I just got my BrewPi up and running and wanted to add an LCD to be able to check temps at a glance. It was quite the chore to get the BrewPi software up and running correctly since Im using a new Pi Zero W and there was a compatibility issue with the OS. I found the thread describing what...

I am trying to wire up my brewpi according to the diagram in the 1st photo. My question is; since I am using connecting wires with male or female ends on them, I cant put 2 wires on the ground pin on the SSR (I suppose I could cut the connector ends off and solder them but I dont have a...

I am brewing a saison today and want to keep all the flavors subtle. A good example would be like a Collete from Great Divide. I want to add chamomile as the only "spice" and let the yeast strain provide any other spice flavors and aromas. Just wondering how much would be a good...

I have a started going for a saison that im going to brew on tuesday. I have been thinking about the recipe for a little while now and what i want the final beer to taste like. I want it to be a softer, more subtle saison and not very tart and overpowering. I want any of the "spice" flavor to...

I just kegged my spicy jalapeno version of Edworts haus pale. I posted a few questions asking for advice on how to get the spice. I ended up putting 2 roughly chopped jalapenos in the last 5 minutes of the boil. I let it ferment out and when deciding if i should keg or put in secondary i...

I got backstage passes to a concert coming up to shoot some photos of the acts. Im by no means a photographer...just a right place right time, knowing the right person type thing. I was wondering what speed film i should use (yes i still shoot on 35mm). I have an old Canon AE1 Program and a...

Im going to put my jalapneo pale ale in the secondary today to add more heat to the already nice jalepeno flavor. I was wondering how i would go about pasteurizing the jalapenos before throwing them in. I also want to add crushed red pepper flakes but I am doubting whether those need to be...

That time of year again for Founders Black Party, that celebrates all their darkest of the dark. They will have the KBS, Imperial Stout, a Black IPA, and many others! It will be great after Hopcats Beer school on the topic of farmhouse ales.

Last night in Conklin, Mi, Lunasa played for just over 100 people. I was one of those lucky folks. Absolutely world class musicians. They went from playing for about 20,000 people in France, to a tiny Irish pub out in the country in Conklin. Any other Lunasa fans out there? I feel so lucky...

I've looked around quite a bit but cant seem to find a complete Orval clove recipe. If anyone could help me out that would be great. Preferably a complete recipe with mash schedule and everything. I plan on using Brett Brux. in the secondary. Thats all I know so far but a full recipe would...

Today I brewed what I want to eventually become a somewhat spicy jalapeno pale ale. I used Edwort's Haus Pale, but put 2 chopped up jalapenos in the kettle with 5 minutes left in the boil. When i tested the OG before putting it in the fermenter, there was really no heat. There was a little...

Im currently online shopping for what pieces i need for my keg system. All i need is the CO2 bottle and a regulator. Ive read some stuff on here about some of these sites being not quite what they should be. Anything I should steer away from?

I took the concise course in brewing technology last summer and was wondering if anyone has taken anything similar and if it has led to anything professional for you.

I did a search for similar posts but didnt find anything....i ran out of propane about 40 minutes into the boil. I just ran out and got the tank exchanged and continued boiling. any big problems with this?

Hey everyone, Im workin on building a recipe for a 'smells like weed' beer. Ive had a couple of commercial examples including "smells like weed" from Dark Horse in Marshall, Mi and "the Chronic" from Founders in Grand Rapids, Mi. From what I've gathered it is pretty much an IPA recipe...

I want to tap my keg of Irish Red tonight but know that it will take quite some time to finish the whole 5 gallon keg. Will it be a problem to leave the co2 charger on the keg for, say, a week? 2 weeks?

I just recently saw a thread regarding this but couldnt track it down. Im making a guinness clone and am going to keg it but dont have the co2 bottle and the whole set up yet so im going to use a hand charger. I plan on priming with sugar in the keg and using a hand charger to push the beer...

Im working on getting together with a friend of mine who is a chef to do a beer and food dinner for a few friends. Im gonna stick with the classics such as oysters and stout. I recently got a great deal on some Orval and definitely want to include that beer on the menu. I've had it once...

Anyone got any rad beer/brewing tattoos? The impulse to get one is in the back of my mind but havent really come up with anything that i want on me forever.

I have a delicious breakfast stout ready to be bottled/kegged in another week. I have yet to buy the keg system (tank, manifold, etc...) and was wondering if i put the beer in a corny keg for the time being, if there was some device that would allow me to drink the beer without having the...
