Having issues, my roommate is finishing up tiling the kitchen. He can't seem to get the tile clean, it has this cloudy haze. He is using granite specific cleaner. I thought vinegar was good, but read no acidic cleaners. Then read ammonia with no surfactants (soaps), then read no ammonia...

I planted my rhizomes Sat. and on one of them I noticed white spots, a couple others there was something similar to cob web on them. I'm not sure if this could be some type of infection or parasite. I don't want to risk the other plants. Any ideas?

After the brew name thread, I was wondering what others name their brewery after. I had a roommate that named his hooch (distilled spirits) after the street we lived on...Long Cove Distiling, and another roommate, Long Cove Brewing. I've named mine after the marsh/swamp (named after a...

I found some march pumps for a good deal. Is Kuna a food grade material sutible for transfer of hot wort? Thanks.

So trying to figure out which manifold design will give me the best flow charectoristics. Even flow in all sectiond to minimize channeling. The cross tubes (the ones not in the first pic) will not be slotted. Even spacing between sections, half distance to walls. Leaning...

I've read a bunch about people pumping the output from their chillers back into the brew kettle to chill it quicker. This seems counter intuitive to me. This would bring the entire volume thru the temperature range where it is valunerable to infections slower while exposed to the air. To me...

Oh my god... One of the guys at the brew shop brought this in last Friday. I almost came faster than the first time I had sex, and there was a little PME involved in that:ban: :( This thing had a 30 something page table of contence(sp?) in ultras fine small print. Everything from malting...

Mordern Marvels: Brewing

So I've been contemplating a cider for a while. About how many apples would be required for a 5 gallon batch? I know it will vary with type and size of apples as well as growing conditions, just a general idea. I was considering using a juicer. Opinions, options?

Anybody else run into this? When there's about 7 inches or so left it starts foaming so bad there is only about an inch of beer in the glass. Once I figured this out it comes in handy (know when to get another keg ready). But it was driving me nuts for a while when all of a sudden I was getting...

So I brewed yesterday. I've only got one Franken Tank (14 gallon fermentor), which had a brew from a week and a half prior. So I had to transfer to two carboys while I started cooking this new wort. When I opened the fermentor I saw the krausen hadn't fallen yet. There was 6 pounds of honey in...

I just picked up some coriander at a speciatly food store, then went over to the Indian food store to look for a few things the other place didn't have. Picked up a 7oz bag of indian coriander for $1.78, dried chilli's $2, all kinds of crazy spices really cheap.

I was out in Reading, PA for training llast week. I had the pleasure of getting a private tour of Legacy Brewing. Realy nice group of guys down there. I got a taste of the Hoptimus Prime. Damn is that some good stuff. A double IPA far better than any West Coast brew that I've had. Excelent...

I've been searching for the equipment so I can make wooden cases for my bottles. I'm pretty set on doing thru dovetails, but I'll be droppping quite a bit of money on this. My question goes out to all of you. If I started producing these, would you buy them. I don't know what the material...

What's wrong with using copper to chill the beer coming out of your keg (plate chiller style). I was specifically told to use stainless, not copper.

I recently made a copper false bottom in a cheap 2.5 gallon round cooler to play around with mashing my specialty grains untill I can get my brew shed built and go all grain. My question pertains to the inch to inch and a half of space I have underneath the false bottom to clear the valve...
