So my friend is getting married in LA, California later this year. I have never been to LA or the surrounding areas and wanted to get some ideas for a bachelor party. I think Vegas is only 4 hours or so away and could be an idea, but he has mentioned that he might not want to do a Vegas...

I just brewed a pumpkin ale. My est OG was 1.057, but my actual reading is 1.069. I did not make a starter, because I didn't think I would overshoot the OG. I pitched the yeast and then used my paddle to aerate the wort. Should I add more yeast? Or just wait and see what happens...

Tonight I did the light test to see if I had any air leaks in my keezer. I did this because I was noticing a good bit of water collecting on the walls. What I found is the front right corner of the keezers top seal has light showing through. I built a double hinge keezer and the top seal is...

I have been waiting for one of these to pop up on craigslist and it finally happened. It's the 2.8 CF Haier nucool small fridge. I got it home last night, plugged it in and set it to the highest setting to see what would happen. I put a thermometer inside a glass of water to see what temps...

I just brewed a pale ale using normal malts and the American ale yeast. After 6 days in the primary the final gravity is at 1.006 with the original gravity was read at 1.066. Why so low? I was expecting a final gravity around 1.016. The pale ale now is around 7.8% ABV with a strong alcohol...

I recently conducted an experiment making a Wheat ale. I used 50% wheat and 50% base malt. I mashed, boiled and cooled in the same equipment and then split into two different fermentation vessels. Bucket one contained 2.5 gallons of the beer as did bucket two, both in my kitchen during the...

Hello everyone, I wanted to run by you some issues that I might be having with my new regulator. I just purchased a dual product regulator like the one available on midwest supplies site. Here are the issues I may be having. I say may, because it could be that I am just not use to a dual...

Well I started this beer out as a Chocolate stout, but the color is more a meduim brown so I am saving the chocolate extract for another time. My mash efficiency for this beer was really low at 56% with a OG of 1.048. After 6 days in the primamry I get a reading of about 1.007. What does...

So I have completed my 3rd All Grain brew day, which has produced so far great beer, but less than optimal efficiency. My latest was an rogue chocolate stout clone, a recipe I found here on home brew talk. I have a thread about this recipe and why my stout turned out medium brown rather than...

I just finished brewing a Rogue Chocolate Stout clone recipe that I found here on homebrewtalk.com. See recipe below. The final color is more of a medium brown for which I expected an ebony color. Any ideas what went wrong? I have also been getting a very low efficiency with my all...

The summers here are around the 90-100F range which makes fermenting beer tough as my temps in the apartment are around 77F. I was wondering if I can get around this by lowering my pitching temps. Say I have a yeast strain that likes to eat within a range of 65-72F, but I can't get my...
