Actually the brewing area goes on outside in the barbecue area. We have an outdoor island with four outlets, each outlet has four slots. So I'll try your breaker idea

Oh darn...and I thought I almost had it figured out. I'm no electrical expert, so I'm not aware of how to find out which outlets are separate circuits. Does this mean I'd have to plug each one in different rooms (kitchen/living room/bathroom) to avoid tripping the circuit?

I've only got 15 amp GFCI-protected outlets in my building and the local hardware store has water heating elements that range from 1500v to 4500v. If 1500v is all that a 15 amp outlet can handle, how many heatsticks should I build if I make 5-6 gallon batches of all-grain? I saw that the...

I've got a corny keg full of Rye Pale Ale, primed with corn sugar last Thursday. This week I want to show it off to my local microbrewery but I'm sure they won't need a full keg of it so I want to put it inside a clean and sanitized soda bottle. How should I go about transferring a liter of...

Hey guys, I've got a giant obsession with beer and the homebrew fever for almost a year. Just made my second all grain batch last weekend, the tasty Octoberfast Ale that's chugging along nicely in secondary. I absorb any knowledge and tips I can find, especially from Zymurgy, BYO, my local...

Thanks for the info guys, I'll definitely try the Mild Mannered Ale next time and tell y'all how it goes. As for the recipe that bbrim offered, I do 5 gallon batches so should I just cut the grain and hop bill in half to achieve the same results?

Why is it rather difficult to find a good all-grain recipe for English Pale or Dark Mild? This month's Zymurgy has articles exclusively about the style, but most of what I see people liking are ESBs and Brown Ale when English comes to mind. I'm all for brewing an everyday session beer...

I've had a mixed experience with Sweetwater; their beers are nice but somehow I find the staff to be less than helpful with home brewers and more geared towards the frat boy persona, especially with their marketing. I promise you that there's at least half a dozen people who bring their dogs to...

It seems that my county has a ban on propane burners on and near multi-family housing, the HOA on my place has warned me of a $500 fine if I use my turkey burner again. However, the fire department says that an electric heater is allowable. I make 5 gallon batches in a 44 quart kettle; is...

Just as the wort was boiling for my Oktoberfest-style ale, I had to shut down my propane burner by order of the land lord due to county fire laws. Therefore, I was only able to put my 44 quart kettle on...get this...a propane barbecue grill. Because of this, for a straight 90 minutes I could...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if it'd be harmful to my first batch of all-grain if I accidentally siphoned the cold break as well after chilling the wort. My Terrapin Rye Ale clone has been sitting in primary for almost five days now at 68 degrees. I'm moving to secondary at the 14th day, at...

I'm from Atlanta and I've been homebrewing for almost a year now, just getting into all-grain. Hope to share and listen to advice here =)

Thanks for the info guys, luckily I've replace the rubber gas hose with a steel braid type. I'll use the aluminum flashing option, I'll let you know how it goes =)

I'm new to this forum, but have been brewing for almost a year now. I've just graduated to AG by trying out a Terrapin Rye Ale recipe, but I've had problems with my turkey fryer...the wind makes the flames sputter and I need a way to shield the burner. I was just thinking of using aluminum...
