Does anyone know anything about the Picobrew Unpak’d System? There isn’t very much information provided. What gravity can I achieve? Can I use pellet hops? The picture shows whole hops. Is it set it and forget it like other Picobrew systems? How long do the Unpak’d bags last...

I recently built a gas quick disconnect (QD) for my new Blichmann Beer Gun. The beer gun accessory kit comes with a QD for the liquid side, but, the gas side requires turning a wrench to connect your CO2 system to the gun and the keg. My beer fridge is a bit cramped and I didn't like the idea...

I couldn't find the little black tip from my beer gun. There it is in the bottom of a bottle of a capped bottle of beer! Whoops. That was the very first bottle I ever filled with my brand new beer gun. I am just glad I found it.

Beer Bust: Yankees Rename 'Craft Beer' Stand At Stadium by Bill Chappell NPR - April 14, 2013 The baseball season is still young, but the New York Yankees have already faced harsh public criticism. No, we're not referring to their lackluster record. Instead, the Yanks were accused of trying to...

I recently made a 2L with Cry Havoc yeast. The LHBS only had amber DME so I used that for the starter. I made the starter on Friday planning to brew Saturday. Life happened and I couldn't brew. I made the starter in a 2L soda bottle. I tightened the cap and put it in the beer fridge for a week...

The brewer formally known as "kehaar" is now "alestateyall". Changed to match my twitter handle. AleState is a play on Hail State which is a popular saying at Mississippi State University where I teach electrical and computer engineering. The yall part is because I live in Mississippi and...

Mississippi had 2 homebrew legalization bills make it out of committee today (1 in senate and 1 in house). This is a first for Mississippi. Wish us luck! We hope to finally beat Alabama at something.

Writing down my rules (penance for breaking them too often). Starting from brew day: 1. Never pass judgement on a beer before it is 6 weeks old. 2. Never give away beer before it is 6 weeks old. 3. Never post describing a beer before it is 6 weeks old. Basically, I find myself not liking...

iBrewmaster does not have a built in method for calculating strike temps and water volumes for no sparge BIAB. I decided to document my work around. First, I created a no BIAB mash profile. The following pictures show the details. PS. The pictures show grain absorption of 0.1G/lb. I find...

I am currently reading the book Bitter Brew by William Knoedelseder. I am addicted. The book chronicles Anheuser-Busch and the Busch family from start to present. There is lots of info on the business and lots of inside scoop on the family.

I just looked at my iBrewmaster batches. 55 gallons in 2012. I dumped one batch so really more like 50. How about you?

Cheers to you and may your turkey, trimmings, and pumpkin ale be delicious.

I have a beer I brewed for a fund raiser. It was keggeg 5 weeks ago. It has lots of floating hops bit in it. I have only taken about 2 pints. I will serve it this Sunday. Is it worth using gelatin to get rid of the hops? I think I have enough time.
