I could pick up grains for anyone that is willing to drive to the Fairfax Station/Clifton area.

Thanks for the recipe. I have two chest freezers that are temperature controlled and I am comfortable with the lager steps. Actually I have am lagering something now. I'll give this a shot. Thanks

Actually I need some advise from the experience brewers out there. Like I said I have never done an all grain brew before, but I got some #50 AVANGARD MALZ PREMIUM PILSEN coming my way and at some point I need to figure out what to do with it. Who better to ask them than people that buy huge...

Yeah I am excited about giving it a go. I figured I do a pils since it the only grain on the bill. Pretty simple. I've got all the equipment and I do plenty of research. I am excited to meet some local homebrewers as well. As far as picking it up there is only one weekend I am out of town...

I live in the fairfax Station/Clifton area and I would love to get together with some people that brew in the area. I am actually just starting to ALL Grain brew and I would also be interested in splitting a sack of base grains with someone. We should all meet up at a bar in the area one...

I would expect nothing less than get the exact answer I was looking for from all of you. Glad my beer is perfect! Thanks for the responses.

Fellow brewers, I brewed an oatmeal stout (link to stout) from northern brewer a month ago. The recipe called for a OG of 1.049, which I hit, but it doesn't mention what the FG should end up at. I used the yeast 1098 British Ale, but I can't remember if I made a starter or not. I have...

Quacker- Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. questions though. I've I skim use all the trub from my first beer how much yeast would be in that cake? i don't want to use too much (300 Million) or too little (100 million) for a beer that requires 200 million cells do I? Also if I...

Hello all, In my infinite wisdom I purchased three beer kits with the same yeast and only bought one yeast vile. I was thinking, why by three yeast viles when I can just grow more yeast. I never thought about it but I really don't know how to grow yeast the best way given my situation. I...

I am going to keg this damn beer tonight. whether it is done or not it is going to be fantastic! Grog Nerd I love the skins picture. Class. You should see the finished bar pictures. It's looks great with the trim and stools up. Fairfax Station represent!!! Tim

So my IPA has been sitting in the primary fermenter for a month and the gravity is reading 1.02. It should be at 1.015. I have a party two weeks from now so I really want to carb this beer on CO2 asap. Ok to keg, or do I wait a day or two and lose a couple days of Carbonation. 1.02 is a...

I hope the second bar goes well! I'd like to stop by sometime next week and check it out. I'll sent you a private message.

Yeah I would love to come by at some point and check out the bar. I'd like to take a closer look at the lights and the etched glass. Things are a little crazy here with my flooded basement coupled with a three day old child. Maybe in couple weeks. I'll send you a message. I'm interested to...

Yes I drill though all the layers including the metal chest freezer lid that is about as thin as a piece of paper. no problems. I previously took out the insulation and plastic cover in the chest freezer.

MD- Dave, I was so proud of my build until I saw yours!!! Mine is really nice, but yours is just amazing... I do have a few questions for you. First of all do you live in Gainsville, va? Is so I live about 20 minutes from you, if that. Can you tell me where you got the glass? I...

HomeBrewerB, I build my bar around the chest freezer. The part top over the freezer had to be freestanding and could not connect with the bar because of the hinge. To do this I simply took the guts out of the top of the freezer, installed a custom fit piece of plywood on the inside of the...

MD-Dave--- I got the corbels from Osborne wood products in Georgia. Osbornewood.com You can find just about any corbel you want online. Also last week the whole basement flooded and everything is destroyed except the bar!!!! the concrete floor that the bar is sitting on thankfully is a little...

Bar progress is moving slowly, but I got some work done.
