+1 for Trumer. I remember living 1/2 mile from the brewery, good times

If you don't want to wait I wouldn't use sour batch Kidz

Doesn't directly answer your question, but most any Walmart or grocery store has a water refill machine that gives RO water for 25-40 cents a gallon Using a filter works if you like your tap water. If you live in a place with extremely hard water, like me, you'll still need a source for...

I've never done a comparison experiment, but I have made dozens of the same'ish light lager recipe using basically every malt under the sun, and my opinion is it doesn't really matter. I'm sure they taste a bit different side by side but not enough to tell from batch to batch and I have no clear...

.05 oz of hops is kind of silly. What's that, 2-3 pellets?

You didn't ask me, but I've done this a few times before my floating dip tube, and I had both success and horrible horrible clogs.

No worries about having enough viable/healthy yeast doing that? I've been thinking about doing the same but haven't gotten bold enough yet

I haven't done this so take my comment with a grain of salt. I've also read about people here doing it just like you described, but it always seemed to me if you transfer the beer on day three at let's say roughly 50-60% attenuation, you run the risk of stalling the ferment. That's why I just...

Drinking my pilsner that has sat in the same keg for about three months now - I'd say it continues to get better with age so far

Feel like the homebrew yeast market has a pretty small customer base and a lot of competition, but sad to see anyone go! I used their vermont yeast a few times thought it was great.

I've used both, and just got my wilser a few weeks ago. Its way better than the brewbag

I've been fermenting and serving from the same keg. When it kicks I take it out of the keezer and it sits in the shed until the next brewday (or day before), then I release the co2, soak it in hot water and my homemade PBW for a few hours, rinsed, sanitized, and filled with more wort. I usually...

I try to do a month a year and two days a week booze free. Sometimes I succeed

About every three beers I brew follows: German Lager, APA/IPA, Wildcard - repeat

Resurrecting this thread because I just saw this little gem on morebeer: https://www.morebeer.com/products/hand-held-beer-faucet-duotight-compatible-stem.html I just ordered two. Excitement

Wait, how is a ten gallon batch costing $45? My LHBS sells 50-55 lb sacks for $50 of some malt. Are they just super high gravity

My 2 cents, I am finishing up a berliner weisse I brewed about 4 months ago. 3.0% ABV. This was a fantastic beer. I will be using this yeast again.

It sounded like you said anyone who saves money is an alcoholic? I disagree. I won't bust out all the math right now, but if a six pack of beer costs like $11, I make my own six pack for like $2, I have a few hundred dollars in equipment, and a year or two....I'm ahead.

I legit save money brewing. I'd say the three key points are: I will constantly buy commercial beer anyway (I don't drink more cuz I brew, and I verrrry rarely buy beer now), I buy everything in bulk/re-use yeast, and I more or less use the same equipment for years and years.

Seems like a great way to make brewing beer unpleasant.
