Hi Guys, I just recently brewed an all grain Belgium Golden Strong Ale and I used White Labs 570 Belgium Golden ale. I kept it in the primary for about two weeks and then racked to secondary. So I figured I would play with the yeast. I swirled the yeast and the little beer left in the bottom...

I am doing a Belgium Strong ale tomorrow and I have a few questions. The grain bill is 12.5 Belgium Pills .25 Belgium Carmel pills .25 Biscuit Does 4 gallons strike water seem about right at 152 degree for 1 hour? I am wondering how much sparge water? Maybe 5? at 170? I am...

Ok all, I am jumping back all in. I have pulled out the cooler mash tun, the 10 gallon pot and burner. I have decided to do a Honey Belgium and I am going back to all grain. This will be my third batch since a two year break from brewing. When I decided to start brewing again, 2 months ago, I...

Anyone with recipes? Is there a certain ingredient I shouldn't use? Like something that will make the beer go bad? I am planing on having at least a 6 pack in the bottles for 8 years:confused:

Hey Pez, I am about 20 minutes from you. I live in Spartanburg. I have been to Thomas Creek. Not really worth my drive. I don't know anyplace around here. I have been to the shop in Asheville when I am there, but I wouldn't drive just for that. For the money, it is best to order online. It...

You know, this just happened to me. I racked my American Wheat from the primary bucket to the secondary glass carboy yesterday. I did notice, when I pitched the yeast, (Nottingham Ale) last week, it took off in about 5 hours. I did add yeast nutrient and energizer to the wert before I pitched...

Yeah, I think I have talked my self into getting another 5 gallon carboy. So tell me, do you guys think it will be OK to keep in the primary for 2 months, or is that to long to sit on yeast, trube, etc..? What I was thinking was to primary for 2 months and then transfer to 5 gallon carboy and...

Hey guys, I am planing on doing a Barley Wine, Strong old Ale, Belgian quad, or some kind of big beer pretty soon. I am wanting to do either 4 or 5 gallons, and consume a 6 pack each year starting in 2012 and writing down tasting notes to see how the aging process is each year. I am wanting...

Hi Guys, I was wanting to experiment with an easy brew that would take 30 minutes or less. It took 28 minutes to do. Let me know what you think. Here is the recipe and instructions. Bring 2 Gallons of water to a boil Add 1 lb Briess Bavarian Wheat DME and Tbls yeast nutrient Add 1 oz...

I just found this guys website. He has lots of pictures and a hop garden. Pretty Neat. http://www.benhamilton.com/brewery/index.htm

I have watched all for videos. I wonder if he got that idea from somewhere or drew up the plans. He has got to be an engineer of some sort. All the pumps and stuff, he can control his mash temp by dialing in the temp on a button pad. Crazy...

This is by far the knarleyest homebrew set up I have ever seen. Watch is set up video, then I have his step one video. Click on the video to watch two and three. I have truly never seen anything like this. I never have even thought of this. Copy and paste this in the address bar...

Has anyone ever used one of these kits? They only make Belgium beer. Let me know any feedback Thanks
