I'd read the bag, it should list anything added to it. It is, after all, being fed to animals in our food supply. I'd personally have no problems using it. It all comes off the same fields. My dad works at an elevator so I use all kinds of "feed" grains from him. Obviously there's no...

Thanks guys, I feel a lot better now. I'll leave them and RDWHAHB.

Hi guys, This is my first year growing hops. I got two root balls from a family friend, they were two or three years old. I planted them last fall, and they were sprouting fine, 2-4” tall plus one bull shoot that was like 18" but got eaten by I suspect a skunk. My uncle gave me a pail of cow...

That was me for a year and a half. Upright fridge/freezer in the corner for kegerator/storage, storage table with shelves above and bucket storage below, and then a chest freezer ferm chamber. Top shelf of the coat closet was for bottle storage. Lots of people complain about not being able to do...

So far pretty simple, just a Lockdown Lager and Lockdown Light Lager (partigyle)

I usually shut the burner off, put the lid on, and come back the next day. I do have an IC that I built, but it's a bit of a hassle to drag out. And I just changed taps in my kitchen so now it doesn't fit.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending), we decided to get out kitchen reno done. No kitchen = no brew. We're almost there, I just have to wire in the new range hood and we're good to go for this weekend. But I've been out of homebrew for a few weeks now. Part of that is that we (my brother...

I basically tend to brew a rotation of Pilsner/Lager > English Pale/ Irish Red > American Pale > Guinness clone. The "flagship" would be my Norfolk Pilsner. Out of those styles it's the one I can use most to get people to try homebrew, and impress them since they can compare to beers they are...

I can relate with a lot of posts here. I'm admittedly a very lazy brewer. I've recently began more of an effort to write things down, I went probably a year where I didn't write down any FG/OG, or even my recipe sometimes. Mash tun gets a rinse with the hose, or if it's winter then swish of...

In theory trying to get two brews in this weekend before I go on vacation for a week. One is a Guinness clone for St. Patricks Day, one is a tweak of my pilsner recipe I'm trying to perfect for my wedding in August.

Forgot the filter tube in my cooler a couple times. That involves scooping hot mash into a bucket to get at the inside of the spigot. I've tried to do it blind with oven mitts in a garbage bag, but the wire mesh opening is too flexible, you really need to be able to see it to coax it on. The...

It was after about my third batch. I tried to make a beer with "leftovers". I think it was about 1/3 mashed grain, 1/3 malt extract, and 1/3 table sugar. Only made about 9 bottles. It was a horrible, dry cidery mess. I think I drank it all though. The only thing I dumped was an Irish Red that...

When you opt to use pasta with the Sunday stir fry instead of rice, because you didn't make it to the LHBS store on Saturday and need the rice to have enough fermentables.

That is some seriously impressive woodwork. NICE corners. The whole setup looks great. How is the handpump hooked up?

I use almost the same system, modified from I think? Biermuncher posting years ago in the "we need no stinking beer gun" thread. I have a straight rigid tube about 3/8", and a 1/2" piece of vinyl that slips over that, and also slips over the end of my Intertap taps. And a stopper on the tube...

Haven't read most of this thread, but I do think clearer labelling in restaurants wouldn't be a bad thing. I ordered what was called a Pale Ale, and got a hoppy sweet "juicy" beer that did look relatively like orange juice. Not a bad beer at all, and in plenty of other circumstances would be...

I never have good luck with my IPA's. I've tried 3 or 4 times and never really happy with them. Then again, I never bothered with much whirlpool/hopstand stuff, mostly did hops throughout the boil and dry hopping. I'm more of a fan of "older style" IPA's before the juice craze. I just buy one...

Won't know unless you try. I've been boiling 6.5 gallons to make 5.5 gallons batches on my parents electric stove, smaller apartment electric stove, the old stove that was my house when I bought it, and now my new glass top GE stove. Heating takes a bit, and it's never a hugely violent boil...
