If you live in Houston, Do not go to B&S Brewers Guild on Nasa rd 1, in Seabrook. I have tried several times to buy grains there...and several times, weevils. Usually, I won't buy. This time, I didn't notice anything immediately...so I purchased some grain. Sadly, I purchased some grain...

Ok. I've got the spear apart for a miller/firestone keg (old sucker, straight sided...old.) Need the seal that goes INSIDE the spear not the o-ring, but the other one that goes against the "button" Searched a bit on HBT, but wrong keywords I guess I can't find this bugger anywhere...

Does this come apart? If so, how? I'm sure it is something I'm just "missing" Also, is there a place to order new seals? I would like the one that seals against the keg and also the ball, if possible. If not, I guess I'll soak it in oxyclean and see what happens. Last- What is the best...

I'm lost, need inspiration in the long list of the recipe database. I'm taking suggestions. I need to brew both this week (Wednesday or Thursday as I am going out of town Saturday AM...it has to ferment while I am gone if I have any chance of making the 12/31/2011 deadline. One that can be...

One beer I want to make calls for a pilsen, but would Xlight be close enough? What could I add to bring it closer to pilsen? I do want to do a wheat, but I will just have to get a wheat extract for that I think..agreed? Thanks for any help on these 2 specifics. deleted the rest b/c I finally...

Ok- So, turns out a friend of the family has a 3 generation history of brewing beer under their belt- I'm not talking home brew, I am talking serious responsibility, one working at AB as a brew master. The grandfather invented light beer...etc. Kind of a big deal. I hope to be able to...

So I just made some Graff (ok, it'll be done soon...) What could I make that would go good if I just poured the wort on the cider yeast. its safale-05 yeast. Any suggestions? I'm open to anything, but I don't have an all-grain setup, just partial. Thanks!

Ok...... I didn't want to do any back sweetening on the graff I have going... I started OG 1.060 right now its 1.012-1.011, I prefer my ciders done around 1.011. Problem is, tons of a krausen on it. Seems like it may be a bad idea to crash it with the foamy bits. Yes? No...

Ginger beer- could probably do all grain, but if I opt to go partial, how would I substitute 2 lbs of Pale Malt 2 row us and about .625 (just under 3/4) lb of Cara Pils- Is there even a way to do it, or is it even worth the effort? I don't have a mash tun or any of the AG stuff, could I...

Do you all who make smaller than 5g batches (I have a 3 gal keg for experimenting) still use a 5g carboy? I've always read bad things about too much empty/head space. Should I be worried about making a small batch in a bigger bottle? What say you?

Ok, cold crashed a cider at 1.012...didn't want it to dry out too much. It stinks. I splash racked, but its still noticeable. I have read dumping CO2 into it to get it out, so far no luck. I did, the other night, just swap a sample between 2 glasses, so I know it will go away....but...

Hey All I've been reading a bit on the forum, but have a few basic cider questions. I have a 4.5 gal batch I started 2 days ago and its rocking along with a good bit of fermentation happening. I used store bought, no preservatives cider and apple juice then added 3 sticks of cinnamon and...
