Also, I think Brew Your Own Beer in North Scottsdale will refill. But I highly urge you to go else where. I was in there a few years ago and the owner/guy in there treated me as if I didn't know how to loosen or tighten korny kegs valves on a unit I bought from them same day. The treads were...

Brewers connection on broadway in Tempe will also refill. 1 mile west of the 101

Ohhh man, I moved to Scottsdale Arizona a month ago and I can't find any beers out here that taste like a good 3 Floyds beer. I haven't tried their Quuanto beer though, everything they brew is fantastic.

So, I was reading an article about fly sparging. As I currently am batch sparging and wanting to get into fly sparging to increase my efficiency. But the article I was reading said that a longer fly sparge time from anywhere between 75-90 is preferred. Which is roughly 1-1.5 gallons of sparge...

This is my first glass of honey wheat blueberry beer I brewed 4 weeks ago. Pretty tasty. I brewed 5 gallons and I mashed up 5lbs of blueberries in a calendar and dropped them into the last 2 weeks of my secondary (I know, some people dont do secondaries, I've come to like it) and it came out...

So, This weekend I am brewing a batch of Honey Wheat Blueberry (grain bill below) that my cousin concocted and tastes amazing. But the original gravity will be HUGE at 1.107. So, I am looking at throwing two different yeasts at it for the high OG. Has anyone done this or do you typically use...

I am only asking if the potency of the hops is different for pellets over whole leafs.

Is a pound of pellet hops equal to a pound of leaf hops? yes or no?

How important is it to ensure no grain has gone into the boil kettle? I brewed this past weekend and I don't think I set the grain bottom very well and some grain got into my boil kettle. Could this cause tannins to be released into my wort and give me some off flavors?

Yes, I ferment around 63-64 for the first few days and then bring it up to around 70 for the remaining few weeks. I don't dry hop for close to 2.5 weeks. I am not checking for final gravity at that time, kind of assuming that after 2.5 weeks the yeast has done its thing and went dormant...

haha good question......I can't wait to hear some of the answers on this one.

So, this will be my 4th batch of beer I am brewing on Sunday morning. My last 3 have resulted in, how do I put this, Meh.....beer. I've been really lacking (pretty much nonexistent) the hoppy IPA taste in my beers. They are really sweet beers. I am going to run through my procedure the best...

I am curious. during fermentation...how many of you HBT members cover up your glass carboy to shade it from light. Which we all know, kills beer. Hince, the reason for brown beer bottles? I am brewing this weekend (STOKED) and would love to watch the process of fermentation. To watch...

I am not sure what to think of that. I usually never take the lid off my primary for a minimum of 7 days. So, I'm not sure what those white dots are. My guess would be yeast cake that may not have fallen quite yet. I am curious to hear what other, more experienced, brewers will say.

All I see is trub and cloudiness. Maybe I am missing something. I always have trub and cloudiness and my beer tastes great, so far. lol
