Hey guys figure this is the place to post this. I had to get a new pot today which ended up being slightly larger than what my glass top stove can handle. So I was wondering if any of you know of an element that I could just plug in to counter top receptacles to help get the boil going and...

Just wondering what it is and what I can do to prevent this next year, other plants don't look effected, cut this one down to prevent spread. Lot's of little white mites all over the entire plant as well. 2nd year cascade.

Don't know if this has been covered here but the pic says it all, push out as much air as you can than stick any fast food straw into the bag and suck out as much air as you can. Works great, I dry my hops down to 20% of their original weight,

Had a bit of a windy day today and noticed my hop strings (jute twine) really swaying a lot back and forth, when it gets wet they tighten up dramatically which makes me think maybe tightening them may not be a good idea. Just wondering how much play you guys have in the string your hops climb...

Just poured a Garrison Imperial IPA, man does this thing smell good, and tastes even better. Taking that first long hard smell resulted in my nose being buried right into the head, Belgian dip style lol. Unfortunately I can't say this wasn't the first time haha.

Just looking for some feedback, mainly if the SRM and IBU's are about on par with what their tastebuds are accustomed to. Also I don't have any interest in adding rice or corn to the beer, tried it once didn't like the outcome, I do have to drink this as well lol. I would though consider...

Just wondering if these little nodes are what eventually will become hop cones?

So I brewed up my first Wee Heavy, an attempt at cloning Innis & Gunn Rum finish. I made a 3L starter (no stir plate) crashed and decanted the liquid. The beer started Friday at 1.072 and today appears to be finished at 1.020. The fermentation was insanely vigurous the first day, than the...

I'm currently watching this: http://vimeo.com/75679513 I was surprised to see around the 24 min mark, that they use the iodine test to check for conversion. I guess I always figured at that scale they would at least use a refractometer or something more scientific.

So I got about 2L of some left over 1.070 unboiled wort. I've never made a starter, but I got a Wee Heavy I've been meaning to brew just been putting it off, now that I think I have enough wort for a decent starter it seems like it's time. Just wondering how I would go about converting this...

As the title states when do hops stop growing? I live in the East Coast of Canada and didn't get my first year rhizomes into the ground until about 3 weeks ago. We had a rough winter this year and just had our last frost a couple weeks ago. I have read they will stop growing the end of June...

Just enjoyed this movie over a couple of pints, couldn't think of a better place to share it than here. Cheers :mug: x1bGPqBjtHM

So this is my second kegged brew, it has great carbonation and great head. I left it at 30 psi for 24 hours and now it's been 2 weeks at 10psi. Everything is great but there is barely a visible bubble in the beer. Even with my Sam Adams glasses with laser etched bottom (even bud light...

Wondering if the liquid version of BKF will add a protective coating over metal after rust has been removed like the powdered version does. Also if one is actually better than the other.

I finally decided to take the plunge into AG, and found I could do it with the pot I had purchased for extract and a few things I had laying around. Beer making comes almost as a necessity for me, where I live on the East Coast of Canada a 12 pack of BMC costs $25, this 5 Gal AG batch thanks to...

I just started doing AG, I only got pots big enough to boil 3-4 Gal roughly. I top up the rest of the way with tap water. Just wondering from anyone who uses this method; how much ice do you need to throw directly in boiling wort to cool it to pitching temps?

Just got my first kegerator all set up with the Perlick 630SS faucet. After I pour a beer it drips 4 to 10 times, just wondering if this is normal or not. Was expecting one or two drips.

Only used twice includes all fittings to attach to your kitchen faucet. Located in Aylesford, Nova Scotia, Canada. $60 o.b.o + shipping.

So first off I already know the obvious statement which will be: just drink the whole thing. That being, said sometimes I just don't want to drink an entire bomber bottle because I probably couldn't drive after wards. So I'm wondering has anyone just pored the normal size glass and recapped the...

This is my first year hunting and after doing some reading seen that pheasants like grains. Just wondering if there are any upland game hunters here who have tried using their spent grains to lure the birds out?
