    Terrapin Hop Karma clone....

    to dry hop or not to dryhop? Been awhile since I've had one of these but I do not recall a strong hop aroma but then again it is a "India brown ale" so unless I hear different, it gets dryhopped. Thanks Alan

    I haven't Brewed any Beer since.......

    March and my two tap kegerator is empty.:( I have no bottled homebrew either. I have been reduced to drinking expensive commercial beer.:mad: Most of this is due to laziness as my AG sessions are quite time consuming. This is truly a tragedy. Should I just immerse myself in intensive...

    Miracle grow & a few other ??

    Somebody posted on here about the great results from miracle grow. I put some on my first year plants and they seemed to respond but they are all real small. Came up a few weeks ago but seem to be growing very slow though they look healthy. I know they are developing roots and don't expect cones...

    Phat tire yeast???

    Okay I'm sure this has been talked to death but what available yeast is closest to the one New Belgium uses. To me it tastes way more neutral than any Belgian strain I've ever tasted. To me NB taste like it is fermented with a slightly fruity british ale yeast fermented on the cold side to...

    Bottle carbonation fading??

    Anybody had issues with bottles that are well carbonated at say 2 months but then have little or no head retention at say 4-5 months? THe beer still tastes fine but it would be nice if they had better carbonation/ head retention. BTW I always use the same 3/4 cup of corn sugar per 5 gallons...

    Sanyo kegerator temp problems...

    Anybody had trouble keeping their Sanyo kegerators adjusted to the right temp? On mine, 5 is not cold enough and 6 = frozen. Very frustrating. I guess i will have to use the temp regulator off my lager fridge.:mad: Regards, Alan

    Home Brew supply store potential???

    My background is in sales and not retail so i was wondering if anybody knew what kind of potential income an HBS store could produce in a medium sized town. I know there are a gazillion variables but we only have one HBS locally and they are nice guys but they don't advertise at all, are mostly...

    Sweetwater IPA.....anybody know

    what hops they use? They say they intensely dry hop it, whatever that means. It is not overly bitter but I like the hop flavor and aroma. It is citruosy like cascade but I think it is something else. Cenntenial maybe. Anybody made a good clone of this or know what they use? THanks, Al

    Copper manifold question?

    For those of you who use copper manifolds, do you solder them together or do you just piece them together for the mash and then take apart for cleaning? Also, Is there any benefit to a copper manifold over SS braid hose. The only thing I've noticed is the braid hose tends to flop around in...

    WL and Wyeast strains seem to be the same

    for the most part. Is this the case. So far I've only used a handful of different strains like WY 1056, WY 1098, WY 1214, WLP 001, WLP 004. I occasionally order new strains to try but generally use what I already have on hand. I read all the different strain reviews and I always wonder what I'm...
