    Cooler mash tun has a crack. Seeking ideas on how to fix or patch it.

    I got this tun in a lot of used equipment I bought. It was thrown in for free. I would like to make use of it but the crack in the inner liner causes it to leak and I can't even imagine what would grow in the wort that would inevitably make its way into the spaces between the inner and outer...

    Sensory training for beer recipe formulation.

    One of the hurdles I face in making my own recipes is that I don't know off the top of my head all the flavors and aromas represented in various beer ingredients. I'm trying to train myself and do some research. Commercial beers can be a bit confusing because they aren't always simple, single...

    Can you use keg lube on an air lock stem.

    I always have the hardest time getting my airlocks out of the grommet on the bucket lid after fermentation. It's like they get stuck to the grommet. Can I lubricate the stem of the airlock with keg lube? Will keg lube harm the airlock, grommet, or worse the fermenting beer?

    Processing whole kernel corn for cereal mashing.

    HMMM I was gonna just brew with the whole grain. How much oil is in a pound of corn and what will that do in a beer? How is the germ removed on a commercial scale?

    Processing whole kernel corn for cereal mashing.

    Yes, we are doing a pre prohibition split 2 part mash. One is the corn with 6 row mashed in at a lower temp but brought up to boil until gelatinized then added to the main mash as a temperature infusion to bring the whole thing up to sacharification temp.

    Processing whole kernel corn for cereal mashing.

    I grew some hickory king corn last year and I'd like to use it to make a Ky Common. I don't have a corona mill. I do have a food processor, and a normal grain mill. What are some ways to process this corn in preparation for a cereal mash? I had thought about soaking it in water until it...

    Relay suggestions for ITC-1000 temperature controller

    I'm building another temperature controller using an ITC-1000 controller, Hammond 1591esbk box, and panel mount power sockets. This controller will be running appliances with greater current draw than the internal relays can safely supply so I need to use external relays and I'm not sure what to...

    Which comes first, dry hopping or gelatin fining.

    I've brewed a pale ale that I had planned to dry hop tonight or tomorrow when I rack into secondary. I'd like it to come out as clear as possible so i thought I'd try fining with gelatin. Which should come first dry hopping or gelatin and why? Should i incorporate a crash cool into my plans?when?
