    Adventures in 1g Raisin Wine Illustrated!

    Well sad to say I drank the last bottle a couple weeks ago.. it was palatable around 9 months but 2 years and it got really good.. I wish I had made more.

    Wyeast 2206 Bavarian Lager is so so slow...

    I always boil my starters this way now.. i put the water in teh flask and set it on the heat. Once it gets to around 150 or so i shut off the gas and mix in DME. Then i put it back on gas till it starts to boil and as long as i keep an eye on it then it doesnt boil over or anything. Keeps me...

    Wyeast 2206 Bavarian Lager is so so slow...

    The night before pitch i put the jug in the fermenter fridge (which is set for 50F).. so the starter should have been at 50 and the wort temp is holding strong at 50

    Wyeast 2206 Bavarian Lager is so so slow...

    LOL, no.. that was just to show that i made a 2 liter starter.. i didnt have a larger flask by the time i came around to putting the two smack packs in so i moved it to a thick PET 1gallon Jug.

    Wyeast 2206 Bavarian Lager is so so slow...

    I brewed an Oktoberfestbier over the weekend for our clubs quarterly brew and I decided on this yeast because my lhbs don't carry WLP833. I made a half gallon starter and put 2 packs in it which is what the Mr. Malty calculator told me. I pitched and aerated Monday morning at 6 am.. it's now...

    Problem with new Riptide Pump

    I got to use my pump for the first time yesterday and I was pretty excited about it. Overall i really liked that it was quiet and easy to clean. The only issue I had was that sometimes you could hear the motor get electric but not start. HERE IS A VIDEO That video is after I shut off the gas...

    Decline Of The "Homebrewing Lifestyle"

    I like the process control, and engineering my own equipment. I dont make many fancy beers (ex: habanero honey infused coffee porter), but I do try to make classic styles and make them well. For me the joy beyond the engineering aspect of it is the fellowship with people who share the same...

    Harbor freight brew cart- anyone using?

    I had considered one of these grooming tables but never got around to it. The ones made for bigger dogs should be sufficient to hold my tools during the day and if i flip the arm out i can move the table close to my burner and try to use it for a bag hoist.

    Malt Mill Recommendations

    My Mill Setup video.. it took me 30 seconds to chew through 11 lbs of grain. Perfect crush for me.. its an old Schmidling malt mill with a water bottle hopper.

    My DIY glycol chiller / help/suggestions

    Whats your mix ratio? 1 gallon of that to 3 gallons of water? My intent is to keep my glycol mix set to 30 deg or so and I bet that cooler will hold 8-9 gallons of water once i seal it up.

    My DIY glycol chiller / help/suggestions

    Version 2.0 of the chiller uses a free casement AC i got from a brew club guy. I tested it with water and it all worked.. it didn't let it run terribly long but once it dropped the water from 65 to 60 i shut it off and drained out the water to prevent rusting... Now i need to override the...

    My DIY glycol chiller / help/suggestions

    It runs for a minute or two then the compressor kicks on... I let it run and the compressor started getting hot but neither of the lines coming out changed temp. I pulled most of the kink out and inspected the lines and didn't see any breaks. Put the casing back on to direct the airflow and...
