    do you brew alone?

    I am suprised at all the solo brewers but it makes sense. Its nice making it an event and having company, but yeah we can screw thing up. I get the feeling I have passed on the knowlegde and my friends are anxious to have their own setup and their own brew time. Sad though if we don't have a...

    do you brew alone?

    Curious if most of you brew solo or have brewing buddies. How do you handle the day when all your buddies want their own rigs, do you all still brew together? Just wondering how to handle that day when everyone wants their own blichmann setup. Do you rotate? Share batches? Draw straws?

    American Amber Ale Fat Tire Clone

    Looks like it would be close with the munich in there. I haven't seen many clone recipes that call for target or goldings (I assume EKG?), but they all seem to go with NB for bittering. I haven't tried going with American ale II or California V for the yeast, might give it a little more malt...

    Received my custom bag in record time, and it fits my kettle perfectly! Can't wait to do biab once I get my hands on some yeast today. Thanks for the quick ship and order fill, way faster than expected and product looks great!

    All Grain Vs BIAB - Pro's & Con's (5 Gal Batches)

    I will just echo some others who find BIAB great for a smaller 2.5 or 3 gallon batch. I don't need to break out all the equipment, I can chill the kettle in a deep sink and wrap up the brew day, then it's transfer and pitch. I am not dragging hoses, cleaning a plate chiller, (in fl I find...

    Irish Red Ale Early Riser Irish Red Ale

    Anyone else tried this out? Looks like a great recipe for a session red.

    Florida Brew Pubs ~ Orlando Area

    My recommendations although its OBE... cask and larder = winter park, FL. Has one of the best brewers in the state for unique beers. All small batch made on the premise. Food is execellent, everything is excellent. If you don't have dinner reservations in advance for thur - sun, you...

    Frigidaire Model FRC445GB Mini-Fridge Kegerator Conversion

    I went with the front tower to save tearing out the top. Used a 2" PVC pipe as the internal conduit in the tower, fits nice against the foam. I built a tower fan, but have had no issues with foamy first pour so it's not being used. When i do use it, set the thermo warmer and expect your tower...

    didnt use enough dme in starter

    Realized I missed a zero in my metric conversion and made a starter that sat overnight on 1000ml of wort with only 10g of dme. If I step it up with the right og, can I save it or is the infection risk too great now?

    American Amber Ale Caramel Amber Ale

    Used S04 fermented around 62. Came out great, a little more malt forward but still balanced.

    Frigidaire Model FRC445GB Mini-Fridge Kegerator Conversion

    These mods have been discussed but not in detail, or shall I say spelled out for the less capable DIY. 1. Muffin fan that runs from external power source parts list and instructions. 2. Anyone put this on castors or a cradle with castors. 3. Anyone have a clever design to mount the co2...

    American Amber Ale Caramel Amber Ale

    my 10 day gravity reading was 1.020, still has a bit to go I think but tastes very clean, obviously still a little sweet, hops certainly not overpowering.
