A co-worker mentioned to me yesterday he is pretty sure they closed. Their website no longer works and google search says closed. Anyone have an idea what happened? Was on my list to check out soon. . . guess that will not be happening.

I just brewed my first Oktoberfest start of August and I do BIAB also. I did a double decoction mash and I must say it was a lot of extra work and somewhat of a pain, but with that being said it was also really fun and I'm a fan of the process. It added about 2 hours to my brew day, but the...

Was doing some more reading last night and the taste/mouthfeel I was getting I think is definitely a hint of diacetyl. The mouthfeel is that slight tongue coating that is just the smallest amount oily. Also, some of that sweetness I think has a hint of butterscotch. So hopefully my 3 day...

do you recall the package date of the yeast?

Hi All- Was looking to learn more about the different tastes/notes I'll encounter as an Oktoberfest goes through fermentation, diacetyl rest, and lagering period. Brewed my first Oktoberfest last weekend and yesterday was day 7 and I've hit my gravity readings so started the warm up for a...

this may not even be possible, but thinking outside the box....could you cut/saw off part of the rubber bottom of the keg?

Interesting. What exactly would I do?

good to know! Ended up going with a belgian caramunich and belgian biscuit as it's what they had to get the bread notes and color I'm shooting for.

haha good call! Where abouts are you located?

doing more searching on their site.... is this caramunich, but just different brand/company? http://ebrew.com/Belgian-Dingeman-cara20-malt.html maybe I'm confused...thought I'd be looking at a german malt, but this is saying the dingeman is Belgian. First time doing a lager so lots to learn...

Hi All- Brewing my first Marzen this weekend and just realizing my homebrew shop does not have caramunich II in stock. Any suggestions to replace it? Grain Bill: doing a 2 step decoction mash Pislner -- 39.1% Munich Light -- 39.1% Vienna -- 9.2% Aromatic -- 2.3% Caramunich II -- 10.3%...

Yea I very much enjoy it. Also, can crush my grains there which is nice! Where do you usually get your stuff from?

Yes Sounds like I need to get the bigger one. Agreed that water coming out at first is quite warm! Yea there are a few different Alternative Beverage locations (Charlotte, Belmont, Mooresville) that I go to for my grains.

Oh nice so essentially you create your own whirlpool with the drill. I've got something like that so I'll have to do that as well. Is there a certain point you start using the drill? Should I have any worries of aerating the wort at a certain temp that could be harmful? Yea I'll go with the...

Yea was wonder if it was powerful enough. I'd just be running it through the 3/8 ID hose to the wort chiller. I'd put the bucket it on a table so it's even level with the brew kettle. hmmmmmmmm

hello! not to start to notice other fellow brewers in the area!

Trying to keep everything cost effective/friendly -- I think this little pump from amazon should do the trick .... what do you guys think? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EWENKXO/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Thanks!

When you recirculate the water does it stay relatively cold or does it warm up quickly? I'm in Charlotte area.

cool thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to do that!

I wish it was a big sink haha it's my kegerator/fermentation chamber
