Hey all, I decided to create a modified Brewsheet, based on the original one, with a few extra add-ons. My first objective was to be able to get it printable on only one sheet. I've achieved that by deleting some of the features on the Brewsheet that I find useless (most notably I deleted...

I was wondering what some of you guys thought about using the PC Rasenmaher yeast. I have a pack reserved and can't remember what I originally wanted to brew with it. Cheers

So I just ordered a couple glass boots on ebay and was wondering how I could put some logos onto them. I know that using silk screen is the typical technique that works very well, but I need something that won't be cost prohibitive for small quantities (I want a different logo on each boot)...

Explanation: I would like to brew this beer to celebrate the end of the football (soccer) season of my fav club: Bayern München (see my avatar). They play the next three Saturdays in a row, and could go on to win three different competitions (the league, the German cup and the European cup (UEFA...

In an attempt to help brewers, and to compare numbers between different brewers, I was wondering if you people could post the diameter of your boil kettle as well as your boil-off rate in number of gallons. These don't have to be exact numbers, but I would like to compile them and eventually do...

I've just finished my Immersion chiller, and wanted to ask a few questions. This is my first time doing silver soldering, and despite having read quite a bit about it, it seems like my joints aren't as pretty as some that I've seen. I've just finished cleaning it, first with dish soap, and...

Hey guys, So I just threw my RIS into the primary on an Oatmeal Stout (US-05) yeast cake. Now I've been thinking of this beer for a while (I've wanted to do the 8-8-8 RIS since that topic started, this one is based on it with a higher alcohol percentage) and I've come up with two names. This...

This past 12th of February, my grand father Ross, who I am named after, passed away. Please raise a pint in honor of him, I'm sure he would be glad it was homebrew, as earlier in his life he used to make his own beer.

I have another question for the experienced mead makers. I will be starting a few different meads in the next week, and wanted to have some be from off-dry to sweet, but was wondering how much I can rely on the yeast stopping fermentation around it's alcohol tolerance level? Am I better...

As in the title, I was going to venture into mead making soon, and wanted to make two different batches, a raspberry and a blueberry mead (total of six batches actually, two normal meads, one cyser and one JOAM), but was wondering about using frozen fruit. Should I pasteurize it with the...

I will be brewing tomorrow, and would like to know if I should filter out Curacao from a Wheat beer before putting it in my primary? I will be boiling the spices for 15 minutes. I will also be adding ground coriander, which I guess can't really be filtered. I'm sorry if the question has...

Now, before anyone gets all up in my face, I'm not trying to make hooch OR going to distill this. I'm trying to make something that tastes good and is drinkable. I'm thinking about (not sure I'll go through with it, like most ideas that come to me when I'm drunk, this may not be feasible)...

Specifically Diammonium Phosphate. I am thinking of ways to reduce fermentation time (for Ed's Apfelwein), since my buddies love it so much... I've read that apple juice contains very little FA Nitrogen which is one of the reasons it ferments longer. Can I just throw in some DAP without...

As I was putting my Pilsner Urquell clone in my beer storage closet, I realized just how much beer (and Apfelwein) I have: about 400 bottles I present to you, the wall of beer: OK, so I lied a bit, that's only part of it, this is the rest (Christmas beer x 2 on the bottom...

I figured I should share this recipe with you nice folks in case some of you start having summer parties soon (not close to having them here with many feet of snow still on the ground). My family has been doing this for about 2 years and we serve this with about anything. This is a really simple...

Although there is a lot of snow pretty much all over Canada, if you're planning on planting hops and live in Canada, I would like to share a website I found that sells them: http://www.crannogales.com/farm.html press "Price List/Order Form 2008". Although it's not as convenient since it's an...

So, we've had a huge amount of snow (we're a few storms from beating the record in 1971) and today there's tiny hail. Well, the local buses aren't going around I guess so no university for me and SWMBO today. We waited almost half an hour and nothing. Plus both the profs that we had classes...

The question is pretty simple, if I want to conserve the nice creaminess with an oatmeal stout, which yeast would you use?

First off, let me explain why: I want to use a product that my LHBS recently got (FestaBrew) which is basically 6 gallons of wort ready to ferment. I would like to do their Brown Ale: http://www.magnotta.com/Festabrew/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=220 but have read that the bitterness is kind of...

So I just finished watching it. Now, don't get me wrong, it's a pretty good movie, I think I get the message that the writers are trying to get across (the free violence that exists in this world...) But... 4 Oscars? All I get out of this movie is that people are ready to...
