I'll be moving soon so I haven't brewed anything in a couple months. Moving next week so hopefully I'll get started back up soon after. I'll update whenever I get around to it.

I just started using bulk hops recently and love it. I store them in ziploc vacuum seal bags in the freezer. Wife loves IPA's so I'll be trying all kinds of hops this year and picking out our favorites. So far her favorite is simcoe, then centennial and citra. I'll be sure to try summit soon.

For some reason I've never been able to find a straight answer to this question so...fingers crossed ;) Let's say for simplicity that I have a recipe that calls for 1lb of crystal 50. Would 1/2lb of crystal 100 produce the same end result? I recently had a mishap with some calculations...

*Note to self FYI: 8oz * 1.6 is 12.8oz For some reason I decided to write this down last night as 12lb 8oz after one too many ciders, and didn't bother to double check it this morning. I just picked up the grain order and realized I have a ton of extra carapils, milled, with a tiny bit of...

That was the plan, I drew 11 ticks, marked the 5, marked the 0, and everything fell apart. I considered trying to change the 10 to 11, or maybe adding an 11 after the 10 or sneaking in an extra tick, but by the time the thought completely formed I had lost interest. Let's say switch 1 is for...

Just finished adding a variable control to one of the outlets for $20: :fro:

Howdy! You guys still brewing in Hilo? I'm thinking about making a move there next year.

So the wife and I got a crazy idea to move to Hawaii now that my job is 100% remote and she can get a job at the university or public library. After looking at houses we'll probably end up buying in the Hilo area around this time next year. I'm just searching for any general feedback or advice...

Here's the rough recipe I threw together based on my Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin clone combined with reading up on pineapple flavor and aroma. I'll be brewing it sometime in the next month or so. Ballast Point Pineapple Sculpin IPA 12lb 2row 1.25lb Crystal 10 1lb CaraPils 0.5lb...

They updated their site this week(again), among other things you can now view prices of all items without having to view the item, and can sort lists by price, both of which are great for picking out recipes on a budget. The site also seems to be loading pages much faster than I remember

TLDR...the Hop Character Wheel is pretty awesome though Is this the Brewing Books forum? I think not. :off:

Alright nerds, we got a little off track there for a second I apologize for offending any of you nerds...now then, back to the issue. I guess this is what I was thinking of...you pick a category and style, and it tells you the profile, suggests some recipes, lets you make your own recipe from...

I officially give up on this forum. you win.

I'm looking for software or website that I can build recipes by telling it what type of beer I want to brew and it very simply suggests the best way to do it with things like grain and adjunct ratios and hops and yeast and water profile recommendations as if I'm just a guy that likes to make and...

My build cost was closer to $300 including a big shiny brand new 15 gallon pot. My controller is a simple on/off gfci box, elements are 120v 1650w. All parts sourced from amazon and lowes. It brought 7 gallons of delicious wort from 170 to a full rolling boil in 15 minutes. It also somehow...

Just finished my first brew day in my new homemade 120v eKettle. I pulled off two 5-gallon brews in just under 6 hours including prep and cleanup and pitching. The best part was my lack of presence during the whole process, just set it and forget it!! Pr:mad:pane sucks, I'm electric for...

Just gathering up my grain bill and getting my hops together to finally brew this today, after I plugged in the recipe into tastybrew recipe calculator to check the numbers I couldn't figure out why the IBU's were in the 40's!!! Then I remembered I'm making a 5 gallon batch and forgot to half...

This came out fantastic! Thanks Wayne!

I just finished brewing this, I probably messed up the coriander and peel measurements but oh well, that just means I'll have to keep brewing it until I get it right :]

It's on sale for $25 on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NQIROA/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Regular price is $35, which is still less than all other places I looked. It's sturdy and beautiful.
