    anybody ever used one of these

    Not that I have the $ but they do look pretty cool (and expensive) way to get into all grain. http://morebeer.com/search/104230

    Got 5 gallons, don't think so...

    Looking for some advice. When I brew my 5 gallons of wort many times I only end up with 4-4.5 gallons or less due to the settling of all the malt yeast etc. Is it ok to add water to bring back to 5 gallons mark? Thanks for the info! Have a great Sunday brewing.

    Orange and Ginger to primary?

    Can I add ginger and orange peel to my wheat beer secondary. I've been thinking about a watermelon wheat but am now considering doing an orange ginger thing. The wheat beer is in its first day in the primary. OG is 1.044 so will probably be about a 4% beer I think. Thanks!
