Friends, The stimulus ($1,200) is not intended to be income replacement or to "directly" help those in need. It is meant to "stimulate" the economy. Unemployment Benefits +$600 is intended to help those who have lost their jobs or are otherwise in financial despair. If you choose to donate...

Started brewing in 2008, shifted to all-grain in 2015, switched back to mostly extract in 2018. So I’m back to brewing extract for efficiency and quantity. With the equipment I have, Igloo mash tun and hot liquor tank, 8 gallon kettle, + several 4 gallon kettles, etc, I felt limited to a 5...

Chrisvaf, did you ever figure out what it was? Did it harm your flavor or finished product at all? I just transferred Grapefruit IPA to keg, had in primary for about 30 days. I also had the pink, but it was on top of a tan krausen (almost like it was a secondary Krausen). was worried it was...

Not a bad idea either to google your location for a Home Brew club. Many meet once a month at a local brew pub or home brew supply shop. Meetings are a social event with folks occasionally bringing home brew to share, share recipes, and discuss brewing techniques. The folks who regularly...

Greetings Shipmate, Usually folks on this site reach out right away to new brewers. Helps us all in keeping the hobby popular and propagating the craft. Anyway, saw you had numerous views and no responses so I'll take a stab... hope it helps. I almost exclusively keg now (same with a ton of...

Awesome... would love to try the Millennium Falconer's Flight IPA - Northwest IPA - Extract Recipe Kit.

Coincidence...just transferred my NB kit Dry Irish Stout to keg. Brewed 29 January using 24 hour yeast starter, hand agitated whenever I walked by. Fermented in basement at ambient temp of 66 degrees. OG: 1.046, not quite as high as Plisskin, but higher than stated 1.042. FG came out at...

I used Redhook stubbies exclusively for the last 3 batches. Not a single problem with capping. Overnight soak in oxyclean and the labels fall off right in the water (pretty much the same with any bottle). I've been warned that the short neck is not a conducive to a controlled pour to keep...

Very cool, well done....just curious, if you put some of the magnet sheet flat against the board where your vinyl pocket is, would it attract and catch the cap when you open the bottle? I've seen this style of cap catcher (magnetic) and wonder how strong the magnet has to be to catch the...

These turned out way better than I had hoped! As mentioned in the previous post, I tried using a twisty tie to make it easier to remove the wax; however, after a few experiments, I discovered that the wire from the tie pulls through its own paper and the wax like an incision and the wax is...

Thanks for your responses. I'm about to post the final product. I don't think the boxes come any smaller as they are manufactured for the 750 ml bottles of wine - a 750 ml Belgian bomber just happens to fit almost perfectly. You could probably find a box that would fit a smaller bottle but it...

Greetings and Happy Holidays my fellow Brewmeisters, Wanted to give a glance at this year's Christmas gift for a couple of lucky friends – hopefully they aren’t browsing this site or they will know what they are getting. I brewed up a batch of American Pale Ale in October and split it...

Well, I’m home after 1 month of training and 6.5 months in the desert. I took the advice of Stoneman and Makomachine and brewed the American Amber partial grain right before I left. I gave it two weeks in the primary before transferring it to the 5 gallon keg and putting it under 12 psi CO2...

I’m deployed to Afghanistan and have access to relatively inexpensive embroidery services. As a gift to my brewing buddy back home, last name Mercer, I created this design for a brew work shirt. I bought a heavy weight, short sleeve Dickies work shirt and had the front and back embroidered...

Thanks a ton! I now plan to put it on gas for the entire time I am away. I am considering storing it at my brewing Sensei's house so he can watch the pressure and make sure there are no slow leaks...for obvious reasons I am going to have to think that through some more.

Greetings Cerveceros, I’ve been brewing partial grain for approximately 6 months now and have had great success; much thanks to the awesome posts on this site and my neighborhood brew sensei who got me started. I searched and read many posts on how long you can let beer sit in a...
