So as I have upgraded to my 3 keggle setup, I am having a ton of trouble with efficiency as well as how much product I get at the end. any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a 2- tier Herms system and am consistently getting around 70% efficiency but the bigger issue to me is that I am...

we had one of our first 65 degree days yesterday and I couldn't help but start re-stocking the supply after taking the hit of hunting and then the holidays (both seasons where I consume more than I can make) I managed to make a imperial stout, a Two-hearted clone and the Vanilla Caramel Cream...

So I bought this barrel today and plan on brewing a imperial stout to put in it this weekend, any suggestions on how I should prepare it

I currently have a PID controlled Direct fire system. I have been considering adding elements to each kettle to save money on propane. However I want to retain the ability to use the burners when electricity is not available and want to use as much of what I have with out buying new kettles to...

Does anyone have a preferred way of doing this? I have thought about priming the whole batch with corn sugar, but is this the best way, should I only add enough sugar for the 2 gallons going to the bottle? Just looking for what people have tried and what they felt worked best. Thanks

So I am in a pinch, I need to have a beer bottled and ready to drink in 3 weeks. I have made this beer before with great luck and is manageable to do on a work night since it has basically no clean up. I am thinking that since it is pre-hopped that I could let it sit in primary for 7 days, then...

Last weekend I invited a buddy to help with a Dopplebock, so far it seems to be doing well. I told him that I would be transferring it to secondary on Monday to pull it off the trub. His response was that he was going to pick up DME and add it to the secondary per his "uncles" advice. While I...

I have been kicking back the ideas of getting a plastic conical or more likely creating my own from a 15gal inductor tank but am really looking for someone to help me put together the Pro's and Con's of using FDA approved plastics. I think one of the first lessons I was thought was beer goes...

So I managed to use one of the legs of my stand for a propane manifold which looks and works great, the only down side is it left me with about 20 inch's of dead space that I would like to fill after seeing how long my pilot lights stay lit once the valve is shut off. I was thinking about...

So I just bought a 809HS and what a great job it did .... Once i got it primed, I think one issue I had was my mash was a bit dense I took advice for the LHBS to mash in at 1.25 gal instead of the 1.7 that I normally do but with all my dead space and HERMS coil I think i should have stuck to...

I currently have RTD's in my Mash Tun, HLT and Brew kettle. Since I didn't want to remove any of my existing equipment while I was building my new system I now have 2 extra RTD's and was wondering where people thought I might want to add them? I do have a HERMS system and have thought about...

Last night I brewed my first beer in the new keggle that my GF bought me for my B-day. I have brewed 15 or so beers now and pretty much have my routine squared away (remove from heat while pouring extract etc.) but last night as I drained into my carboy I had some scorched extract underneath my...
