A beer you just don't like? I have what you call my house beer I guess...(the one I have made the most)...it is a bock recipe. I make it two ways, as a lager and as an ale. I recently got an all grain recipe from a different HBS of the same name. Well it may have the same name but it is not...

I brewed on 1/23. Used washed 1056 in a 2L starter. Had 1.067 OG. I dry hopped mine on 2/8 and had 1.008. I'll keg it on the 13th.

I'm still on neither side of this fence as far as the health debate goes because I have no data to make a decision. So I was listening to the brew strong podcast on Metals 9-29-08. They mentioned that yeast actually removed copper from wort. There was an actual test. I wonder if the yeast...

I haven't ignored any of the advice I have gotten. But I haven't heard one person say that they used these specific rollers and they wore heavily in a short amount of time. I got alot of assumptions. Why would I not want to "waste grain" if I was not heeding the warnings? I have a big oak...

I had no idea this was such a sensitive subject. I apologize if I touched a nerve. I will post some pictures after I get it mocked up. I should have some time on Wednesday evening to get it done. I won't be able to crush any grain with it until after this weekend. I have prior engagements. I...

For the record it was never about saving money on my part...I can afford a barley crusher. I just like to make stuff..and I am not a patient waiter...as in waiting for something to arrive after I have ordered it... Ok so in the interest of science.... I am going to slap it together in a...

After some further searching on this board, I see this has come up a few times before. Has anyone actually used them? I'm not trying to fuel anyone's fire here... I noticed Yuri used aluminum rollers in his mill and another poster used "hard annodized coated" in theirs... I guess I will be the...

Well I know I can't return all this stuff...cuz I modified some and chunked the packages of others... I considered the hardness of grain vs. this roller. I also considered Hal's point of it staying in the mash if it did get that far. I will go ahead and finish it but I'm making the...

now where did I put that receipt?... Thanks for confirming my fears. I may have to eat what I have invested already and chalk it up to experience. All this because I didn't want to wait on a shipping. Thanks Darryl

So I found what I thought would make great rollers for my soon to be mill. 24 bucks at Harbor Freight. I ran a shaft through one side, acquired all the necessary bearings, and drew up my plan. Then I read on here that aluminum rollers will not last long and that I will end up...

I mashed @ 150 for 60, performed iodine test, then I ran off almost 7 gallons. probably explains why I missed the 1.074 OG on the sheet. Mine was 1.067. But it was only my third all-grain on my system. I'm still working all the bugs out.

I mash hopped mine... I brewed last weekend. I hope I was right.

ok i did it. gravity was @ 1.011 down from 1.072. Tastes kick @ss... too bad I have to wait a few more weeks for it!

im going to check the gravity.... BRB

i know the beer will be fine. I just dont want to mess with it until it's finished because if I throw in the dry hops while it's still fermenting the co2 will carry off all the aroma right?

I have had my Ruination clone in the fermenter for 11 days now (wyeast 1056) and still have airlock activity. I need to dry hop (2oz whole centennial)it. Should I go ahead and pop it open or should I wait until I have no bubbles. I don't want to waist the aroma on my fermenting cabinet... I also...

I'm out in Katy. I am not a members of any clubs. I know there is a group in Katy but I don't know anything about them. http://www.cialers.com/ I just wish there was a homebrew store open on this side of town. I hate driving through the Galleria to get to Defalco's

yeah, but we don't get to brew very often...it takes a while to acquire enough "water" for a batch. Maybe I should get more weenies?

my instruction sheet says OG 1.074 FG 1.014

Here's one of the labels I did. Have you seen my Weenah?
