made my first lager a while back, a moose head clone for a buddy and its still mostly flat. we cracked one open the other day and it tastes pretty good but way undercarbed. its been in the fridge over six weeks now and not sure what to do at this point. should I bring them up to room temp for a...

Been trading beers with a member here, somebody in cali. I've been sending him beers he can't get over there and he's been sending me things like pliney. Anyhow his last shipment to me was pretty bad, about half of them broke. he did a piss poor job at packing. so he said he would make good on...

A friend asked me the other day if we could make a glutton free brew for his girlfriend who likes beer but it must be glutton free. she can't have something in the grains :confused: We've been brewing for about a year and a half, doing mostly pm's and extract with grains. not really interested...

Just wondering how long most folks age barley wine. I picked up a sixer of 2011 bigfoots and curious how long to age. Also what temp? My beer closet is about 68f and my brew room is about 64f. Are either one of these temps. good or should I go warmer/colder?

Happy Easter HBT! Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday :mug:

I'm going to be doing a moosehead kit for a buddy of mine. It's a clone kit from AHS and it just dawned on me that this is a lager. I've never done a lager before. Normally I ferment in a room in my basement that stays a constant 62f. and it works really well for my PA's and IPA's. The...

anyone in the NE Ohio area might want to check this out. over 200 breweries featuring some 800 beers. general admission gives you unlimited sampling plus they offer a discounted designated driver ticket - I'll be there :tank...

My good buddy who I've been friends with for about twenty years now has helped me make more than a few batches. He comes over to help with the rest of my brew crew. We eat, drink, brew.. you know the drill. In the entire time I've known him he drinks moosehead. Only moosehead, never anything...

did a search and didn't find anything so I'll ask.. Why is it every time I post on a thread, every subsequent post on that thread gets e-mailed to me? :confused:

well my brewbuddies and I finally got around to building a set up for the barley crusher. we knew after the first time of crushing 18lbs of 2-row by hand this needed to be built :) its basically just an old nightstand powered by a corded drill from harbor freight ($18). the drill cord was...

A couple friends and I stopped by a beverage/ liquor store yesterday to sample a few things on tap and get a few growlers filled. than I saw it - the biggest beer bottle I've ever seen. it was a double oak aged arrogant bastard, not my favorite beer from stone, but I almost bought it anyway...

just stumbled on this, looks like it would work pretty good anyone try it? http://www.filterstore.com/beer.asp

just got a batch kegged for the first time. I'm all about set+forget, but I forgot what the hell to set at. forget must be the easy part. got it at 10 psi for now. am I good?

I'm working with limited time this weekend and got to get 20 gallons bottled and kegged. trying to figure out ways to shave a little time out of the process and thought hell I should sanitize the kegs right now. Could I sanitize now and seal them up with a little preasure for the weekend or is...

nasty troll picking nose,yes or no?

from what I've read about starters I'm under the impression to put an air-lock on the flask to keep the nasties out. the directions on my stir plate say NOT to put an air-lock on the flask, the yeast needs to be in contact with the air to reproduce. doesn't really go into any detail beyond that...

thanks to all the folks who helped me out with this hbt rocks :rockin:

just wondering if a co2 tank can be laid on its side in the fridge or if it needs to be standing upright. my tank would fit perfectly on a shelf above the kegs, just don't know if thats a no no or not. anyone have their tank on its side?
