I sure did. That was the first thing I did.

I am trying to solder together my wort chiller and have encountered a problem. Not a joint one will solder solid. It is as if the solder will not flow into the joint of the elbow and the copper tube. I plumbed my bathroom fine and this didn't happen so I am at a loss as to the problem. Each...

Welcome from Lansdale.

Like many brewers I get info from as many sources as possible and take them all with a grain of salt. I read a lot about mash thickness, grain crush and it's affect on efficiency of the mash. My question is, since I can't find any information about it, how does mash thickness affect...

I must say this is one fantastic beer. It is probably at the high side of allowed IBUs but it is very drinkable and enjoyable. I found no diacetyl or "grassiness" as some have. I am hoping someone clones it as I'd like to have it on draft in my kegerator.

I wonder if I can convince SWMBO to let me get enough of this and Sumemrfest to last me through the summer? In Pa we have to buy by the case unless it is purchased at a bar. I am a pretty big fan of SN and bought a case never having tasted it. Am I glad I did. It runs just a bit over into...

Bleach works well. However, if you don't rinse it well, rinse again, and rinse one more time, it will destroy your beer. Ok, maybe destroy is harsh, but it will ruin the flavor. Don't ask how I know........ If you use it in the dishwasher run it through a full cycle with bleach and then run...

Welcome to HBT from Philadelphia via St Peters via Fenton. Nice to see people from "home"

I am assuming by the 1.070 that it will be an American IPA? If so, I would go with 2 row since MO isn't an American malt/kiln. I am a fan of keeping it regional.

Money is tight for everyone right now, including me. So in order to maximize my brewing, I am looking for 2 recipes that share as many ingredients as possible. I prefer an ale. Any suggestions?

I can't say anything bad about them. I've used them twice and have excellent luck both times.

I tried telling her that equipment up front can be fairly inexpensive, less than $100 or so depending on what you get. Ingredients, again depending on how/what you brew, can run from $25-$35 per 5 gallon batch. I think she's going to have to worry about just ingredients and leave out...

My wife is working on her masters and a required class is marketing. Not sure what that has to do with HR but hey I'm just a HS grad. She is curious what homebrewers spend (average) per year on homebrew supplies. She knows what I spend but wants to know how I compare to your average person...

I might as well give my first use experience. Whirlfloc in the last 10 minutes of the boil. 12 days in Primary. I mixed one package of Knox unflavored gelatin with 1 cup hot tap water. Nuked for about 30 seconds and stirred it up till disolved. I dumped it in the bottom of the keg while hot...

Kind of appropriate.......

They could have foregone the music and given a play by play. Course then I'd really have been screwed as I don't speak German. Unless you count bratwurst, pilsner or sauerkraut.....

Any concerns regarding either 1/16 or the 1/32 DIN or will either one work? Any opinions of hte models with the ramp / soak option? FYI I am a complete electrical stuff idiot. I know enough not to lick my fingers and try to put them in an outlet. Forks however.....

Coderage, You said you prefer Auber Instruments PID COntrollers. Which one do you have that you like so much?

I put in Jamil's Dunkelweizen recipe in Brewtarget and it is telling me that the OG, FG and ABV are high. I don't want to adjust it for fear of throwing the recipe/final product out of balance. For the users of brewtarget, have you found that it is off or a little liberal in it's calculations?
