Speed Queen Wringer Washer If I had time today, and someone to help me grab this, I would go pick this up and see exactly what I could turn it in to. I'm thinking one hell of a boil pot.

I was told that the Sterling Rhizomes that I ordered were not going to be available because of quarantine. Anyone else running in to that this year?

So its 16 hours after I finished brewing, I've showered, and I'm sitting here at work smelling wort every so often. I can't figure out if it's wishful thinking, or a tumor. :p

I picked up a mixed 6'er at the beer store Sat. night. All was going well until I opened up the Magic Hat #9. It was skunked past being drinkable. I noticed that their bottle was a bit lighter than most of the rest of the bottles that I have saved. The beer store was much too bright, but none of...

Has anyone ever tried to batch sparge with a Zapap set-up? If so tell me how it went, and if there are any problems I should look foreword to.

SWMBO and I are planning a vacation this spring to hit some of the brewpubs and tasting rooms here in Michigan. We are looking for really good food and beer in a casual friendly atmosphere. Dinner must be at a place that has a nice hotel in walking distance. So far we are thinking Founders for...

I found a 12 gal conical and 3 12 gal kettles on CL. They are out of my price range, but I thought I'd put it up in case anyone else in SE Michigan was interested. 12 Gallon Stainless Steel Brew Kettles and Conical Fermentor

I have 6 stouts and 6 amber ales that I bottled with 1 hot pepper each. Tonight I will be tasting one of them, to see how much heat was transferred, and it the peppers negatively affected the taste. My question is should I just ice a few and offer them to my neighbors while they bring their kids...

SWMBO asked me for one thing when she bought me my home brew kit. She wanted me to try to brew an apple beer with apples from our local farmers market. She does enjoy lambics, but not most other beers, so I am using the lambic guidelines for the foundation for my beer. 4.5# light DME 1#...

I brewed an extract pale ale, OG was 1.056, the calculators have the fg between 1.017 and 1.014. Vigorous fermentation lasted 2 days, it stayed in the primary for a week, and now has been in the secondary for 3 weeks. (I was busy last week so couldn't bottle then.) 2 days ago the airlock started...

I had a glass of this from the keg at a small restaurant/bar in Lexington, Mi. One of the best dark Belgian strong ales I've ever tasted.

I recently received about 2 gross of crown caps that may be over 10 years old. How can I tell if they are still usable? I also received around 2 gross of VERY old soda crown caps, that have cork inside them instead of rubber. Can these be used without effecting the beers shelf life?

A member of my wifes family recently gave me 4 cases of bottles along with some ingredients he has had for a while. The 6 cans of hopped LME I probably would have thrown away even if they weren't bulging and ready to explode. Everything else I wonder about though. 1.) I have 4, 3lb bags of...

I started my rhizomes way to late to get any kind of harvest this year I know, but I need some advice about weather to unearth a couple to check for growth. The Chinook and Wilmette that I got from lhbs on 6/13 are growing nicely and I have no problems with them. The Golding's that I ordered...

My first brew (a kit from LHBS) is in the bottle and should be ready for my Beer Fest after party. 2'd 3'rd and 4'th batches are already in planning. SWMBO will be getting an insanely apple beer when apples are in season, and I will be getting my strong belgian between now and then.
