Saw some green swingtops at Trader Joe's the other day. Filled with Ginger Ale, but had me thinking; at $2.99 each, it is cheaper than trying the LHBS or looking for swing top beers to collect the bottles. Anyone tried these?

Was YouTube surfing last night, SWMBO comes in and starts saying that homebrew and beer is becoming an obsession. Found a home wine making video, she actually started to pay attention. I have a 2 bucket system and am willing to sacrifice one to her wishes. Now she's looking a plum wine recipe...

Any brewers in San Mateo? If so, let's organize a clinic for noobs (me included). I'd love to learn better techniques and how to build a recipe.

I'm trying to think of a recipe that could be considered a Corellian Ale, any ideas?

Dear wizards of the fermentation arts, I believe my Brown Ale is stuck... after 2 days of vigorous yeast activity, and the airlock going absolutely crazy, I now seem to have only a few bubbles every 45bto 50 seconds or so. I peeked inside the fermenter (using 5gal white plastic bucket) and saw...

Hey everyone, I finally got my first brew day. I did a BIAB partial mash. Unfortunately I ran out of propane at 7 minutes left on my boil...ok lack of planning. I also saw that my system of filling up the sink with cold tap, drain and repeat, didn't get my brew cold fast enough to be certain...

I finally got a brew day, making a Newcastle clone doing a partial mash.

Hey guys, any peeps from the San Mateo area? I'm in San Bruno, get supplies either Amazon or the SF Brewcraft. Need closer suppliers.

so, I just got an igloo 5 gallon beverage cooler from Lowes to use as a mash tun, haven't done anything to it yet and was wondering if using the 5 gallon paint strainer bags would be viable for the grain mash. I'm starting with a partial mash recipe for an English Brown ale that I want to do...

Hey guys, I found a 32qt aluminium stock pot at a Mexican produce store, would this work to boil my wort?

Hey everyone, I'm posting this because I now have a dilemma after upgrading to 5 gallons from the MrBeer kit. Glass stoves are not good for the boil, and can't seem to find a cheap or used propane burner. I know the burner on my grill is not up to the task so I was thinking of making a small...

He folks, new guy here and new to brewing. I caught the bug a few years ago with a little Mr. Beer kit. I just upgraded to a 5 gallon system from my local brew craft store and want to start up again. I'll be posting a lot of questions, lol, please be patient with me.
