I use an copper immersion chiller currently and I'll keep using it until I upgrade to a system with a pump.

Sorry for the long thread! I'm currently planning on moving on to an BIAB AG setup. I've decided to figure out a parts list and price for a electric BIAB setup since I live in an apartment and can't have propane on a balcony, etc, etc. I'm basically taking lots of information from Johhnodon's...

Cary brewer here!

Looks like you have the makings of an double IPA in there! Something like: 9# Pale DME (3# up front, 6# late addition) 1# Crystal 60L 2oz each of the top 4 hops S-05 Yeast Something like that could be good :D You could also use the extra light LME with some wheat LME and make a light wheat...

In my opinion, the best HBS in the area! Plus, after picking up ingredients you can stop in for a pint of their excellent Rye IPA and Belgian Golden! :mug:

I've never done this trading thing, but I figured I'll give it a shot! I have a bottle of Westy 12 left that I can part with! I'm looking for Zombie Dust, Heady Topper, Citra DIPA, Surly Abrasive. EDIT: Westy is gone.

Liked and following!

Awesome! That'll be the burner I pick up then! Thanks for the feedback!

Hi all! I'm currently an extract brewer, but in the next couple of months (as long as my wallet can support it) I will be upgrading to a BIAB system. My setup will be a 10gal Blichmann Boilermaker BK and a custom build brew stand with hoist. SO! I'd like to start buying some things in...

What I learned when using cocoa nibs: they seem to be high in oil, but after soaking them for a week or so in alcohol (in my case, whiskey) the oil doesn't appear.

I'm going to be testing a Honey Ale recipe, but I'm trying to figure out which yeast to use. Recipe: - 6# Gold LME - 4oz Honey Malt - 8oz Cara-pils - 1oz Cascade (@60) - 0.5oz Centennial (@15) - 1# Honey (@ flame out) I'm thinking Wyeast 1056 American Ale... ?

Definitely in!

Tipsy Viking Brewery :)

I stumbled upon http://customstickermakers.com/. They make vinyl stickers and advertise that they are great for beer bottles. There's also no minimum to order. Has anybody use these guys before?

Got inspiration from several places, lots from here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f37/irish-car-bomb-stout-133375/ Anyway, here's my recipe and a few questions: 8oz Black Malt 8oz Caramel 80L 16oz Lactose (Is 16oz enough, or should I go up to 24oz?) 1oz Northern Brewer Hops @60 For...

@CBMbrewer: Bavarian Hefe sounds pretty awesome, good suggestion! @mrrshotshot: The Irish Car Bomb Stout has already been promised for a large St. Patrick's Day party. Cinnamon Oatmeal stout sounds awesome though!

I'm an extract brewer and I have several brews under my belt already, but I don't brew more than 4 to 6 times a year. This year, however, I made a resolution to brew a different style of beer every month (trying to brew to specific holidays/seasons). I need suggestions! Will you help? :)...

@snuesen: Thanks! If I were to increase the batch size to 5.5 gallons, would I need to add more honey? @WVMJ: Thank you! Does the towel over the bucket need to be sanitized? Also, don't stir for step 10, but stir for step 11?

Hi! I'm a beer brewer, but recently I've been addicted to mead, specifically off-dry meads. So now I want to make my own off-dry blackberry mead, but I'm still a bit fuzzy on the process. Can you more knowledgeable guys verify/clarify my process? Recipe: 12# wildflower honey 96oz (2 cans)...

Now that I think about it, if I taste and it's too dry after fermentation (before bottling) could I back-sweeten with a bit of honey (maybe .5lb or so)? And if I do, would I need to add something like potassium sorbate to inhibit yeast growth?
