I just completed (except for paint) my brewstand. Made from 2x2 square tubing and 1 1/2 angle. Used 2 banjo burners for the HLT and Boil. Mash tun is a 10 gallon cooler. Everything is ready for keggles if I choose to go that route.

Is it necessary to store a corked Belgian on it's side for conditioning / storage?

I had a couple of pints of Dragonmead's Sin Eater last night. What a great beer. I'd like to make a clone. It's a Belgian Dark Strong at around 11%. Very dark (I tried to shine my phone's flashlight through it, nada), fairly sweet. Here's what I have come up with: 13lbs Belgian pale 2...

I've got about 4 AG batches under my belt, but have yet to have one come close to my desired OG. My efficiency runs about 58%. The LHBS has a monster mill that is set to .042 for the crush. It gives a very nice crush. I have a 2 cooler setup and fly sparge. Any ideas on how to increase my...

I was browsing glasses in our local one-stop store today (Meijer) and found this set: $14. I thought it was a great deal. I was specifically looking for the Belgian tulip glass, but I love that I don't have to buy a case of each type. They do have 4 packs of each glass as well...

I recently brewed a Brewer's Best Witbier kit. It included 1oz bitter orange and 1 oz coriander seed. I crushed the coriander with a rolling pin per the instructions and added it and the orange to the boil with 15 minutes left. When I added it to the fermentor I left the hops, orange and...

I just brewed up a Chocolate stout that my LHBS made up for me. It was an extract brew with 2 lbs. of steeping grains. For the last 10 minutes of the boil the recipe called for 2 oz of chocolate to be added. I used 100% cacao Ghiradelli baker's chocolate. I am contemplating adding an...

I brewed up a batch of the BYO recipe Fat Tire clone recently. The clerk told me to use caramel rather and crystal malts. The beer came out very dark and higher gravity that expected. Is this because of the different malts or are they interchangable? We also used LD Carlson Pilsner DME...
