Stepping away from New Belgium is part of the natural order. Microbrew enthusiasts support start ups, starts ups become mainstream, and microbrew enthusiasts move on. Celebrating and supporting local microbrew startups is part of the subculture. I have so many choices in my local area that I...

I was curious how the bulk discount for grain at MoreBeer scaled with purchase size. For Viking 2-row I found the following: 1 lbs @ $1.19 → 1.19 $/lbs (0% discount) 5 lbs @ $4.89 → 0.98 $/lbs (18% discount) 10 lbs @ $8.68 → 0.87 $/lbs (27% discount) 55 lbs @ $39.99 → 0.73 $/lbs (39% discount)...

I just got a grain mill recently and am ready to purchase grain in bulk from More Beer. I live in the area, so I plan to drive up late next week. I’ll likely get a 55 lbs. bag, although I haven’t decided of what yet. (Which is why I’m in this thread.) I know that a full bag provides a...

I am interested in this product at the discounted price. May I have the code as well, please?

My LHBS has a policy that if you return one of their tanks (with an adhesive label on it) and it’s expired, they will exchange it and cover the certification fee. Essentially, as long as you exchange with them, you never have to worry about expiration. To get in on this deal, you just bring...

I was brewing an IPA and California Common back to back and mixed up the yeasts. The IPA yeast was supposed to be WLP001 and the California Common was WLP810. Given that I switched the yeasts, what beers do I have now? Is the IPA a CC and the CC an IPA?

I left two all-grain brew kits in my garage for several years. My garage is not climate controlled (10-40 °C) and one of the bags in the kits was left partially open. I read online that one should chew the grain to see if it is still viable. Initially, as it’s chewed, the grain tastes...

Here’s a great Brulosophy post on the accuracy of a refractometer versus a hydrometer. As folks said in this thread, the refractometer measures sugar in water. The alcohol in the FG reading skews the results and thus requires correction. Using an online tool (a link is in the post), he was...

Yes. The details came from the Memory Alpha page on his creator, Noonian Soong here: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Noonian_Soong

Conical fermenter because racking into a secondary is not going to happen.

I believe the issue is that your beer is carbonated. As the carbon dioxide comes out of the beer, the bubbles stick to the hydrometer, lifting it out of the liquid. I bet the hydrometer would be accurate if you let the beer go flat before you took a reading.

I’ll be heading up there in a couple of weeks. I’ll be sure to inquire about clubs when I’m there. Thanks.

Thank you. I missed that.

Hello. I’m in the Dublin/Pleasanton, Livermore, Tracy, and Mountain House area. I’ve been a lurker on the forum for a long time but recently, after discovering BIAB, have I become an active brewer again. Young children necessitated a pause but now that I’m settled in a larger house with...

Your comment is incredibly insightful. You demonstrate a knowledge of law that is well beyond my understanding. I greatly appreciate your contribution, as it was very important to me to not financially harm a microbrewery nor operate in a legal grey space by purchasing a used keg for home...

Whoa! I think I bought your barley crusher earlier this evening! (It was also listed on Craig’s List.) Thank you for the great deal on the crusher. I showed it off to my wife and kids when I returned home and told them all the story of the guy who had eight (or so) batches brewing...

I found some information. It looks like creditors sold the inventory of Schubros Brewery to Rabin Worldwide, an auction house. They held an on-line auction on 17 May 2018. Interestingly, none of the keg inventory sold. Here’s a link to the old auction page...

I have confirmed that the individual was in possession of this keg when the business shut down. He did not discover the issue until trying to return the keg, finding that the relatively small brewery had shut down months prior. He cannot get it filled anywhere else, because the stainless steel...
