just brewed over the weekend and everything went as hoped.. grains were not stale and mash went off without an issue.

I have some grains that I had crushed about 3-4weeks ago. They have been sitting around in a brown paper bag (what my LHBS puts everything in). Do you think they are OK?

Anyone have seasonal Saison Recipes?? I have been trying to follow the idea that a Saison is a farmhouse ale and that it should change with each season.. Spring= somewhat sweater and malty (Munich/Vienna & Crystal) Summer= crisp and light (Pilsner, Lemon & Spice) Fall= amber and fuller...

I agree.. I was hoping someone had the same setup as me and could suggest other options. I have another 7 gallon pot that I could use to capture the 2nd runnings and brew 2 beers and then combine onced cooled. Maybe this is my plan-B:tank:

I am tired of running out of my house ale and I want to start doing 10gal each time I brew it. My only problem is really at my brew pot... I use a 10gal igloo cooler which will easily handle to grain bill for 10gal (only about 17# of grain), but my pot will only hold 10gal. Any idea's from...

My brew went a little lower then I wanted.. I want to add about another 5point back to help with the mouth feel. I was wondering how much MatloDex. I would need to add to 5gal to put 5points back (go from 1010 to 1015)?? Thanks in advance for you help

starting gravity was 1078ish

I made an I-IPA just this past weekend, and in my haste I pitched 2 packet of nottingham yeast.. :0 A couple of days ago I thought my fermentation chest was going to explode..The thumping from the blow-off tube.. BUT as of today everything is dead as a doornail!! Now I know that airlock...

I want to make a 1gal batch of fruit wine and I have 4# of frozen strawberries & 2# of frozen mixed berries. Just wanted to know if anyone would have a rough estimate of the amount of sugar needed to get to about 1090is for an OG?

I have been brewing about 3yrs now and just brewed a batch within the last couple of months that needed to be dumped. I hated to do it, but there was no way I was going to drink 5gal of this swill. It was not infected or anything crazy, but rather it was just a bad combination that was not...

OK.. So I am taking it that I should expect the same level of "cloudiness" that I would see with a regular heffe?

What should I expect if I used about 40% of my grain bill as Rye Malt? Would this impart more sediment in the beer due to the amount of proteins in the Rye Malt?

I agree with others that starting the mash about 20-30 minutes before the boil ends should give you enough time. Another thought is doing an AG and a Extract. You can start the extract about 30 minutes after you AG is boiling. You can do it on a stovetop, I have done this several times when I...

I have a buddy that I used to brew with and share equipment with. As a result of a recent move this is not really a possibility for a regular brewing schedule, and therefore we now each have our own systems. Got to say we both like the freedom of not having to stress about the shared...

I am new to kegging and I am currently storing my 5#CO2 tank in my Keezer. The temp is about 42*, does this make any difference in the ability (length of time) to carb your beer?? Does storing the tank in the keezer have any negative impacts (outside of the loss of space)?

OK.. So to force carb via the liquid side I now assume I need to change the QD fittings?

OK. Any difference between GAS or LIQUID posts? They should be the same right?

I just got 4 kegs from midwest, and they all have different posts (all ball lock though). I wanted to have them all with the same post (either Corny "A" or "B" {I seem to have both}). I would like to standardize on one if I can.. If not I need to order some more parts for spares.. If I am...

BMs version.. The BeerGun is WAAAYYYY to expensive

OK.. So I have been bottling for about 3yrs now and I am moving to Kegs.. I still want to bottle some beer, but I have noticed that some of my Brew Pals beers from kegs are flat. Can I add a little corn sugar to the bottles when I bottle some beer from kegs to help with the carbing? This...
