    Washington Hops hops hops!!!

    UPDATED For Sold Hops Hello all, I haven't been active here for a while due to a move and some family health concerns that have put a damper on my brewing. I've decided to clean out the freezer so we actually have space for frozen peas and what not. Price includes shipping to CONUs Payment...

    Moving to Flagstaff!

    Hey all- I'm heading off to Flagstaff and just realized that LHBS closed a couple years ago! Where to Flag brewers get their supplies? I have a mill, so bulk isn't a problem. Any brewing clubs? I saw one of Facebook, but it looks like its been since 2010 since it was active. Any info is...

    ESIL Water?

    So in another thread, somebody brought up this "new" treatment for water. I know very little about it, but many of us were skeptical of how much "better" it's supposed to be for drinking/brewing/baptising babies/etc....it strikes me as selling snake oil. Any of our science gurus know...

    Mash Temp for American Bitter

    My next batch is going to be my first try at an American Bitter. Not looking for the Session IPA type- but a little more malty with a nice hop flavor and clean bitterness. Not looking for a Lagunitas Daytime or Stone Go To, I was thinking more along the lines of 21A Bitter American or Anderson...

    "House" Yeast Recommendations

    I'm looking to start my yeast farming, and wanting recommendations on a couple house strains, and wondering what all y'all thought. I'm thinking 3-4 strains to cover most of the styles I brew most often. My usual styles: American Pale/IPA, English Ordinary/Special/Extra Special Bitters...

    In Need of a Recipe

    I'm looking for a new recipe for a batch I'd like to make this weekend. It's summertime here finally, so I'm thinking something low ABV and relatively light. I've got a vial of WLP007 that I need to get rid of. Currently on tap I've got a BoPils and a HopBurst IPA (Chinook, Amarillo, Citra...

    Messed up my decoction? Forgot sacc. rest before boiling decoction...

    Couldn't find anything on this in the search, so here goes... Started my first pilsner and wanted to do a double decoction. I thought I read all of the directions and knew how to do it, but apparently not. So I pulled my decoction and boiled it to get to my next rest temp, but I forgot to...

    Front-mount mini fridge kegerator?

    So I currently have a small mini fridge with a single-faucet tap tower. I recently picked up a Sanyo 49xx in which will fit two kegs. I don't want to buy another tap tower and I'm hesitant to drill another hole in my old Perlick all-brass tower. I figure my options are: 1. Mount the old tower...

    Check your Equipment before Brewing!!!

    I was having a great day brewing today. My mash hit perfect temp, my efficiency was the highest I've ever had, my sanitation was going well.... Then came time to shut the burner down and start the wort chiller. Turned on the cold water, closed the lid, and went inside to make sure my carboy...

    Finally fixing Oxidation woes?

    Ok, so I've been AG brewing for over a year, with 6 batches to my credit. Like others on this site, I've been plagued with good tasting "green" beer out of the fermenter, that changes to a thick, syrupy taste after a few weeks. This meant that when the beer went into the bottles, it tasted...

    Old Solid Brass Perlick Tap Tower

    Longtime lurker, first time poster. I just picked up a CO2 tank, sankey tap, and regulator on CL. They seller threw in this old tower. It's pretty beat up, but I found out it's solid brass and Perlick brand from Milwaukee. It looks pretty old. It's a 3" diameter. What should I do...
