Hi guys, Well I've had it with propane. It seems as a neighbors fart will cause the flame to go out and I'm moving on up. I had a friend rebuild his electric kettle and I was able to nab a full sized keg with the basket and all necessary holes drilled. He gave me two Camco 02852 units which are...

Hi guys, I have a creation that I need to get off the counter. About a year ago I brewed a Apple Cider. It turned out pretty good and I had about a quart leftover. Luckily I was given some cherry juice by my mother in law which I had added some sugar, and let ferment. OG was around 1.150 and...

Hi guys, I switched to AG about a year ago and have been incorporating the BIAB method. I am growing my setup to include a better keggle, mill, and a few other things and am looking into changing up my process a little bit. After about ten BIAB brews my efficiency was anywhere from 60-85...

Hi guys, I brewed a Berliner Weisse a couple months ago and as my second sour I thought, what's the worst that could happen. Well I let it ride out to about 1.004 with just the lacto and legged it a few days ago. It's good. Just really sour. What are my options at this point? I would like to...

Hi guys, Last week the grocery store had apple cider on sale for a buck a gallon. So of course I get 5 and am planning on making some not adult cider. I basically just put the cider in a carboy and added 2 lbs of brown sugar I had in the pantry. As this was a " fly by the seat of my pants...

Hi guys, Just did my second brew of a Berliner yesterday and I have a couple questions. It's also my fifth all grain brew so that's also been a bit challenging itself. I used 6# 2-row, and 6# German wheat. They might be off a little but it came out perfect last time with the same grain...

Hi, I captured some wild yeast last sept from some local Palisade peaches. Took the skin and "wort" and waited a few days. I did get some activity like yeast eating the peach sugars then die down after a few days. Around the third or fourth day I noticed a pellicle on the liquid. I was...

Hi guys, I've been doing a bunch of research on the lacto starters as i'm planning on brewing one. I have decided to make my own lacto starter with grain and a mason jar. Here's what i have. Look right? It sure smells sour. Other question is this, do i actually need seperate gear for a sour...

Hi, I brewed my first all grain a few weeks ago and after kegging the beer first taste is a little bitter. I followed a pretty basic recipe and added zest from about 7-8 citrus. The beer is very bitter at this point and very much citrusy. What can I do to help this? I thought about just adding...

I have done my first two BIAB all grain batches this week. First one came out awesome. Second one is where the problem lies. I brewed and set the carboy in the basement to get to a lower temp of 74 before I went to pitch. It's been 48 hours and the temp is where I want it to be but here's...

Hi guys, I've been doing extract brews for quite a while and today I did my first all grain. I went with a hefeweissen with a good amount of citrus zest at the end. All in all the brew went ok. I have a couple different kettles and went with a 7.5 gal due to the width. I have the recipe...

Hi guys, I decided to venture into a Berliner Weisse recipe from my local shop. I went through with brew day on Tuesday of this week. Brewed and got an OG of 1.034. The kit was supposed to come with fruit in order to get a higher OG apparently from what the manager told me today on the...
