"WHOA! this is gonna get me messed up, I shouldn't drink this whole bottle" It was a mild...

This was a topic of debate on brew strong. The lead scare was shot down an that enough for me. Keep in mind most particles drop out of solution or are consumed by yeast. I have a ton of brass fittings and some short 6 in sections of pipe from work I will e using without pickling.

Rise thread, Rise! So how are the hops growing for y'all? I live in Conway SC and want to plant some hops this year. I figure I'll have to dig out a huge area of clay and lay in some actual soil. I have a southern facing home and wanted to plant them right on the front porch columns. HOA be...

I have a 25' coil in a 5gal bucket that I fill with ice and 40* salt water I keep in the beerfridge. I gravity feed through it into my fermenter which have in an ice bath (I get all the ice from a machine at work) it enters the Carboy through and aeration tip and its typically around 68* in 15...

walmart is literally a 5 min drive up the road from me, and I like to take POWM pics while I'm there. plus they also carry some craft beers if I have no HomeBrew. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is my go to brew. I'm sure it will fuel my DIY metal mill tower. I think I am going to make it...

It's taunting me in my closet "brew me, BREW ME!!!!" http://www.walmart.com/ip/Prago-Cereal-and-Multi-Grain-Mill/14223932 Is what I am ordering site to store. Then an inventory of all the stuff I have, then a recipe to make then order, but before all of that A BUILD! I love DIY. and I do fear...

I read through this thread today, and decided to go out and order a corona mill from.... WALMART. yes they have them site to store. I was given 150#+ of grains including about 25 different specialties. I just finished and ugly tun from spare parts from work. I have some small steel salvage...

I've noticed that I can only find gluten free ales. Has anyone done a gf lager? Or did I overlook a recipe. I have a fridge that will accommodate my 2.5 gallon mr beer fermenter. Don't laugh, you'd use it too :P

Any thoughts on how the gold mesh filter such that is used in coffee filter would react with the mash and wort? I have a nice roll of the stuff someone gave me. I also have some 24"x1/2" stainless steel springs I would wrap it around for rigidity. I figure if it is in hot coffee environment it...

And I love hopville, I've found several gf recipes on there as well

The late addition was the plan, or possibly even 1.5 for 60 and .5 the last min. We had a sixer in the truck(78*) for about nine hours and then stuck it in the fridge one we reached MD from SC. The citrusy sorghum twang faded immensely. Without telling anyone else what it was and who made it, I...

I didn't get to make this one yet. I talked with the wife, and she didn't want anything that bitter, so I started her off on something that was 19ibu. It was a simple recipe 6#sorghum 1.5#honey 1oz cascade @ 60 Nottingham yeast Fermented 3weeks @68. Has the typical sorghum taste, but it's faint...

I'm familiar with biab, but I was more or less talking about coverin the manifold with a mesh bag

Whilst I sip my first mini-mashed brew I started pondering the lead to all grain. I have the coolers I can convert, most of the pieces to convert the cooler, but only a 6 gallon pot. While I was thinking whether to use the stainless steel braid and spring or create a manifold, something...

My ice is free,:D

I use a closed CFC. A 5 gallon bucket with 25' of copper tubing. I fill it with ice, dump in some salt and add water. I keep adding ice as needed, and my fermenter sits in a cooler of an ice water mixture. I use a clamp to keep the flow slow enough to make sure it's cold enough. I took 25...

Sly, I did the same thing with my almost pale ale. I posted pics under crazy krausen. It was the llalemand Nottingham yeast. Powerful little boogers they are. In the future though I was thinking of making a big beer that's gluten free.

No, I would only use dry yeast. My wife wouldn't be able to tolerate the liquid yeast I don't think. Caramel color messes with her, and I've heard you have to be pretty sensitive for that.

Wheeeeee. Mine went active five hours after pitch

For the love of healthy yeast, please post this DIY. AG setup be darned, this would be my next build.
