Were gonna be headed out west to Oregon this month, coming from Wisconsin. Anyone have any suggestions as to what breweries to hit, or beers to seek out while I'm there? We're planning on spending a bit of time in Portland, Salem, and Eugene while were there and there's so many choices I'm a...

I just got my results back from Ward Labs. I haven't seen my local report up here so I thought I should share for any other curious brewers in the area (I think someone has a Google map or something with reports somewhere too, does anyone have a link?). I've got a few questions also for the...

So the family is gonna try something new this year and instead of gifts for Christmas, were going to take a trip somewhere. My choice will obviously be beer related. My first thought was San Fransisco to try some pliney and take a day trip up to Sierra Nevada (my dads fav). But I got to thinking...

Anyone have any tips for fitting 3/4 in copper tube into a 3/4 in garden hose? I had a bunch of 1/2 inch copper tube so I figured I would build a new CFC. Everything went great until I got to the part where my tee fitting has to go into the garden hose. They're both 3/4 so they match up in size...

I finally got my keggle ready to go and I think its time to upgrade to a counterflow. My old immersion just doesn't sit right with the addition of the dip tube (keg conversion kit from Bobby/Brewhardware) and I've got a 60 foot coil of 1/2 copper sitting around from the HD clearance sale a while...

Just had to share this one for anyone looking for a chest freezer for a ferm chamber/keezer. GE 7 cuft chest freezer is normally $229 at HD, but is on sale for $199.98 at sam's club. HD matches that price and gives you another 10% off. Ended up being 179.98. I was planning on buying it anyway...

So a while back I brewed a cream ale to try and coax my relatives over to real beer. It was my first attempt at a light adjunct loaded beer. Recipe: 70% 6row 20% flaked corn 10% flaked rice And about 17 ibu with cluster hops 60 addition and some at 10 if memory serves. S-05 yeast It fermented...

I've had this problem a least three times over the past two years and it has ruined about 5 cases of bottles so far. I soak them to clean and de label and when I go to rinse them, I discover a white film that will not come off. It's almost as if the bottles have been etched during the soak...

So I'm brewing a cream ale this weekend and I'm planning on throwing some rice hulls in for good measure. My lhbs just lowered the gap on their mill and my last batch, a pale ale, got stuck on the last half gallon or so. I've never used rice hulls before so I have no idea how much to add. Grain...

It's been sitting unused for about 3-4 years. It's a full set up (three taps, two ball locks) minus tubing and keg QDs. there's even some 4 year old stout in one keg and root beer in the other. I just want a bit of advice since I know almost nothing about kegging. I know I'm gonna have to do a...

My ground water only gets me down to the mid 70's, so I normally let the wort get the rest of the way in a sealed carboy in the cellar overnight. So when should I aerate the wort? When I put it in the cellar or the next day prior to pitching?

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this hop combo and might give me a bit of advice on my hop schedule. I'm shooting for a APA with a ton of hop flavor and aroma, and a nice smooth bitterness. I did an all Chinook IPA kit a year or so ago and really enjoyed it, but...

So my job has brought me to the little town of Chilton, WI today. Home of briess malting. It smells amazing in this town. I cant help but just stand outside and take a long deep breath and enjoy. I wish I could pick up some fresh grain and go home and brew something!

I just got my water report from the city and I'm wondering how well it's suited for brewing. I now know that I'll have to use campden tabs to remove the chloramine, but is there anything else I should worry about? I'm doing an oatmeal stout this weekend and haven't picked up the supplies yet, so...

Hey everyone. This is my first crack at formulating my own recipe and I was hoping you all might be able to give me some feedback on it. I've been reading a lot about the style for the past couple weeks so I'm hoping I've got something good here. Targets: OG-1.053, FG-1.013, IBU-32 9lbs Maris...

Alright guys and gals, we'll be headed to the Phoenix area soon and I'm looking for some pointers. I want to spend the whole week drinking stuff that I can't get back here in Wisconsin. I'm thinking about going to Four Peaks and San Tan, and grabbing random stuff from the Total Wine near the...

With a few kits under my belt, I figured it was about time to do some smash experiments to get better acquainted with some ingredients. How's this look for the first one: 14 lbs 2 row pale 3 oz chinook: 1oz @ 60 .5 oz @ 10 .5 oz @ 5 1 oz dry hop fr 7 days Mash @152 for 60 Batch sparge US-05...

I need to share this with someone and I've come to the conclusion that I need to do that here because none of my friends/family brew and they all look at me like I'm speaking gibberish when I talk about stuff like this. Like the title says, I did the NB dead ringer for my first all grain...
