unenforceable laws, and you have no idea how many people are in our household so you have no way to know whether we're breaking them or not. will you just help the thread and help me figure out the solution to this question rather than going off on a tangent?

20800 + 205 21,005. never posted in this thread before, but all 205 have been brewed since Jan 1st.

So let's say you have a homebrewery. A homebrewery that pumps out ~15-20 gallons a week. Lets say the house you live in is somewhat of a culmination of the party scene on your side of town. Let's say you have afterhours parties with 50-100 people. Feeding 50-100 people beer from 2AM-5AM is a...

yeah these floods are significantly higher than the floods of 93, but 93 was more widespread.

and there's my brewery. yeah, that's about 24 inches of water.

let's say i make a standard ale: 10 lbs two-row 1.5oz Hallertau @ 60 but then i used say... 1056 and 1214 yeasts... what would happen? would you get characteristics of both strains? i'm assuming this is one of those "if it worked it would have been done by now" situations, but i've never...

hey, making Bug's Rye Cream Ale, and it calls for a pound of flaked corn and flaked rye. i'm all-grain, and assume that i add these to my mash? thanks in advance, -Kelly

a few things: yes you can add it to the secondary. it will kill the head retention though. i used some crystal 60 + wheat malt in my latest choco-stout to offset it. i believe the best time is to add it to the end of the boil. i dont have a clue what type of cocoa you should use...

anyone have any idea where I could go to browse used brewing equipment. looking to purchase a 3.5bbl system in the next year or so, and i thought i'd start looking for the pieces now. any input would be very much appreciated.

that's extremely unlikely. also for future reference use sanitizer water or cheap vodka in your air bubbler i mean i guess you could use expensive vodka but then you're just being a snob :f

completely agreed. the more time i get to spend chilling with my beer (while drinking my beer) and listening to good music the better, i say

well I brewed it about 2 weeks ago. and i understand the "wait and find out" thing, but if IIRC things like phenols only get worse with age, so I'm wondering if that's the case...

so I made a light ale to test my brewery a few days ago 1oz 6.8% Challenger 10 lbs Pale US-05 yeast i drove an hour home with my freshly acquired grains, got everything set up, only to realize they weren't crushed. not wanting to crush them all by hand I looked up alternative methods...

man I have no way to get a pic:[[[ it was jamil's black forest stout, and it wasn't very good. the recipe looked great but i think my puree (bought at LHBS, the most expensive **** they had) might have been outdated. and i used hershey's cocoa powder, and after all was said and done my...

i've been having troubles with my brews lately, and I can't figure out why. the most recent problem is the head of my beer. it pours a head, but as soon as it dies down i have these much larger, oil colored, THICK bubbles just chillin there i mean these bubbles look like... a condom...

i hope you arent serious about your brew days being over if it's a blow off it's a blow off. it sucks but we've all been there. and wait you're talking about a starter?? screw it. set it in a sink covered with something and if it blows and you're that worried about it just make a new one.

all i can think of is sulfur... maybe sulfur + fusels? how long did you let it ferment and at what temperature?

hell dont listen to these guys send it over to me

With homegrown hops, my understanding is that unless you want to pay a lot of money, you look up the alpha acid range for the strain of hops that's grown, and the median is what you go by. So if a hop range is (4.4 - 6.6%), you'd assume it was 5.5%. And "6 additions" means nothin unless we...

Ugh. don't take this stuff for granted guys we don't get Stone in Iowa. in fact we don't get a LOT of beers because of the strict >6% law. i basically live on sierra nevada and homebrew.
