Alright, I'm curious about the different parts of my yeast starter. I'm thinking that it's like this: 1 - wort 2 - yeast 3 - sediment from malt extract Is that correct?

So, I just built a single tier brew stand. I treated myself to a hopback and was really excited about it. As my batch, I decided to cast off reason, and max out the system (in terms of grain and hops used). I did an Avery Maharaja Clone. While I started off trying to brew a 5 gallon batch, I...

I finally finished my brew stand. Check out the pictures. Tell me how awesome it is. Tell me what I've done wrong. Enjoy!

Hello knowledgeable people, I think I'm ruined my wort chiller... :( I baked it in the oven at some temperature I don't remember for an amount of time I don't remember. It was months ago after I had only used it a few times. Black oily stuff bubbled out, and the wort chiller itself changed...

Currently I'm brewing 5 gallon batches in a 7.5 gallon pot so its... 5gB : 7.5gP I'm thinking about getting a large boil pot, so whats your ratio?

Brew Standers, I'm designing and buying all the parts for a single tier brew stand. I'm up the the dough in step. Whats the best way for getting the mash water to the grain? The easiest solution would be to run all water into the mash tun thru my sparge arm, but is this the best idea? My...

Alright, I'm going to start my brew stand. I want to do a single tier, and I'm going to stay with the 5 gallon size. Is this: http://bayouclassicdepot.com/tb650_triple_propane_burner.htm a good place to start? I'm sure there are cheaper ways to get all of that, but for simplicity why not...

So I went to clean my wort chiller. It used to be nice and silver.. I tossed it in the oven for an hour at around 900 degrees F. It started to eject some dark hoppy looking liquid. Now it looks like this: What do you guys think? Is this ruined? What should I do before i...

I find myself in the position of only being able to lager this time of year, but all I want to make are hoppy beers. The reality is that I find Stone Ruination about in the middle of where I like a beer to be hop-wise. I need suggestions for recipes that are lagers, but have that kickin amount...

Hop Vodka I said! I heard someone talking about this somewhere, basicbrewingradio? here in this forum? So I picked up a 375ml bottle of Grey Goose, and tossed some hops in there. I remember my unknown sorce saying that they added only a few hop flowers. For reasons not worth rehashing here...

Here's my idea. I've wanted to do the northernbrewer 'New Old Ale' kit. 12 lbs. Maris Otter 0.5 lbs. Simpsons Dark Crystal 0.5 lbs. Golden Naked Oats 1 lbs. Dark Belgian Candi Sugar (end of boil) 1 oz. Galena (60 min) Wyeast #1084 Irish Ale Yeast But I've been on a hop kick, and I...

Ok, I've had more than 20 batches go into kegs, and some, about 50% have a thick layer of syrup on the bottom when I finish them off. Brown ales, pale ales, IPA, extract, AG, and a stout that I can remember. It's not hard to wash out, just putting a few cups of warm water in the keg, and...
