    I was hoping to hear some good news. I didn't pre order due to the lack of communication from brewie but I really want this thing to be awesome! I would love nothing more than to hear success stories. So far, I have not read many posts ( here or on the brewie users group on Facebook) that...

    Video looks good. I can't wait to have a video from some that has it hooked up to water and explains how the machine calculates mash and sparge volumes. I was so close to pre order but decided to wait. I just couldn't get clear answers from them. Until I see it running and making mid to high...

    Thanks for the info. I couldn't get a straight answer from them! It seems like a 1.065 wouldn't be an issue. I haven't been following to closely the last week what is the anxiety about?? Looks like they are shipping.

    Need help deciding! I can't seem to find specific information and asking them doesn't seem to help. I would be ready to order right now if someone can confirm how large of a batch size can you make? Can you make 5.28 gallons of 1.070?

    I totally agree with you. I am very excited about the machine and I had several questions for the team. I went to their website and submitted my questions with zero response. Tried again, nothing. Posted on facebook, no response. Finally I got them to respond to a facebook messenger note. Still...

    MoreBeer Pliny vs. Northern Brew Plinian

    Hi type I bought the NB plinian kit and I have one week of dry hopping left. I did cheat and sample a pint or 3 and I have to tell you, it's one of the best IPAs I have had. I know it's the best I ever made. It uses about 15 oz plus the resin hop shots so it's over the top hoppy. With that...

    Hop utilization question

    I have been using a French coffee press to steep hops for aroma and then adding to my wort. It really imparts nice flavor without adding all the sludge to the wort. Here is my question, when a recipe (like one from northern brewer) calls for a 2.5 gallon boil of the entire wort with hops...

    Dundalk Irish Heavy

    Mine is done and is now gone! It was my best brew yet. Very complex yet easy to drink. You can taste a coffee undertone. I am going to make this again very soon. I used that Williams warn machine, it was ready in 1 week. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Ezcap vs traditional bottling

    Thanks. Maybe I did it wrong. The kegged beer is perfect. The bottler I used forces co2 in first then fills beer. I just noticed the beer from the bottle was not as carbonated as from the keg. Maybe I will try bottling some the traditional way and compare. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Ezcap vs traditional bottling

    Hi all. I made my first batch and I bottled some from a keg. I used the ezcap bottles and I noticed the beer was a bit flat when I drank it a couple days later. I used a bottom filling filler and it still seemed flat. Is this because of the ezcap bottles? Would I have better luck with...

    Amber ale done using the williamswarn

    Hi guys, I am fairly new to this board. I got some amazing advice and help from here before I started brewing. I just finished my first brew, an American Amber ale with additional crystal 40 And boiled hop additions. I was also able to add late addition hop tea for aroma. I used the williamswarn...

    Does anyone else think Sam Adam's beer sucks

    I loved the White Ale they did for spring some years back. Now they have the Cold Snap. Seems very close to the white ale. I have to admit, I am a can of most beers they put out. Winter, fall beers are great. I could do without the summer ale. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Hop Usage

    Thanks. That makes sense. Based on this info I am going to try bittering with East Kent and use Fuggles for aroma. Thanks again for the insight.

    Hop Usage

    I had a question that relates to the original one posted. If I am going to be boiling hops just for the IBUs does it matter which I use? Will a 60 min boil add any flavor or aromas? Based on my reading they wouldn't. I will be making an esb and don't know if it matters if I use all English...

    Specialty grain and hop balance question

    Thanks again for the feedback. I went through the numbers you mentioned and I wanted to see if I am on track with my calculations. Original recipe is 1040 with 20 IBUs. With ratio of .50 If I added 1lb of DME it would bring IBU down to 18.63 and increase OG to1048. The ratio is now .41. I...

    Specialty grain and hop balance question

    Thanks for the info! So basically adding that little c40 wouldn't really throw off the taste too much?
