I have a 1946 Frigidaire that doesn't work. I'm having a hell of a time finding someone that can fix it. Edit: Can't figure out how to attach the pic as portrait instead of landscape.

I normally do a late extract addition but at about a 40%/60% ratio. I'll post recipes later. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew ,a,

I've been brewing for less than a year with mixed results. I brew both extract recipes and BIAB on an electric stove in my kitchen. Here's my dilemma: I recently brewed an extract cream ale. Pretty normal brew day. When I tried the first one after ferm, carb and conditioning, I was pleased...

I've been brewing for a couple of months now, with some success. Mainly been using kits from my LHBS or recipes from the internet. I would like to start designing my own recipes and have been researching different books. Primarily looking at "Brewing Classic Styles" and "Designing Great...

I had mentioned to my wife last October that I thought it would be fun to brew my own beer. She gave me a non-committal grunt and that seemed to be the end of it. I didn't really even think about it again. Christmas rolls around and the first gift I open is Palmer's "How to Brew." She then said...

I'm a rookie as well. I decided to join (with much urging from the wife) mainly because of the members only event at GABF. We live in the Denver area and it's impossible to get tickets. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Interesting topic. I just started brewing a couple of months ago and the first person that offered to be a taste tester was the youth pastor at my church. He also recently friended me on untappd. For about a year now, the men at my church get together once a month for a "smoke out". Our head...

46. Just started a couple of months ago and I don't know why I waited so long. Maybe because I'm a recovering BMC drinker. Anyhoo, brewed my 4th batch yesterday and have no plans on stopping any time soon.

Here's a label that my 11 year old daughter created for me.

Took another reading, same as Wednesday. Will bottle this weekend as planned and let it age. Thanks, gents.

This is going to be a long one so I can give as much detail as possible. On 1/25/14, I brewed my second batch ever, a Saison extract kit from my LHBS. Started with steeping 8 oz of Caramunich in 3 1/2 gallons of bottled artesian water. I got the water to 160 degrees, pulled it off the heat...

Thanks for the quick replies. I was a little worried after my first batch went so horribly wrong. I checked the fermenter after about 30 hours and my airlock is bubbling like crazy so I don't think the yeast got stuck on the sides.

Beginner here. I have my second batch fermenting (first batch was awful but that's a subject for a different thread) but I have a quick question. I've been doing a ton of reading on home brewing and wanted to get a little advice. After transferring to the fermenter, I've been aerating by...
