Looking for a good starter batch for a clone of New Belgium Tripel. I'm not the belgian beer type, don't like the fruity stuff so I was hoping someone could point me at a good recipe to build up for the 8% belgian. Thanks :mug::mug:

Can't find it on walmart's website but in the garden section they have some totes for $5 a piece with handles that are awesome for carrying carboys. they're a bit bigger around so what I do is move it so site then fill 2/3 up with starsan solution and set my blowoff directly into the bucket. I...

Was in mine a couple days ago(managed to tweak my ankle :mad: ) but noticed that they have 52 quart AL pots for $51 and a 52 qt SS for $99. Is a 13 gallon pot big enough to do 10 gallon batches or am I better off building a keggle. Thanks

So I brewed a BIG beer, and it was my first brew in awhile. At 3 days in there is almost no activity, there was a little bit the next morning and it was going good day2, but almost none now. In hindsight I should have double pitched or made a starter but I didn't. Should I make a starter and add...

Welp, did my first all grain yesterday as a BIAB and things went...... well. Ended up with a little less wort then I wanted, think partially from using loose hops as opposed to pellets but that's ok. One of my wife's friends happened by and was quite stoked to see how to brew. I told him not to...

Ok, So I did a bunch of searching and it seems every post about this turns to Oxyclean vs SS. Taht's not my problem. My problem is an inherited Turkey Fryer that smells like grease. Can I Oxyclean it overnight or is there a better way? As much as I love fried chicken I don't want to brew...

Posted on my local freecycle seeing if anyone had bottles they didn't need. Didn't get any bottles, but a Lady contacted me wondering if I could use "a few really big bottles" Net score: 2x6 gal carboys, 1 5 gal carboy, 5x1 gal jugs and about 30 wine(mead) bottles :rockin: oh, her name...

thought you guys may get a kick out of my move a week ago. Ended up driving 4 hours down the highway with a carboy full of mead in my passenger seat, a 20lb co2 tank on the floor, my propane cylinder on the floor, a 15 gal fermenter on the back seat next to my giant mashtun(cooler) full of grain...

so I bought 2x sanke couplers off some guy on craigslist and upon disassembly bot hof the backflow valves are shot. the ball in one appears to have liquified and the the prong plastic piece is broken. the other the ball is intact but the plastic piece is shattered. can i use the coupler without...

ok, so it would seem my old man brewed some mead about ~3 years ago that he never racked to a secondary. I thieved some out and it seems fine but i'm curious as to the best course of action. I was thinking either a)rack it to a keg and just let it sit for awhile b)rack to 2nd and repitch it...

Hi guys, I bought 2 15 gal tanks from US plastics and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the fittings I need. I'm not sure what I need for making the dump valve and a side "sampler" mainly the part that actually passes through the tank and is in contact with the fermenting wort...

Show Info | Beer and Bourbon Festival BLAM! Anyone else going? I think myelf and a few friends are going to roll up from charleston and get a room at the marriot across the street.

So it's been a few years since I made mead(or beer for that matter) but I'm getting redy to get back into it with renewed zeal. Afew of the mead recipes I've been copying down from books here in hawaii say to try to avoid letting the med come into contact with air as much as possible while...

Well let's see, the first time I helped brew beer was with my old man when i was around 8 or 9. Many batches of beer and mead later i got to drink some ;-). Last time I brewed was a raspberry mead for my sister's wedding 3 years ago(it's pretty good now) and once I get back home(currently on...
