When I transferred from my secondary (where I had the strawberries) to a keg (in your case bottling bucket) I sanitized a mesh sieve and was able to scoop out ~95% of the now pale squishy berries which were mostly floating. From there I just tried to rack carefully and avoid the others leaving a...

I've made only 1 fruit beer but it happens to be a Stawberry wheat beer and it is amazing. Not sure if you are doing all grain, being the beginners forum I assume possibly not. Mine was done all grain but I see no reason why it wouldn't come out just as good using a wheat and regular extract...

It's been a long time but I thought I'd report back with my results as anticlimactic as they are. I tried this adding the grains (1lb) at flame out but waiting ~15 minutes before starting wort chiller to allow for some pasteurization (I had adjusted my hop schedule to compensate for this as...

Why not? I'm not disagreeing I'm really just looking for reasons this will/won't work, or adverse effects. When I first thought of doing a grain add at flame out my first instinct was that it wouldn't work or shouldn't be done. But I couldn't think of why or any advise specifically warning...

I was thinking about trying to brew a beer with a very pronounced honey aroma/taste. From what I've read/experienced it's more productive to use honey malt then actual honey. I'm wondering if you lose aroma with grains as you do with hops, so that after a 90minute boil would you boil away...

I thought I'd share a bit of info. I will admit I didn't read all 254 pages of this thread but I've done searches for this and didn't come up with anything on this board. I was looking to create an additional probe for my STC-1000. Not originally understanding the difference between K-Type and...

I've seen this as well and have thought about picking one up. It seems like the easiest and most efficient way to do an oak beer. I am also interested in hearing any feedback from anyone who has used the product.

Good deal, free is good. Grabbed a copy and sent to my kindle.

I also recently bought from NY brew supply via Amazon as opposed to EBay. I had a mostly positive experience as well. I ordered a 50' copper IC . Delivery was quick and packaged well. My only problem was the fittings were epoxied onto the ends instead of soldered. I didn't think this would...

This is great, had the parts I needed sitting around to try this and a test bottle worked great. I'll have to get an extra cobra tap so I don't risk breaking my second tap (untill I get around to building my dual tower) by using it. I'll also have to drink my test bottle tonight since I...

Third batch for me now in primary, 6 gallons Total 22,453

Thanks Andy great site, I've used it for all my beers so far (I label those I bring to my club and give away to friends). Will be gladly paying up for the premium membership. My local home brew club thought I was a genious graphic artist and started signing me up to create some banners for...

Wow is that really a thing? I worked as a bartender for years so maybe my perception is off, but I never imagined someone wouldn't know how to work a tap.

I happen to brew an Irish red to try it, not having brewed one before. That was last week, only afterward did i realize my fortuitous timing.

So I wanted to test exactly how much this could potentially effect my readings. The next beer I brewed I treated the same as I had with the hefe I topped off my concentrated postboil wort with water and stired a bit (about as much as I had been previously). I took a reading from the top half...

You should clean the lables off recap them and tell him they are homebrews.

Your video definitely made me laugh. I’m glad you are such a good sport about all the friendly ribbing you’re receiving here. In the end we are all brewers (or soon to be in some cases) so I would hope you would see any comments that are unduly harsh. I think the fact that you went through...

Yeah that and they need to somehow explain the ridiculous price of said beer. "D*mn a pint is how much....oh it's premium well gee I feel better then."

Randomly found this on Youtube, didn't see it previously posted. Cracked me up. What a trooper. He uses some very old Mr Beer ingredients subs in some bakers yeast, "dry hops" with some shredded coconut and it "Tastes kind of awful...wow it's gross" but then "...that said though, you...

Lol I use to bartend at an Olive Garden. They have some odd idea's of what constitutes premium.
