    Saison How Rye I Am (Rye Saison) - 2011 - 1st Place Best of Show - HBT Comp

    Had the first glass(es) of this last night... yum! It has a sweetness to it thou that I can't figure out, with such a low SG and all. It's very tasty, I was just not expecting it and doesn't understand it... Anyone with a better understanding able to explain it to me?

    Best Places to Buy Brewing Hardware?

    You ever get an answer? I sent them an inquiry on their website about a week ago asking about shipping to Spain, as well as wondering about a description of an item. Nothing yet... My issue is that I can't find stuff here in Spain. Stuff like shanks for my keezer...

    Saison How Rye I Am (Rye Saison) - 2011 - 1st Place Best of Show - HBT Comp

    Just completed brewing this, my first Saison ever. Ended up going with 20% more Pilsner malt since that's what my LHBS gave me. Cannot find rice hulls around here, so went without it. Of course it stuck, but not too bad. Flushed it with some extra hot water, re-stirred, re-vorlaufed and was off...

    Limited yeast options, should I step or try something else?

    Cheers for the replies guys. I don't reckon I have time to step up properly, what I would have to do is probably pitch the entire 2L starter into another 3L starter wort. In the end, I think I'll chalk this one up as a learning experience and hike down to the LHBS for some S-05, then chill and...

    Limited yeast options, should I step or try something else?

    So I was shooting for a double SMaSH brew weekend (1.065 IPA), brewing both Saturday and Sunday. Had everything but the malt, picked it up milled today. Was planning on doing a 2L starter, pitch 1.5L and then do another 2L starter with the remainder for the next day. I didn't consider the age...

    Considering building a tower brew stand. Thoughts?

    I'm brewing out of my apartment and while I don't have a lot of space, I could build something small on my balcony. I've researched different brew stands, and from what I can see there's three kinds: Single tier Three tiers Tree Neither really hits my sweet spot! I want to...

    CO2 regulator outlet pressure gauge not reacting to needle valve

    Thanks, but yea, I bled it almost empty before testing. Despite good advice here, I forgot to turn off the gas completely before going to bed. I only shut the valves on the regulator. This morning the tank was at 500psi. So a new regulator has been ordered with express shipping, I'll try...

    CO2 regulator outlet pressure gauge not reacting to needle valve

    Oh yeah, sorry about not mentioning that one. I was indeed referring to the smaller one on the side. The big one does absolutely nothing that I can find out (hence not mentioning it). Now I had it tightly closed, but have had it wide open before. I did however test it more throughly now. I...

    CO2 regulator outlet pressure gauge not reacting to needle valve

    Wow, cheers for all the quick replies! I'm starting to lean towards the fact that this valve is binary, despite seeing some youtube-vids of people adjusting the bubbles by it... I've turned off the valve, and manually released some pressure. Since it's the first time kegging thou, I really...

    CO2 regulator outlet pressure gauge not reacting to needle valve

    Hey brewers! I just got my first couple of brews done, and am about to keg. When I bought my cornys, they were all out on co2 regulators, but I figured that wouldn't be too hard to find. Fast forward a couple of weeks and a lot of frustration, and I've now had to settle for a regulator made...
