Hey folks. I'm about to jump into E-BIAB and I'm looking for a controller. I was going to build my own, but after finding the BrewCommander, I fell in love with the touch screen and relative ease of use versus the EZBoil's dial. Does anyone know of where I could pick one of these up "relatively"...

Going to be doing my first BIAB this weekend. I've purchased a new kettle and a straining basket, got my bags, and I'm ready to go. I've been looking around though and I'm starting to question my choice in kettle size. I wanted to go big so I could brew some high gravity beers occasionally...

I've decided to go ahead and purchase a 10 gallon pot and the other various things I need for BIAB (bag, pulley, etc.). There are a couple things I can't get clear in my head though: Will 10 gallons be large enough for a 5 gallon batch? I would occasionally like to make a higher gravity...

Firstly, I want to thank everyone for chipping in on my last post for advice. Much appreciated, guys. Now, when last we talked, I was having issues with my Irish Red having a "yeasty" taste from the keg. I'd also bottled 6 of them, and tonight I opened the first bottle and poured a glass from...

...but I did look for answers to my specific questions and couldn't find them. I'm pretty sure I'm going to brew my next batch BIAB. I'm an extract brewer in the past, so naturally I'm hesitant on a few things: My main question is this: I have a 6 gallon brew pot. Do I need to go ahead and get...

I first got into brewing a few years ago, but stopped because all of my brew had a similar smell and flavor. About a year ago, I started back in and I made the best beer I'd ever made. I was concerned about the results, so I only made a 2.5 gallon batch. For Christmas, I made a vanilla...

All this time I've heard about how important sanitation is, and how your beer can become infected. I've even posted the typical newbie questions showing concern for my batches. You guys lied to me! No, actually I'm just really lucky...two beers ago, my immersion chiller basically fell apart...

I'm a relatively new homebrewer, but I completed my third brew a little while ago, and I've noticed something: They all taste the same. Not exactly, but similar. My first was a Belgian IPA as a dedication to a friend who was moving who liked IPAs. I assumed that's just how that particular kit...

For my second beer, I decided to sort of venture out and create my own brew. I feel I have a fairly decent idea of the process, so I wanted to see how I could do own my own without a kit or any ideas. I plugged everything into HopVille and BeerSmith and it all looks pretty good. (Still haven't...

After the success of my first brew, I've begun working on my second one. I decided to get a little experimental and put my own recipe together for the second one since I've learned quite a bit about hop varieties, grains, etc. My only question is this: My first brew was from a kit, a Belgian...

Hey everyone. Been lurking around the forums for a while now. I ordered all my stuff and brewed my first beer a few weeks ago and bottled it last night. Sampled it last weekend and while bottling last night, and even after all my concerns, everyone here was right in their motto "RDWHAHB". (Did I...
