I plan on brewing my first 2 lager batches this weekend. I have 2 vials of WLP yeast (Pilsner yeast and German Lager) that are past their viability date (Oct 2). I have the option of a 2 and 1 liter flask alternating time on the stirplate, or using two 1 gallon wine jugs for possibly 3 liter...

So I am doing two batches today, a honey pale and a belgian wit. Got the Honey Pale mashing, about to put together the grains for my wit and I realized I am out of coriander. I have the 2 liter starters of each yeast ready to go. What kind of beer could I expect if I brew with simple grains and...

I scored a free aluminum keg and bronco pump off a friend today. He cleaned out a storage shed and didn't know he had it. I almost passed on it since it isnt ss, but I figured I could use it as a hot liquor tank since it will only use it for water. Anything to look out for when I cut it up with...

Need your help making up my mind on this one. I already have a magic chef 7.2 CF freezer that I have yet to convert over to a 6 tap. My job has a rewards program and long story short, I can get everything from tvs to riffles to... appliances. They have the large Danby kegerator and I have the...

What sour beer style can I brew that will have the shortest wait time before it is good to go. I got a batch of morebeer's consecration kit in the works, but I know that will take some time before it is ready.

Another impulsive brew purchase that was well worth it. What experience do any of you have with the containers? Will you be able to fit more grain than the 60lb since they are designed for dogfood?

So I missed my brewday a few weeks ago and my 2 liter starter has been sitting in the fridge with a piece of foil covering the flask. I am brewing later today, should I still be ok using it?

Quick question, I am making a 2 liter starter for an Irish Red I plan to brew this weekend. I added foam control to the boil when making the starter. This will be my first starter with a stir plate and I am paranoid about leaving it on in case it foams over when I am at work. After my boil over...

Took the day off from work yesterday to brew! Got to try out my 10 gallon round cooler MLT with a B3 false bottom as well as my new barley crusher and everything was great. The day started at 8AM milling grain for the Belgian Wit and preparing all the equipment. Fast forward to 10PM. All in...

Its been 2 years since I brewed and I got back into it 2 weeks ago... 2 batches in already. Last time I brewed you could still pick up corny kegs for $35-$40. The good news is I have some hops in the ground from last time around so I will definitely make use of them again. Currently building...
