My wife gives me a hard time about drinking beer sometimes. She doesn't like most beer, she will drink wine and Cider sometimes. Now I don't drink a lot of beer, I rarely drink more then two pints in a day. And I never drink to excess(never get drunk). I enjoy beer for its taste. My wife...

I just read through most of the original post, Congrats, it looks like you have a recipe for success. Seeing the pics reminds me of a lot of the great brew pubs that I miss from living in Portland. I am on the east side of the state but I will have to make a trip over some time to support the...

The only Online HBS Ive heard problems with grain crush is Austin Home Brew.

Part of what determines your ending gravity is how much unfermentable sugars you have, some malt provides sugar that will not ferment, ie: crystal malts. so if you have a high % of these types of malts, then you will have a higher ending gravity and subsequently, a sweeter beer. Yeast can...

I've never heard anyone call him god, but he is a well respected resource in brewing for more then just Americans.

Here are some quotes from John Palmer's How to Brew, which is where I got my concern: 3. Pour in about 1 gallon of your strike water into the Mash Tun and stir in the crushed grain. This is the doughing-in stage. Mix the water and grist together gradually to avoid shocking the enzymes. Stir it...

Well I know its ok to aerate once its cooled off, but while its hot?

Question about that video, when he was pouring his first running into the boil pot, it was splashing in rather vigorously, would that cause hot side aeration? I was under the impression that would be detrimental? I just did my first AG and I was very worried about that kind of thing and trying...

Are you sure it stopped? Did you take hydro readings during that time? Bubbles in the airlock do not constitute fermentation or lack there of.

Hefeweizen pronunciation: How to pronounce Hefeweizen in Deutsch (German)

Someone else posted this: Green Bay Rackers--Mash Calculators It says you can do 1:1 in 4.62 gallons, so even with your false bottom you would probably be ok. You may have to do a triple sparge.

I miss the original Japanese version of Iron chef, I usually don't like the American version, I think we killed the show and make it too easy on the chef's. They should have kept the same rules as the Japanese. However this was one episode I would have really liked to have been on the panel...

Hes German.

There needs to be another option in the poll: I drink mostly store bought, but only because I don't have enough time to brew more homebrew. That would be my selection. I travel a lot right now so I am not home enough to keep homebrew in the fridge, some day though...

It sure was a lot of fun, but nerve racking. I was constantly worried about the mash holding temp. I refrained from opening it up every 5 minutes to check the temp, I only opened it once after 30 min. I made a cooler mash tun, but I noticed the top is hollow, so I put a quilt on it to help hold...

WOW thats an expensive kit.

You can buy new empties of the mini kegs on the cheap, problem is from what I have read about them, they are not ment for more then a few uses. I don't know why, maybe they just are not strong enough to stand up to the pressure over and over again? Most of the online HBS stores don't sell...

Don't use champagne yeast unless you want it to taste like wine/champagne. Use a sweet mead yeast or a Cider yeast.

I would really like to brew full time. I will probably open a restaurant in my local small town first, brew small batches and work my way up to larger batches and maybe some day move into off premises sales. It will probably be around 20 years or so though before I can do this so I hope that not...

That is what I did the search on, Apple Beer. But it just came back with posts on Cider.
