Just like the title says! What do you guys use for sweeteners when the sauce is done fermenting? I just made my first two batches of hot sauce and I dig it, but would love to hit the balance better on sweet n salty.

Like the title says...200 ppm of sodium in my city water. I just brewed a Kolsch as my first brew in this new town and yeah, not so good. I had great water where I was I before and took it for granted. I had no idea how bad this would be as it's less than 10 miles from my old place. To top...

Hi All, I'm working on a build in my new garage, having issues trying to figure out how to deal with with condensate above my brew set up. I do not currently have a drain or water ran to garage. My plan is to build a pretty long "shower pan" and run a drain to a line running parallel to the...

Hi All, I'm trying to find a solution to hook up what I attached. It's the end of a mega pot sparge contraption. I'd like to find a way to attach it to the open end of a lock line. Has anyone figured this one out yet? Thanks ahead of time

So I've been away from the hobby awhile and I'm having trouble finding big (100 qt and bigger) stainless pots with a good 3 ply bottom. Does anyone have a good link? I can drill them and add sight glasses, valves, etc. myself. Thanks ahead of time if you do!

Anyone know of anywhere that has these in stock? Brewing in 10 days and I would like to find a pound of each. Been digging around and haven't seen them anywhere. Thanks!

I have a 15 gallon hlt, a 20 gallon mas tun and just bought a 25 gallon pot to boil in. I was thinking I could mash and sparge enough to get about 23 gallons for a boil. Is this right or will my efficiency suck?

So I went ahead and bought beersmith 2 thinking it would be a great help with evaporation loss and absorption since I missed my last 10 gallon batch by 2 1/2 gallons. I am really struggling with trying to tell it what my equipment is so it can do some math for me. I currently have a 20 gallon...

Just went to the store and was surprised and amazed to see Green Flash right here in Iowa! Just got home, poured a bottle and full on nasties floating around in there. By nasties I think I'm looking at hop particles galore. I love hops, and I love ipa's, but seriously, this is throat...

Just wanted to give Farmhouse Brew Supply 50 thumbs up!!! Always the best customer service. They actually answer emails and go out of their way to get you what ever they can. VERY top notch!!!

So I decided to give whole leaf hops a try with an ipa I'm doing right now. I was really surprised how much was in the boil kettle when I finished the boil and it took a long time to drain. No big deal, hit my quotas. It has been 2 weeks in primary and I dry hopped the first week. This week...

So I have been looking everywhere and cannot find galaxy hops to save my life. What happened? It seemed like a few months ago citra was the thing and people "settled" for galaxy. Now I can find citra everywhere. Did a big brewery buy them all up? Am I missing something?

A guy is selling these 15 gallon tanks on craigslist and says he used them for rainwater. Are they good for fermenters? http://desmoines.craigslist.org/mat/2601715619.html

I am trying to find a recipe for this tasty treat and all I have found is an email from Paulaner stating it was 70% dark malt (people are guessing munich) and 30% pilsen with hallertau bittering hops and hallertau aroma hops. I dig this beer and would love to make a batch. I have been making...

Does anyone here have a kick ass marzen-type recipe (partial mash)? I've been digging around but want something that someone has made and can testify to greatness.:D

I was thinking of ordering some converted ball lock kegs from cornykeg.com. http://www.cornykeg.com/catalog.asp?prodid=672560&showprevnext=1 Has anyone ordered from them before and are their kegs good?

Just made a pretty incredible beer involving citra hops (wheat, not important). I heard there will be no more citra for us home brewers for awhile. This sucks, if true, and I found this... We are the conclusive Citra Hops website. Citra Hops are our magnum opus and we only handle in our...

So simcoe is toast. A month or so ago I finished my last Pliny the Elder clone and ever since then every ipa I drink is just not as good as they used to be. So after denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance I am going to move on and give my own "hop murder" recipe a shot (partial...

I currently have two wheat beers fermenting at 68 in the basement. The recipes are as follows: 32% 3 0 Wheat Dry Extract info 44 8 ~ 32% 3 0 White Wheat Malt info 40 2 ~ 11% 1 0 Rahr Pilsner Malt info 34 2 ~ 11% 1 0 Cara-Pils/Dextrine info 33 2 ~ 11% 1 0 Wheat...

Something has been bothering me with calling an india pale ale a black india pale ale. I consider myself fairly open minded with names for beer and even types or categories that get a bit off track. But how is black somehow pale? Easy solution: IBA Shoot me down. What doth yon...
