I'm pretty sure I have seen a post on this forum showing a better bottle and corresponding volume based on the indentations in the side. I can't find it now. Did I dream it? BTW I tried a search and can't search for better, only bottle. Do you know how many pages there are for a search...

Did anyone go and if so how was it? I went and enjoyed it. The first time I've been. Next year I will skip lunch so I have more room for the beer.

Heading to Edinburg next month since my son is graduating from the Vet school there. Will be there 2 weeks. Where and what should I visit and where should I go for a pint? Thanks. Tom Beazlie

I have Mt. Hood, Centennial, Columbus, German Perle, Kent Goldings (UK), Styrian Goldings, German Spalt, Amarillo, Magnum. What would you use? I'm considering the Spalt.:confused:

Made a batch this weekend. Rainy and overcast and cool. Inside temp 68F. Perfect. Got home this afternoon, beautiful and sunny outside. Indoor temp 81 frickin degrees. Its either to hot or too cold all in the same damn 24 hours.

Still trying to get the hang of Pro Mash. AG, batchsparge is my routine. I am brewing a batch today --2.5 gal. In the brew sesion PM gives me a total mash volume of 3.1gal. I believe this includes mash water and grain volume for a total vol. of 3.1 gal with 5lbs grain and 1.26 qts/lbs. To...

I'm not sure this is the correct forum. However with all the talk about EF I really wanted to try this beer. Have never tried the "other", but I digress. The swmbo and I were in the OBX this weekend and went by Chip's Wine and Beer Market at mile post 6 shopping center. I did not see any...

I have brewed several batches of beer so far and while some could have been better, none were undrinkable untill now. I made an all grain wit ( have done this before with very good results) with washed and stored yeast a couple months old. Has been in the bottle about two weeks. Tried it...

I use gravity to get the hot wort through my counterflow chiller into the carbouy. The boil kettle is about 30 in off the ground and my tubing is 5/8 ID. It takes FOREVER to get the wort into the carbouy. What can I do to make it go quicker. It just seem to dribble out in a small stream...

Help! I am brewing tomorrow. Had planned a hefe with WLP 300 I had saved frozen on glycerol, but it's been 24hrs and no activity in the starter. I'm going to hold on untill tomorrow and see what it looks like, but I need a recommendation for a back up brew. I have Briess two row and Rahr...

I brewed a stout yesterday and intended to rack to a yeast cake of a barley wine which had been in the primary for about 4 weeks. After putting the BW into a secondary the primary look so groody I could not bring myself to just put the stout on top of it. I swirled up the yeast cake in the...

OK I've been an extract, steeping kinda guy off and on for about 10 yrs. Now I have more leisure time and more disposable income (all the kids have moved out) and I have branched out to all grain. I've got promash and have been using that for a few batches now. Recently I tried to work up a...

I'm new to this forum and have been reading and lurking. I have been amazed at the volume of beer/wine involved in some of the tag lines, yooper chick comes to mind-and she says she bottles. My gawd. So I'm a bottler too. I have an extra fridge which contains two party pigs and two cases of...

Hello all. I'm a old brewer who has been brewing extract off and on for 10yrs and recently have moved to all grain. I live in Poquoson, Va. I just found this forum. Thanks to all for the great info! Tom Beazlie
