So this is a mock up of what I am intending to do. I plan to make the weldless brew stand and make it a manual direct fire RIMS until I decide to upgrade and automate it some. I plan to take the burners off my twin burner range stove. I also plan to use the burner from my turkey fryer. I...

I have been contemplating making one for sometime. Especially with winter around the corner. I used a 500 GPH bilge pump that is connected to a 2/6 amp battery charger. I use an immersion chiller on the garden hose until down to 100F which takes about 10 minutes while stirring. Then I switch...

I have everything I need to keg now! :rockin: I received my order from keg connection today. It took just under one week. I bought 4 kegs, disconnects and party taps. They also included the free o-rings with the kegs that have already been cleaned and overhauled. The rest of the stuff in the...

Something I have been pondering is how many of you smoke the THC laden cousin to hops? Whether you want to answer or not is up to you as it is a personal choice and some prefer to not let that cat out of the bag so to speak. I used to smoke a lot in college and for some time after. They...

Obviously one can harvest yeast from the fermenter, but has anyone ever harvested the yeast out of a beer bottle? I see no reason why it can't be done. Sure there is not as many yeasties in a bottle vs a carboy or the like, but with a little love they should be able to multiply to large enough...

Recently I had my first tastes of smoke beer. Definitely not a session beer, but interesting none the less. I decided to use some as a marinade and was quite pleased with the results. In fact I am considering brewing up a 3 gallon batch for an occasional drink, but primarily as a marinade...

I just got done bottling a batch of BierMuncher's Liethaus Wheat. The interesting thing is that it has the odor of a Erdinger Weissbier or Paulaner Weiss. Basically what I call a juicy fruit aroma. I used S-05 yeast and fermented at 67F. The only thing I did different was I changed up the...

I have a question regarding yeast regarding alcohol tolerance. I recently made some wine from welches concord grape juice and my FG was 1.150 Brix was 35 and estimated alcohol was 20% abv. I used 71B for yeast, which shows an alcohol tolerance of 14%. Will this wine be able to ferment out to...

I am brewing the Litehaus Bully Wheat clone and decided to mix up the hops some. I really like citrus notes in some of the beers i drink and I think they would only accentuate the refreshing nature of a light wheat beer. 6# 2 row 2.5# white wheat .5# flaked wheat .25# honey malt 70...

I had a riesling wine kit from Vino Del Vida in primary for 13 days. Yesterday I checked the gravity and I was at .997 so decided to rack to secondary. The kit came with K-meta and K-sorb, as well as some kieselsol and chitosan. For whatever reason the stabilizers and fining that came with...

I have been lurking for awhile, gleaning as much info as I can on this great site. Everything I have read, lead me to all grain. Fortunately I had most everything already so start up was not horrible. All I really needed was a mash tun which I made out of a cooler with braided SS hose, and an...
