I searched so go easy if this has been discussed before. I've been making water adjustments for a while, both to correct the mash pH and chloride to sulfate ratio and would really like to be able to do a back to back taste test of different chloride to sulfate amounts and ratios without doing...

I've been using a hand-me-down regulator in my kegerator for a while and it's time to replace it. So I've narrowed my puchase down to these three regulators that others on the board have appeared to be pleased with. No-brand "commercial" w/ adjustment handle for $41.75...

About a month ago I brewed 6 gal of irish red ale w/ a 2L WLP004 starter. I oxygenated for about 30 seconds w/ my air stone and bottled O2 and pitched at about 65 deg F. Here's the timeline of the ferment: In the basement @ 65 deg F: -18 hours from pitching: HUGE blow-off. Looking good -2...

Hey all, I broke in my newly completed HERMS this Sunday by brewing Jamil's Koelsch. My OG was a little off (low) due to poor fly-sparging technique but otherwise all was well. I whirl-pooled and cooled to ~58 deg F w/ my immersion chiller before oxegenating and pitching 2 tubes (no time...

Just a heads up that Target, in my area at least, has their ice cream machines on clearance. Picked up the one linked below for $17. About the same price as a 12VDC wiper motor but without the hassle of scrounging up an AC/DC converter. The motor's about 200W or about 1/4 hp. I'm hopin it'll...

I just have a bit of quick praise for MoreBeer. I just dealt with Bryan at MoreFlavor customer service about a faulty O2 regulator I received. He addressed my issue promptly with no hassle and got an order in for a new regulator right away. I'm not sure I've ever felt so good about receiving...

Hey, I'm going to attempt to grow some hops this year and would like some feedback from anyone who's been successful in SE Wisconsin (Milwaukee, area) as to what strains work well and which don't. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

After getting frustrated with the speed control limitations of brushless computer fans and just feeling uneasy about the lack of robustness in the speed control methods being implemented by the nice people on this forum I decided to go a step further in making my own stir plate. Don't get me...

I've been looking at getting either the Bayou Classic SP10 or SQ14 burners w/ stand. The SP10 is nice because it totes a 20PSI regulator that supposedly results in 185k BTU output. The SQ14 comes w/ a 10 PSI regulator for 55k BTU output. However the SP10 won't hold a keggle well without...

I did a few searches for discussion on beer and brewing magazines but couldn't really find much good debate and conversation. I currently subscribe to BYO and haven't really checked out many of the other magazines related to brewing and general beer enjoyment. I really like the topics and...

I have 3 hop rhizomes (Willamette, Goldings, and Centennial) in the fridge that have been there for about 1 month. I planned on getting thesse in right away but have just been too busy. Today's June 1. If I get these in the ground this weekend will I still be in good shape or is it too late...
