Hi, I received a black lager kit and brewed it. As I was sanitizing my 6 gallon carboy, I realized that the it had a crack in it. So, I had no choice to but use the fermzilla that I recently received as a gift. I was waiting to look at a bunch of videos so I would be sure how to use it. It...

Hi. Bought a stout kit early in the week in hopes of getting it before the weekend. They didn't ship it fast and it sat all weekend in transit. I bought liquid yeast with a cold pack and was afraid it killed all my yeast. I brewed, and it looked like the yeast in bag inside of the sealed bag...

i bought a milk stout extract kit from Austin Homebrew. Same kit that I had brewed in April, and I wanted to do it again. Without thinking, I hit the reorder button. Well, temperatures were milder in April, and both time I bought Wyeast with a cold pack. When I opened the kit today, the cold...

I recently went to Orlando to Universal. I had a beer named Too Stout from the Chocolate Emporium. I think it is actually the Florida Brewing Company’s Too Chocolate Stout. I am looking for an extract clone of this. Any Recommendations?

Hey. When i first built my fermentation chamber, there was a video that I found of someone wiring an Auberins temperature controller into an extension cord. You could set it to switch power to your refrigerator off and on depending on temperature. And i had a light bulb inside that would cut...

Recently had a weekend in NOLA. Ate at Meril's and sampled Chafunkta Old 504 Porter there. Could not find it in any stores that I was close to while there. I emailed the brewery in Mandeville asking for recipe, but got no response. Anyone know or have a recipe for this beer? Anyone from...

Hey guys. Recently at in New Orleans at the new Emeril's restaurant called Meril"s. There I tried a local beer from the Chafunkta brewing company called Chafunkta Old 504 Porter. It was a coffee and vanilla infused porter and was delicious. I would love to make this. Anyone else hear about...

Was brewing a chocolate stout. When I was done, I realized the temperature controller was out in my fermenter in my shop. So I brought it in the house. On the second night, the water seal blew. Now, here is my problem that I need help with. Some of the black/brown wort got on the plaster...

Hi. Love my home brewing. Love the good flavored beers. My favorite beers is my double chocolate stout in the fall.....Clone of the Great Dane's Crop Circle Wheat. Time has not been kind to me and I have been gaining weight. I have recently started a low carb diet. Only beers I have been...

My faucets on my keezer keep sticking. I want to change them out. I heard to buy perlick. Is there a particular that is better than others with not sticking?

I have been making 5 gallon brews. I have 2 pulls on my keezer and 10 gallons of beer is just too much for me. I have been wasting good beer. I was wondering if anyone has recipes or extract kits for smaller brews? 1 or 2.5 gallon brews? Thanks for your input.

I had a valve in my Keezer stick. I actually broke a pull when trying to unstick it. I started to look at buying a pull, but couldn't find any that I like that was affordable. What do you guys have? Where did you buy? Any plans for making your own?

I have been brewing for a couple of years now, but still consider myself a noob. I have not found anyone in my area to talk to about brewing and ask questions. I usually buy my kits from Austin Homebrew. I like using them because I can call and ask them questions. They have always been nice and...

The little woman really liked the MGD 64 Lemonade that was out last summer. I cannot find it anywhere in my town. Not sure if they are still making it. So she asks if I can make it. So, after some searches, I could not find a recipe for it. Anyone have one? Thanks.

Was trying to find an extract kit cloning the Great Dane's Crop Circle Wheat. The wife and I was able to travel to Madison, WI last year and fell in love with the Great Dane. We are nostalgic for their crop circle wheat. Right now, i am not finished with my HERMS, so I was wondering if any of...

I brewed a lager kit from Austin. I did it in December. I moved it to secondary, everything fine. Christmas and family obligations happened, and didn't have time to keg it. It's been in my fermenting fridge at 43 degrees. When I went to look at it, it looked liked some stuff was growing on top...

I was wanting to ask a noob question. I am building my HERMS unit. I am copying Blackheart's build. He advocated using low flow natural gas for his burners. Cheaper, cleaner, etc. Use less too. Well, natural gas is not available in my area. I was wondering if I could get a tank and fill it like...

Hey, i just ruined a Better Bottle. After putting my wort in my better bottle, I would then attempt to airate it. I would do this by rolling the bottle on the bottom edge, making a whirlpool effect inside the bottle. I would do this for 5 to 10 minutes. After my last brew, I had a ring inside...

ok, I'm new to home brewing. I have finished 4 kits. First kit was an IPA from Austin Homebrew. Second kit was a Wheat Ale from Northern Brewers. Ok, had no problems, liked both brews. Then I bought a light lager kit from Austin, had it fermented and in the keg conditioning, then bought a blonde...
