I just spoke with the local Homebrew shop and they recommended a different gas supplier. They haven’t heard of any new regulations, but have heard of issues with my first choice in suppliers. It appears as though some suppliers have different internal regulations or policies. Very glad I...

Has anyone had a problem filling a Nitro/co2 bottle lately? We moved to Alaska and I have a nitro system in my beer frig. I ran out of beer gas so went to the local gas store and was told they couldn't exchange or fill my bottle due to some new (about a year ago) regulations with dispensing...

I was thinking of brewing a version of this because I don't have any chinook hops. Looking on a hop substitute chart, columbus is a possible substitute. Does anyone have any thoughts on this (good/bad)?

Thanks for the recommendations. I will get a sample of water and send it away.

I used gelatin to clear it and I did lager it for about 4 weeks. I would bet the water chemistry might be the issue. I have tried to look up the water info but I just don't understand what it tells me. I guess I need to get the water book.

Entered a Kolsch style beer in a contest and when I got the score sheets back both said there was a chalkiness to the beer. The only water additive that I used was 1 camp den tablet in a 12 gal batch. Could that have been what they could taste? What other sorts of things can cause this. I can...

Yeah I I figured I under pitched a bit in the first place but was really concerned with the lost yeast. "Reasonable" time was the next morning FYI.

Just made a rye pale ale all grain and a 12 gal into fermenter. I used WLP001 with a 1700ml starter. I don't live where I can get the yeast last minute (Mail order only option). My starter REALLY took off durning the night and I found only 1300ml left and yeast all over the counter. I...

+1 for what Phelan said... Not the dog thing though. I haven't had that happen yet.

I love the Sumpn' Sumpn'! What percentage of rye would you guys say is an amount that would be "just detectable"? Looking to make and Irish Red that is a one off sort of thing and what just an ever so slight hint of rye.

+1 for go big. It is more work than extract but 10 gals is not much more time or work than 5 gals.

I get the impression that you do extract beer as well. I know for me I rarely took OG readings because I felt like there was nothing I could do about it anyway. It was a hard habit to break when I switched to AG. It is what it is. Is the beer "functional"? Meaning if you drink 3-4 beers does...
