I'm a photographer looking for any passionate homebrewers in the Boston Area who would want to get together and do some brewdrinking / don't mind getting black/white photos of them taken through the process! Interested in your stories and what you think about brewing! Let me know through PM!

Hello folks, I'm looking to see if any of you here know any really good books / articles that discuss contemporary brewing and it's progression. Not so much on the technical side like Palmer's book but more on the theory behind it. Any help would be amazing, thank you!

Hello everyone, If you're a home brewer or have inside access to a micro and/or nano brewery around the Boston area, I would love to meet with you. I am a photographer shooting a documentary on the individuals who have decided to pursue home brewing as an art, maybe even a way of life. This...

I work as a Photographer/DP/Videographer here in Boston and wanted to know if any fellow brewers share a similar passion. A few days ago I watched the Brooklyn Brewery video about their brewmaster and how he was once an aspiring film maker. I guess the addiction was too strong for him :P I would...

Hello friends, I just made my copper manifold but accidentally started making a few slits on the top of it. I realized the mistake and immediately stopped. Since everything is flat and square except the copper piece that connects to the ball--valve, would it be possible to re-heat that piece...

Hello friends, Just posting to get some input / to show anyone out there they can get the basic essentials for all-grain homebrewing for around $120 (i understand this changes depending on location and that there is still some equipment missing) I just started all-grain and wanted to ease into...

Hello! I have an opportunity to buy a large 10 gallon kettle for cheap but the only trade off is that the bottom of it has some scratches / dings. I'm using it for allgrain and would like to know if these would dramatically affect my wort while boiling / could it infect the beer in some way...

Hello friends, Just bottled 5 gallons of some strong 8% Imperial Pale Ale. What point in time after bottling do you know you wont get bottle bombs?

Self explanatory..... Left on normal occasions. Right when **** gets serious...

Hello friends, Like many of you here, I'm a first time brewer. In order to properly celebrate my first bottling, I decided I was going to make some custom caps! After looking through several custom cap sites, I decided I was going find something affordable. Though you may think caps are...

Hello friends and family, So about two weeks ago I put my Imperial Pale Ale to ferment. Because it was the first brew I've ever made, I decided to check out what was going on inside the white bucket. I understand that normal fermentation is approx. 3 weeks, but because I'm curious and wanted...

So my next recipe is an extract batch of Brewers Best: Milk Stout. I'm going to follow the recipe as described by the company / Palmer's important suggestions. I wanted to know if there's anything I should potentially worry about when brewing the Stout or additions that would increase its...

Hello to everyone, About a week ago I started fermenting my Imperial Pale Ale (8%abv). After much reading of the forum and "How To Brew" I realized there were a lot of things I didn't do right, naturally. The first was my lack of aeration during the transferring, which I know is crucial for...

Hello my new friends, So my first batch ever of Imperial Pale Ale is in the primary and I can't help but think of my next recipe. Given that there exists over millions of beer recipes in books and random web pages, I thought asking you guys would be funner. It's also a way of customizing a...

Hello my fellow brewers, I've made this label for a batch of Imperial Pale Ale that is currently in primary. I plan on having it placed on approximately 50 12oz. bottles. I need input as to how to add the title. I plan on using the space on the right hand side but just cant figure out the...

So I guess this isn't the most interesting picture...lol Yet because it's the first time i'm doing it for my first batch (5 gallons of Imperial Pale Ale) I thought it was worth sharing! FYI - The photo is hazy because I used steaming water with some detergent.

I've been looking around the science section (along with the rest of the site) for general ideas concerning water profiling. The reason being that within the next year or so I may be living in a house (Western Mass.) that uses the river in the backyard as a secondary(maybe first) water supply...

How's everyone doing? Wanted to introduce myself to the crew :) Just started my first brew 4 days ago (Imperial Pale Ale) and can't wait to pop my home-brew cherry! Vulgar, but true... Anyways, I'll be posting some pictures up of the brewing process in the near future / briefly describe...
