I though that they would want someone that had real brewing experience not just a homebrewer. My knowledge of brewing is not that extensive but I am the point where I would like advance my brewing either to be a better homebrewer or attempt to move into the professional level. I have a goal in...

I just found this today as I will killing some time before class. http://www.stonebrew.com/jobs/ Now reading this it states that you would need to have 3 to 6 months of experience in the field. Now would it be stupid to interpret this as home brewing? or actual experience in the field as a...

I do like both ideas, but my beer is kegged so I will have to bottle my next brew. Do you guys have any thoughts about the UCD program or the classes that I should take before I apply and attend the Brew program? Any other ideas on how to ask for volunteering work.

Hello fellow home brewers. First off I would like to state that I am 24 years old and about to graduate from SDSU with a History major. I have no real options for a career right know with out more schooling. I could get my teaching credentials or study my ass off and take the lsat and hope I...

Thanks for the advice oh and sorry I did blow back in and then sucked out. But was still having many problems. I will try the SS braid idea before I cut up a keg. And if you are wondering I think i get the keg legally because i work at a bar and i ask the different beer reps for stuff that I...

I have been doing all grain brewing for about 4 batches and have enjoyed the longer brew day (and more beer I drink while brewing) but still have a few questions. I made a oatmeal stout but the problem I had was the stuck sparge. I have made two but the first one I dropped on the floor so the...

Ok i called around and found some shops that fill Co2 tanks for 24 dollars for a 5 pound tank. Then I had an idea and since i work at a bar i got the number for the company that does our co2 and nitrogen. They will sell me a brand new aluminum 5 pound tank for 70 or a stainless steal 10 pound...

Hey this is a newbie question but here goes. I am attempting to build a kegerator from an old fridge. It is a standard fridge freezer not a mini fridge. I would like to have two taps on it. I have been looking online at conversion kits and it seems that for everything i need the best deal is...

Thanks guys for the responses, I think I am going to hold off on buying it. I think I just needed some time to think it over and there are a few newish ones on craigslist for around 250 so I just need to hold my horses and find a better deal. It was almost an impulse buy cause i got a nice...

so this not a good deal? I should just let this one pass and look again later. Is 9 years too old for this type of appliance? How long do chest freezers last?

Hi I have the opportunity to buy a 2001 kenmore chest freezer for 150 dollars, delivery included as i don't have a tuck. The model number is 253.10311002. I just want to know if this is a good deal as i want to control the temperature of my beer. The only reason i ask is because i was...

Hey guys I am going to build a Kegerator and I just wanted some advice. Over all I going to update my all grain technique and I also want to build a fermenting chamber with a freezer. I have read that temperature control over kegging is much better but if i build a kegerator i will shortly...

Thanks for the advice i did not add any flavors to the beer but i plan on making an american style hef next time around and adding some orange. Thanks for all the responces. I had a blow off but other than that it is almost time to put into secondary. I will let you guys know how it turns...

thanks for the responces but for the dried orange peel when would i add it? at flameout? or last 5 min boil?

Hey i have a 50 foot copper wort chiller that i made and have only used it once. But i wanted to know the best way to clean it. Is it ok to use hot water soap and a sponge to clean it and then with 30 min left in my boil just toss it in? Would this work fine or do i need to do more?

Hi I have been home brewing for a the past few months and I am looking to do two batches on Wednesday the 30th. I am planing on doing a Hefewiezen. I have only done one all grain but i did not make a yeast starter. I am planing on making a yeast starter for my next batch which will be all...
