I will be visiting Philadelphia this weekend and would appreciate any recommendations on breweries or brew pubs to visit. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks

Hey all, I've been using my current regulator on my kegerator for about 2 years (I have a chest freezer 4 tap system). Recently, something has gone horribly wrong. I tried numerous combinations of things but to no avail. Here's the basic gist: My regulator seems to be no longer...

Anyone try this beer from Great Lakes? Wow this beer is awesome. It kinda tastes like pineapple juice, kinda reminds me of Heady Topper. Anyone else try or enjoy this beer? Sent from my GT-P5210 using Home Brew mobile app

Hey all. Happy St Patty's Day. Our third child arrived today so please celebrate and drink a few home brews for me. I would but I'm stuck in this damn hospital.

I knew there are numerous threads on a keezer build but I figured I'd post my questions here anyway. My kegerator is dying and I've decided to build a keezer. One question I had was, is a collar necessary? Seems easier to drill the shank holes into wood but will the top of the chest freezer...

So I just ran out of 2 row and other base malts except for my light Munich malt (10L). Until my next group buy goes through in another month, I am reserved to using Munich for my next batch (which is ok because i've been wanting to experiment with it for a while). I thought about doing a SMASH...

Pardon me if there is a thread on this already but I came across this article today. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/26/business/california-anheuser-busch-lawsuit/index.html?hpt=hp_t3 Apparently a group is suing AB, claiming they water down certain beers. I find it hard to believe actually...

Just got a new Blichmann floor burner and it seems there is a tiny crack in the casting. I'll have to take a pic when I get home but I am assuming this is not normal. Thoughts? I'll post a pic later

I'm not talking about horrible brew days, I'm talking about actual nightmares you have about brewing. Last night, I had one of many, many nightmares about brewing and I thought to myself other people must have them too right? Sorry if a similar thread exists, but I could not find one. Mine...

So I was trying to think of something truly awesome and witty to say for my thousandth post, but alas I got nothing. Homebrew FTW! And yay 1,000 :tank:

Just found out from my mom that my Great Great Grandafther was a Brewmaster for a local brewry here in the Syracuse area called Haberle's (it is now defunct). The only thing I know so far is that his last name was Griswald (German). I am trying to research it more but thought it was...

Like the title says, help me make the greatest IPA ever (all grain). Here is what I have: Malt: 2-Row Munich Golden Promise Crystal 15 Crystal 40 Aromatic Hops: Centennial Cascade Columbus Aramis Summit EKG Chinook - 4 oz Simcoe - 8 oz I've been experimenting with a lot...

Hey all, I know a lot of people wash yeast used during the fermentation of a beer and I understand the concept. But what I haven't ever seen is someone growing yeast from a fresh vial (or smack pack) and packaging it for use later. I was thinking I could just buy some 1056, make a huge...

I have a dual tap kegerator and the strangest thing happened right now. One beer pours, the other does not. Checked the pressure, all seems well. Checked the keg, not empty. I didn't open it yet but I'm so confused. Anyone know what the problem could be?

First time I've ever seen the krausen creep into the airlock. Blowoff?

So I just kicked a keg of my Spiced Pumpkin Ale. Flushed the lines out and ran some star san through it to sanitize but i think the lines still have the pumpkin ale spice aroma in there. I put an Irish Red on and all I can smell is the aroma of the pumpkin ale still when I pull the irish red...

Does anyone else get a really warm buzz when drinking homebrew? It seems very different than a normal buzz, like very warm. Very chill...

Brewing up a pumpkin ale soon (a little late I know) and was just wondering which yeast I should use between S04 and Notty. I know the spices and pumpkin will be the main attraction so maybe the strain doesn't matter as much. Anyway, what do you all think I should use? Will it really matter?

God d@mn I love Great Lakes Brewery. Just tried their Oktoberfest and my god it's good. I've had a lot of their other beers and they are all fantastic. The Oktoberfest had a great grainy malty taste, does anyone know what malts they use? Oh...and...Go Giants!

Looking for some feedback on summit hops. Anyone used them? What do you like/dislike about them? How is the flavor and bittering? I'm attempting an all summit IPA and have never used them.
