    Hopping a Braggot and honey vs malt proportion

    Aloha, Planning on doing a Belgian Braggot with Wyeast 3787 and I'm looking for some basic braggot info: When using hops what would be the target IBU? What is a good ratio for honey vs. malt? In the little bit of research I've done I read 2 lbs of honey to 1/2 lb of malt.

    Looking for a wiring diagram/parts list

    After about an hour of scrolling and searching I'm throwing the question to the hive mind. I am looking for a diagram that allows me to plug into an existing 3 wire 240v 35A outlet (and use a gcfi spa panel so I don't....ya know: die or burn my house down) and power one element and a chugger...

    Recirculating pump cleaning thingy?

    I was reading through this: http://www.homebrewfinds.com/2012/02/recirculating-draft-line-cleaning-build.html And I was pondering if you could use a similar pump to make a DIY version of Mark's Keg Washer (http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/mark-s-keg-washer.html)? I was thinking of...

    How can I tell what my main panel is?

    Hoping to upgrade to an e-brew setup this year. We have a fuse box instead of a breaker panel and the swmbo has vetoed the idea of upgrading the panel just for me to brew with. So, I'm trying to figure out what amperage my main panel is. What should I be looking for? I know that I have one...

    Planning an E-Build how many outlets?

    I am just in the planning stages of a basement e-build centered around a BCS-462. I am lucky enough that the main electrical panel is literally on the other side of the wall from my future brewspace. Unfortunately I have to hire an electrician to run some more outlets. Here's what I am...

    First boil in an aluminum kettle and the inside turns blackish?

    I've had this pot: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CHJI30/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 for a while now and haven't yet had the opportunity to use it. Following some folks suggestions I boiled 10ish (eyeballed it) gallons of water on my burner first prior to actually using it to brew. The...

    I am a bonehead, now how do I fix this?

    Just finished bottling a batch of oatmeal stout. When I tossed it in secondary last week the hydrometer was reading 1.010 which I thought was a pretty good FG. So I bottled the batch and tried the sample left over in the test cylinder.....it was waaaay overly sweet. So I took a new reading...

    Possibly stupid bottling question

    Well priming sugar really. Was going to bottle yesterday so I boiled my priming sugar, covered the pot, and left it to cool. Also brewed yesterday which ate up all my time so I didn't get a chance to bottle. Soooooo the covered pot has been sitting on the stove since yesterday. Do you...

    Is this even possible?!

    I brewed up the Northern Brewer PM-Oatmeal Stout (first time with PM and I likes it!) on Monday and was more than a little surprised at my OG. The recipe sheet predicts a OG of 1.049 but when I finished and took my reading it was 1.065 at about 80F. I mashed in a 2 gallon cooler with 5 quarts of...

    HERMS thought

    So I'm kicking around the idea of building a HERMS system in the future and I had a thought/question: Would it be feasible to use a plate chiller (Therminator, Shirron, etc) as a heat exchanger in such a system? It seemed logical to me that if something could cool wort it could also be used to...

    Yeast washing water still good?

    I have three 16oz jars of water that I boiled and sealed as described in the yeast washing sticky. Was going to use them three days ago and took them out of the fridge but didn't end up using them and they've been on the counter ever since. Would these still be okay to use? None of their...
