Hello! Tired of the 5 hour long day brewing a 5 gallon all grain batch using a propane burner, 2 10 gallon pots and a converted square plastic mash tun. I dont have a clue on what all in one electric brew system to get. I'm looking for the most I can get for under $500. 10 gallon all grain...

My regulator keeps freezing up while brewing. I tried keeping a wet wash cloth on it and that freezes up as well. Also I tried to keep it elevated above the nozzle and that still wouldn't help. It freezes up so bad it shuts down the burn. What can I do? What regulator do you recommend?

Love the great perfume some women wear that walk by. I want to collapse sometimes.... Love the incense at church. Oh so good.... I especially love the aroma of hops that I can smell across the room from a pint glass... Going to brew this (http://www.brew365.com/beer_stone_ipa.php): All Grain...

Meant to say OR. I'm back to brewing after a 3 year break.....I have 3, 5 gallon ales all grain in the pipeline: Orfy's Dark Mild, Special Bitter and Ordinary Bitter. I do have a refrigerator that can handle lagers. Should I do my first lager or a Vanilla Porter for the fall? If I do a lager I...

Found some uncrushed 2 year old grain after a regretful hiatus from home brewing. Use it or toss it?

Just brewed a beer today, Jamil's Ordinary Bitter. After the wort cooled, I put a gallon of spring water into my carboy. Then I started to add some wort and stopped to give it a little shake. Well, the carboy BROKE because I maybe got a little to aggressive on my cement floor. Quickly put...

I have Jamil's English Southern Brown in the primary and when I keg it it will be 12 days in the primary. On the same day I will keg it, I will brew Jamil's Ordinary Bitter and pitch it on top of the yeast cake from the Southern Brown. Since they are nearly the same alcohol content, will this...

Doing my first All Grain brew this Sunday and need your favorite Scottish Ale recipe. Thanks.

Got bitten again by the home brew bug. Took a break for a few years and went into wine which was disappointing and other vices like pipes and cigars...... Now I'm back. Went to the local B&M to pick up supplies. Here is my recipe: 5 gallon extract, with 2.5 gallon boil HOUSE ALE...

I just made a 5 gallon "Welch's Grape Juice Wine" and added used grape skins from my Classic Winery Series Cab I just racked. From one to another. That plus a full dose of proofed Lalvin 71B-1122 and I have air bubbles 30 minutes later in the airlock! LOL. WELCH’S CONCORD WINE Batch II...

I started a WE World Australian Chardonnay yesterday and zero action as of yet. The temp was about 80 degrees. Did I kill the yeast being 5 degrees to hot and me being impatient? When should I start getting worried if I shouldn't be now? My first wine kit had action in 4 hours!

I use this for beer and would like to know if it will work for wine bottles?

My wife and I go through a lot of Bacardi Silver rum (I know, alkis :drunk:) and we have many of these bottles. Can they be used for wine?

Vintner's Reserve: Riesling Started: 8/13/09 Starting Gravity: 1.077 Primary fermentation was vigorous. Racked to secondary: 8/23/09 Gravity: 0.990 There is an airspace about 3-4 inches from the bottom of the bung. I still hope it ferments to get rid of the O2. I rolled the...
