I have a good solution for normal campouts involving a half size corny keg and a 10 gallon water cooler, but I need to bring a full 5 gallon batch to an event this weekend. I don't really want to invest in new stuff since this is not something I plan to do regularly. My current plan is to...

I finally decided to stop being lazy and make a starter. I had some older DME in a ziplock in my beer stuff drawer - so I boiled a cup of that in about 6 cups of water for 5 minutes... but now that it's cooling down, there are bits of floating stuff on top. I guess this is just stubborn DME...

So I'm mashing right now for a clone of Celis White using Austin Homebrew Supply's clone kit - mini mash. I just realized that it only calls for a 30 minute brew - every other beer I've done says 60 minutes. Is this a mistake? Should I do 30 minutes or 60? heelp!

I made this post for my friends on a truck board a few months ago to show how I make the beer I'm always giving away (so it's written from a "duh... now you hafta add yeast to make teh b00ze" point of view) - thought it might be of interest here. I'm still fairly new, so I'm sure my technique...

All right - I know this is totally lame compared with what you guys are doing... but I was rushed. Plus - I'm just really excited to have some real looking beer that I made, and I kind of like the spartan low-rent look :D The label says Harbinger Brewing (Just a name I made up for...

I tried yeast washing for the first time yesterday and I immediately used one of my freshly washed yeast jars to start a new brew (a Mild). I don't think I got enough cells after washing. The liquid looked like chocolate milk when I put it in the jars (I actually used Starbucks Frappuccino...

I'm brewing again :ban: - airlock bubbling happily on AHS' London Pub Ale! Sadly, I waited until my Red ran out so I'm short on things to drink (Belgian dubbel still on tap though). Anyway - to the point: It seems like a shame to just wash all this yeasty trub down the sink when I transfer...

I've been doing a ton of reading on balancing my kegging system, but I'm still having a major foam problem. Right now I'm trying to get my root beer tap squared away while I'm waiting for my honey brown to finish in the secondary. At first, I heard that I should carbonate at one pressure, and...

I hope this question hasn't been asked a million times. I'm brewing my first batch now and I'm hoping someone will answer quickly before it's ready to be cooled and put in the fermenter. I have 2 sets of instructions... The one from the homebrew store says after my wort is cooked and cooled...
