I'm looking for suggestions, tips, or any experience people may have with changing over the tubing on their system. I still haven't purchased a structure, but did pick up a march pump and am looking at the new expense of connecting the MT/HLT/Kettle to the device...all SS, needing 2 ball...

So I was up for trying my hand at an Amber Ale, found a recipe here that I thought looked nice, but was confused as to the batch size (was listed as an 11gal batch). I put it into beersmith and the OG for 11 gal came out way too low (something like 1010). I went ahead and brewed it as a 5 gal...

I made a pumpkin beer 6 weeks back, it fermented for 2 weeks in primary, transferred to secondary for 2 weeks, then another 2 weeks to bottle condition. I popped open a bottle today to see how it was coming along and it almost has a sort of champagne carbonation to it...very bubbly and it...

So things started off nice and easy with a kit, I then moved on to a seasonal beer recipe, and am now trying my hand at #3... I've read through Papazian many times and am coming up with a question that I haven't been able to address through any number of podcasts or forums...I think I may be...

So I used a kit for my first beer (Brewers Best - English Brown). The recipe called for a short fermentation, somewhere around 8 days, and 2 weeks of sitting in bottles before being able to cool and drink. Tonight was that night when I was able to try my first brew, and it tastes...

I'm really new to brewing and am having a blast so far! My first attempt was an English Brown (from brewers best) and it was a simple introduction to the field. The primary fermentation ended as anticipated and after bottling on Saturday I started the next brew on Sunday. This time I...
