Uh oh!! EEK !!!!! BAIROG ! I MEANT THANKS!!! I apologize to Bairog!! I sent a thanks that I used that little red triangle and I only meant to give you a personal thanks and I reported you as spam. I don't know how to fix it, so I am sorry

I bring them closer to the woodstove, tip them to re suspend and let them rest. I appreciate all of your answers. I'll crack one in three weeks. I have another 5 gallons on the counter, same brew, better rehydration of the yeast and I used one and one half packs of yeast. That carboy had a...

I opened an IPA last night that I had bottled on Feb 20. I brought the bottles down to the cellar where it's cold, I measured the temperature of the basement today and it is currently 45 degrees F. I brought the Ale upstairs and put it in a bedroom wherein the temp is 63 degrees F. So, a...

Ebay listing for the Aussie Mill, geared and stainless, I don't have one but it was mentioned on page one...

Funny thing, last fall I was walking down the road and found none other than a stainless steel plate. It's in the basement. I'll give it a try. Thanks, Yvette

When you wake up next to your brew that's cold crashing and you have been using your auto siphon as a straw

Thanks, It's nice to be able to ask people who are experienced. There is a lot to learn and I think the better nuances take a bit. I just studied and learned about rehydrating dry yeast and now I have been rehydrating yeast the way of the experts, lol. I know I can make beer but I want to...

Is it bad to put the trub into the fermenter along with the wort? For example, emptying the entire kettle of wort? Will it give the beer off flavors? If it's a bad move, do you recommend using a secondary after the fermentation stops? The fermentation is on the downside, still bubbling. Hops...

I recently decided to really learn the right way to rehydrate. I found this link with expert advice. http://koehlerbeer.com/2008/06/07/rehydrating-dry-yeast-with-dr-clayton-cone/ Btw, on page 80/81 in the third edition of Charlie Papazian book, the complete joy of homebrewing he describes the...

I did ask and it is imported. I was told by an employee that this horizontal ribbing is superior. I wonder why other manufacturers aren't using it. No matter what, I am curious if this is a superior surface. Have you decided on another choice? I definitely am in the camp of buying the first and...

Below is a quote regarding a new type of roller grain mill being offered by Northern Brewer. It's name is Captain Crunch. Does anybody know about this type of roller mill versus the knurled rollers on the rest of the mills? Does anybody know if ribbed rollers are the way of the future? I am...

The first time I used my blichman with legs I smelled burning rubber and noticed the valve handle was melting. I shift the pot slightly off center so the valve is to the outside and have never had a reoccurrence. I would be interested in seeing a homemade heat shield on a blichman. Wind has been...

Hi, I was wondering what your opinion of the capt. Crush mill is. I had my mind made up on the JSP malt mill wth hardened rollers, adjustable and now I'm looking at this one. Thanks.

That was wonderful and I liked the photos and documentation. There's lots to learn and lots of ways to do things. Marvelous job on not wrecking the kitchen. Lol.

thanks for the info. So, as I replied above I'm going with my own mill. I decided that at least. Trying to sort through things and I see brewing as an art and a personal one at that. Options abound and I'm trying to get a good jump on avoiding the pitfalls like too small a kettle. I'm looking...

I think if north country malt is the Briess distribution point in Champlain, NY than I am reasonably close but the Merry Winemaker shop in Plattsburgh is much closer. My plan is to purchase 50 lb sacks of organic malt from her. She carries Briess malt. And Brewers Best kits. I really like to...

Thank you. I wonder if somebody could demystify one thing that I am finding perplexing. I can't seem to figure out if for example I purchased an all grain kit and the advertisement for example, dead ringer IPA, from Northern Brewer who's recipe includes 11 pounds of Rahr 2 row and 1 pound of...
