So I'm not getting a lot of advice here. What DO I do? Wait? Dump? Just drink the 'vodka' party style?

What if I re-yeast in a seconday with just a small pitch? Will there be to much alcohol for the yeast? Could I just use a champane dry?

So I think I'm gonna do this. Pull the porter from the keg and put it back under airlock at 65-68 ddegrees. I'll let it set there for a month or two and see if it will 'degass' at all or if the yeast can clear it up. Sound good?

So here we are almost 4 mos later and the beer is good but it still taste of alcohol. Very hot. The taste is not so much upfront, but lingering and definatly in the aroma. At this point is there anything I can do? Blending etc? Do I just tie up a keg for enternity in hope or blend this with an...

So first of all let me say APAs arent my thing. But a buddy wants to come brew this weekend which means ----> :tank: Anywho APAs are his style but since he's been out of brewing for a while, he wants me to come up with a recipe. I have some 2 row on hand which i need to use up so that will make...

Nice first down on the 3yrd line...but without a Oline the ducks are in trouble...Hope they show up for the 4th...Just goes to show a team is nothing without the fat guys up front. Heres to the fat guys :)

Ok so I rent a house here while Im in college for about another 16mos. I want to be able to take my brewery with me when I move(purchase house) but for now this is what I have to work with: 160Amp Service (I think) 2 Bed 1Ba ~900SqFt 1 40amp A/C Breaker 1 40amp Breaker (not Labled) 1...

Sorry bout the sizes im fixing em now

:rockin:So as I dive into a RIMS system I thought what better time than now to start a new brewstand instead of using my dining room chairs (as I am now). I started with some 2X4's today and got most of the basic structure done. I'm waiting now until I get the pump to contine on as I want to...

I know refractometers work I was just wondering if a 20 dollar on would be good. Or if I should save up for the one at morebeer for 60. Just worried about quality and value

I know this is discussed slot but u am afraid of scorching wort with a rims sys. So I was thinking herms. But now I'm thinking it might be cheaper to jst go with the rims sys. Then I won't need another vessel right? Just a pid/ssr and a chamber (High temp PVC?) And a heat element?

now looking over things should i x the controller on the pump and just go with a pid ssr combo and a 120v element? what pid ssr combo am i looking for? http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=3...

Here is what i have come up with so far: how does this look? Pump = $140 Control Panel = $30 Discontects/ Tubing = $40 Controller = $100 Total Cost = $310

So i am looking to get into automation of my homebrew. possibly a herms system. Im looking to be able to automate my system to get consistant results of beers everytime. The downsid is I'm strapped for cash. I keep reading boards on ssr, pid, audrino boards, programing, and such but I lost touch...

Just checked airlock after an hour after taking my gravity reading. Still getting 43 bbls per minute so I'm gonna let it stay at 50 for a few more days. I'll check again sat night. Does this sound ok?

So I brewed my first lager last Sunday night. It has been fermenting for 4 days now and has gone from a SG of 1.044 to 1.020 approx 75% done by my calculations(all in primary @ 50F). Am I ready to move this into the house at around 68F until done for a diacetyl rest? or should I wait another day...

Im not familiar with using brown sugar....do you add it to the boil? primary?

Bueller?

So I just brewed my first lager and Im in the mood to be even more risky. I have recently purchased a 1G jug with a stopper and am looking to make a simple cheap batch. I have some pastuer yeast stocked up from soda making in the past. My questions are these: I need a recipe of fruit wine...
