I order a couple of all-grain beer kits from Northern Brewer. I live in southern TN (Winchester). It obviously took several days to get them in (ordered Monday night and received on Saturday afternoon). I only ordered one ice pack with the kits for the yeast. Yeast packets were packaged...

Thanks for the info. This has helped out alot.

I have what I probably a stupid questions.... I'm thinking about building a fermentation chamber and have read through several threads here. I've noticed most, if not all, of them have a small fan mounted inside. What is the purpose of the small fan? Obviously for circulating air, but why?

I'm curious about this one myself. Just went to Music City Brewfest last weekend in Nashville and had a blast. Looks like this one is set up differently with "tokens". Does anyone know how that works? Obviously, tokens get you beer, but does one $3 token get you one beer? Just trying to...

Thanks guys. I'm definitely not intending to ferment at 40degF. Adjusted temp before I left for work to try and get the temp in the low 50's. My main concern was the beer going back after sitting for a few days without have adequately pitched yeast. But it sounds like my temperature control...

Hello All, Need some info/advice on my current situation. I made the jump to all-grain brewing this past weekend...loved it!! Was surprised how easy the process was. I was a bit intimidated going in, but overall I thought the process was pretty straight forward. Attempted C. Papazian's R...

I need a wort chiller and have been debating back and forth with myself over whether or not to build vs. buy. It would obviously been fun and rewarding to build myself but came across this deal at Williams Brewing (25' on sale for $39) http://www.williamsbrewing.com/WORT_CHILLER_P205C107.cfm...

Thanks for the suggestions and quick replies. I've always racked to a secondary fermenter, but I may just leave it alone for a couple of days, check the gravity, and go from there. Thanks

I brewed an Oktoberfest Ale last weekend (7 days ago). Fermentation began within 12 hours and it was pretty impressive (overflow into/out-of fermentation lock on a 6.5 gal plastic fermenter for a 5 gal batch). Fermentation subsided within a couple of days. Bubbles in fermentation lock have...

First off, let me begin by saying this is a great site. I started brewing a little over a year ago and this site has some great information. You guys do a great job. Since I still consider myself a beginner, I'm still brewing beer kits with all the ingredients/recipes already assembled...

My wife and I were in St. Lucia last year (July '06) for our honeymoon. I had quite a few Piton's while I was there. Great lager! We'd like to go on a cruise and see some more of the Caribbean (and drink more Caribbean beer). Congrats on the wedding!!!

Hello All, Just recently got into homebrewing here in Alabama. My wife bought me a nice homebrew kit a while back. Now, she wishes she hadn't because I'm taking over the kitchen. :rockin: I've made only a couple of batches so far, and was pleasantly suprised with the outcome. Now I'm...
