    Is it bad to freeze grains?

    I bought some cracked grains ahead of time and tossed them in the freezer. Was that a bad idea? Should I let them thaw before using them?

    Got some 25 year old beer steins, wondering about the paint

    I got some ~25 year old beer steins (one from the Hofbrau house complete with a lid and one unidentified chalice) and I was wondering if the paint may contain lead. Does anyone know anything about this?

    Wedding Beer Suggestions

    I like the saison idea. Plus you can get those beers to a fairly high ABV so people will get a little sloshed :D

    Lower FG than other brews, not sure why

    I do extract brewing, which (I am told at least) will result in a higher FG than if you did all-grain brewing. Normally I end up with an FG of 1.015-1.017. I recently did a American style hef with American hef yeast (White labs). I ended up with an FG of 1.008. I am glad this happened, but does...

    Son of Fermentation Chiller fan size

    Hi, I am looking at the plans for a son of fermentation chiller. It say to use a regular PC cooling fan it seems. The thing is, I have a bunch of fans I could use ranging from a 12V .2 amps to a 48V 3.8 amps (I'll try to get some pictures uploaded later). Does anyone know the effect on using...

    Getting the FG really low

    How do you do 30 seconds of straight o2? The solutions I have seen are just regular air and you have to do it for at least 30 mins.

    Getting the FG really low

    Does anyone have any data on how much oxygenating the beer will help?

    My landlord told me to stop brewing!

    The property is an apartment complex with brobably about 50-60 apartments. He is not technically the landlord come to think of it, he is the property manager. The property is owned by a couple people that inherited it but made it into a company afaik. They own other properties too. He is at...

    My landlord told me to stop brewing!

    Oh yeah, the reason he knew I was home brewing is because I walked through the common area with a new carboy I had just purchased and he asked me what it's for.

    My landlord told me to stop brewing!

    So I'm looking at the lease and I found this quote under the section saying this premises are rented for residential only: "assembling or manufacturing any product upon the Premises" and "Residents also agree not to do or permit anything to be done in the Premises that may be deemed hazardous"...

    My landlord told me to stop brewing!

    I'll double check the lease again, but afaik there is nothing against home brewing in it. But there probably is also a clause saying they can kick you out for any reason at all if they feel like it.

    My landlord told me to stop brewing!

    My landlord told me to stop homebrewing. His reasoning was that "we had a guy do that once and blow up his whole setup." He did not expand on his reasoning. I mean I don't think a bottle bomb can cause *that* much damage to an apartment. I'm going out on a guess here and thinking the guy was...

    Carboy cracked =(

    I figured I might as well clean and sanitize at the same time. I rinse it out before I put any beer into it. I've never had a problem doing it.

    Yes, you might want to sanitize the stopper before putting it back on.
