    Leaking weldless ball valve installed on stainless brew kettle

    I recently installed a fermentap weldless ball valve kit and a weldless thermometer on my 10 gallon stainless steel brew kettle. Following the directions, I found both the ball valve and thermometer leaked. After reading some posts on here, I placed the supplied red washer (which I presume is...

    when should I add the DME?

    I am planning to brew a Hop Rod Rye clone recipe from Brew Your Own Magazine. The recipe is all grain, but it includes an extract version.specifically, it replaces a large portion of the two row malt with DME, but doesn't specify when to add it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    My Magic Hat #9 clone morphed into something else in the secondary fermentor

    I forgot to mention, next time, I'll probably just try adding about 3 oz of apricot extract instead of the puree. I think I just blew the apricot flavor off the charts.

    My Magic Hat #9 clone morphed into something else in the secondary fermentor

    white labs WLP002

    adding fruit Oregon fruit puree to secondary ferment

    My recipe calls to add 49 ounce can of apricot puree to the secondary. Is it better to put the puree in the bottom and siphon the beer on top, or siphon the beer in first and then pour the puree in?

    New post a picture of your pint

    My Roggenbier came out great. This is a German style rye wheat beer. I modified the recipe a bit by adding caraway seeds to the last half of the boil in an attempt to create a rye bread characteristic. It took a week in the keg for the flavors to meld and mellow. I'm really pleased with the...
