Hey all, I recently built a bar for a client and am looking for an online source for inexpensive 2" foot railing and brackets. Brushed nickel to be specific. The best I've seen so far would run around $180 for an 8' section. There's gotta be a better source out there. Thanks for any...

Brewed this one today. Looking forward to comparing it to the original. Thanks for the recipe. :mug:

Had to bump this! Tried it for the first time last night. Any ideas on the recipe?

Thanks for the replies! What I was 'blindly' shooting towards with this recipe was a Sierra Nevada Pale type ale. I know the recipe isn't right on, but I'm hoping for a full-bodied, hoppy, higher-abv pale ale. Hopefully with a little teperture control, I'll be able to get it to ferment down...

First of all, I can't tell you all how informative this forum has been in my brewing. Thanks for all of your input! :mug: I brewed this today to clear the fridge of leftover hops and use up some yeast! Based on the recipe, in your opinion, what style did I brew and how do you think it will...

I have 2 oz. of Glacier Pellets 5.6% Alpha and 1 oz. of Warrior Pellets 16.7% Alpha. What type of ale would they be best in? Thanks!

I heard an android version of ibrewmaster is going to be available sometime in February.

Thanks in advance!

Had a stuck sparge yesterday and ended up having to transfer most of the grain and wort to a sanitized bucket while I switched manifolds. The process meant that I mashed for about 20 minutes extra. I ended up putting the slurry back into the lauter tun and sparging as normal. I can imagine I...

I brewed an 1.075 o.g. IIPA a couple months ago that went through a 3.5 week primary fermentation then a 3 week dryhop in secondary. I ended up with a final gravity of 1.029, only 8 points higher than what the recipe called for. After 2 weeks of conditioning, the beer is far too sweet for an...

Don't add hops until you boil-down to your target preboil volume

Yep, keep on boiling...:rockin:

I guess my question is how can 2.2 gallons of water be enough to rinse that amount of grain? I plan to batch sparge, draining the mash tun, then adding sparge water (all 2.2 gallons!). Will this 1 sparge step be enough to get me a decent efficiency? Thanks!

I'll be brewing an Imperial Stout tommorow and was putting my schedule together. After entering my amounts into the brew365 calculator, its only calling for 2.2 gallons of sparge water for a 20.4 lb. grain bill. This seems extremely low to me. Any thoughts? Batch size (gal.) 5.5 Grain...

Has anyone brewed an American Wheat using Wyeast 1056? If so how did it come out? And- I hope to reuse the wheat yeast on my next batch. Could this yeast be reused for any type of american ale. I know that 1056 is a rather versitile yeast when it comes to ale type, but would the fact that it...

Gotcha!! Thanks!!

So the carbonation thing is somewhat solved, now on to the head issue. Why would these beers be pouring with little to no head?

COLO you may have something there... I always put the newly primed bottles back down in the cold basement after a bottling session. In other words, the beer is at too low a tempereature for the yeast to reactivate?

The last few brews I've done (extract recipes) resulted in low head volumes as well as low carbonation in the finished beer. My primary temps are normal for the yeast strain, but after I racked to secondary, I put them in the cold basement for conditioning (~55-60*) for a few weeks. My...
