When I started this was white with large rust spots on it. It is looking better now. More taps to follow

Yesterday I made a very simple Hef. It only has 24oz of grain and the rest extract. I did a 60 min boil. Cooled the wort to only 100. I was out of time and had to pitch at this temp. I areated it and sealed it then place it in the basement. My basement is around 64 degrees. Lat night I noticed a...

Nice, I would like to see the design of the cable or would a simple roll over cable do the trick? (for non cisco folks a rollover cable is serial on 1 end and rj45 on the other).

Welcome! I spent some time in Yakima when I was in the military at Ft. Lewis. Did 90 days out in the desert without a shower! YUCK!. Welcome aboard!

I have kegged 3 batches but only drank 1. The other 2 are still conditioning and will be ready soon. Kegging is awesome. I still use a secondary to make the beer as clear as possible. Instead of taking 2 hours to bottle it takes 15 min to keg I will post some picts of my old rusted fridge that I...

I to would also recommend that you start with your Local Home Brew Store. Thaey have great info and can answer your questions in person. I also try to show at my LHBS and the info I receive great help!

I am glad I am not the only one who thinks that beer tastes skunked!

Welcome aboard Jeff. My infection started back in November. Now I have my own kegerator and 4 kegs. Only 1 on tap at a time for now. :-(

My wife bought me my first brew bucket a 1 1/2 years ago. It was not even a complete kit it was just a fermenting bucket and the ingrediant kit. Now my operation has taken a chunk of the garage but she has yet to say one word. I find that wives tend to overlook all of the money that they spend...

I have only been brewing for about 8 months but I want to name my small operation. One of the names I came up with last night was "Flat on the Floor Brewing Company" but I feel like it is missing something. I am also a huge fan of the SAW movies and wanted to incorperate the Jigsaw puppet into...

My only order with AHS took a few days to process but I never had acurate shipping info until the day before it arrived. I am in Northern VT so it is on a truck for atleast 5 days before I get it.

Ouch I have a friend who owns a store and they refill tanks. They charge 9.50 for a fill. Best price in town!

I took a look at this and I just have one more DUMB question. Assuming my cooler it approx 2-3 ft above my boiling kettle, how it the mash drained. Will I need a pump or will gravity to the work for me? Thank you to all who have helped!

I would like one of these, the spout would be great!

I have a 10 gal Gott cooler that I have converted for mashing. I tried my first all grain 2 weeks ago and it was horrible. The grains kept clogging the stailess steel braid. So I have looked into false bottoms but I am really confused so any help would be great. I used the cooler conversion that...

Well I added the 3 lbs of DME yesterday and the yeast took off again. It looks like all is well for now. Thank you to everyone who helped!

Here is the recipie that I followed. Brewing Method: All Grain Yeast: White Labs Burton Ale Yeast Starter: 1 Liter Batch Size: 5 US Gallons Original Gravity: 1.058 Final Gravity: 1.012 Alcohol Content: 6 ABV % Total Grains: 14 lbs US Color: 10.3 Extract Efficiency: 68 % Hop IBU's...

No I want to salvage this. It is a 5 gal batch. How much DME should I boil and add? IE water and DME? It has been fermenting since Sunday and the air lock stopped this afternoon.

I have used pellet and leaf. I prefer pellet for the simple fact that I do not need to strain them before adding them to the fermenter. I always rack to secondary though it helps to keep the beer clear.
