So I've decided to make a Leffe Brune clone, since it's so dang hard to get here in the states (and really really good). So I ordered the AHS clone AG kit. It came with WLP530. This is my first beligan anything, so I have ben doing some research on this yeast. I have read several ferm temp...

I think i want to go ahead and add a nitro tap to my keezer. Before I do, I want to make sure that I'll be able to actually get gas. Does anyone know who supplies beergas in Houston or the surrounding area? I see there is actually a company called Beergas Co, but they're now owned by...

So I have 3 kegs ona distributor block. 2 of them are fine, but one (an ale) is pushing a ton of foam. The stout and hefe are just fine. Im serving at 12psi with 5ft lines. The stout keg hss bern on the longest(3-4 weeks), and is nearly tapped, the ale not as long(2-3 weeks) and the hefe is...

So I just got Ray Daniel's book in the mail today. Man this thing is awesome. There's so much information, it's going to take forever to tackle all of it. But I went ahead and skimmed quite a bit, and the excitement got too much for me. So I jumped on beersmith and decided to attempt...

So I'm trying to decide on a yeast for my Bavarian hefe. I don't usually drink them, so I'm not sure what flavor profile I want. My dad is the one that requested I make one. He likes the Lienenkugels summer wheat as well as the pyramid hefeweizen. I have a packet of danstar Munich and a...

So my ale has been sitting in the primary for a week now. I took a gravity reading today, and it's down from 1.081 to 1.018. And the sample tastes fantastic. I mean, so good I can't believe I made this. I was a little worried after hearing some people report peach esters with fermenting...

Doing my 3rd brew this coming weekend, and plan on doing a late extract this time around, but had a few questions. I'll be brewing AHS Bavarian hefe kit, which has 6# DME. I was thinking I'll add the lme at 60, and the DME at flame out. Any foreseeable problems with this? I have read that...

So I finished my keezer today. Bought a 14.8 cuft freezer from home depot, and painted it. Then I built a collar out of 2x4, and covered that with 1x6 red oak that I stained to match my cabinets. One thing I'm waiting for is longer beer hose. I originally bought premade 5ft lines, but...

I'm in the process of brewing my first beer. I offered my equipment and the Spring Irish Stout from AHS, and did my boil last Wednesday. Brew day went great, my dad and I really enjoyed the process. I went with the Muntons Premium Gold Ale dry yeast, because I don't have the starter...

Hi, been lurking here for a few months now, and finally made an account. I guess it would be a good idea to introduce myself. My name's Nolan. I'm 28, and living in Lake Jackson, Tx, which is a small-ish town about an hour south of Houston. One of my friends got me into brewing after I...
