Brewers!!!! I'm looking but I can't find anything about a group grain purchase in MA for this summer! What's up guys? In Pittsfield we're despirate for 400lbs+ real soon. If no one has started a group grain buy thread form MA - let's start one. If there is one already going - point me to...

Anyone know if I can download the trial version of the latest Beer Tools without causing any problems with my original version? Don't know if I'll want to keep the newer version, and I don't want to screw up my older version. Cheers:mug:

Guys, I've located someone in the group who has a N Country account and who is willing to place the order for us. Now we need to decide (1) who will handle the cash and, (2) find a business shipping address with a loading dock or fork lift to receive the order. Regarding #1 - I'm willing and...

Nuts! So I was filling my picnic cooler mash tun with hot water (@176*) to pre-heat it for my mash-in. When I'd added the 7 gal I discovered that the o-ring on my drain valve was leaking, and in a panic I looked around for something to transfer the water into that would keep it clean while...

I’m currently brewing 5 gallon, batch sparged, full grain batches using a converted keg for my HLT, a 10 gallon picnic cooler for my mash tun, and a 15 gallon stainless kettle for my boil. Will this system handle a 10 gallon batch? I’ve got another converted keg that I could use for a...

Don't know how to move this so I'm re-posting. Sorry. Hi, I've been making my full-mash IPA successfully for months now with one problem. The recipe uses 5 ounces of hops and when my wort is chilled & in the fermentor it quickly settles out to about two inches of trube/hop residue in the...

Hi, I've been making my full-mash IPA successfully for months now with one problem. The recipe uses 5 ounces of hops and when my wort is chilled & in the fermentor it quickly settles out to about two inches of trube/hop residue in the bottom. I transfer to a secondary fermentor @ 7 days...

I just purchased a set of bargain fittings for my mash tun and kettle. I'm not really impressed at the quality of the installation on my mash tun, though it has no leaks (it just feels insecure). Now I'm wondering if I really want to drill a hole in my new 175.00 brew kettle. What kind...

Anyone know of any good prices on copper for a wort chiller? Best I could find was coppertubingsales: 50' of 1/2" tubing @ 70.00 (includes shipping). Thanks:mug:

I create my wort using a 4 gal pot, adding half my LME at the beginning and the rest at flameout, and then top-off my fermentor to 5.5 gallons. That way when I transfer from my primary, leaving my yeast behind, I have a full five gallons of beer. So, am I brewing a 5 gallon batch or a 5.5...

That's my question. If purchase Brewsmith is that it, I own it, or do I have to keep paying a yearly fee to use it? Thanks

Just wonderin: I'm brewing the Zainasheff/Plamer APA from Brewing Classic Styles. Using liquid yeast (WLP001) and at 8 days in fermenter I still have a heavy croisen, a good inch and a half thick, on top of my wort. Gravity is down to 1.015. Should be well done fermenting I'd think but I...

I emailed Muntons and asked them to explain the numbers on the can in relation to the date the product was manufactured. I got the following response. I give high points to Munton's customer service. Correspondence follows: To: [email protected] Subject: use by date? I frequently use...

Hi all, I've read that it's important to buy fresh ingredents, including malt extract. I asked my HBS about a freshness or use by date on the cans of malt extract, and he said that he didn't know of any. The cans of extract (Muntons) that he sells have all kinds of numbers printed on them...

Yep? Another dumb newbe question. True Brew Irish Stout Kit. Followed the directions carefully - but: My Russian stout has been in the fermentor for a week. Just opened it and took a reading and got 1.021. I tasted the wert sample before discarding it and whew - it was black and...
