For the past five years I've been happily brewing 5-11 gallon batches on a propane Bayou Classic SP10 (w/ 10 PSI regulator, apparently ~40k BTU in real life). I now have a 1" natural gas pipe running to the back yard and am looking for a natural gas burner that will suit my needs. Will the...

I would like to brew something in the style of La Cumbre's very tasty Red Ryeot. La Cumbre has very kindly put lots of detail on their website (http://www.lacumbrebrewing.com/red-ryeot/): And here's my first cut at a clone recipe for an 11 gallon batch, I welcome any thoughts/feedback you care...

Has anyone checked out either of the following: CO-Brew I've been in twice, fantastic location, friendly staff, and a nice clean setup but prices are mostly unmarked (maybe they're still setting up?) and the grains seemed a bit steep (I paid $6 for a pound of acidulated malt -- not sure if...

I'm looking to upgrade to a 15 gallon brew kettle and like the idea of a pot with vol. markings and a pre-installed ball valve. Saw these pots from AMCYL but they must be new as I didn't find any mention of them on homebrewtalk. http://shop.greatfermentations.com/product/2511/brew-pots...

I really enjoy Deschute's River Ale, couldn't believe that a session ale had so much going on flavor-wise when I tried it. I took a hack at a clone recipe and would love some feedback! Recipe Type: All Grain Yeast: Wyeast 1187 (Ringwood Ale), 1.5L starter Batch Size (Gallons): 5.5 Est...

I'm looking at picking up a mixer attachment for my power drill - primary purpose is to get the wort moving quickly around my imersion chiller to improve chill times. I know there are various cheaper paint/grout mixer attachments, but I'm looking at the Jiffy Mixer line because I want to go...

I dropped by Stomp Them Grapes' Denver location today and was surprised to see it closed. There were official-looking stickers on the doors saying the property was siezed for failure to pay taxes. There was still a sign out front for a home-brew class to be held tomorrow, so I assume this was...

Just found an incredible deal on CO2 refills in Denver, thought I'd pass it on since the massive price-hike at Red Comet ADX went through. Way to Grow (301 57th Ave in Denver, they also have locations in Boulder, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs, but I've only done refill at the N...

Have been brewing for a while now but this is my first crack at formulating my own recipe (after looking at lots of the beers I've brewed so far, as well as some recipes on HBT, of course). Any thoughts/suggestions? Amarillo IPA vol: 5.5 gallons yeast: US-05 Partial Mash (152F...

I am converting an all-grain recipe (here's the recipe) to extract. The all-grain recipe calls for 5 ml lactic acid, which it appears is being added to the mash for 60 mins . Should I still use the lactic acid in my extract version, and if so when should I add it (steep at 150 prior to boil...

I am looking to avoid adding a manifold to my (at this point still conceptual) kegerator interior for aesthetic/clutter reasons. The setup will include a primary regulator and two secondaries for three kegs (allowing independant pressure settings for each keg). I will have a CO2 tank with a...

Just getting into kegging, and I saw this regulator and tank listed on Craigslist for a good price. The regulator looks quite different than the ones I've seen for kegging (looks like it has electrics of some kind). I assume this is a "grow" setup but does anyone know if I could easily use...

So I made the Northern Brewer Black IPA extract kit this weekend. I planned to follow their directions on steeping the speciality grains, which suggest putting the grains in before you apply heat and leaving them in until you hit 170 degrees. I do a full boil, so was using 6.25 gallons of...

So I recently tried Left Hand's Good Juju (a "ginger ale"), and would like to take a shot at making something similar. Here's the description from Left Hand's website: Style: Herb/Spice Ale Color: Golder, 10 SRM Body: Light ABV: 4.50% IBU's: 20 Plato: 10° Malts: Pale 2-row, Munich...
