I'm sure this has been done, but I can't find anything through the search. Here's my set up: I have a 5 gallon pot so I usually do a partial boil, and top off at the end. I always partial mash (in a bag) in my 5 gallon pot as well. I'm thinking I could easily mash 8-10lbs of grain in my...

Anyone going to this on Saturday, April 14th in Fair Park? I just bought my tickets. The Dart runs right to the front door basically, yay for no DWIs. See you guys there!

I've been all about the hops lately, and I would like a change of pace. I would normally think of going towards a stout, or porter, but summer is around the corner, and this style intrigues me. Only one problem: I don't think I've ever had one. Anyone know of a beer that is fairly...

Finally got around to brewing up an amber for my GF. Should be ready about half way through April. I was shooting for an amber a little on the sweeter side since she has been putting up with my IPAs for a while now. I'm about half way through the boil right now. I'll let you guys know how...

Title says it all. Does anyone know for sure if 2 pin lock kegs will fit in a sanyo-4912? Hopefully WITH a 5lb CO2 tank? There's one on CL right now for $100 that looks to be in good shape. I am slowly piecing together my kegging equipment, and pin locks were cheaper, so that's what I have. I...

I posted a recipe up here a few weeks ago and it wasn't any good from the get go, so I've decided to just start over, and let you guys help me out. I need an easy drinker on the sweet side for my GF. I've been making nothing but IPAs and hoppy PAs lately so it's time for something we can both...

Ok enough with the alliterations... I have been making a new 1 gallon batch of star san every brew day (using the same batch to bottle and brew), and I was wondering if it is ok to store in a milk or water jug, or do I need to buy a glass jug? I have also seen some people saying that they...

So it's about time I make a brew for the girl friend as she doesn't enjoy what she calls "bitter" beers. She gave me some kent goldings as a stocking stuffer so I think it would be cool to use those in the recipe. Usually KG = an irish red to me, and when I think IRISH red, I think about as...

Usually when I'm mashing (Partial mash on an electric stove top) I walk by every ten mins or so and put the burner on Low for a few minutes and then turn it off. Well this time I forgot to turn it off, and my mash got way, way too hot. I immediately poured in some cold water and brought it...

I saw this article a few days ago, and forgot to post it up here. I didn't see if anyone else had posted it. Court says Texas rules defining beer violate First Amendment | Local News | News from Fo... Here's a longer right up on it... Brewed and Never Battered

Here's their website...looks sort of...well, cheap. Prices look pretty nice though. Anyone order from there before? spikebrewing

I usually brew with ozarka water, and my brews have turned out pretty well. I have heard that adding brewing salts can highlight the hops. I am brewing a Stone IPA this weekend, and was wondering if I should toss in some salts to make the hop flavor pop a little? The most recent report I...

Has anyone ever purchased beer from ebay? I've been trying to track down some pliny the elder for a christmas gift, and it seems my options are coming down to this. Most of the stores that sell it online do not ship to Texas, and the 3 or 4 that do are completely out for a month at least...

I'm on my 3rd or 4th batch after taking a few years off. My first two went off without a hitch, but these last two have been throwing out some pretty nasty sulfur smells. At first I didn't worry and just assumed it was part of the fermentation process, but now I cracked open a bottle after 3...

I have the trial version of beer tools pro right now, but it doesn't account for hop utilization when doing partial boils. I didn't notice that until I had already started my boil last night. Is there a free software that you guys l ow of that can help me?

I am brewing a blonde this weekend, and figured I would get a small batch of apfelwein going as well. I am brewing 5 gallons of the blonde, and only 2 gallons of the apfelwein. I was thinking I could get away with using one packet for both of these? Any opinions? I was thinking I...

From what I've seen everyone is out until late November? Should I preorder or does anyone know where I can get my hands on some?

Does anyone know where i can find a PM version of BM's centennial blonde? I made it to page 15 or 16 of the recipe thread, but I didn't see it. Can i just use the same specialty grains, and sub DME for the 2 row? I'm at work so I can't run it through the software, but I would like to pick up the...

Ok so in my last few brews I have taken the pot off of the heat while adding the DME (Late addition - Last 15 minutes). My question is that since it takes about 10 minutes in some cases to get back to a boil do I count that time in my hop additions, or pause the timer and restart when it...

How would you adjust the color in a recipe without changing the flavor too much? I recently bottled a Red IPA (I wanted it to be red anyways), and it's more brown then red. Also, what SRM do I need to shoot for when looking at my software to get to a nice deep red? Here's the recipe if it...
