So I just received my first ward labs report. I am planning on brewing my first true pilsner now that I have my water report. I live in Aspen CO and have very pale ale/IPA friendly water. I am wondering what water changes it will take to create a CLASSIC light pilsner. I have a medium hard...

So I just went out to my storage shed to grab a cornie to keg a beer that's ready and this is what I found. This keg was full of starsan and look what happened. I live in the Colorado high country and it's been real cold lately. Anyone who lives where it's cold be forewarned!!!

So I just got my bg-14 burner and am working on mounting it up. I have a 15psi regulator which I know is not optimal but it should put off enough heat for my needs. My question is about orifice size. I live at 8000 feet in CO. Will I need to change my orifice size from the standard one that...

Does anyone know of a company or someone on this site that sells a stand for a banjo burner (BG-14) by itself? I have the burner and the regulator but my brew sculpture idea has been put on hold for a while and I just want a regular burner stand. Thanks, JP

I just got my new keezer all wired up with my love TS2 temp controller I took off my old keezer. It is well beyond the set temp and the compressor is still running. The controller does not have the red dot showing that the compressor SHOULD be off. Even more weird, the compressor stays on...

So I just finished up my new keezer. brand new 13cf Frigidaire with a love TS2-010 controller. This controller came off my last keezer I had for over a year. All programming is the same. Got it all wired up and it started cooling nicely. About 2 hrs after I plugged it in, it hit target...

So I have had my keezer for about a year now. It is a very old gibson chest freezer that i Got it for free off craigslist and completely overhauled it with a paint job, temp controller, collar ect..I put 4 taps on it and its big so it also doubles as a lager chamber, cold crash ect...Last night...

I was out of town for the past week and was happy to see that my 2nd year chinook plant sprouted while I was gone. It has 1 very large bine and 4 smaller bines growing. Because I was gone, I don't know which was the first to sprout. I'm assuming the biggest was first, so I'm inclined to prune...

So I scored a old gibson chest freezer for free on craigslist. It was in rough shape so the plan was to paint it, put a new lid gasket on it, as well as a collar. Also have a love controller and a few taps comming. I am comfortable with the construction BUT... The freezer is soo old that the...

So my brother got a oak barrel from his neighbor who made wine with it one time and decided it wasnt for him. Since my bro has a few different full size barrel things going on with his home brew club he gave it to me. it was stored pretty well and seems to be in decent shape. He was told its...

So my brother got a 5 gallon french oak chard barrel from his neighbor. His neighbor made one batch of wine and decided it wasnt for him. It has been sitting in his garage for a few months now unused. I have plans to eventually use it in a sour but that will be 6 months from now most likely...

So I want to do a sour here soon and one of my favorites is supplication by russian river. I found this recipe that seems like its on the right track. I was telling my brother about it (he's a seasoned brewer as well) and he told me that he had a 5 gallon chardonnay barrel his neighbor gave to...

So I ordered some hop shots from northern brewer to do an IPA soon. I really like the clean bitterness they give and they dont add to the trub at all, especially in heavily hopped beers. Then a friend gave me some simcoe he grew and I LOVE simcoe so I want to use these in my IPA if I can save...

So Ive been brewing a lot of summer beers lately. Next Up I have a session Amber ale, a Saison, and a Peach Hefe (I live in western CO so Palisade Peaches are everywhere and my buddy gave me 10#'s of them so it seemed natural!) My kegerator has 3 taps, 2 are CO2 and 1 is a beergas setup. Just...

So 6 days ago I made a saison using WLP 568 Belgian style saison yeast. Supposedly its a blend that is supposed to help Dupont finish since its notorious for stalling. Mashed low for a dry finish. Made a 1L starter on my stir plate 24hrs before pitching, so the whole thing was pitched at high...

Hey guys, So I just got a 20 gallon pot, the biggest plant pot the hardware store had. I put one chinook rhizome in it today, but I was thinking it might be big enough for 2. The pot held a bag and a half of fox farm ocean forest soil. Any input on this? If it will support 2 I'd definately...
