    Pumpkin spice addition

    So I added the spices with five minutes left in the boil. Then I had a boil over as soon as I added it so I added another 1/4 tablespoon to try and hopefully get back to the original two tablespoons. After measuring my final gravity I snuck a quick taste and boy was it good! What are the chances...

    Pumpkin spice addition

    Plan on brewing morebeers pumpkin beer later today and the recipe says to add the pumpkin spices in the last few minutes. What would this be, last 2 10 or what? Would adding spices in the beginning and at different points throughout be of benifit? The recipe also calls for 2 tablespoons, would...

    Boston bound

    Well, we did Sam Adams and it was a pretty good tour and for free we got 7 ounce glasses filled three times. Not to shabby!

    Boston bound

    So me and SWMBO are in Boston for the week. Any recommendations for a beer/history fan to do. The obvious are already on the table- Sam Adams, concord and Lexington history sights. Any suggestions?

    All grain set up decisions

    Ok so let me get this straight. To batch spare, you simply dump/transfer all of the mashed liquids into the boil kettle at one time? This would make my concern null and void which is a good problem, I think. And the quality and efficiency of my brews won't be affected?

    All grain set up decisions

    The highest I go is around 8 for IPAs and yes it is five gallon batches. I had read in palmers book that you want around 3-4 inches of grain bed in a mash tune and with most of the brewing I would be doing I don't think I will achieve this, it will be around 2-3 inches deep. Is this a concern?

    All grain set up decisions

    As of right now I will be batch sparging but as my equipment expands I would like to fly sparg eventually.

    All grain set up decisions

    Yeah, I don't have a RIMS or HERMS so i guess I'll go with the cooler and save the aluminum pot until I can make the RIMS system. I was just wondering if one way was better or not. As far as the cooler goes, I have a 12 gallon and 8 gallon. H 12 gallon is bigger obviously but my concern is...

    All grain set up decisions

    So I had recently acquired everything I needed to upgrade to an all grain system. Then on Monday evening I found a 8 gallon morebeer better kettle on Craigslist with a high pressure burner and wort chiller for 120 dollars. Naturally, I couldn't pass this up. The kettle alone was worth it. My...

    Sanyo keggerator conversion

    So I just bought a sanyo mini fridge for 30 bucks. It is model sr-3660s and is 3.7 cf. It's a little small but will work for now. My question is that the ice tray on top is preventing me from making it a two keggerator system. Can the ice tray be removed or is this what keeps the fridge itself...

    Mini fridge vs. Chest freezer

    So I recently came across $100 and am now in the market for either a chest freezer or mini fridge. What way do you guys think I should go for my 5 gallon keging system. Pros? Cons. Best way to set either system up? Thanks in advance.

    Trimming hop offshoots

    I did I quick search and couldn't find a previous thread on this. As the hops begin to send out new offshoots, should I cut them back or let them grow like crazy and train them up the same twine as the main bine. Also, my centennial is only two feet tall while my cascades are six feet tall. The...

    attaching hops to line or stakes?

    Being new to homebrewing and growing hops, I had the same question as to starting the hops. I Was told to use a tomato cage and used it with great results. It simple to use, just push it into the ground above the bine and let the plant do the rest. When the bin is as tall as your stake just...
