I know I just posted a new thread in this section, but I think this is another valid question I couldn't find answered. I had put all my kegging equipment aside for the summer since I wasn't using it. I guess it was subjected to just a little too much moisture and not enough air and there...

I am about to finish my system where I am not moving beer around by hand, to having a pump with QD's and hoses to alleviate all the hand movement of wort and h20. I have had issues when using my therminator when it is gravity fed, during AG batches there's a 1/3 chance it gets clogged and I have...

I had two batches of grain that I wasn't able to use over the summer. I am wondering that if they were kept in refrigerated conditions if they could still be used 3 months after they were crushed. I have some liquid extract around too, but I am pretty sure that should have lasted three months.

I was given this mash tun which has had a lot of use over the years. But the weld in the bottom seams to have rusted, Im sure I can get some of it off with wd40 and some steel wool. But would having just a little rust be detrimental to the flavor of the beer. The off color around the weld...

I have been looking at the LOVE temperature controllers, and am debating buying one of those instead of a johnson digital. Which ones have people been having the most luck with. Also is it worth it instead of just buying a Johnson digital.

So out of curiosity which is the best way to hop for bitterness and aroma. Such as how much more efficient is it to have loose hops in your wort vs in a muslin bag. Also leaf hops vs pellets, I know pellets are more efficient, but anyone have numbers. Also for aroma, I remember seeing...

Has anyone else found that this year's Sam Adams Summer Ale tastes significantly different than in years past. I know my brother has had the same sentiments. This year it seems to have a weird bite to it, or almost astringent. It used to be a top five favorite and it has now declined to a point...

I have had this bath fermenting for a while, and just left it alone in the back of the closet. I pulled it out to get another reading and this is what I found. I dont recall reading about this in any other book or forum before. My guess is either bacteria or or wild yeast. It also has started to...

Anyone ever try growing hops indoors, a green house, an aquaponics or hydroponics system. I know its not ideal but I dont have space outdoors, and would rather have some timing to get fresh hops maybe 4 times a year.

Anyone use glass bottles for their soda. I plan on making some cream soda whenever the extract arrives. I dont have plastic bottles, but have 300+ clean and empty glass ones. Is it really that dangerous to use glass bottles, or as long as I get em in the fridge when they are properly carbonated...

I just got the Therminator, (figured it was worth it in the long run) and I have heard mixed feelings of having it gravity fed, or pumped through. I also saw that someone pumped it back into the kettle, and was unsure if that was the standard or if you pumped it out cool into the primary. (I...

Im trying to figure out why all my beers are tending to have a sweetness or fruity ester taste. Even my IPA's which I am using 2.5 ounces of bittering hops during the full 60+ minute boil. My two guesses as to why it is happening are: My fermentation temperature has been inconsistent as it is...
