So, we haven't had much time to brew the past couple of months, but managed to brew twice last month. Just got the water bill. Ouch! We only brewed two 5-gallon batches, and put the chill water to good use on the vegetable and flower gardens, but still... the bill was double what we're use to...

So, I know it's only Monday, but the first Saturday of May (the 4th) is fast approaching... and that means observance of National Homebrew Day (technically it's the 7th)!!! So, what's everyone brewing? Where'd you get your ingredients? Are you making it a bigger thing with friends or just...

Anyone in Charleston have a good suggestion of where we can get our CO2 tank filled or replaced? Airgas in N.CHS and Alcam Inc in MP are all I see in the area, but wanna know who brewers prefer. Cheers!

...is there one? A community of homebrewers, I mean. I found the Lowcountry Libations Homebrew Club in a google search, but that site hasn't been updated since 2010. So, who around here brews? We just moved down here and looking to meet new people of the homebrewing persuasion. Cheers! A

Hi there. I've read many posts regarding when to add the Lactose, but still am not getting an answer to the questions I have. So, here we are... I made the below clone of a Young's Double Chocolate Stout. The first time I made this, I added the lactose at the start of the boil. It didn't come...

Hi there. Been a while since I brewed and scratched my head at the same time, but here I am trying something a lil new. I'm making a Community Coffee Chicory Stout. Now, I've done this before, and it turned out great. My first go'round, I used about 12 oz. of grains in the steeping stage. This...

Hellooo, Ok, so I'm trying my best to figure myself out when it comes to the hydrometer readings and final gravity and all that stuff. I'm not simply asking for the answer, but to also understand how it's figured out. I made a Bell's HopSlam IPA (and it smells and tastes great!), with a...

So, we just brewed ourselves an all grain Belgian White. Sort of an Allagash clone - a lovely lil brew with fresh ginger, orange peel and coriander seed. But, of course it needs to ferment at 65º. Looked around on here and saw a lot of great ideas for fermentation chambers. So, decided to fix...

Hi all! I'm stuck without details. I ran to the area homebrew shop yesterday and grabbed the ingredients for an ESB. The people there were nice enough to tell me what I needed, and let me write down the gist of of Brewing Classics Syle book, but I see now that I didn't write (or maybe even...

Hellooo again. So, I was just curious of any Brooklyn folks on here and what y'all think about the Brooklyn Homebrew Shop, as well as Brooklyn Brew - the kids that are selling in the Brooklyn Flea. We actually started our homebrewing by buying a kit and batch of the Brooklyn Brew Chocolate...

Howdy. As I still have the homebrew obsession, I'm allowing it to lead me into many a DIY projects. Other than the labels (still working on the woodcut for that), I decided to try my hands at carboy covers. I'm probably one of the only chicks on here, but I don't care - a lot of you have...

Hi all, Ok, so I'm a big fan of Abita's Purple Haze, so of course it was only a matter of time before I went for a raspberry wheat kit. (I'm still new at this.) I should have come on here sooner to read up on what all of you have to say, but... I didn't. So, here I am asking this: I'm a...

Hi. So, here we go: A few weeks ago, a buddy of mine loaned and helped me keg a Pilsner into one of his 5gal corny kegs. I followed to the T what I was suppose to do. Turned out, there was just the slightest lil leak going on that I failed to notice til about two weeks later. Shift a few weeks...

Hello. I've just made my 5th batch (an amber) last night, and woke this morning to find krausen run a muck. I've changed the water in the blow off pot, but there's still a lot of krausen within the tube. My questions is this: Can I remove (and quickly, but temporarily, replace the seal...
