I recently got my hands on an office style water cooler...the kind that you put the bottles upside down on. I wonder if there's some way I could utilize it to chill my wort. Any thoughts?

So I brewed a 5 gal Porter which checked at 7% after primary. While that was happening, I had a bunch of oak chips soaking in 16 oz of 40% whiskey. After primary was complete, I racked the Porter onto the chips AND the whiskey. How much is my final ABV? Just trying to think it through, here's...

Simple Mountain Brewing's Very Merry Choc-O-Cherry 2014

Simple Mountain Brewing. My wife and I love the Smoky Mountains and long for the simple life. That's the story and the plan.

Greetings! I'm wondering if anyone has any favorite audio or video podcasts they would recommend. I've seen almost all the BrewingTV video podcasts as well as the Basic Brewing Video podcasts. Both were helpful but I really enjoyed the BrewingTV episodes. Anyway...thanks for sharing!!

This weekend I will be doing a 2 gal BIAB Maris Otter/Cascade SMASH. Anyonewith BIAB experience or knowledge, what's the best grind for my grains in order to achieve the best efficiency? Seems like a finer grind would be better.

I'm wanting to brew up a Pale Ale with a very Earthy/Natural/Organic flavor and aroma. If you've ever walked into Earthbound Trading Company, that's what I would like this beer to wind up like. That smell and general feeling. Kindof a Patchouli/ Nag Champa kind of thing. There are several hops...

Okay, I know I'm about to get beat up...but.... Has anyone seen or heard of a clone for Redd's Strawberry Ale? My wife is not a beer person but loves this stuff. I bought her some Abita Harvest Strawberry and she said, "No! That tastes like beer!". I love Home Brewing and I do it because I...

April 17, 2014, I made a simple one gallon batch of Honey Mead with only 4 lb of honey and water. I pasteurized it at 190° for 25 minutes (no hate mail...I've learned better and will never do it again! Put the guns down!). I used a smack pack of Wyeast 1056 (for 5 gal) because that's what my...
