    LTT: Blichmann 15 gallon for a 10 gallon

    I have a 15 gallon Blichmann Boilermaker, never used and I was looking to trade down to a 10 gallon. After two years now of never using it since I have never had the space for two batches to be going at once, alongside the fact that I have never boiled more than 6.5 gallons, I figure I might as...

    WTB: Riwaka Hops

    Hey so I am trying to make one of my favorite IPAs in the next few weeks and to do so I need Riwaka hops. I have looked all over for them but I honestly cannot find anyone in the US that has them. At this point I am actually considering just ordering from NZ and having them shipped to me...

    Too much stuff

    So recently a friend of mine said he had some extra ingredients and couldnt use the for the rest of the summer and asked me if I wanted them. Of course being the economically minded individual I said yes please. Now I knew that he brewed a lot but I had no idea that I was about to get what I...

    Help! Oxygen!

    So today i decided to rack my bavarian hefe to the keg as it was about that time. I planned on naturally carbing and added my corn sugar as needed However todays process went terribly, the plastic hose clamp i used did almost nothing to stop air flowing into my transferring beer and i had to...

    Smacked too early

    Ok so yesterday I smacked my activator pack in the hopes of brewing today, but i turns out I will not have time to pick up my brewpot and brew today, so would it be okay if I just left the yeast out until tomorrow? Or should I put it in the fridge even thought it has already swelled?

    Storing LME thats in a bag

    Hey I just ordered a 6lb bag of Maris Otter extract from Williams, but "unfortunately" they didn't have any more six pound bags so they gave me an 8lb bag for no additional cost. However I had planned to use all 6lbs in my next batch, so now i am going to have 2lbs left over. This wouldn't be...

    Job oppotunities

    Next year me and a couple of my buddies (18 all of us) are heading down to New Zealand for a year off before college. I was looking at some possible job opportunites down there, and of course, my mind wandered over to brewing :D . Not sure if anyone has been down there, but if you have, where...

    O2 for CO2

    Hey guys, I have a friend who works at the local fire department, and as such, deals with a lot of the company's O2 tanks. My question is, is it possible for me, if I get one of these O2 tanks, to fill the tank with CO2 instead, and then just use that for kegging? It would save me a lot of...

    Labeling Question

    I'm pretty sure this is a newbie question, but since I am a rookie, its ok. Is it ok for me to use plain computer paper? Because it seems to me that it wouldn't work at all, considering its probably going to get wet. And if I shouldn't use computer paper, what do you guys suggest in the way...

    Primary Fermenter

    Hey guys, just joining what should be a long (and hopefully delicious) home brewing experience. I was just wondering how long I should leave my beer in the primary fermenter for. I have had it in the primary for 5 days now, and am getting about 10-12 bubbles per minute. So far everything...
