OK, it's Sunday and I got bored... Long story short, I added water (using a 1/2 g measuring cup) and poured it into my buckets to verify volume levels pre-printed on the pails. These NEW lines WILL BE transferred to my pails. Repeating this process for your pails may be something to think...

I washed 80 bottles the other day for today's bottling of Hefe Weizen. If you're like me, you rinse out your bottles, dry them and store them away. Sometimes for months. They can get dusty and need a rewash before sanitizing. Also, if your like most HRers, you attach a bottle brush to your...

OK, I may not be the first one to recommend this...BUT... We've all used various methods and pieces of equipment to separate the dregs from the yeast during washing. I used 1 gal carboys (I call them "jugs") for a number of years, but always had to pay attention when racking sediment-free...

I made a starter last week. 2 cups of extra-light DME boiled in 2 liters of water for 10 minutes. Cooled. Pitched a "sleeve" of WLP300 HW yeast. After a few days I realized I would not be able to get to it when I had panned, but will tomorrow. Reason for this thread: I sampled (2 glasses...

Today is kind of slow so I decided it's time to clean up some empty kegs and get them ready for refills (15+). I currently have 7 kegs in the keezer, 1 sitting next to the keezer, and 8-9 batches of brew in primaries and secondaries. Lo (and Behold) I found a keg of Hard Lemonade :ban: that...

I got this in my email today. I do not do chain letters, but I thought I'd pass this on as a Publice Service Announcement (PSA)... Breaking into a garage in 6 seconds Potential crooks will no doubt see this but I'll bet they already know it. Everyone with a garage door needs to take this...

...after several false starts I am finally RETIRING on 3 June...:ban: I have put in over 36 years Federal Government service (actual time still being computed). This time consists of 7 years Active Army (1972-1980) and 29 years in Civil Service (1981 to now)! :rockin: Let the partying...

From Men's Health: Note the HEALTH benefits...the selection of brews aint' so bad either...;) The Best Beer and Food Pairings "Good food can make good beer taste better, and vice versa," says Aviram Turgeman, a beer sommelier at Cafe D'Alsace in Manhattan. Select the food you're eating to...

Today was a pretty warm day (I got sunburned working in the yard) and I got pretty thirsty. I made a Murphy's Draught Irish Stout that I thought was a bit thin and slightly sweet. In short, not that great. Looking through the fridge for something refreshing to drink I ended up pouring 1/2...

This tip is for brewers who use a large pot for their mashes (instead of a cooler): I have a 10 gal pot and a temperature gage with a 12" long shaft (not bragging, just fact...:D). Taking temperature readings during the mash process involves the simple task of removing the lid and placing...

I got back from Korea a couple weeks ago and was given this recipe from the concierge at the hotel. I've read it over and over (correcting the English, etc.). Through research I found the nooruk is actually "amylase emzyme" which can be purchased in some homebrew stores. How much to use is...

I've looked at everyone's pictures of their keezer projects and am impressed at all the handy work and play-by-play descriptions. I like all the handy man/DIY stuff myself so I am looking at building my keezer up too. I'm giving myself 6 months to "get 'er done".... While some projects may...
