There is a groupon on a starter kit and ingredients...

After a day of brewing, I kinda like cleaning up the kitchen and equipment. It feels good to have everything all neat and clean. I don't know if I am crazy or if this is a sentiment shared by many. What does everyone think?

Hi everyone! I had a quick question about cutting wheels for cutting kegs. I know I need the thinnest I can get (1/16" or thinner). I saw some at Lowes which looked to be made out of fiberglass or something (other than metal). I was wondering if this is what I am looking for. It is made by...

Hi, Just got a keg that has what appears to be a plastic bottom, stainless mid section and then a plastic top and handles. The spear section looks like stainless. Is this stainless all through and just has plastic coating or are the top and bottom indeed plastic and I just bought something...

Hey, This is a prob a dumb question (I know the answer I will get is to keg) but I am gonna ask anyways. We are moving to AG and want to do 10 gal batches. How do you all bottle this much? We did a 12 gal Apfelwein a month ago and just siphoned it out of the fermenter into our bottling...

Hi, After discussing our new cooler that we will use as a MLT, it was brought up that at certain temperatures plastic may leach chemicals into food. I was wondering how safe it is to use a plastic cooler or if I should fashion something out of SS. Thanks!

Hi! I purchased this burner. I went to put it together last night and all that it came with was the burner (with a threaded rod in the bottom of it), the stand and the gas line. I am wondering what else it should have come with to assemble it as you can't with these pieces. I contacted the...

I know others have used these, but I am just wondering if it is a good price and if it will last through cutting 3 kegs (didn't think I would ever hear myself ask that question about one of my prospective power tools). Thanks! :mug...

Sooo, we have held off the temptation to bottle (ultimately drink) our apfelwein for around 5 months!! WOO HOOO!! But now it is time to bottle (taste test) and we have some questions. We know that having oxygen around the beer/apfelwein is not not good as it seeps into it over time and we are...

Hi, I posted this in the fermentation section while tired and realized it is probably better served here. Is it okay for fermentation to have a weldless bulkhead or can that cause infection issues? Thanks! (want to use the Sanke as a BK and fermenter).

Hello, If I was to ferment in a sanke with a weldless bulkhead attached, would it harm the beer? Thanks!

Hey all! Was wondering how many gallons of wort we can boil in a 13.2 gallon sanke without having to worry about boilover. Thanks!

Hello, I would like to purchase a Sanke. I am in CT and am willing to drive around so if anyone in the general vicinity wants to sell one, please let me know. Thanks! -Abe

Hello Friends, Tonight we attended an open house at the Sam Adams Brewery in Boston, MA (btw, highly recommended for anyone who lives in the area - these happen once a month!). There we sampled a Cranberry Lambic beer. Now, I posted a while ago about what I thought was extract twang in our...

Hello, Is is okay to age apfelwein in the glass primary if you do not plan on carbonating it? I know it has to sit for 6 months so I guess I was concerned about the yeast cake. Thanks!

We just made apfelwein in a really old 13 gallon carboy that had been sitting in my grandparents basement for probably 40 years or so. It was really dirty when I got it and I thought I did a pretty good job cleaning it with oxiclean and some gentle scrubbing. There were still some semi-dirty...

So, we have all our ingredients for our partial mash DFH 60 min and at one point, had the recipe for it but can't seem to find it now. I was wondering if anyone might know how much water we mash with, what temp and just any general tips and instructions. LOL, we haven't brewed in a while...

Hey all! Been a while but busy lifestyle has kept me away until now. We purchased the ingredients for an IPA on Jan 2nd and we have yet to brew. The grains were kept out for like 2 months in the bags that Austin Homebrew sent it in (the temp was around 60 the whole time) and then they were...

Hey everyone! I have been noticing that our dunkleweizen seems to be more carbonated than it used to be (it has been in the bottle for at least 4 weeks. When I open a bottle, it slowly foams up and will overflow if I don't drink some. Is this the beginnings of a gusher infection? If so, how...
