Giving away my all grain setup. Have 3 small kids with no time to brew and we're moving so we need to downsize. I just want it to go to someone who will use it. It's been well kept. Here is the craigslist link to pictures and my contact info...

I started drinking this last weekend. Huge hop flavor and aroma, very smooth bitterness. This was a very balanced beer that I am going to add to the regular rotation. I was reading about adding all Hops with 20 min or less left, no bittering addition. It was very very smooth bitterness with...

Its hot as hell in North texas right now and I'm wanting to brew a nice citrusy APA. This is my first crack at building an APA recipe and my first time to brew this kind of beer. Here is what I've come up with so far 5.5 lbs Pale 2 row 3 lbs Maris Otter 2 lbs Munich 8 oz crystal 60 8...

made your blonde fermented with the kolsch yeast the other day. Turned out great, awesome lawnmower beer since its already hit 90 in Texas. Good job with the recipe.

I havent gotten a chance to try anything from four corners yet. I'll definitely try that, going to be hard to beat mosaic IPA from community

building a multi level brew table on sunday and took off work monday just so I could brew my first attempt at a wheat beer. Simple recipe, would love a critique. 5.5 lbs white wheat 5 lbs pale malt .5 lbs vienna bitter with halltauer to about 20 IBU's 1.053 OG, not sure what yeast I'm using...

Some of us are more lucky than others but I am just now reaping the benefits of the Dallas brew scene taking off in the last few years. I live about 40 miles north of dallas We've got Peticolas - Velvet hammer and "sit down or i'll sit you down DIPA" Community - Mosaic IPA and Minivan Wheat...

I'm going to try to make a version of this. What is the width in between your 2x4's. Thanks and good job.

As I was building my mash tun, i thought I needed something stiffer to support the braid to keep it from collapsing. I cut some slits into a 1" section of vinyl tubing and put that into the braid. Pour grain and 155 degree water on vinyl and it gets really soft. As I go to sparge, all flow...

Do you kolsch experts normally do a 90 min boil? Im using 2 row instead of pils. Im not sure if it would be worth it or not.

I'm brewing my first Kolsch (WLP 029) this weekend and had a few Questions. I'm going to ferment around 62-64 degrees. I read the earlier thread about sulfur smell/flavor in a kolsch and had some questions about aging. I'm not set up to keg yet, so I will be bottle carbonating. Should...

I beleive the problem with my braid is that my support (the tube) collapsed when it got hot. Ill either get a false bottom or put some kind of spring inside it. I added the cacl based on a calculator. My calcium and chlorides were low in my water report and it said I needed 4 grams. It never...

After about 5 extract/steeping batches, I built my mash tun from a 10 gallon HD cooler and ordered a 10 gallon aluminum pot off of Amazon. I think my first mistake was putting vinyl tubing inside the toilet braid. I cut some holes in the hose then slid it in the braid. (more on this later)...
