Had an idiot moment earlier in the week that I've just now realized. I did a split 10 gallon ipa a few weeks ago. Five gallons just got two packs of notty and the other five got wyeast 1388. My goal in the deal was to compare the two side by side. Well the notty batch has since been kegged while...

Finally got around to building my beer flights and flight rack. Took me a bit figure out a design that I was happy with. I never liked the paddle boards as I felt the sampler glasses needed to be contained rather than sitting on a tray. After searching out various sampler glasses I ended up with...

I'm currently in the process of doing a basement brewery build and as costs build up I'm looking to build the controller on the cheap. I have the 30 amp 240 volt outlet in place, and the still dragon controller is in the mail. I'd like to be able to modify the controller to run both the boil...

I received this hlt for my birthday last year http://www.homebrewstuff.com/20-gallon-stainless-hot-liquor-tank.html in hopes of going to 10 gallon batches. I've recently decided that I'd like to keep things to five gallons and this vessel is just to big. It's unused (except for the lid) and in...

Truly is a Black Friday here in Glenmoore, as both my ipa and my double ipa kegs kicked this evening. Sad day indeed.

Just cracked my first bottle of this one and figured it was worthy of a recipe post. This one turned out to be summer pale I was looking for. It's an easy drinking summer brew with loads of hop aroma and flavor, yet the bitterness remains balanced (love the hop bursting). Sure is a nice way to...

It seems that this year we're going to have a bumper harvest of strawberries in our little patch so it looks like I'll be brewing up a strawberry wheat in the next week. My question is what kind of alcohol content can I expect from adding 5 pounds to the secondary? I like to be specific with my...

Just looking for thoughts on my current situation. I'm planning on brewing a monster iipa similar to pte (1.080 og). I have all the ingredients, however I only have one package of us-05. I know it's not reccomended to make starters with dry yeast, but I have a 2000ml flask, a stir plate and a...

Brewed up a two hearted about a month ago and had an issue with it stopping at 1.020. Tried all kinds of things to get things going again swirling, warming up to 70 and lastly I pitched a pack of us 05. Stayed at 1.020 for a week and a half so I figured screw it and I bottled it up. Anyway I...

Decided I wanted to give out beer to friends and family this year. I'm quite proud of the product I'm producing but I wasn't content with using old victory six packs to deliver my beer. I came up with an eight pack design and proceeded to dig out the old dovetailing jig. This is what I came up...

Well being as that I'm a stay at home dad I try and get my bottling done during babies nap time. Today I boiled and cooled my priming syrup and added it to my priming bucket. I grabbed my autosyphon and for some reason I looked in my bucket and perceived the syrup as left over sanatizer. So I...

Heard a bit about this on the radio the other day and since the topic comes up all the time on this forum I figured I'd share. http://www.federalnewsradio.com/?nid=31&sid=2387275
