Personally, it's space. Living in an apartment right now with my girlfriend with not enough space. Hopefully in a couple years we'll be ready to buy a house and then I plan to start assembling all the right equipment.

I think the difference is that I am not touching their .rec file format. I am just parsing through the text file that the program generates to update a database with ingredients etc. I would be seriously disappinted if a Sausalito Brewing decided this was an infingement upon their product. I...

Well, I have not been very active around here lately (busy work schedule and all....) Some of you may or may not remember this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1671 I had begun discussion of creating a recipe tracking system. The premise is to allow users to either upload...

I certainly am going to try with a small one. Maybe I will do a secondary fermentation in it. Then, add a little corn sugar to condition. Do you all think this would be a good idea?

Why not use some lactose?

I found a website online that sold barrels, and explained that new barrels should be filled with water for several days to allow the wood to absorb moisture so during fermentation the barrel does not leak. I am kind of curious how this would work for fermentation/aging and contitioning. I...

American pints or English?

This is my first post in several months.... sorry for falling off the face of the earth, but I've been busy. Anyway, I am getting back into brewing again and was thinking of new things to try. Has anyone ever used a wooden barrel to ferment or age their beer in? What sort of characteristics...

Thanks! This is waht I was looking for.

Are you doing an extract only brew? Are you steeping grains too? Looks like your step 1 might need some work. If you are steeping, I suggest dropping that temp. And then you add your extracts and bring to a boil (212) and then at that point go for another 60 minutes with whatever hopping...

Thanks. That's what I thought. Know of any good resources about different sorts of sugars used in brewing?

Is it a fermentable? I am pretty sure its not, but I never remember what sugars are and what sugars are not. Thanks for the help.

I love being right!

I'm with you on this one. Barley Wine is a style, as is malt liquor. It is still beer, and DOES have hops. Now, certain breweries may make it without or use little hops, but bu definition it does not have to be that way. Technically you could classify ANY beer as being malt liquor. As the...

You sticking around? Not to make light of the situation, but got yourself enough homebrew?

Michelob and Rolling Rock both come in Pony bottles. Depending where you live, I would say just go to your local package store and see if they have any returns. This is what I would suggest, but that is because my father owns a packie in CT where they have $.05 deposits on bottles, so...

grams, celcius... I don't know what your talking about, nor do i.

Sounds good thanks. I am brewing an altbier right now, and I knoe my temp is higher than it ought to be. Not that I am trying to stay to any style guidelines, but I want to start experimenting with tweaking different parts of my process to determine their effects. Your method sounds like it...

By doing this, wouldn't the ice get the temp too cold? Do you regulate the temp of the water, or stick a thermometer into the beer?
