I just got done drinking an all chinook pale that I made. It was really good. I didn't do any hop additions until 35 min left in boil though to avoid that harshness you can sometimes get from chinook.

Just found this thread. I guess I'll chip in my 2 cents. According to Pro Mash I'm up to 120 gallons already! Almost every batch has been a different style (10 gallon batches). That brings us up to 14,817 gallons

I've got about 4 lbs of chinook pellets that I would like to either sell or trade for some hops. I ordered 5 lbs. from hops direct a couple months ago, turns out they sent me closer to 6 lbs. and I'm realizing that I just have way too much. They have been vaccuum sealed and in the freezer since...

Don't know if it's been mentioned here or not......but that guy in the prius admitted he was lying. As if it wasn't plainly obvious, that is if you know anything about the prius. This moron is going into bankruptcy and was just trying to make a quick buck. I guarantee that this isn't the first...

I have found that the beer can be a nice supplement to the pain meds if they aren't quite taking care of all the pain. Enjoy :)

So everybody knows, the guy in the prius here recently is completely full of crap. He said that he tried to pull the gas pedal back with his hand, but he couldn't let go of the wheel...or his phone to shut the car off????? Sounds more than a little fishy. I can't imagine puting my head under the...

nothing escapes gravity......not even the stuff that's is making your beer hazy. If you let it sit long enough undisturbed, it will eventually clear up.

I always harvest the yeast from the primary and discard the yeast from the secondary. This is mostly because I only use a secondary if I am dry hopping. That said, I still think you want to use the yeast from the primary. The yeast that is left when your beer gets to the secondary is less...

A couple of weeks in the fermenter is probably fine for most beers. Aside from the yeast eating all the sugar, there are also some bi-products produced by the yeast that the little beasts will clean up given enough time. I wouldn't go much less than two weeks in fermenter though. Some "bigger"...

my LHBS has them. I don't know what's wrong with yours??? Why don't you just take one from work?

Pretty cool, good job! I want to do something similar to my barley crusher. Where did you get the fly wheel for the mill?

i have the same mill with the big hopper. just take the handle off and hook up an old drill. works like a charm. one of the best buys ive made :)

don't really know how well it would work but they have little submersible pumps at harbor freight for like 13 bucks. if you try the solution i suggested thats about the only thing you would need in addition to what you already have. that seems like a pretty cheap solution to me. anyone else...

buy a cheap submersible pump, put it in your ice water, recirculate that through the chiller, add ice as needed.
