So today I was helping a buddy hard wire his STC-1000 to his fridge for temperature control (cooling only). We wired the STC-1000 per the schematic below and had no luck getting it to kick on the compressor to the fridge. If you look at the schematic below we took wire number 10 which came from...

So today I was brewing a Dusseldorf Alt Bier and made a mistake when working in beersmith and picked the wrong equipment profile. I generally do six gallon batches and have a pre-boil volume some where allitle over 8 gallons (90 min boil). I don't know how I didn't realize the recipe volumes but...

Over the weekend I had plans to brew an ESB. I had read quite a bit about ESB recipes in the book Designing Great Beers and decided I wanted to try and follow the recipe formulation as closely as possible. Instead of my normal 1.5 qt/lb mash thickness I tried 1 qt/lb which the book said was a...

This is going to be my first time brewing a Classic Rauchbier and I was wondering if you all would critique my recipe. From the research I have done it seems like most sources agree that a rauchbier is almost like an Oktoberfest/Vienna lager but with a portion of the grain bill substituted out...

Hello, So I made my first lager this past Friday which is a Vienna lager that I decoction mashed. Everything on brew day went perfect considering I had never done a decoction. I chilled to 50F and put in the chest freezer set at 50F and fermentation started in around 12 hrs. The temps where I...

So I have 6 gallons of beer in Primary fermenting with Brett L & B from Wyeast. At bottling time I was thinking of racking off 3 gallons and doing a secondary with some Jolly Pumpkin Bam Noire dregs. My questions is this: Since I normally get more fruity aroma/taste instead of funky/horsey with...

I have been wanting to brew a Dark Saison but I am not sure what grains I should use to get the dark color I'm looking for. I was actually hoping I could take my existing saison recipe and tweak it into a dark saison with the help of my fellow hombrewtalkers. Here is the recipe for my saison...

I have two bottles of 2011 DFH 120min and I am looking for some brett and or sour beers. Just throwing this out there in case anyone is interested.

I really want to try more beer with Brett in them but can never seem to find them. I noticed a lot of people on here are looking for DFH 120 min which I still have a decent amount of leftover from Christmas. If anyone is willing to trade I am mainly looking for beer with Brett.

So i ordered a kit for an Irish Blonde Ale from northern brewer which they messed up and didn't mill my oat malt. Now i have 9.75 lbs of milled 2-row mixed with 1 lb umilled oat malt. They are going to send me a lb of MILLED oat malt to add to my recipe since i have nowhere near me to go have...

I am a noob when it comes to mead making and have been pondering the idea of a chipotle capsicumel. I only really want to do a 1 gallon batch so if its terrible i didn't waste a ton of money. I'm really just wondering if anyone has done anything similar, and if so, how did it turn out. I was...

I brewed a braggot and let it ferment out completely. I racked off of yeast and have been bulk ageing for about 4 months now. I was going to add some yeast to this before bottling time in order for it to carbonate, but i am unsure how much yeast to use. It was orginally done with D-47 if that...
