They can put out a fair bit of smoke. However if it is really a problem you can use a fan or something to direct the smoke.

Just finished keg carbing. In a word. .. awesome.

I looked at one of those and was quite honestly ready to get one when I found the masterbuilt smoker. Nearly the same thing as far as construction goes (same size, insulated, etc) but it uses regular wood chips instead of the Bradley biscuits. Downside is that you have to add the chips...

One thing you could look at doing is adding a smoke generator such as the smoke pistol to your grill. You'll still have the problems with heat regulation, but since the smoke generator is external, you don't have to open the lid to re-supply. http://www.smokepistol.com/ If you are handy at...

Wiping your bunghole Sanitizing your bunghole I still find that thread funny. If I wasn't on my phone is post a link.

They are rough outlines of how to produce a certain food when you have never made it before. Most everything that I make has no recipe and varies a little reach time I make it. How about this: Never cook with beer or wine you wouldn't be willing to drink. Avoid cooking wines as they are...

If your recipe calls for beer or wine, ALWAYS use a beer or wine that you would be willing to drink. Don't get the cheap wine or worse yet the so called cooking wine which had a ton of salt added to it.

I always find it kind of funny that Leinenkuegels and other larger "craft" brews are always stocked with either the imports or with the other craft brews. The good news is more and more liquor stores that I have been to have had an actual craft beer section instead of just stocking them with...

I've got 5 gallons fermenting away. Should be ready to keg in a week. Now I just have to clear a keg for it. Bad news is after next week my Keezer won't have anything "ready to go" on tap. Everything will be conditioning.

If you are the handy type, you can save a lot of money by making your own mash lauter tuns, sparge arms, and the like. I also agree with the bazooka screen/ diy screen comment. A false bottom will be muchles likely to give you a head ache. It is a good idea to have a mesh bag laying...

If money is an issue, and you have a kettle large enough for full boils, look into brew in a bag (biab) Basically you put your grains in a mesh bag that goes into your kettle. Then you can get your feet wet with just a few bucks. If you can find someone to brew with, it may help. It...

Any reason to use dried peppers instead of fresh? Since you mention simmering it, it probably isn't to kill any nasties the peppers may have. I'm going to have some ghost peppers, Scotch bonnets, Trinidad scorpions and Carolina reapers in my garden this year. Not sure yet what I plan...

That is really cool. What many people don't know is that the big green egg is not the first kamado style grill. It is merely the most popular. Kamado grills have been around for a long time.

If you have a kettle large enough for full boils, all you need is a cheap strainer bag (some people use paint strainer bags) to do a brew in a bag all grain brew.

You think you have it rough, I have at least 4 different homebrew stores within a 20 minute drive. Sometimes deciding which one to go to can be killer!

Have you compared that to the big green egg? I have to wonder if the actual big green egg is worth the money or if you are merely paying for some green paint and a name.

I never made that claim either. I just think with extracts you lose the intimate knowledge of exactly what is going into your beer. Is the extract from pale malt or something else? Etc. Much like the cookie analogy above. Any option can be good, but with only one do you know exactly...

I went from extract kits to partial mash and all grain after only 2 extract kits. I felt that with the kits, I was following someone else's instructions to make beer and not really making beer myself. Granted, with the all grain batches I have done, I still have been following other...

I have mine on the outside, because it would mean the difference between 3 kegs or 4 in my keezer without a collar. I built a cabinet around it, so on one side I made a little extra open space for tanks and other stuff I might want to store with the keezer. I drilled through the lid so I...

Ok, here is a question for people familiar with pellets. My smoker has an upright chimney style cold smoker attachment that is meant to be filled with wood chips. The square tube is about 1.5 inches across and the mesh at the bottom is about half a centimeter. The mesh sits on top of the...
