Hello from soggy NorCal! Things are finally drying out here after our last big storm. We were without power for about 40 hrs and my latest brew was about a week into fermentation when the fermentation chamber lost power. I was holding at about 70 degrees and had gotten down to about 1.012 the...

I usually get 6 or so but use my co2 for cleaning and force carbing.

Reviving this thread and awesome recipe. Brewed this last summer and it was a big hit. Just kegged a batch and excited to have this on tap again. Got a little carried away with the boys on brew day and forgot the lime zest. Thinking of adding it to the keg. Anyone try something like this? Also...

Sounds like you’re hooked. Enjoy your first brew!

When I was bottling, I had fun with the templates on GrogTag. Reusable and the small tags were pretty cheap.

I'll be in Kailua and Honalulu for a week in August. Any can't-miss breweries to visit? Thanks in advance!

Hello all, Headed to Boulder for some music this weekend. Will likely have time to hit 3-4 breweries. Who's got favorites? Thanks in advance!

Belive it or not, I got to about 4000 ft and BOOM! One actually blew in the back seat! Pulled over in blowing snowstorm to clean up the glass and take stock. Decided to soldier on without incident and all the other bottles survived. Guess I found the overcarbed bottle!

Right? Seemed like a silly concern but thought I'd see if anyone had this happen. Now all I've got to worry about is the 3-4 feet of snow that's falling...

Headed to Tahoe today with a bunch of guys to ski and watch basketball this weekend and bringing two cases of homebrew in crown capped 22 oz bottles. Mentioned it to a buddy at homebrew club last week and he was like “don’t do that! They’ll explode on the way up!”. Doesn’t make sense to me, but...

Every time. Too many messes.

+1 for Brulosphy and Dr Homebrew

Remind me to pass on your invite to dinner. :D Seriously, tho mate. Don’t put that in your body.

Im gonna be traveling to South FL in a couple weeks and would love any brewery suggestions in the Naples, Ft Myers or Jupiter areas. Thanks in advance!

Ive started treating my brew water with campden tabs to eliminate chloramines in my tap water. Does anyone bother treating the water they use to wash yeast from the fermenter? Only just started to play around with yeast washing/harvesting and have just boiled a gallon of tap water and let cool...

Did you use just one packet? I like to use 2 when OG > 1.050 or pump up with a starter. Curious as to benefits/risks of repitching dry yeast if you are indeed stuck at 1.03. How long have you been in fermenter? Also curious to see if a slow temp rise would affect fermentation at this point.

Hi all, Thinking of cold crashing this latest batch of pale ale in my garage. Outside temp is a mild 55 during the day and high 30s/low 40s at night (sorry east coasters). Wondering if those temps are cold enough to drop anything out of this brew. Also interested in thoughts on minimum time to...
