    Sanitizing Grapefruit Zest

    I sanitize vanilla split and scraped vanilla beans in vodka and add them to the cold side of the brew. For two vanilla beans I just use enough vodka to keep them wet (NOT COVERED!). I shake the mason jar a few times to make sure they stay covered. When you're done with the vodka soak, just...

    Why do large (10+ gallon) batches?

    I put 6 gallons in a carboy at the end of the boil and generally end up with between 5-5.75 gallons when I rack it. I try my hardest not to disturb the yeast cake so I leave a little extra in there. Kinda like pouring some out for my homies. What I do on brew days is brew twice. It only...

    So I ran over my brew stand today.

    Tarp is in place..I've set a craigslist alert for 87-91 F250, hopefully someone is parting one out. The hood wouldn't be soo bad but it's more than just a piece of sheet metal, you know, it's got some structural reinforcement to it. I guess I should say it "had" some structural reinforcement...

    So I ran over my brew stand today.

    Got a sweet score on a 91 F250 (351W, 5-speed) that needs a slave cylinder. Drove it home without a functioning clutch. Instead of watch football all day, I decided to get the tranny out and put in the goods while we still have some unseasonable warm weather and no snow in Fairbanks. I was...

    Buh-bye, Carboy Brush

    I used a shammy cloth (Sham-wow!) and it doesn't scratch anything. I actually don't use this as much as I thought I would being that a overnight oxy soak gets everything. I use it if I have to do a quick turn on one of my ferms so keep the pipeline flowing.

    buffalo wild wings to get their own beer?

    I guess I shoulda asked first. You shoulda seen the tears and anger that sprung up in here after that, popcorn worthy!! Anyhow, I'll just go back to wishing there was a BBWs up here in Fairbanks. It ain't the beer selection, it ain't the wings, it ain't the big screens, it ain't the little...

    buffalo wild wings to get their own beer?

    Know what's funny? The first poster thinks BWW made fun of every homebrewer in the world. The second poster thinks every BWW is the same. Maybe if they pulled their heads out, they would see the err in assuming every brewer or restaurant is the same. From reading posts on here and from brew...

    Adding Coffee to IPA: How do you cold extract?

    http://www.americastestkitchenfeed.com/do-it-yourself/2011/08/how-to-make-cold-brew-coffee/ That is a good link that dissects cold brewing coffee. When I was making my vanilla/coffee stout I read up on cold brew and ultimately used that link. I agree with the last couple folks...using hot...
