OK well I brewed a beautiful American Amber Ale that tasted great at hydro test and bottling time. Well I just got looking at my Beersmith and I had my carb level at 2.7 but didn't realize that the temp setting was at 50, so it told me 4.5 oz of priming sugar. I bottled at about 68-70 degrees...

I normally don't do a blowoff tube but I did this Saturday. It looks like I'm blowing off some yeast in the process. Could i try and make a starter out of it? I've only got like 5 AG under my belt. I did my first yeast washing per Bernie's Sticky last week, so I'm not the most sure about the...

Northern brewer sent my package a day late now I won't be able to do my starter until tonight and I AM brewing tomorrow (Vanilla Bean Porter). Do you think I'll be cool with only a 18 hour starter? I'm not all that worried just like some reassurance fromm the HBT crew sometimes. Thanks guys...

Hey guys I need some advice from the wealth of knowledge that is HBT. I got my hands on an old Brinkman turkey fryer unit. The Aluminum pot is very well made much better than the junk I have seen at lowes now a days, not that it matters I got two keggles but it could always come in handy. But my...

I am looking into getting my burners but don't want to spend $100 for one burner. I was wondering if anyone here use the SP10? It says it reaches 185,000BTU with the 20 PSI regulator. That should work fine for full boils right? Also if anyone has used them, is the cooking surface big enough to...

I got my kegs and I cut the tops off. Now I ran out of money so I am waiting for the next step. I am debating on welding my bulk heads in (which I will have to have someone do for me) or do I go weldless. I know that weldless will have cracks and creavices for bacteria and welding probably...

Ok as some of you may know that have read my last couple post that I am gearing up for my AG. We here is the recipe I was thinking about. It is just something I made up. It's all German ingredients I had the hop pellets so figured why not go all German and get German grain, but really dont ask...
