    Hop cones disappeared

    I considered that. I would hate to see the deer that could reach up to 7' +.

    Hop cones disappeared

    I have a 1st yr plant that I was excited to see had several cones forming. I've been keeping an eye out for bugs and noticed one day all the cones, and some leaves, were gone. It looks like something cut the stems. I found 5 short fat green worms I picked off and fed to the fish but the...

    Premium Pilsner hopped extract kit

    I have a Munton's Pilsner hopped extract kit and .5 oz of simcoe hop pellets lying around. Does anyone have any ideas if I could or how I could use those hops with that kit? I was thinking maybe boiling the hops in say...3 gal of water for 20-30min and adding that to the kit.

    Prago Grain Mill

    I'm looking into getting a grain mill for steeping grains, still doing extract batches. I see a lot people talk about the corona mill but I have found a Prago grain mill I can get a few bucks cheaper. Does anyone know much about these or have any comments on quality?

    Airlock question

    Sounds like your wort was warmer than your basement. When the air in the carboy cooled it shrunk creating a small vacuum in your airlock. Once fermentation gets going it will push back out. No need to worry.

    Spices in Nut Brown Ale

    I've made a nut brown ale kit from munton's that I really like but would like to change it up a bit. I've heard talk of adding spices but I'm very inexperienced in what or how much to add. Does anyone have suggestions on what might go well with it? The kit makes 6 gal.

    Coastarine's Peach Wheat

    Think I have a Brett infection with this beer in the primary. Going ahead with the fruit in the secondary. Any ideas on how it might end up tasting?

    Want to try a porter.

    I went shopping for a porter yesterday I can't find any. I first tried Wal-Mart but I didn't expect to find anything and then I went to the liquor store. Apparently nobody in Tell City drinks porters.

    IC diameter

    Ideally, you want an inch or so between the chiller tubing and the side of the kettle. I guess that's what I was wanting to know.

    IC diameter

    I have the copper tubing to make a chiller but I'm not sure what size to make the coils. Is there an optimum radius for the coils to cool the wort?

    Want to try a porter.

    I've made Munton's hopped kits of Irish Stout and Nut Brown Ale and I find both drinkable but like the Nut Brown better. I'm just looking for something close to the styles but different and thought a porter would be a good choice.

    Want to try a porter.

    I'm fairly new to the beer scene and I'm wanting to try different beer styles. I've found buffalo wild wings to be my new favorite restaurant and they have a decent beer selection. I've been wanting to try a porter idea what beer on the list is a porter just by looking at the name and nobody...

    Corona Bottles

    I've usedlots of corona bottles and some have leaked with crooked caps and some have not. Depending on the import company they have different necks. The ones that are imported by Barton Beers I have had no porblem with and I use a wing style hand capper. I'm not sure about the other importers...

    Potential Bottle Bombs?

    My hydro sample didn't taste much like anything and it was clear just like it looks now.

    Potential Bottle Bombs?

    I measure the sugar, by weight, dissolve it in a little bit of water and add it to my bottling bucket. I was going for a CO2 of about 2.5. I'm betting I topped that.
