Squeeze that baby like it owes you a $1.50. I've never had any problems squeezing , just higher efficiency. That old school science of squeezing causes tannins is out the door!

You can but its not really recommended because the orange peel can give you an off astringent taste if left in primary and if its coriander seeds your talking about they have the ability to over power if left in.

Happened to see this article as I was browsing through the news online thought it was interesting. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/17/opinion/sunday/how-beer-gave-us-civilization.html?_r=0

On my second five gallon brew I decided to measure the accuracy of my ale pail's marked volumes. I measured out one gallon into a milk jug and continued to fill and mark all the way to six gallons on my 6.5 gallon bucket. Very interesting to see the difference...

Hi im TimDuncan200021 and I'm a beer perv. Lol I am on my 3rd beer ever and my second in my new 5 gallon setup. The belgian witbier has the blowoff and is 72 hours in and the other is my belgian tripel at 7 1/2 days. I just can't help but wake up in the morning and check on them. I don't open...

What was your recipe like? Did you have any oats in it? I've read that sometimes based on the amount of oats and how they are used in the recipe that they can create a mild slimy texture.

Thank you. I have it sitting In a swamp cooler in garage right now at 66 degrees and plan on letting it start to rise in a couple days. So far no activity that I can tell but I guess that's to be expected with under pitching and longer lag time. I have heard in some belgian strings/triples of...

So after getting my taxes back the other day I went out today and bought my five gallon setup. I started with a mr beer that I got for Christmas and immediately fell in love with the hobby but knew I was going to have to expand and quick. So I bought three 6.5 gallon buckets to start my...

I just used these on my brew, they seem to have worked fine. I bought them as an impulse buy at the lhbs and threw them in. I did half my batch with 4 tablets (average carbonation) and half with 5 (high carbonation). I personally preferred the 5 tablets a little bit more but I think it depends...

My wife had gastric bypass surgery so half of a bud or coors places her firmly in bed. All alcohol goes straight to her blood stream pretty much. Needless to say recently when iI had la fin du monde and westmalle tripel night at my house she saw a light colored golden beer and downed about half...

Yes this is true. And then on the way out the door he asked if he could take a sixer home to share with the wife. I'm happy i succeeded in turning him but I will have to pay him back for making me drink the schlitz

I did not drink it out of a paper bag... That must be why it tastes so horrible but I did play some old school rap for the occasion, it added to the ambience

So I was just at a gas station with a buddy of mine, a die hard bud man, and he was picking up some his beer and I was along for the ride. My first brew just finished recently and I have been trying to get him to try it but he is dead set against it saying that nothing is better then bud. Now...

Unfortunately the most amazing beer in the world is now down to limited stock, so that means it is even more rare and more amazing! I love how a noob can make a grandiose tongue in cheek (read: drunk) comment about making the greatest beer in the world for his first brew and everyone here can...
