    What do you do at your job?

    I was reading another job thread that talked about how much he/she worked and how much time he/she got off. And it made me wonder; what do these people do at their job? I know what an electrical or chemical engineer is but I don't know what that job entails. Please post no matter what the job...

    Attention Microbiology scientists or anyone who works in a lab

    I am wanting 50mL centrifuge tubes to freeze yeast samples in and all I can find are really cheap ones that leak or good quality ones in cases of 500 that cost $300. I am only wanting like a 50 or 100. I'm open to ideas of a different container that would be freezable. I would prefer 100mL...

    I got a bunch of cheap malt from a guy who was getting out of brewing. Everything was marked except for one, it looks like chocolate malt but it also looks like black patent. Anyway to figure out what it is? Thanks :mug:

    Peach Cider

    I have access to some free peaches. My plan was to get about 15 lbs, follow a Jack Keller recipe for peach wine I found except, only add enough sugar to take to about 5-6% (which could be no sugar.) Ferment dry, stabilize, back-sweeten, keg, carb and imbibe. My question is what yeast should I...

    The Dark White

    Got my hands on Hacker-Pschorr Weisse Dark for $4.00 a sixer. Only bought one thinking it would be crap, should of bought all they had. Anyway, I now have the need to make a similar one, I don't need to make a clone, I have only tried one dunkelweizen or a least one good enough to remember. So...

    Making starter wort

    So I thought of instead of buying DME to make starters, why not just use 2 row malt to make about 2 gallons of starter wort which makes 8 quarts, which a quart is a little less than a liter. Only issue is storage, my solution was to can the wort with a pressure cooker. Why this is...

    Fur!?!?!?!?

    Okay, so I pulled a dumb move, I took my home brew equipment to a buddies house, brewed there and packed up and went back home and unpacked the equipment in the garage. What I didn't realize is that I didn't rinse stuff as well I thought I did. and I was growing a fur farm in my cooler mash tun...

    Irish Red Ale questions

    I made my first all grain batch last Saturday 05/29. And now I have a few questions. My efficiency ~55% came out much lower than expected, I believe it had to do with the poor crush the LHBS did, I didn't notice all of the intact barley kernels at the time. Also I forgot to buffer the...

    German Ale/Kolsch yeast

    I'm planning on using White Labs German Ale/Kolsch yeast to make a light beer for a weekend long drinking fest at a buddies house. My question is that in the description of the yeast, it produces slight sulfur during fermentation and dissipates with time. The question is how long does it need to...

    Cleansers/Sanitizers on Copper

    Okay, so I built myself a CFC wort chiller and have been doing research on what type of cleanser/sanitizers to use on it. I already have StarSan and understand that it's safe to use on copper as long as I don't leave it for more than a few hours, I was only going to leave it for a few minutes...

Anyway I was transferring from primary to secondary and before I put the tube on for the transfer I took a sample of in my cylinder. And continued with the transfer, while waiting on the slow moving beer I began to admire...

    "New" Immersion Chller

    So as titled I have a new idea for a immersion chiller. I want to run the wort through the copper tubing instead of running cold water through it. My plan is to use two 5 gallon buckets. The first one will be filled with ice, tap water temp gets pretty warm in the summer, the tap water will flow...

    What to do with my cider

    I have 5 gal of apple cider at about 10-11% ABV, it tastes good but has very little apple flavor. I was planning on diluting it with 5 more gal of apple juice to get it do actual apple cider alcohol levels. Then kegging and force carbing. My question is I want to use Campden tablets and...
