Hey guys, I've been calling just about every welder in town with no luck. I live in the Christiansburg area of Virginia and am starting to think I am the only one in the area with a keggerator. Does anyone know where I can get a 5 lb tank filled? Thanks,

I brewed my first 10 gallon batch a coupe days ago. It was Jamil's Reprobate American Stout, and it was supposed to have an O.G. of 1.073. My plan was to rehydrate a packet of Notty and a packet of Safale 05, and split it into two 5 gallon batches. My mash ton was nearly overflowing, but I...

Brewing Jamil's Cream Ale and it calls for 1 oz of Liberty @ 60 minutes, and .5 oz Liberty @ 1 minute. In Beertools Pro, the AA% for liberty is set at 4%, however the Liberty that I have is only 3% putting my IBU's at 9.5. do I need to up the hops in order to get the correct profile for this...

I was going to brew Jamil's Cream Ale recipe this afternoon on a whim so obviously I never made a starter. Here's the grain bill: 5lbs Pilsner malt 5lbs 2-row Pale 1lb Corn Flaked (Maiz) 1lb table sugar The recipe calls for WLP001. would you just pitch a vial? or substitute a dry...

On their website, I noticed all the recipes in the recipe section but found it odd that there was no way to download the .btp version to use in the software. Is there a way to do this that i seem to be missing? I'd like to be able to plug the recipe in so that I can apply it to my...

ok so i just mashed over 13 lbs of grain and have collected all the liquor. Ive got just over 6 gallons in my kettle and its reading 1.030! i dont get it.. this is supposed to be a 1.070 beer according to BeerTools.. even if i boil a gallon off, isnt 1.030 still too low? should I add some DME...

hey guys, first AG batch here, and I want to hit my temperature right the first time. I bought BeerTools last night, but it seems i have to learn about it a littler better before i can do it myself. Anyway, if my cooler is a 50qt, and my total grist is 13.32 lbs @ 72º ., what would my...

A while back I made a Winter Warmer to take up north for the holidays. It called to bottle with blackstrap molasses, and it came out great. It wasn't over carbed or anything, but I think the 900 mile trunk ride (up and back), and the freezing temperatures may have contributed to this. After...

Saw this on the Yahoo home page. Make sure to filter that water twice if you live in Jacksonville, FL ;-) TOP 10 BEST and WORST

I bought the Russian Imperial Stout kit from Brewer's Best. The O.G. is going to be anywhere between 1.078 - 1.082. I normally always make a starter for a gravity as big as this, but i wasn't able to make one yesterday and this is the only day I have to brew. I'm replacing the dry yeast...

Hey guys., I made this winter warmer recipe that had 7 lbs of dry amber malt, 2 lbs of raw honey, and these specialty grains (1 lb Crystal 60L, 1/2lb dextrine malt, 2 oz chocolate, 2 oz roasted barley, 1/2 lb torrefied wheat) When I took my sample before pitching, it read 1.118 which is a...

sorry double post., please delete/disregard

In the Apfelwein thread, Edwort says to put a quart of Apfelwein in a sauce pan and simmer it with turbinado sugar, rum, and a cinnamon stick, but doesnt really give proportions. I definitely wanna try this out this winter. Does anybody have any good grog recipes using Apfelwein? thanks!:mug:

I tried to brew an ESB tonight and i used a mini-mash method. Problem is, my starting gravity is 1.034. This seems way to low to me. This was a recipe from a book at the brew store and i forgot to check what the target gravity was. heres the grain bill: 3 lbs Marris Otter Pale Malt 3/4 lb...

I travel almost non stop which sucks sometimes but is great because I can try great beer from all over the country. I am in the baltimore/ D.C. area right now and decided to try the Oxford Hefe by Clipper City Brew. I stopped at a small liquor store called GI Liquor in Morningside, MD (the...

I was sitting in my hotel room this weekend with nothing to do but browse HBT. I read the DYI Stir plate thread and decided to give it a go. Now I'm pretty far from home so I had to buy everything. Its almost done but I still have a couple questions. I bought everything from the original list...

I picked up a sixer of SN's ESB tonight ,and call me crazy, maybe i just worked too hard today but does this remind anybody of Anchor Steam? Its similar in color, and after my first sip I immediately thought of Anchor Steam. Definitely twice as bitter, but they almost finish the same for me.

Hey guys, I'm going to try my first fruit beer tomorrow and am still a little uncertain of a few things that maybe you could help me out with. Im going to be attempting a cheery wheat (extract). Here is what I have on hand: 3/4 lb. Munich (light) Grain - Weyermann 3/4 lb. White Wheat...

Hey guys, Im moving my IPA over to secondary today which frees up my primary. My girl said she'd like to try a Cherry Wheat, and i think that sounds like a good idea seeing how we both like Sam Adams version. Has anyone made a great Cherry Wheat that they'd care to share with me? I saw the...

When I first signed onto HBT, I never had any plans to make this. That was until I saw the massive amount of threads on the subject. It seems every brew signature has "EdWorts Apfelwein" in it somewhere. I had to know what all the fuss was about so i started a 2 gallon batch. They both have been...
