I think that cooking, baking and brewing go hand in hand. My wife is an excellent cook and baker. I cook , bake ,tinker (and amatuer brewer). Watching TV shows about burgers and BBQ always get me thinking. What really got me going was a show about the (alleged) first burger invented in...

The commercial grape leaves that I use are packed in a salt water solution. I am not sure if you would want to blanch them first.

After buying all the stuff I needed to start brewing for me as a Father's Day gift, my wife is now stuck with this in the dining room. A $75.00 commercial cooler with a RANCO ETC-111000 temp control....complete with a carboy of fermenting Scottish Ale!

After a somewhat slow start with re-yeastng and such, my ale is in the carboy with the temperature at 65 degrees. It has been a week today. The ale (Scottish Wee Heavy recipe) smelled good to me an is a nice color brown. There is no foam on top now and an occasional bubble forms in the...

I ended up re-yeasting on Tuesday. I used a packaged yeast that I sprinkled into the wort and gently mixed. It immediately started to work. My temperatures were still high at 76 degrees. I am finally swamp cooling and the temperature has dropped a couple degrees. I picked up a commercial...

Yesterday a friend came over and we started brewing my first ever homebrew. He has three batches under his belt. My choice is a Scottish Wee Heavy. The crew at BXBeer Depot in Lake Worth Florida got me started with everything I needed. Everything seemed to go right. We held the temperatures...

I think that I ordered everything that I need. Wish me luck.

Similar, but slightly different.

Where do I get a variable pressure relief that is suitable for brewing? i want to stay with all stainless steel if possible.

There is a side port directly below the top rim. This should keep me from drilling the top dome. The bottom is rounded like the top dome. Can you both primary and secondary ferment in the same tank by draining out the yeast from the bottom?

Martin, My wife purchased my supplies for father's day and my son delivered this to me. All I have to do is get started. Is there a way to use this tank for both primary and secondary? Have an airlock on top that could be shut off? I would still want to bottle my beer. By the way, I am...

It has a valve on the bottom. It started out a brand new never used commercial filter housing and is definately air-tight. I believe that I will use it as a fermenter.

I am new to brewing but my son gave me this tank. It was used once by a friend to make some sort of adult beverage, but I am not sure what. I am cleaning it up now. The specs are that it is about 12" in diameter and 40" tall. Heavy duty stainless steel. 20 gallon capacity. It has a side...

Loxahatchee here. Getting ready to brew my first batch. Nice to have a supplier local (Lake Worth)

I have been wanting to brew for a long time, but never had a chance. Now that I am approaching retirement age and and my taste for good beers has outgrown my budget! Time to brew what I like! My wife bought the a simple kit and ingredients for fathers day, but being me, I am already looking...
