I have submersible pump that I'm putting in a bucket of PBW or Beer Line cleaner or starsan or just water. Then I have CIP Ball that I'll attach to a 1/2" copper pipe which will attach to the pump. I'll place a Tee then a Tee to branch off two connections for corny keg posts. The idea...

I kegged my third (fourth?) batch today. Rocked it back and forth for 15min, then let it sit for an hour in the keezer. Tasted awesome! Three ounces of sweet orange is much better than two.

I melted together both lines on my wort chiller. I was so ANGRY! Now I have very short lines on my wort chiller. I am now relaxing with an orange wheat home brew. Ahhhh.

Dang it! HI then LO would be so much easier. Oh well. By the way, I am nearly done with a keg of your DFH60. Not only was it awesome, but it has a tendency to sneak up on people while they're enjoying the hops. Love it.

Some brewers include a step both at a low conversion temperature (say 145F/63 C) and a second mash step at high conversion temperature (say 155F/68 C). This results in very high sugar conversion, and a very clean, light bodied beer. It does this by activating both the alpha and beta amylase in...

I've used this calculator twice now. I LIKE IT. It's become a part of my brew prep.

Ok. Oh Kay. This isn't over yet. I made a Stone IPA clone (Edwort) and killed it within a week or two with the help of neighbors. Never noticed anything except it just didn't have as strong a nose to it near the end. I followed that up with the most amazing Dogfish 60min clone (Yooper). It was...

Today is BREW DAY on my first ever 10G brew. Just wanted to challenge myself. 5G brews though fun, just aren't offering much in challenges like they used to. I'm not constantly trying to correct some mistake or worse a mis-perception. First off, I've read the posts and reviewed the pictures...

My process or rather force of habit is strong enough and consistent enough that I don't check SG on FG anymore. In the beginning though, I was very meticulous and concerned. I just couldn't wrap my brain around the fact that I was getting drunk on my own brew. I mean there was alcohol in...

Kegged. Not vinegar. Dank, off. How old? Near a month, but I thought IPAs had a good lifespan. Reminded me of a hefeweizen that you failed to drink within a month of kegging or maybe two months after kegging.

Ok, ok, prison wine. First sneak a juice into your room each day until you have enough to 3/4 fill the glass jar you managed to steal from the kitchen. Add the occasional sugar packet if your lucky. Get a couple of cracker packets, crumble into a clean sock. Pour juice into the sock into the...

I harvest yeast too. I'm sure I've saved a hundred dollars a years doing so. I typically wait about 20 min at each stage. 20 min bucket rest, 20 min growler rest, then pour into 4 mason jars and off to the fridge. LABEL the jars. Yes, label the jars with the yeast name and date of harvest. I...

My buddy, on his fifth brew and second all grain, brews this fabulous Bell's clone. I like it better than the original, it's just awesome. After a couple of weeks of making excuses to visit for the off chance that he'll offer me a glass of his IPA, I notice the beer tastes foul, dank. I'm...

About a month ago, I brewed the below recipe from Revvy, Kiss Your Cousin Kentucky Common. I made one big mistake, left the lid on my kettle the whole boil. So, I didn't realize my true boil off. I had way too much wort with a low SG going into my fermentor. Despite that, the beer is yummy...

The mystery recipe... EDWORT'S STONE IPA !! Unbelievable. Here I am looking for inspiration for my next brew day and I find the recipe, finally.

Not PacMan. San Diego Super Yeast WLP090. No starter. This beer will be my starter and I'll harvest afterward.

I'm using PacMan today. Again, I bought this yeast specifically for that recipe... still hasn't come back to me. My extra hops are 0.5 oz Citra and 0.4 Amarillo.

Several weeks ago, I went out and bought some grains and hops with a recipe I found here on HBT. 10.5 Pale 1 Munich 1 C20 3 oz Centenial 1 oz Warrior I've lost the recipe. Have no idea what this beer will turn out as. I'm sure I'll remember the recipe, half way through my boil...
