I found an all-grain brew kit in my basement from last summer. I don't know how I missed this one. The grains are in one seemingly airtight plastic bag. They look good. I didn't notice any wetness of or critters in it. Do you think I can use it, or should I just throw it out?

I was racking some ale a few nights ago and my neighbor stopped by. He nearly lost his mind when he saw me take an empty carboy, rise it with hot tap water, and rack my brew into it. He claims I am just asking to infect an otherwise good batch of beer. Now, the carboy wasn't exactly dirty...

My all-grain kits from Austin arrive tomorrow. I ordered them without yeast as I was afraid the yeast would be ruined sitting in a truck over the holiday weekend. I can get yeast at my local HBS. Do any of you have any tips to make my first Austin experience a positive one? I have done only...

I picked up a 25lb full CO2 tank, gauge, new lines, tower, tap, cleaning kit and some other assorted bits for $25. It was my latest craigslist find. Add this to the two working $100 kegerators and the complete all-grain system I found there. I think it's gonna be a good summer!

I have been an extract and partial brewer for several years. I have been staring at a recipe on this forum for some time, and I broke down today and bought the ingredients. Here's what I want to make: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/sunset-wheat-clone-59460/ I see the author hasn't...

Well, I picked up a kegerator tonight. It was a CL deal. It's a vintage (maybe 1970?) kegerator. It's in surprisingly good condition. It came with new lines and a full, new CO2 tank and Cornelius single dial regulator. The seller bought it, couldn't get it to work and then listed it for sale...
