I would like to use a heat tolerant yeast, so looks like US-05 would work. But what about using it in Reds, IPAs, and Belgium style beer? Is there a liquid yeast equivalent?

I wonder this as well. I just did a double batch and pitched the wrong yeast in both. After doing some research and calling the vendor I got the kits from, it really didn't matter. I know some beers like a Hefe require a specific yeast, but can you use one type of yeast for most of your...

Yes, homebrewing peaked my interest awhile back and I started gathering my gear and getting some info... That's when I joined this website. Then comes baby #1. And then, baby #2. Tried a few times between now and then to get going, but could never really get a full head of steam. Time was never...

Easy is good. I entertained the partial-mash idea and may have to revisit it. Also thought about BIAB too. After I get a few more extracts under my belt, I may give one of them a go. Thanks for the advice.

Just bought it. Looking forward to diving in.

And there you go! Thanks! Along with what flars recommended, those are the types of answers I would love to see in the materials I am looking for.

Thanks! Gonna dive into those sites. Interested in your quote about "...some study,...". I don't mind digging-in. Any thoughts on specific materials I should read? I saw "Designing Great Beers" by Daniels, but didn't know if it was applicable?

Awesome! Would love to have any of this... In!

Can't do any all-grain brewing because of space limitations, so I am sticking to extracts for now. Besides, I am still a noob and want to tinker with my process before I proceed to anything more labor intensive. But, my curiosity has me wondering about the the options I have when working with...

After much debate, getting a 5.1 cu. ft. Igloo cooler for my keezer build. Had to go with the smaller one do to the size of my man-cave. :mad: Anyway, I want to do I three tap build, but will need a collar to fit the 3rd keg since it will have to go on the compressor ledge. My questions: Should...

Roger that... Thanks!

Howdy! Looking to start kegging and want to get a 10 cu. ft. refrigerator/freezer due to space limitations... At a minimum I want two taps, but was wondering if there'd be enough room in one to have a fermenter going? If not, what would be the minimum size of a chest freezer to run to carnies...

So, I am going to start kegging right off the bat and will buy a starter 2-keg system. There are quite a few freezers and fridges on Craiglists in my area and I want to get one for fermenting and dispensing beer. Are there any pros/cons of getting a chest freezer? Stand up? Is the temp...

Thanks! False bottom?

I found these. Anyone have an opinion on them? http://store.homebrewheaven.com/brewpot-spigot-kit-installed-p204.aspx http://store.homebrewheaven.com/brewpot-spigot-kit-installed-p204.aspx Why would/wouldn't I get one with a spigot? Thanks in advance. Ken

Thanks for all the info. It's much appreciated! What type of plastic bins? Will trash cans work?

Yup, been to Annapolis Homebrew... That's where I got my equipment. :) Also, I've visited the Maryland Homebrewers in Columbia. I like both. The one I visit depends on coming from work or home. While in Bel Air, I lived over behind that Festival off of 924. Miss it! May be back in the...

Where in Harford? I used to live in Bel Air.
