    Two Hearted IPA

    I'm a fan of Two Hearted when I'm away from home and want a good IPA. I have brewed a couple of clone recipes in the past and they have been OK not great. a couple of months ago I discovered that Bell's has an online Homebrew store and they sell all-grain brew kits of their beers. I picked up...

    What did I cook this weekend.....

    I've been on a sous vide kick lately, so for our New Year's Day corned beef I used that method. 10 hours at 180F, sealed in a FoodSaver bag. To cut down on heat loss, I wrapped 2 folded-the-long-way bath towels around the vessel, and 4 folded-in-half dish towels on the top. To save initial...

    you can use measuring spoons to divide a yeast packet. for reference I looked at a packet of baker's yeast. net wt is 7 gm and is marked to contain 2 1/4 tsp. a brewers yeast packet is normally 11 gm. doing the arithmetic, 1/5 of a packet of brewers yeast (assuming a full packet for a 5-gal...

    I know this is a old thread, but.... Did you note what the OG was? Did you create this from a non-gluten-free recipe? if so, do you know what the adjunct grains were? thanks

    English Ales - What's your favorite recipe?

    I was just about to post the 1:1.3 ratio (by weight) after inquiring of the Google machine. I decided to check this ratio with my swimming pool chemistry pH test solution using RO water to dissolve the acid and bicarb. on hand I have crystalline (pure) citric acid and powdered bicarbonate of...

    Cheap and effective ways to store 50lb sacks of grain?

    i have used 5-gallon buckets for 20+ years with no problem. i always used the standard snap-on lids, but a couple of years ago i learned about the Gamma brand screw-on lids which are much easier to use.

    Reducing oxygen from dry hopping- add hops early or suspend above beer?

    any reason why to not use vitamin c tablets, crushed with a mortar and pestle, instead of finding a source of powdered ascorbic acid? thanks

    For Sale All-Grain Brew stuff for sale

    the high volume sellers have negotiated agreements with the shipping companies. I sell on ebay from time to time, and USPS, UPS, and FedEx all have negotiated prices with ebay. in my experience, the discounts range from low 20's to mid-40's percent. I would think that huge sellers like amazon...

    NEIPA ready? Cold crash time?

    I just started fermenting a Bell's Official Hazy (purchased from Bell's online store) yesterday. I will try the crashing before dry hopping. however, the only "cool" chamber I have is a spare fridge whose freezer is full so I don't want to turn the fridge temp up to 50F (warmer fridge=warmer...
