I recently got the book 'The Craft of Stone Brewing Co.' My wife 'requested' (read let me use joint account funds :)) to brew the smoked porter (one of her favs). The recipie shown word for word here calls for a 10min mash at 157 followed jumping to 165(mash out?) and then lautering. I've...

Easy question, but I wasn't able to find it. I'm sure the 'similar threads' at the bottom will probably have it. (Its better then search!) I want to monitor the pressure in a corny keg that may or may not be attached to gas. Basically a low pressure gauge connected to a quick disconnect, but...

Over at ebay there is a guys selling a bunch of march pumps. http://cgi.ebay.com/March-Recirculating-Pump-Ball-Bearing-Magnetic-Drive-/200459743883?cmd=ViewItem&pt=BI_Pumps&hash=item2eac54f28b#ht_4306wt_911 Is this what I would want to use for doing mash recirculation and sparge water?

So I'm trying a clone Deshutes Black Butte. First porter, first liquid yeast. I actually had a bit more then I was planning so it was pretty high in the 3gal better bottle. I woke up in the morning with some pre-porter in the airlock and figured I'd better rig up a blow off tube stat. I've seen...

Other then not hitting your OG because of less boil off does anyone know of any other issues with boiling with the lid on the brew pot?

So I'm a newbie and I was sitting looking at the beer the other night. Its been in the fermenter for about 12 days. SA-05. The krausen rose and fell and now the surface has a little pond scum on it but nothing else. There is also no airlock activity. I took at sample at 7 days and it had gone...

So when I was doing extract I had 'steeping grains'. Now I'm trying to do AG and the recipes call for the same type of grains. Are they still 'steeping grains' meaning that I should mash the base grains and then steep the others like the crystal 40? or should they all be mashed at the same time?

I've done two beers recently/ever and both have ended up smelling like belgians. Problem is one was an APA and the other a 'classic english ale'. Both are Brewers best extract kits. Dose that smell indicate anything? Now I'll list the myriad of ways I screwed them up :) Fist batch: pitched at...

So I've got a Haier NuCool sitting in the corner of my apartment that acts to regulate my frementation temps. Its internal usable dimensions are on the order of 12x14x24. I'd like to get two fermenters in there somehow. I'd like to do 2-2.5 gallon batches and be able to do two at a time. Or if I...
