Sooo.... I have these two pumps that I purchased a while back with every intention of building a brew system. I have done absolutely nothing but am now getting the project going. I am looking for suggestions for quick connect fittings and ball valves that will make the hose changing much...

So, this past Saturday we put together, and promptly started using our new apple press to start off the pressing season. We only had a short time but we picked up some seconds, gave them a good washing, and went to work. We got the press so that we would have a little more control over what...

So, last evening, I did the partial mash recipie of BM's Oktoberfast. Everything went well, however...prior to pitching, the carboy looked like this... Any thoughts on what's going on there...??

So, I'm in the middle of my first partial mash, and I want to make sure that all of the sugars have converted... I've checked the Wiki, and I haven't see anything noted of the Iodine test... I watched Yuri's video's a while back where he did the test, however I can't find it currently. I...

So a while ago I picked this up from JD and since have converted half to ball lock (because that's what all my kegs are) and because I only had 4 beers for the 4th of July Of course this weekend being labor day and all, I will have 6 beers (and a commercial half barrel but that's not the...

So on Friday I brewed a Nut Brown Ale, but I also created a starter from some liquid yeast in preperation for a Sunday brew. I did not get around to brewing, and probably won't have time until Wednesday. Should I refrigerate the yeast...? leave at room temp (68) for an extra day or...2...?

So, I went ahead and bottled my first beer, and will probably do the same for my second, but going forward, I have acquired some cornies, and will be kegging as much as possible. Having said that, I'd like to also keep a 6-pack from everything that we brew and just start saving them for...

So we brewed up up a red ale this sunday and everything went smoothly, and I've had the carboy sitting in the basement since Sunday evening. The problem is that fermentation has not yet started. I am using a kit in which the dry yeast came and I used some water that I boiled for the wort...

Alright, so I brewed my first beer a few weeks ago. I have to say whether or not the beer turns out great, I had a fantastic time and will definitely continue this with my friends and such. Next Tuesday will be the tasting day, which I'm looking forward to. Having said that, I brewed that one...

Sooooo.... I brewed my first beer this weekend. I really wasn't planning on it, but I had to go to the store to get some bottles for some hard cider, and got sidetracked so I ended up spending waaaay to much money on stuff. ha ha ha, I suppose that's how it always starts. Go big or go home...

Is there a way to determine alcohol content without knowing the pH prior to fermentation? I only ask because the cider I'm now enjoying seems to have a bit more kick that I generally get and am just curious.

I don't know if there's already a thread about this topic, but I know that over the last week or two, I've been trying to find a place that fills, sells, exchanges CO2 bottles, and kind of had a tough time finding the right kind of place. I thought that it might be a good Idea to have a thread...
