    REAL feedback

    I really want to start to get REAL feedback on my homebrew. I do want to start sending out beers to competition but not sure where to even start? Which ones to send to? Medals would be great, but I just want to know how to improve? What's the best way to do this? Would love to join a local...

    Belgian Sugar and Syrups

    I've been brewing for quite some time now and really want to begin perfecting my favorite style of beer, the belgian strong. While it is my favorite, I've only brewed a couple random recipes here and there. But I want to begin with something I've always been puzzled by... The syrups and sugar...

    QR Code to Recipe

    Everyone has smart phones now-a-days. I think a really cool thing, and one thing I'm sure is out there, is a way to put a custom QR code on my homebrew bottle/tap handle for drinkers to scan and then pull up my recipe, dates, etc. Anyone?

    First Lager Starter

    Getting ready to brew my first lager with now having a temp controlled freezer to play with. I have a packet of WLP833. I've been doing 1.5 gallon batches and love them. I love being able to brew 1-2 times a week. But yeast is expensive and wanted to do a couple things here. First, if I'm...

    Lager Yeast Starters

    Few questions here guys/gals. 1.) how long do you let your ale yeast starters stir on the stir plate? Same thing for lager? 2.) how long do you cold crash your ale yeast? Same for lager? Being that I plan to prepare the starter ~65F and then just decant.... Do I want to get rid of ALL...

    Storing Hops

    I brew a lot of small gallon batches now, so an oz lasts me a bit of time. What's the best way to store these hops? They come in a heat sealed bag from the HBS (Adventures in Homebrewing) but how to store these partial bags after opening? Unfortunately I do not have a vacuum sealer nor the...

    Affordable Probe Thermometer?

    Anyone have an affordable probe thermometer? Something I can toss in my kettle during BIAB, wrap up with reflectix, and not have to remove lid to measure mash temp? Thinking something along this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004XSC5/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Unsure if I can complete...

    One Gallon Batch Yeast

    Been brewing 5 gallons for quite some time now, looking to scale it down allowing me to brew on a weekly basis and experiment etc. etc. I'm wondering how much of a dry yeast packet should I pitch? 1/5? If so, what to do with the other 4/5? Can I store it somehow for a later batch? If so, how?

    One Gallon Batch BIAB

    I love beer, I love my homebrew, but I'm starting to love the brewing process a bit more than both. I want to get better and for that I need more practice. I also want to experiment a LOT and try to brew weekly. I also want to experiment with some big beers yet with the limitations of only have...

    Those that Both Bottle and Keg

    When I first got into this hobby a couple years ago, I went straight for kegging. Figured I'd never want to be bothered bottling. Now, I want to brew more and more. I also want to brew smaller batches or not occupy 1/2 of the keg spots on a beer I know will sit around for awhile (if not a...

    Wanting to Make a Fermentation Chamber

    I'm looking to build a fermentation chamber. Ideally, as easy as possible. I'm trying to learn everything I can about it and then go ahead and build it during the holiday. From what I'm seeing I can just buy a random mini fridge off craiglist, remove the door, and build a box around it. How...
