Ultimately it'll be a 3 tier with pumps and all.

Fellow Brewers, I’ve been brewing for a year now and I’m ready to take this to the “All-Grain” level. I want to discuss equipment get some ideas as far what was your experience, what tips you may have, etc. While I am a huge fan of the full electric brewing system, I not a fan of the...

Urguell has the flavor I was trying to reproduce and imagine the original recipe is locked behind thick concrete walls so what is available is probably a reversed engineered guess. Anyway while mine came out good, it lack the bitter taste that I was after.

As I already mentioned, this was supposed to be a different topic. Anyway, the recipe was for a Czech pilsner that a local store put together. I showed them th BYO recipe for Pilsner Urquell and was told I can't steep some of the grains so they improvised.

No, this was supposed to be a different post but somehow it ended up piggybacked here. I brewed this one a while back it was lagerring in a fridge for about 5 weeks. Sory for the confusion.

It came out really good, I thought except that didn't have much hoppy taste or aroma. I used Magnum 1 oz. @60, Saaz 1 oz. @15 and @0. What do I need to do to increase the hoppyness? I understand there are ways to quantify that, but would know how? So basically I 'm looking for mild to medium...

Thank you for all your valuable input!!!

Greetings fellow brewers, Two questions: 1. Just watched a Mini-Mash video and the host suggested to place the stainless steel pot with grain in the nylon bag into an oven on warm setting which he said was about 150 deg. F. Wouldn't the nylon bag melt? 2. When sparging, most videos...

Brewed a partial mash Toad Spit Stout from Joy Of Home Brewing. Had the OG of 1.070 so "stepped" up my yeast using a stir plate method. After 17 days it still bubbling (constant frothy bubbles) in the primary. I never had my batch fermenting this long, although this was the first time using a...

Risho is Rick in Slovak; now very unique but it's who I am. Although now my given name just a nick name.

I use 750ml/25.4 oz. bottles - Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Cider. It comes in a 4 pack at Costco.

Greetings and Salutations! I saved the dormant yeast from my recent brewing adventures and wanted to your opinion if I can reuse it. One such specimen has been in a fridge 4/27-2015 (today is 5/18) and looks like the first photo. There isn't much separation. Below is the one I...

Had a busy brewing weekend and questions came up and discovered that I had an "extra" 1 oz. package of Saaz left in the freezer. I must have not used the prescribed amount when I brewed a California Common so I was wondering can I dry hop it in secondary? And if I do, for how long what temp? I...

Greetings! I bottled my first lager yesterday. It has been in the secondary in the fridge for 5 weeks at about high 30 F. Should I keep it in the room temperature in a dark for some time and how long or should it go back to fridge for how long. Thanks!

You can dedicate your next batch to commemorate the experience and call it "Driveway Pilsner" What a story mate!

This is my sixth batch and I've not had this much Kreusen before. I set up a blow off tube with my very first batch as one particular video suggested but there was always ample space in the carboy. Much thanks!

Greetings! I brewed an extract Irish Stout using Charlie Papazian's Toad Spit Stout recipe except that my local store did not have particular LME/DME. So the store guru recommended 9 lb Breiss Dark LME in total so the complete recipe was like this: 9# Dark LME 3/4# Chrystal malt #80 1/3#...

Thanks for your replies. So I put another bottle in a fridge for a little while before I pored it and performed my "patented" empty stomach test and have to conclude that I must have measured the FG incorrectly. Other than a rather full taste still on sweeter end it's drinkable. :rockin: Cheers!

10 days in the fermenter, but there wasn't much activity after about 5 days.

I brewed an extract recipe of a dark beer recently as one of my first attempts to follow a recipe from a book. All my prior attempts were (2 in total) were from a purchased kit. So this one was calling a Wyeast 2006 Bavarian, my OG was 1.032 but because for lack of knowledge I only used one...
