Try and reconnect your freshly cleaned and rebuilt liquid out QD on your full keg, testing for leaks, BEFORE you reassemble and install your also freshly cleaned faucet back into the tower. Don't do that!!

Our Governor here in California just signed a bill into law in '13 that makes it legal for any brewery to fill any growler as long as the growler doesn't have any permanent labels on it. Most people I know now own Hydro flask growlers that keep liquid cold for like 3 days and has no markings...

This is my exact feelings. I feel that most IPA lovers I know are very narrow minded in the beer world. 'If it aint an IPA I don't want it' mind set. If you want a lower ABV with great hop aroma and less bitter, drink or make an APA that has that. Session IPA's IMO are just ridiculous and I'm a...

Was this an extract or all grain brew? Salty flavor makes me think it may have to do with a funky water chemistry, and as far as I know, no amount of aging will fix that. It doesn't sound like the sample you tasted was horrible so even if it doesn't have a perfect flavor profile it's still...

giraffe, that's how I've thought of using MO, in ESB's or English browns. As far as the other grains go I'm not sure I'll seek out "English" specific. I think I'll just get standard chocolate malt and dark crystal (if they even exist haha). But besides the flavor profile it shouldn't really...

I've been eye balling a pretty simple Oatmeal Stout recipe that I want to make and the original recipe calls for MO. However one critique of the recipe said to change the MO to Rahr 2-row. What would this to the beer if anything? Would it change the flavor, head, or body at all? I've never...

Is the garden hose itself the only issue in this scenario? If you omitted the hose and hooked the filter directly up to the spigot would that be an issue? I've always had a hose adapter on a sink inside and then had to carry buckets full of water through the house. It would be nice to just be...

I will be adding a thick copper wire coiled up inside of the mash screen for the next batch. Wanted to do it for this one but got lazy and didn't make it to the hardware store before the weekend brew session. There was no wheat or rye, just 2 row crystal 60 and 80 with some carapils. It's a...

The recipe was supposed to have an OG of 1.060 and IBU of 42. It was a Stone brewing PA clone. I mashed at 156* for 60 min. I had a feeling that maybe the filter had crushed, it would make sense, I did have a fairly decent flow the first 10-15 sec before it slowly turned into a slow, slow run off.

So I brewed my first batch of all grain yesterday and had a couple questions about how the day went and about the finished product. Again this was my first AG batch so the mash tun and brew kettle were new as well and I think that might have something to do with the "hiccups" I encountered...
