this is a bit unrelated to your question, but I am just curious, how are you doing all these tastings throughout the brewing process? Isn't this stuff hot? I mean, it's boiling water??

haha. i'm over in the NE, so no worries,...although I did just call your LHBS and have them ship me a bunch of simcoe, amarillo and chinook hops.

what part of PA are you located in? I wonder if my LHBS is the same one. Are these the only varieties seeing a shortage?

where did you happen to find this recipe? post it!

As a history lover (B.A. History), I find researching older beer making methods and recipes very interesting. I wish I could find more on the subject. I'd LOVE to brew a beer based on an old recipe. On my search I found the following article and thought I'd share it...

17 days, under good conditions, should be fine to move it. But honestly, to know for sure, get out your hydrometer and take a gravity reading! You absolutely CAN dry hop in your primary! It would be no different than dry hopping in your secondary, in fact. Do not dry hop while your beer is...

I am going to brew this as an homage to this now closed Brewpub! I used to drive past it all the time before I was "of-age" and never had a chance to check it out! This area needs a brewpub. I can't believe this one closed before I was even old enough to enjoy it. The name of the beer is...

It really isn't good practice to be taking the lid of your fermentation vessel to look inside. You took it off to take the pictures, but indicated in earlier posts that you took off the lid a few times to have a peek inside. I would try to avoid this in the future as much as possible. I have...

So I've been brewing for quite a while now and am currently doing all-grain. I read these forums often and it seems like many beginning homebrewers have questions about primary and secondary fermentation. I remember when I first started I was in a constant panic about how long is too long to...

wow, i do not regret finally posting on here. you guys swarmed all over this post like furious african bees! i think im ready to make the jump and actually may have found 2 refrigerators that I can get for free! someday I'd like to have enough knowledge to actually ANSWER some questions...

as far as filling the CO2 tank, how much does something like that run? I know it may vary locally, but are we talking a chunk of cash or few bucks?

well, if that's true then I am going to jump on this as soon as possible! I guess I have a work around for not having an available refrigerator too; I can leave it outside. It is definitely cold enough here for the next few months to get that beer nice and cold!

so as far as carbonating my beer while it is in the keg, would I be able to force carbonate with these set ups? or would I still have to prime it as usual?

I just need to figure out what size kegs fit in what size refrigerator. I am finding some "dorm" sized fridges on craigslist for cheap, but I have no idea what will fit inside of them. also, will kegging 3 gallons of beer in a 5 gallon keg be a problem?

Hello all! So I've been lurking here for quite some time now and decided to finally ask a question that I can't find a 100% solid answer to: I have been homebrewing for close to 4 years now, have numerous batches under my belt and am naturally sick and tired of bottling. I just can't do...
