I am gonna brew a apple ale extract kit from Midwest today. In the instructions, it says as soon as fermentation kicks off, 1 gallon of un-pasteurized/ no preservatives cider can be added in the primary. I think I want to do this, only issue is that I don't just have fruit stands and orchards...

So I just read threw some threads and think I might be on to something here. I am doing extract batches, full 6.5 gallon boils in a keggle. Normally, I fill the keggle up to 6.5 gallons, throw the specialty grains in, bring up to 155 degree F and steep for 30 min. After reading the information...

So I brewed this raspberry wheat for a friend. Racked into primary just like normal. Let it sit in primary two weeks, then transferred it into secondary on Saturday. This was my first time racking into a secondary, and I only did it because of the raspberry extract addition required. Now this is...

I have just been attaching my blow off tubes the inside of a torn down/ partially assembles 3 peice airlock. I think 3/8ths is what I have been using. I want to go to the larger diameter tubing that just fits into the neck of the carboy however I am sketched out about the tube getting blown out...

I'm doing a old castle nut brown from Midwest tonight. This will be my first time using DME, as all my other kits have been LME. I kno I have to turn to the heat off when adding the LME to avoid burning the extract... Is this necessary with the DME?

Just got an order in the mail last week from farmhousebrewsupply so I figured I would show everyone my new set-up. I got a 8-way distribution manifold to split my 12 psi up amongst my cornies. I also moved my co2 tank outside and put some quick disconnects on the line for changing the tank...

So I'm looking to buy a stir plate. I don't want to make one, I want to buy one. I want to use it primarily for 2L, 5 gallon starters, however I do have a 5L flask and would like both to work with whatever stir plate I get. Any recommendations for me?

So I brewed a Snow White wit with white labs Belgian wit yeast. OG at 1.048. Brewed last Friday 10-26, made a 1.4l starter on a stir plate. It was my first starter and I wasn't expecting it to be so fast. I started with an air-lock only to find it totally plugged and overflowing the next morning...

So I'm planning in brewing Friday and want to do my first starter tonight. I'm brewing a Belgian white ale, should be in the neighborhood of 1.060. I have one vial of white labs yeast. Plugging the info into mr.malty iPhone app, this is what I get... Living in Alaska, I can't really just go...

So apparently Midwest is running a 7.95 flat rate shipping for all orders. Living in Alaska, I figured it would be a good idea to take advantage of this opportunity and order 12 extract kits from them! These include: pumpkin spices ale, apple ale, old castle brown ale, maverick amber ale, rocky...

So looking at the mr.malty yeast calc, what exactly is the growth rate on the bottom? How is that determined ?

So I just brewed a raspberry wheat beer last night. It calls for a secondary fermentation in which some raspberry extract will be added. I have the luxury of cold crashing and typically do. However, this is the first time I'm going to rack into a secondary. Should I cold crash the primary to get...

So I am thinking about doing a 10 gallon batch. I brew with lme, specialty malts, and hop additions. I assume I could just order 2 of the 5 gallon kits and make both at the same time. I am using a keggle so the 10 gallon volume shouldn't be an issue. My question is, what's the best fermenter to...

Hello there. So I got a question about what kind of brew-timeline I need to be running. A lil background info, I got a 19.7 cf keezer with 6 taps. Plenty of room for cold crashing and all that. I currently have 6 ball locks as well as three 6 gallon glass fermenters and one 5 gallon. I drink...

Well here we are again. I built a full coffin decked out keezer from a 7.2 magic chef. I threw that sucker on Craigslist for twice as much as I thought it was worth, and that plan backfired, it sold! So now I bought a brand new 19.7 ct GE cheat freezer. I am doing just a collar on this build and...

Tonight I brewed my second batch. It was a nut brown ale. The recipe called for a vile of wyest European ale yeast but I accidently bought a vile of wyeast English ale yeast. How is this gonna turn out? My OG was 1.052. Everything else went well. Recipe First run in the keggle. Still need...

I did my first home brew tonight! Recipe was as follows... All my supplies laid out here... Gettin my brew on... Home made wort chiller in action. Chilled from 212 to 80 in about 20-25 minutes. Chiller cost me about $5 so I can't complain ha. And finally in the fermenter. ****ty stick...

Hello there. After falling in love with this site and looking at dozens of keezers, I have decided to attempt my own. I purchased a 7.2 cubic foot magic chef off Craigslist for 125$. I plan on doing a coffin set up. Haven't yet ordered my plumbing and conversion supplies so any input on that...
