I built my keezer a couple months ago and chose to attach the collar to the body. I had originally wanted to have the collar on the lid but the top of the body had a much more level and wider surface to attach the collar than the bottom of the lid. I was able to leave the rubber seal where it...

I figured if you can crush grain with a pasta maker or make a stirplate from a computer fan what says you can't throw some grain in the dryer? My wife already hit me with a resounding NO so I thought I'd see if anyone else has tried it. Some time ago I put some hop pellets in a dish as potpourri...

I was talking to my Dad the other day over a homebrew and he mentioned that back before the days of the local homebrew store it was hard to come by malt other than base malt. He said he knew of people who would roast their own malt by throwing some 2 row in a pillow case and putting it in the...

Welcome to HBT. I just finished up with VT-6 in Milton and I move to Corpus to start multi's in August. There are a lot of military homebrewers in Corpus. PM me if you'd like. As far as your question, make sure you are fermenting at the right temps. Fermentation at higher temps goes faster...

Up at Whiting Field in Milton. Should finish up next month.

Greetings from sunny Pensacola, FL. I've been brewing for a little over 3 years now and recently made the switch to AG. I have to say this site is the best source of brew knowledge around. :rockin: I'm from the Denver area, went to school in Maryland, and now in the Navy. I look forward to...
