    You know you're a home brewer when?

    ... On the radio commercial "Oh, Oh, O'Reilly auto parts" and all I really hear is " Oh, Oh ,Oh Really? Rhino Farts? Yeah I know... I'm weird

    Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

    #1 has to be YETI Beer, Couldn't even finish half the bottle with my brother. Disgusting Indian crap. AND I hate to say this but STONE Green Tea IPA was HORRIBLE! Tried at winter brew fest and I had to dump it, so did 2 of my 3 friends. Nasty Bile tasting IPA, YUCK

    Perlick Faucet with Flow Control?

    I have the new ones, and I still have long lines. I tried shorter lines and it still foamed too much. 3-4' = foamy 8' = perfect pour. Biggest + for me is if someone bumps the tap open and leaves it open, I lose like 6 drops instead of a whole keg. (this has happened already and saved me...

    Kirkland brand Apple juice

    I use Kirkland Apple Juice for every batch of cider I make now... It will ferment no problems. It is pasteurized - no preservative - and not from concentrate. Good stuff. I've used Kirkland, Treetop (not from concentrate) Martinelli's and San Jose Organic. Kirkland wins. Just let it ride and...

    Barleywine opinions

    I will agree and disagree with what has been said. Lots of Yeast, Nutrient and O2! I would keep the low mash temp, with 1.112OG you are going to need a hell of attenuation to get something not cloyingly sweet. IMO And keep the regular sugar if you cant get the OG with Barly alone. This...

    Brew Kettle False Bottom

    You will want one in the kettle if you use whole hops during the boil... I much prefer it to the bazooka tube. But either work fine. Useless for pellet hops.

    Uh oh!

    Wait what>? It is not enough? I am on batch 104 and use one step exclusively. I don't think I am THAT lucky. No infections.... Yeah I was right: One Step requires no rinsing and is intended as the only treatment for reasonably clean equipment before it comes into contact with your beer or...

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    FAIL, I think not. They are not the best, but they are still really good. Fezziwig vs Lattitude 48....Same... :confused: WAIT, I get it. That WAS something funny I overheard about beer.

    Water profile question

    Try using some acid malt in your recipe to lower mash PH and keep your bicarbonate level around 100. For my PA, IPA and DIPA I think I have finally nailed down that Pale ale profile that makes the Hops truly burst with flavor and not get muted or faded so quickly. My last two batches with...

    10 gallons

    Mash and sparge for 10 gallon batch, collect and split runnings and do two boils. I did last weekend. Just need another pot to hold the extra runnings. You can even use a bucket if you have to. When one boil is done, cooled and transferred; start the next boil. Will add maybe 2 hours to your day...

    White film on the side of carboy.

    Tilt the carboy 45º and bring back to level (Without sloshing). If the white "FILM" moves and starts to break up fall off the side toward the bottom, its yeast. Every one of my brews does this when it starts dropping the yeast. It catches more especially on my 6gal carboy because the "Ribs" in...

    Stuff that Costco has that I can ferment?

    Well "Recipes" would be a loose term. I've used it with the 5lb Kirkland Honey, 2lbs Blueberries and 2.5lb Strawberries - Blawberry Cyser I've done the same as above with 5lbs Sweet Cherries instead. - Cherry Cyser Honestly the best and easiest though is just: 5gal Kirkland Apple...

    Stuff that Costco has that I can ferment?

    Kirkland 100% Apple Juice NOT FROM CONCENTRATE! Makes some really GREAT Cider. I actually like it over way more expensive brands. I've made probably 30 gallons of that's stuff. Tasty and Cheap too! ~$25 for 5gallons. Also, they usually have great deals on Fruit. I buy them when its really...

    Conan Yeast Experiences

    YG001 From Yeast Geek - Purchased about 10/25 I think the only way I'd use this yeast again is if I am wanting a High FG. This yeast is just so unpredictable its not worth the headache. Batch #1 - Porter 1.054 - 1.014 Mashed 154º Ferment 63º - WIERD THIS FINISHED THE LOWEST WITH THE HIGHEST...
