Hey All, Just in case people weren't aware that this is coming up. Also.. rising pint has been confirmed for this year. http://willimanticbrewingcompany.com/hop-fest/

Hey Guys, Had a problem I was hoping that one of the crafty folks from homebrewtalk might be able to help me solve (preferably for relatively cheap). So the situation is; when i moved over to all grain I decided to start a 3 keggle system. I bought a big thermometer for the Mash Tun...

Anyone else here get a visit from that lovely winter storm? Took 6 hours to get our cars clean and driveway open yesterday.. Another 5 today for someone else's place. That was 4 of us all going at once. In the process of shoveling a maze for the dog to use to run off some steam. Poor Gal...

I know everyone has their movie.. The one that you have to leave on, no matter how many times you have seen it, what you are doing, the last time you saw it... anything. For me, I would have to say that my movie weakness is the Shawshank Redemption (or as we just call it "the shank")...

So, I've been working on my set up for almost a year. Did about 6 extract batches, before deciding to jump all in to all grain. :ban: Going to do a test run today with some h20 just to make sure everything works. Got the 3 Converted Kegs (Yes, Purchased Legally from a Local Home Brewer with...

Well I can't spell... And the mobile app doesn't wanna let me change the title... But it's the deconstructed 12 pack sampler. Any else try this yet? It's a limited release by Sam Adams. It breaks down all the types of hops used in their latitude 48 ipa. Really interesting to see how all the...

Hey all, Gettin to the point of bottling my first few batches and was wondering if anyone had any tips for cleaning/delabeling bottles. Right now we soak the used ones in a bucket to get the labels off then dry them on a bottle tree. Then when it comes time to bottle we submerge them in...

Hey guys, Hoping you can help me out a little. A week ago i made my blood orange wheat, extract kit from True brew. Pitched the yeast (muntons dry) at about 75 degrees. The instructions called for it be pitched at about 80. We rehydrated the yeast about an hour before it was pitched...

Hey guys, Some pics from my first brew - Falconers Flight Extra IPA. http://s1129.photobucket.com/albums/m506/BeKindBrew/ I would say for a first time it went pretty damn well. We were getting pretty active fermentation within 12 hours of pitching the yeast. Right now it's still...

Hey guys... Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for substitutes to the traditional carboy bung. I found several 4 gal plastic #1 pet carboys but the openings are freaking hugggge. I was Hopin to use them to split a 4 gal wheat batch and play around with adding some different aspects...

Hey Guys, I found, at my local supermarket, a few 5 gallon #1 PET bottles. They were filled with the distilled water i am using for a brew. Looking through past posts, it appears that they should be okay to use, especially for secondary fermentation. The stoppers i have for my regular...

Hey guys, So we are planning on brewing a Wheat beer from extract tomorrow. 5 gallon batch, unfortunately we don't have the tools to do a full boil though. So our boil will only be 3 gallons and we will make up for the rest with distilled water in the fermentor. What we were planning...

Hey guys, Hoping you can help a novice with another bunch of dumb questions. As the title states, we got so excited about pitching the yeast.. that we flat out forgot to take the OG. We are making a kit beer, the Brewers best Falconers Flight IPA, and so far it appears to be going pretty...

Hey guys, So i am fairley new at this, only have about 2 batches under my belt (watched some friends brew in the past though). I recently got offered a 30 Plate Heat Exchanger by a friend of a friend. Thing is in great condition, never used. I got it for around 80 dollars total, too good...

Hey Guys, New brewer here from the Connecticut. Got started with the Mr.Beer, but was instantly hooked. Just brewed a batch of Falconers Flight IPA on Sunday, with the deluxe starter kit from Northern Brewers (glass carboys). Already can't wait to start my next batch! If only carboys...
