My first home brew was finally ready to drink last night. It isn't anything special, a SN pale ale extract clone. Turned out ok. I'm happy with the clarity and the carbonation after 2 weeks, should be better in another week. The taste is ok. It is definitely malt/caramel heavy, probably due to...

Of course my boil was an extract and had lots of room in the kettle. Once I switch over to all grain and have a boil with more liquid, I may have to adjust the design to have it sit higher.

I was planning on using ss rod, but I couldn't find any at Lowe's and knew I had cpvc at home. PVC is only rated for 140°. CPVC is up to 200° I used the ABS coupler (black). Its rated for use to to 176°. I figured it wasn't going to actually have any liquid running through it, so it should be...

Yes, it contained the pellets very well, almost too well. I didn't squeeze the bag after the boil but I did run my spoon down the sides of it to help it drain. There was probably 1/2 to a full quart of water in it. It was slow to drain. This was with a paint strainer bag.

Looks like another brewery is in the works for ito area. I can't find any details yet about who is starting it, but looks like Cayce is possibly involved. I know they have changed some laws and have been targeting a brewery for a while...

Greetings everyone. New brewer here. Just finished my second extract this weekend. Been gearing up since Christmas as I've wanted to get into this hobby for a while. I hopefully will be progressing from extract partial boil to full volume boils and then on to full grain. Might actually do a...

At my local beer store here in Columbia, SC, they still have 3 or 4 cases on the floor for $9.99. I go in there about once a week and they are barely moving. This store is the largest beer and wine store in SC, so they must of got a bunch in. They did get a couple of cases of each variety that...
