Hey all, I recently brewed a Lambic using a recipe from BYO that's a Lindemans clone. I ended up with an sg of 1.044 and I pitched 2 packs of 1762. The fermentation started well, but stalled out at 1.020. The next step is to rack the beer on to some raspberries and peaches (2 separate 5 gallon...

Hey All, i was wondering if it's too late to trim off some of the bines around the bottom of these plants? I have plenty trained and climbing just fine, and don't really have anywhere else to send them. I realize now that i should have started trimming them back earlier, but this is my first...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for any advice or ideas on how to convert this freezer into a keezer. I acquired a Kenmore 15.1 Cu. ft. freezer from sister and brother-in-law to convert, but the hinges on the lid are internal. Any ideas on how to attach this type of hinge to a collar? Thanks, Chris

Hello Everyone, Here's my situation followed by my questions. I brewed a Russian Imperial Stout that I have been keg conditioning for the last 3 months at room temperature. I pressurized with CO2 and purged the oxygen and have been checking it periodically to make sure the pressure is...

Hello everyone, I'm looking to brew a 5 gallon extract batch for a holiday party i'm having on Dec.11. I'm going to brew this coming Saturday or Sunday (Nov. 6th or 7th), and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a beer that would finish in just over a month. Also, I will be kegging...
