For three summers now, I’ve brewed this with some modifications. The grain bill is the same with a pound of corn sugar to up the ABV. Hops, I use the same strain as in the original recipe but quadruple the amount. .5 oz cent at 55 and 35 minutes. 1 oz cascade at 20 and 5 minutes. Then an oz of...

It’s pretty new. The expected OG according to the sheet says 1.060-1.070.

So I decided to brew tonight. It’s an extract 20 minute boil. I didn’t have time to get the yeast out earlier today and so I’m wondering if it’s cool to just smack the cold yeast pack and dump it in right away? Will that cause any problems?

Decided to go through my garage and sell off the stuff I don’t need or use anymore. The beer gun, I bought it and never used it, you can have it and the accessory kit for $60. The Blichman Therminator chiller and hoses is $100. The Rip Tide pump, I’d like $200 for it, I bought it and never used...

Yep, if my lagering fridge hadn't died, I'd be making Oktoberfest and Pilsners year round, I'm stuck going back to ales full time, so yeah. I usually go through phases where I like to make IPAs, then I'll go through a phase where I make all stouts and porters. Then I'll make session beers and...

At a garage sale recently, I obtained a few cans of Billy Beer and they told me that since it’s over 40 years old not to open the cans and drink them, the guy said it’d probably taste like rust. Since I was born a few years after Billy Beer went out of business, has anyone who had it remember...

A few years ago, my wife found a pretty wide assortment at a garage sale. The woman’s elderly father died and left about 50 assorted beer and wine glasses. The woman was asking 4 for $1. So my wife FaceTimed me and I picked out 4 that I liked. She told my wife her dad had about 300 beer glasses...

I always get my fancy IPA glassware at the Dollar Tree.

Here we are, project mostly finished, just running line cleaner through all the lines. Then I will put in my two other kegs that have beer in them and fill the keg with line cleaner with mead. Let me know what you think. 3C2CB95F-93F4-422E-BF75-D876A0174139 by Randomnoob posted Feb 23, 2019 at...

I got a free three tap draft beer tower and so I was thinking I’d just drill a hole in the keezer lid and put the tower on the lid. Are there any sort of articles or YouTube videos out there showing you how to do such a project? Pretty everything I’ve seen online has been about adding a wood...

I soaked it in bleach for a day. Then I cleaned with Oxy-Clean and the hit it with Starsan. The mash tun smells fine, no more death stink and it’s cleaner than the day I bought it five years ago. If the beer smells bad in a month, I’ll replace it. These days I do mostly extract anyways and don’t...

Plastic cooler.

How much bleach do I need?

I got back from a week long vacation this past Sunday. The garage has stunk since I came back and figured I must have thrown some sort of food in the garbage can in the garage. So last night I pulled the bag and took it out with the rest of the trash but this morning before work it still stunk...
