So I brewed a chocolate milk stout yesterday. My counterflow chiller didn't get it down to temperature because we're in the middle of a heatwave were I'm at so I decided to let it sit in my fermenting fridge to drop it the rest of the way before pitching yeast. I of course sterilized my carboy...

Hello All, I'm currently covering my current all grain set up to a manual HERMS system. My question is about fly sparging with the HERMS recirculation. I all ready have a fly sparge ring that usually hangs between 5-10 inches (depending on batch size) above the grain bed. Is it okay to keep...

I've read many thoughts on this, but I'd like to hear some personal thoughts and experiences. Can/Should/Have you fermented a sour beer (in glass) in a chest freezer next to clean beer? Have you had an issues fermenting clean beer in a chest freezer that you previously fermented a sour...

I'm sure if you clicked on this topic you already know what I'm talking about, but just in case there it is. My question...

Alright everybody; so I'm in the process of rebuilding my brew system and I've been thinking of ways of making things as simple and self contained as possible. I've been seeing a lot of info recently on people recirculating their chiller water with a simple water pump to save water. I love the...

so I've had this problem with the last few beers I've made, I know it's my own fault for over yeasting, but I'm trying to solution to the problem/mistake. Does anyone know of a good, unfermentable sugar/sweetener that can add some sweetness to the finished beer, or a good way to keep the yeast...

So I wanted to try out some recipes from "Extreme Brewing." Most of the recipes are for extract brews but I prefer to do all-grain. I was wondering if anyone has some good, or standard conversion for calculating how much grain to use, and of what, to replace the extract used in the recipe. Right...
