    Man, I love Apfelwein

    I'm pretty sure the original recipe is still the most popular recipe. That's the one I used.

    RO Filter and Water Analysis Questions

    Thanks Martin. I appreciate the help. I didn't realize that there was an RO water profile included in your software.

    RO Filter and Water Analysis Questions

    Martin, What would you suggest someone enter as their source water values when using an RO filter? And I'm definitely buying a TDS meter so I'll be certain that the filter is truly working

    RO Filter and Water Analysis Questions

    Hello all. So I'm close to purchasing an RO water filter system for my house. Once I purchase one and use it for the first time, should I still have my water sent out for analysis (Ward Labs) before brewing with the RO water? If not, when using Bru 'n Water or the Brewer's Friend water...

    First Keg Dry Hop Flavor/Aroma Issues

    I'm confused with what gives you that impression. Not being critical, just trying to learn. After I cleaned and sanitized the keg, I purged it with co2 and immediately filled it, closed it and purged the headspace a few times before leaving it on gas.

    First Keg Dry Hop Flavor/Aroma Issues

    Thanks for the response! They were pellet hops. If it was hop sediment, I've never seen it quite like this. I've seen hops make a beer look green-ish but this was like a white-ish, milky color.

    First Keg Dry Hop Flavor/Aroma Issues

    Hey everyone. I know there are many threads on here about hop flavor and aroma fading while in the keg. I've read a bunch of them but I can't seem to find an explanation to my recent dilemma. I recently brewed a Galaxy Smash IPA and it turned out amazing. I dry hopped with 2 ounces in the...

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    I just picked up my half hog from the butcher last night so I'm going to make some pulled pork tomorrow. I've made pulled pork a hundred times but never from an animal that was slaughtered just a few days prior. I'm interested to see the difference being it's so fresh.

    Torpedo Keg perspective

    I don't think they are any thinner than a regular Corny keg. Actually, I was just talking last night about ordering a few more of them so obviously the dents don't bother me much! Great product at a great price.

    Torpedo Keg perspective

    I now have five Torpedo kegs and I love them. My only complaint was the lack of decent packaging for shipping so all but one keg has little dents in them. Regardless, I highly recommend them.

    Anyone know what kind of plate chiller this is?

    Ok so I read that this is specifically made for a hockey box. Never seen one before. Can the be used as a wort chiller?

    Anyone know what kind of plate chiller this is?

    So a buddy of mine stopped over earlier to drop off a 2 faucet jockey box that a bar he used to work at would use when they sponsor tailgating events. Anyways, inside it was this monster plate chiller. I'm just curious what kind it is and if its anything decent. There's a stamp on top of it that...

    Keezer heater

    This is what I use in my fermentation chamber. Works beautifully. I'm going to be ordering another for my keezer since it's in my unheated garage and the outside temps have been in the single digits overnight lately. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FRFFC4W/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

    Oatmeal Stout Yooper's Oatmeal Stout

    Hello all. I've read about the slight tartness that US04 and Notty may leave behind. So my question is, would US05 be ok to use with Yooper's recipe? I'd like to brew it this weekend. Due to my work schedule, I don't think that I will have time to make a starter and a dry yeast would probably...

    Clone all grain recipe to BIAB question

    No DME needed as long as you have a big enough vessel to support the grain bill and necessary water. I recently switched from extract brewing to BIAB and I love it. And by the way, Gavin is a BIAB guru and if you stick with this style of brewing make sure to read through his posts and...

    Winesap apples

    Winesap apples are my favorite but I've never made cider using them. I bet it will be good.
