    Tap Handles

    Shouldn't be a problem. They are relatively light and the end had a wide area to drill in.

    Is this a bad idea?

    On another sort of tangent, do you think orange peel would fit in this?

    Thanks for the advice! I would like it to be higher but I wasn't sure if it would throw something off.

    Is this a bad idea?

    So I was out at my LHBS today and I mistakenly picked up Simcoe Hops instead of Magnums. I have an ounce of Simcoe and I don't want to make the 40 minute trip again for Magnums. This is my recipe with Simcoe added: 6 lb LME Light 2 lb DME Light 1 lb Caravienne 1 oz Magnum Hops - 60 min...

    Secondary Time

    This may be a very simple question, but I am a bit unsure. How long should Secondary last? I have had mine in a week after a week of primary and there seems to be no action. How long should I wait to bottle?

    Midwest HopScare IPA

    I think I will go on your word by simply doing the base kit without additions. Do you think that I should do the 2 stage as recommended or simply do single stage?

    Midwest HopScare IPA

    Thanks for the insight, I was thinking of keeping this one in Primary because my carboy will be holding a Vanilla Stout and I wanted both to be going at the same time. When it came to the extra hops, I was looking at dry hopping with an extra 1-2 oz of cascade and amarillo mix. And for...

    Midwest HopScare IPA

    So, I will brewing the HopScare kit from Midwest in the next couple weeks and all seems pretty straight forward. But, I do have a few questions for those of you who have brewed the kit before. 1) I saw a lot of people adding hops both for the boil and dry hopping. I wanted this to be a...

    Just prepped my beans for their bourbon soak. Going to be adding these to my stout I am boiling tomorrow, the beans will hit secondary. I prefer the beans over the extract. Definitely a better taste.
