I've never had issue with them but have read similar reviews else where. But 10% back on every 200 spent is hard to pass up so I tend to favor them over the closer store. I haven't really looked into the price...

glass of ice water should read 32, I would trust it more than boiling

If you get a good answer let me know too! My blow-off tube its pretty much for show and I've gone back to just pitching and putting the airlock on. and recently for beers above ~1.060 I've double pitched Whyeast packs. I think the carboy size matters alot more when it comes to blow off, i use...

Ha ha, isn't the title here "Dry Hoping Questions" Honestly I just loosely followed the recipe in the Joy of HB3, in some versions he forgets to say where one of the hops addition is, i asked my LHBS and he recommend adding the left over tettnangers at that point just to use them, as i...

but where did you dry hop? I have Kolsch Conditioning right now. I can't answer everything here but I can say that yes you can sill bottle carb after cold crashing, there will still be yeast suspended in beer but smaller particles fall out (atleast thats how I understand it) For mine I kept...

I played through this debate and read tons of fruit addition posts when trying to make a frambozen esq beer, I opted to use European Ale Yeast to Help the Malt stand up against the Fruit. The first time I steeped grains and made a 5 gallon batch of brown ale, pitched and let it go for 4-5 days...

Defiantly started out with kits, but it didn't take long until yeast were being changed and then hops are being added. After that I found the free recipe maker Brewmate and that got me interested in ingredients. So I looked at some recipes for a style I was considering and got grain ideas from...

Cheers to you and a +1 for the solo b-day brew

Glad to hear you got it taken care of but its pretty lame it cost that much, one would think that would fall under a "statute of limitations". I'm gonna keep the myth of "cup charging" alive though for the sake of younger generations.

The correct answer was "a cup" .... the beer is free... but cups are $5

sounds like your good to go, let us know if it makes a noticeable difference

This really depends on your exact fridge model and if there is a cooling plate there. Are there separate thermostats for fridge and freezer? If so cutting a hole will make the freezer half continue to run until it reaches its temperature in the whole unit, potentially freezing a keg. This can...

So this was initially brewed as a birthday gift for SWMBO, who isn't into beer but occasionally finds some that she likes beyond PBR and beer pong, one of those happens to be New Belgium Framboozen. I looked for some recipes online, based on what I found I mashed the info into this partial...
