Probably the best selection I have had at one time since I don't save and consume fresh....

I cut off the "filter" (for lack of a better term) on the bottom of the airlock. I had that clog once and pop the lid on a bucket, no problems since.

I have done 4 batches doing late addition, I tried "early addition" yesterday and I don't think I'll do it again. My biggest problem is that I have a 7 gallon kettle. 6 gallons of water and 8# of LME brings things VERY close to the top of pot, got my first boilover. The wort is also noticibly...

LME is $1.99/lb here but that's from big bulk drums.

I'm looking to make a simple pale ale. How does this recipe look to everyone? Anything you would change? Hops I have on hand: Citra, Cascade, Columbus, Nugget, Simcoe (all pellets) I just made a very hoppy beer using columbus, nugget and cascade (140ish IBU's) and now I'm looking to...

I did 2 kits and figured it would be fun to creat my own recipes. I bought 3# of pellet hops for a GREAT price from one of the site sponsors (IPA style hops) and vacuum sealed them in 2oz packs. I ended up paying $1.25/oz for bulk hops including vacuum bags where my LHBS is $2.50/oz for...

I did something similar and was in a hurry, after I brewed I ran it thru beersmith and it was 156 IBU's. I did add 1# of dextrose to up the alcohol a bit while brewing. I transfered to secondary to dry-hop and the sample tasted amazing! I hope the bitterness doesn't sneak up real bad in the...

^what he said The seals are verrrryyy easy to change. I had to buy a deep well socket for $5 and there is someone selling o-ring kits with free shipping for under $3 on ebay.

I too am an avid mtn biker and that is awesome! I'd love to have something like that...maybe a smaller chainring so I dont catch my hand on the tap next to it after I have a few! I really like it though

I'll have to get back to you on the OG, I have it at home in beersmith and I also have my hydrometer reading written down. My fermentables are as follows: I did 7# of extra light LME with 1.5# of Caramel (10L). Kicked up with 1# of dextrose. This is only my 3rd batch but I'm already...

Thanks for the suggestions! I was got in a pinch with time and didn't run the recipe through the software until after and the IBU's are through the roof! I did: 1oz Columbus @ 60 0.5oz Columbus @ 30 0.5oz Nuggest @30 1oz Nugget @ 20 1oz Cascade @ 10 0.5oz Columbus @ flameout...

I'm looking for a good IPA extract recipe using some newly purchased hops. I'm thinking 4 oz (?) during the boil and dryhopping with another 2 oz (?). I'm going to get away from the kits, I have a good LBS so I might as well use them. I'm new and not really sure if these hops will "work"...

I did my first brew about a month ago, it is now kegged and turned out pretty well. It was supposed to be a Sierra Pale clone kit but didnt come out hoppy at all, I believe it only included a couple oz of hops though. I did a full boil and followed instructions other than doing a late LME...

I brewed my first batch 2 weeks ago and broke my hydrometer after the first reading. My OG was on 1.040 (not surprising since it was an extract kit) but I'm happy to report that I hit my FG as well (1.012). Fermentation was fast and vigorous, and the airlock was done showing activity within 3...

464 One batch, one reading, and it's broken.

After missing out on a deal with (2) 5 gallon and (1) 6.5 gallon carboys all for $30 I finally scored a deal. Went to pick up an empty grill propane tank for $10. I get there after work and the guy says he can't sell it to me because he called around to make sure it was up to date and it...
