So my current process is to oxygenate with pure O2 through a stone for tiny bubbles for 60 seconds, then I cap my carboy and shake like crazy. I figure that any pure O2 that bubbled up through the wort will be remixed into the wort during the shake-up. After discussing this with another...

This is the 1st time using 1469 yeast. I have an ordinary english bitter in the fermentor (3.7%) abv beer. It's almost down to terminal gravity 1.014 last night and I have been ramping up temps as usual to allow the yeast to finish, but I want to brew an english barleywine this thurs and pitch...

So I burned up my 3/8 drill on my last brew day running my barley crusher mill. I thought about getting the harbor freight special 1/2 drive corded drill, but I have this bread machine that I never use...then I got to thinking (stand back) those bread machines have to be pretty tourqey and they...

I keg my beer, but sometimes I want to save a few bottles.I would like to start gassing my bottles with co2 before filling them.My thought was to maybe make something that would make a carbonator cap fit snugly onto the top of the bottle like a rubber stopper. Then hookup my co2 to it and vent...

So I am planning on brewing an oatmeal stout with flaked oats that I was going to toast. My lhbs was out of the flaked oats and recommended that I go pick up some quaker "quick oats". In the process of weighing them out, I noticed that they had a nice tan color to them and had that cookie aroma...

My kegged beers always seem a little under carbed, even after 3 weeks on the gas in the fridge with my regulator set at 12 psi. I was thinking about getting a shrader valve and hook it onto one of the lines coming off the regulator and getting an accurate tire pressure gauge to check / calibrate...

Just curious how people handle brewing the same recipe over again and using beersmith. I'm kind of torn between creating a whole new file and modifying an existing file with notes from my latest version of a particular beer.Sometimes I will modify a recipe, but the problem is not being able to...

I am making my 1st barleywine pitched onto a yeast cake from a 5 % amber ale (1056) . OG was 1.086 and after 8 days no more bubbling. Checked gravity and it was 1.017. I mashed at 148 for 90 minutes and used pure o2 to oxygenate at pitching time and again the next day. Is this normal? I've been...

This will be my first barleywine and I love munich malt....I put this recipe together last night on beersmith. I just wanted to run this past the HBT community to see if there are any obvious improvements I could make to this before I go ahead with it. It says american barleywine , but I'm not...

Hey all, I've got 3 second year plants already starting to sprout little cones....just trying to plan ahead for harvest time how I'm going to dry them. My problem is that I live in a fairly humid area (GA) . I was thinking about putting them on a screen in the attic somewhere close to the attic...

I only had room for 1 fermenter before which limited my brewing.... Not good enough , so I put together some scraps I had laying around with a little insulation .... an old computer fan and blamo! Doubled my capacity! I only spent about 12 bucks on insulation and construction adhesive ...

Been brewing all grain for about 2 years , but for some reason my hoppy beers suck, but my malt forward beers are great... I think I use either too many or too little hops.So here's my 3rd attempt at my house IPA...how does it look? Brew Type: All Grain Date: 3/25/2011 Style: English...

I'm doing a 1.051 cream ale with an 11 lb grain bill. I have a 48 qt cooler mash tun and a 10 gallon kettle. I would like double this recipe and get 2 5 gallon batches for 2 seperate fermenters. I want them both to be the same beer.I've read about partigyle brewing , but that seems to be more...

I have a small 5 cf chest freezer w/ a ranco I use as a ferm chamber. For the last year I have been wanting to ferment 2 batches at the same time, but only 1 bucket would fit. So I built a box out of 3/4 in. plywood w/ some foam insulation sheets for the inside of the box to fit over the opening...

I'm getting ready to do a Flanders Red based on JZ's recipe, and after doing a little reasearch I've decided to make 2 seperate batches....only difference between the 2 will be 1 with wlp001 only for the initial ferment , then add the rosaleare in the secondary.....then the other batch will just...

I`ve been using beersmith for about a year now, but I can`t figure out how to make it adjust the gravity when I go from a 60 minute boil to a 90 minute boil.Is there some setting to make this work?:confused:It seems to me that it should be able to look at your boil off rate settings, your...

I`m not completely satisfied with my hop utilization, and I`ve made about 12 batches so far.I have an IC and don`t want to upgrade to a cfc or march pump.I just wanted to see if anyone has any techniques to get that same effect as using a hopback without actually having one....any good...

this is my first year growing hops.My cascades have reached the top of the v shaped rope I have strung from the ground to my deck railing.Should I now keep the excess trimmed?I was thinking about running more twine from 1 side of the v to the other and let the bines cross over and then back down...
