Hey all, I want to brew a black rye saison. I don't want much in the way of roasted flavor, just the color. I Was thinking I would try this. Any thoughts? Amt Name Type # %/IBU 10 lbs Pilsner (2...

Is this going to get me into trouble if I run into law enforcement? I'm visiting a buddy and we were saying it would be cool to bring a couple of carboys and brew a batch and take my half home with me. I'm sure a keg would be the ideal way to do this, but it won't work out at this time...

Hi All, I've got a bunch of better bottles waiting to be filled with sours. I have a split 10 gallon flanders red going since early April (2013). I was thinking I would like to do a lot of split batches to experiment and possibly give me blending options. Next up is going to be a...

I am brewing a cream ale with the WLP080 Cream Ale yeast blend. Should I make a starter or will that change the yeast proportions too much? I've done sours where there was specifically a recommendation to NOT make a starter for this reason...

Did anyone else place a pre-order for hop rhizomes with Nikobrew? They were supposed to ship early april. I ordered early february, and paid through paypal, but never heard anything after I sent payment. No updates. The website no longer lists them, I emailed them through the site and haven't...

Hey all, I got a vial of each today. Should these be stored just like regular liquid pitch-able yeast in the refrigerator.

Anyone who is able to comment, let me know. This is my next brew, and hope to order ingredients next week. I am planning an 11 gallon batch (split into two fermentors) with 2 yeast/bug combos. One with white labs flemish ale blend, the other with the sour mix1. Recipe Specifications...

My landlord recently replaced out stainless kitchen sink. He left the old one here, and I thought it might be useful for something brewing related. Could this become a coolship for harvesting wild yeast? It's a double sink and is fairly small. I would think only about 5 gallons max would fill...

Hey all, I am hoping to brew a really big American Barley Wine in a couple of batches from now. I've never brewed anything this big, and basically just want to see how close I can get. I'm new at trying to come up with recipes, so this is my first attempt. This is for a 5g All Grain brew...

I've got my first brew day in a while coming up. I want to split the batch into two 5 gallon batches, and pitch a different yeast into each. i've never done a starter before. I only have one stirplate, and will use growlers to make the starters. I haven't tried the growlers on the...

Is there a commonly used way of incorporating this liquid into beersmith? Additionally, what is the best way to measure this liquid? just disconnect and dump in a bucket?

I have a blichmann burner with the leg extensions. I am hoping to buy a new pot in a few weeks. I am looking at a 15 gallon or a 20 gallon like the ones northern brewer sells. NB lists the 20 gallon as 21" across (dia). The blichmann burner has these pot catch things that I guess only go up to...

Does this exist? I seem to come across either a dual scale refractometer, or a single scale refrac with an LED light built in.
