So I just posed the exact same question in the beginners brewing section but I figured I'd post it here as well for more experienced brewers who likely don't venture over to the beginners section anymore. I've made two videos in the past that I have posted and shared with this site. One on...

Hey guys. I've made two videos in the past that I have posted and shared with this site. One on building a mash tun from a beverage cooler and another on how to wire a temperature controller for a homemade kegerator (links are in my signature). What I'd like to know is, what videos would you...

Hey guys. Got another one for you. Check out my latest project. Not only did I build a KILLER mash tun, my friend and I shot a video on how to make one yourself. Video: Description: In this video I show you how to build your own beverage cooler mash/lauter tun for homebrewing your own beer...

It's a silly thing really ... But when you open the lid to your bucket (assuming you use buckets), where do you put them? Do you guys sanitize the table, just plop em down or what? If I'm being good, I'll take the lid off, pull out the airlock, sanitize it, flip the lid upside down and put it...

Hey everyone. I just bought a new Ranco ETC 111000 temperature controller and the one or two videos on youtube on how to wire it were pretty dismal (and ridiculously long at 10 and 15 minutes!!!). So I got together with my friend John today and we shot one of our own. It's only a minute and a...

Hey guys. I had ordered a bunch of parts from proflowdynamics.com and without thinking, ordered 2 stainless steel 1/2" locknuts from them. They didnt specify whether they were NPT (tapered thread) or NPS (straight thread) and should have assumed they were NPT. When I received them, I realized...

So I brewed this stout, primaried for 3 weeks or so, and racked on top of frozen whole, pitted cherries that I heated through to about 175 degrees, and left covered to cool for probably an hour. After 10 days, I tasted it and didn't notice much of a cherry flavor. After a month, I noticed this...

Hey guys. So my current setup is 2 kegs sitting on the floor of my basement at ambient temperature (about 60 - 65 degrees or so). The high temps force me to carb at around 25 - 28 psi; fine. I believe I have 3 ft of liquid line so I added epoxy mixers to the liquid dip tubes. Two mixers seemed...

I'm not asking which one is better, that's a matter of opinion. Here's my situation. I bought everything to brew Yooper's DFH 60 min clone and then realized I've never even tasted it! :drunk: (idiot) I'm typically more of a maltier beer kinda guy but lately have been turned more towards IPAs...

I'm a newbie and want to do a brew a month. I'm considering cutting back a bit but I'm failing so far :D -- there aren't enough months in a year! I figure if they only get better in the bottle, who cares if I have a surplus? Plus who doesn't want a nice variety of beer styles all year 'round...

So. I was browsing my local Costco just yesterday (I live on Long Island in NY) and lo and behold, Kirkland Signature has removed the German Style Lager and the Hefeweisen from their case and replaced them with an IPA and a Belgian White. This is good news to me as the German lager and...
