I read that this might be a preservative. It does say that it's been pasteurized. On the ingredients it does say "May contain sulfites." This juice is real cheap 50% off right now. You think I should buy some and try it out?

Got a few all grain brews under my belt now. I buy my grains in bulk. I have: Muntons Crystal 64.0 Muntons Pale Malt 2.25 Non-Malted Black Barley (Roasted) Chocolate Malt And fuggle hops. Although I can always buy more hops. Are there any good recipes which call for most of these...

d... I think I screwed up the recipe My first attempt at all-grain. I added an extra pound of 2row and an extra 1/2 pound of crystal and vienna, incase the efficiency was bad. Used nottingham dried yeast. (First time just pitching the yeast into the carboy without hydrating). It fermented...

Hey all. I just made a batch of Edworts Hause Ale. It was at .1050 when made. I added a pound extra of 2 row? and 1/2 pound extra of crystal. This was my first all grain attempt. Fermented like crazy for 3 days. Waited 9 days once it was done. Checked the gravity and it surprised me. Its...

I just hit 150 degrees is that OK? Should I bump it up a few degrees? Im making Edworts Hause ale. 10 1/2 pounds of grain. I hope it will work out ok!@:D

This would be my first AG brew today. Edworts recipe is a batch sparge which I dont have. I have fly sparge setup. Im wondering what ratio would be for the amount of liquid needed to fly sparge and then boil. 10 gallons? Sparging? I hope this doesnt sound like a silly question. :)

Hey all. I found that the cheap thermometer which you get from most begginner beer kits is not reading the temp properly anymore. Reads at a steady 80 degrees in my house when its 70 degrees. I think I dropped it in the brew pot a few times. However. I was planning on making my first AG...

Well, some how I forgot that if I move to all-grain 10 gallon batches, i'd have to buy a bigger kettle. My one is 7.5 gallons. Are there any kettles out there for doing 10 gallon batches? I might have to only make 5 gallon batches for now. I bought two 10 gal coolers and converted them. In...

I dont have any way of weighing how much grain I have. I plan on making 10 gallon batches. Anyone know if MoreBeer is the best place to get good 2-Row?:tank: Damn, typo!

Wort Chiller Over Stock Sale...... This is my next piece to buy. I saw a nice wort chiller on MIdwests : http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByID.aspx?ProdID=4173 But the other website morebeer.com also appears to have the same wort chiller which isnt onsale but still costs the...

Saw an episode of Alton Browns 'Good Eats' where he made a fairly simple homemade recipe for beef jerky. Looked great. I don't have a smokehouse though. I hear that you can sun dry it. As summer comes, I'd love to make a bunch of this for the winter. Anyone else tried this? :fro:

Hi all, I made a batch of 6.5 of a brand of grape juice. I added 4 pounds of sugar to it (I know I know). And two months and a half later and its still appears to have small tiny tiny bubbles at the top. My problem is. This was made when I didnt have a hydrometer. I want to...

Hi all, I recently went out and bought two 10 gallon coolers. And a arm sparge. I watched a video of all grain fly sparging. I noticed the kettle has has a spout. Mine doesnt. Can I get around this without having to buy a new kettle? Do I need two 10 gallon coolers or should I have just...

Bought parts for Rubbermaid MLT Conversion but cant find a cooler. Looked at a few hardware stores and sports stores and Walmarts. My questions are: Can these parts only be used to convert Rubbermaid coolers? I could'nt find the 5/8” stainless steel fender washer. I bought a rubber fender...

Hi all, I'm beginning my first AG recipe. I'm hoping it works out OK. I want to goto my local brew shop and buy ingredients. I hear that AG is alot cheaper. I made an extract brew of an IPA which was great tasting and only 19 bucks a batch. How much can I pay for an AG pale ale...

In my beginning stages of brewing I made a recipe from Welches grape juice. It was 6.5 gallons and 4lbs of sugar, I know rocket fuel. Some what of a mistake. Its been 2 months and one week.. I see a tiny amount of bubbles still in the carboy, but cant wait long enough to time the...

I have a batch of Welches Grape juice I fermented for around 2 months. Im trying it and it tastes very tart. I already bottled it but I have another batch on the way. Any good ideas on how to remove that tart taste? :confused:

I have an Chocolate Oatmeal Stout recipe. I had been using certain "Flaked Oats" from the brew shop but I found I ran out. Can I use regular breakfast Oatmeal to do partial mash? It looks pretty close to the same thing. :D Ive been mashing at 150ish for an hour with Chocolate malts and roasted...

Hi all, hope I can get away with an Apfelwein thread here. This batch I made was the only one i've let clear for an extra two weeks (As I was on vacation). And it cleared like no other apfelwein ive made. So after bottling and waiting another few weeks I tried it. Now the first couple...
