Ok, I know I'm overlooking this, and I've used the search function tirelessly and could probably find my answer in video format if I wasn't stuck on slow internet. When using an electric HERMs, after your mash is over, and you want to mash out and begin the sparge, what is the process? I...

I've never had this happen before, thought I'd throw it out here for the group. Three weeks ago I brewed an amarillo APA. i don't normally cold crash my beers, though I occassionally use gelatin finings to clear them a little before I keg. Also my beers are typically pretty cloudy for the...

About six months ago I bought a 4 keg pack from one of our great members here. I used three of the kegs many times but had not had 20g going at once and had not had a need to use the third until this week. When taking off the gas post to replace the gas tube o-ring, a small piece of white...

I've got a RIS that I brewed about 5 weeks ago sitting in primary. I really want to hold off drinking this thing until later in the year. I would like to free up the fermenters, and get the RIS into a "set it and forget it" mode. Is it possible to keg this and store it away for 6 months...

I have to credit Jeff at garagebrewers.com for this recipe. Several weeks ago I felt like brewing I asked Jeff what I should brew and gave him an ingredients list (I wanted to brew with what I had on hand and only what I had on hand)....knowing that I'm a hop head this is what he came up with...

Anyone here layer any bines for the specific purpose of producing Rhizomes? If so I have a few questions...... 1. How long do you let a bine grow before laying it down? 2. How deep do you bury it, just enough to cover it? 3. How many Rhizomes can you expect out of a layered bine...

I've got a couple questions regarding scale for those of you who have been around the block a few times. I have a small tract of farm land that my wife and I bought (about 10 acres) and built our house on. I have a clearing behind our home that I would like to put a small scale hop farm...

Started sampling the Nut Brown I brewed two months ago today. My first impression was "eh". However my 2nd 12oz impression was "hmm".. My third 12oz impression has been "mmmm".

Well today hit 70 degrees in mid missouri...typically in the low 30's this time of year. I brewed up a 5 gallon all-grain Hefe. Hit all my numbers with no problems and was very close on the OG 1.42 vs 1.44. If that wasn't good enough, I had glass after glass of my first kegged home...

I've got a kenmore elite (appears to be the same in every single respect as the popular sanyo conversion). I have 20lb tank and a large double regulator that is set-up on a long gas hose (came off a wonderbar soda machine bag-in-box system, soon to be listed in the classified section). I...

I just kegged a cream ale, my first all grain brew. I did a half-ased force kegging (30 psi, shake shake shake, 30 psi shake shake shake repeat repeat repeat). I then cranked down to about 10 psi. It's not all the way down to temp yet (only been in the fridge for a few hours) and it's only...

Should have known better than to order stuff the week of a holiday, especially the week AFTER a holiday. I've got ingredients (including liquid yeast) on their way from MN, left on Tuesday but because of the holiday they were held over, no problem except it's 2 hours past the time UPS...

So thought I ordered a 1000ml flask off northern brewer, but I looked at my order online and it wasn't there. So I'm planning a beer this coming week and wanted to try a starter of some of the yeast I washed a few weeks ago. Can I boil my starter wort in a pot on the stove, cool it, then...

I've not seen this anywhere, however I'm sure it's been covered at some point, my search didn't yield anything usable. During the hot break, when the wort foams up, alot of the hops (pellets anyway) seem to stick to the sides of the boiling vessel. I typically scrap them back down into the...

The ranks of All Grain brewers.. Well, I'm part way there. My first ever batch (cream ale) is in the MT as we speak (thanks to HBT for the DIY)....My sparge water is heating up on the stove, and (good thing I remember) my water hose is in the garage thawing out so it will be ready later when...

On Tuesday I had a nuclear stress test and a "potential" blockage was discovered. I was scheduled for a cardiac catheterization for Thursday. At the time I had a nut brown that would have been in primary for 1 week on Wednesday. I wanted to try my hand at washing yeast, and with the...
