I was thinking about this not a little while ago and maybe someone can answer me this. Yeast goes through aerobic respiration when there is O2 present and they basically produce more yeast and store nutrients until you choke them off of O2 (thus the airtight seal). Once you choke off the little...

I'm getting ready for it. Sold one of my AKM-47 rifles to a friend last night for a cushion if something really good comes available for cheap.

One way to find out. Finish the process and taste it. Some brews are just more vigorous than others.

I started looking at 10's then 15's were a little more then when I decided on Blichmann I saw the 20 is only like $30 more. What the hell, lord hates a coward, I thought.

I was going to order all this stuff on the 10th but wondering if I should just wait until Black Friday. Anyone know if any supply places run any good online deals at that time? Should I wait? 1 x Plastic Fermenter (7.9 Gallon) 1 x HALLERTAU LEAF HOPS (1 oz) 2 x Beer Bottles 12 oz (case...

I figure mine with the target batch volume being 5.5 gal for example for a 5 gallon batch. I have the extra in there for what I cant get out of the boil or the fermenter due to dead space. Usually I will be right at 5 gallons bottled. Start out shooting for 70% as this is common for many home...

Made my own. 25ft 3/8 OD soft tubing for $20, $3 for a pipe bending spring, few zip ties and two quick connects for around $28. I run how wort through the coils and dunk the coil in an ice bath. But you can do whatever. Stuff I bought was cheaper locally but here is what I used...

According to the 2008 BJCP STYLE GUIDELINES 15. GERMAN WHEAT AND RYE BEER 15A. Weizen/Weissbier Aroma: Moderate to strong phenols (usually clove) and fruity esters (usually banana). The balance and intensity of the phenol and ester components can vary but the best examples are reasonably...

I remember when I was a kid seeing this clip in the 79's by and it inspired a line of t-shirts that we could typically find at tourist spots. I had one in high school in the late 80's early 90's. Even had it with me in Germany and they thought it was hysterical. I'm now looking to try and find a...

Didn't take long to decide on what to do with it. 20minutes with a dremel and 1/2in drill bit and it's done. Ran a heat loss check and no noticable difference in heat loss from results before (1C) drop.

+1, Exactly! It's called "Identity Branding", trying to deliver a little better product and service than the competition. Look at the founder of Sam Adams. The guy obviously loves beer and it was one of the huge selling points, not just that they had good beer, they cared about their beer and...

Just got off the horn with Northern Brewer. Told them If they just wanted to bill be the $8 plus ship on the DVD and let me keep the thermometer that would be fine with me rather than having to deal with shipping it back. That was fine by them. So, not a bad deal overall, instead of a free $8...

Just got my order from an online company for a cooler bulkhead valve assy and was disappointed when I saw my free DVD was not in the box. Wait, there is a little box in there. Open it up and it's a Blichmann Engineering BrewMometer that I did not order or get billed for! I was actually thinking...

The original recipe staid leave it to ferment for at least a month. Any longer is up to you. I would probably bottle it and set it aside until you hit that 6 month mark and get back to brewing in the meantime.

When I was stationed in Germany the Brits would poke fun at us saying how American beer was like sex in a canoe- They are both ****ing close to water. I'd have to agree. What many people don't know is the beer history of this country prior to prohibition and WWII. Many of the rice style beers...

Of course. The Brazillian is using an aggressive business model of the 80's (watch Wallstreet to jar your memory of hostile takeovers during the 80's). Aquire cheap, gut the company and sell off. They make much more money that way. The beneficiaries will be the companies who don't gain much...
