I've been noticing lately the efficiency of my saccharification rest has been going down, with noticeable drops in starting gravity, even after boil. I had been checking the temp of the mash, and checked it, for instance right at the end of my 60 minute mash, (11 lbs 2-row, and a couple lbs of...

I am sure this is probably the 1000th post on this topic, but seriously I'm a little confused. I suppose I should start with a little about my system. I am an all grain brewer with a 7.5 gallon turkey fryer for boil kettle, and 10 gallon gott style cooler for my mash tun. I usually do single...

So I've got my keggerator built, my 50# co2 tank filled, my fermenter bubbling. I've got 4 shanks/taps on my keggerator and planned on filling 3 corny kegs with homebrew and saving one tap for a commercial keg (sanke). I bought the coupler for the sanke keg. My questions comes to pressures. Will...

Okay, so installed with my computer was a cool aquarium screen saver... and its got some nice sound effects of a bubbling aquarium, which is like sound machine to sleep to! Got me thinking! Does anyone know of any better screensavers, or even an awesome place to find cool screen savers (it seems...

A drunken rant.. but as I entered my humble abode.. I noticed the *blub blub blub* sound that exited the cracks of my brew room. Opening the door I heard it loudly and saw indeed it was the carboy... bubbling away. Isn't that a beautiful thing? A fermenting carboy.. I liken it to a true art...

Hello there all you fellow brewers! I've got here my ready to go readiness of readying ready to brew up some nice Christmas ale. The recipe is based off of The Pols "Holiday spiced ale" recipe. I upped the 2-row malt to get a higher gravity as I want this ale to kick you in the ass. I also...

It says on the package pitch directly into wort, does this mean I do not need to rehydrate... that cant be right?

Hey, yeah I've been doing some searching online and I have yet to find a reputable "nonic" style pint glass for a reasonable price that isn't halfway around the world and have the shipping cost more than the glasses themselves. Does anyone know of a good website to find these style pint glasses.

Okay so sorry from my last brew entry that I didn't post any pictures, technical issues... mainly the fact that my buddies camera is a pile... stopped me from doing any uploading... I swear I wont have that problem again! :fro: Here's the recipe... Grain: 12 lbs American 2-row pale 1...

Hey everyone... I just went to home depot and bought one of those compressed oxygen tanks the same style as like a small propane tank or MAP gas tank.. my question is where can i find a regulator to allow me to use that tank to inject oxygen into my wort?

Yes.. of course now since I've posted in a separate thread I cannot help but posting more! :rockin: The question is about my new mash tun I built, the manifold is straight copper... and my question involves oxidation! The brewing sanitizer I use works by oxidation, it has percarbonates and...

Hello all, bout to do my second AG brew this weekend after I've finally built my new mash tun, copper with brass ball valve. And my question is about aeration. What do most of ya'll use for aerating your beer? Would a simple aquarium pump with an air stone work or what? I heard some people use...

My buddy recently just built a MLT out of PVC and I read online that the procedure to make a MLT called for CPVC, is there a problem with using PVC over CPVC or is it just a performance aspect or what? :rockin:

I guess I shoulda' done this before I posted in other forums, but I guess introductions are indeed in order. The names Joel and I've been brewin for a couple months now, just recently moved to AG brewing and I'm psyched. Brewing was an instant passion to me as soon as I picked up a hydrometer. I...
