I'm in the process of finishing up my Kal clone that I started over 7 years ago. Job opportunities and kids put a hold on my system, but I'm now in a place to get back to it. I currently have a SS table that my pots are on, but it's just way too tall for me. I like the looks, but I just can't...

Long time propane brewer here who has decided to make the switch to electric. My main reason for the switch is to ease my brew days and to get rid of the hassles of keeping tanks filled. i have a 2 yr old at home and another on the way so anything to allow me to be efficient and keep brewing...

Thanks to all of the inspiration from this forum, I have yet again spent too much money on this "hobby"! However, it is worth every penny! I love all of the DIY things you all have put out there for us to use as inspiration. From this site, I have been inspired to build a stir plate, temp...

So my brew buddy and I have been trying to figure out a way to keep our conical temps regulated during these hot NC summers. Here is our solution. Our Conical. Our solution, a SS coil with camlock fittings. Camlock and bulkheads from StainlessBrewing.com. Assembled! Our full...

This is my first attempt at creating my own recipe. I have typically made clones but have decided that I want to venture out and see what I can do. I'm a total hophead and tend to love the Pliny the Elders, Headytoppers, Surly Abrasives, and DFH 90 Mins of the brew world. Let me know what you...

I was just wondering if I can substitute WLP007 for Wyeast 1335 with close to the same results/flavor profiles? Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Ok guys (and ladies), I recently happened upon two 15 gallon plastic conical ferementers and have been trying to decide the best way to maintain temps. I have decided that I want to have a container in a freezer with water or glycol that will be pumped (using a submersible pump if possible)...

I did a search on here to see anyone had posted anything about this and I did not come across anything. I just wanted to let everyone know about this. I recently brewed a Pliny clone only to have it all go down the drain, literally. (See attached pictures and weblink for more.) I had the...

Ok guys, just an idea we thought about. Don't know if it has been discussed here or not. I did a search, but it didn't come up with anything. If someone knows of a thread please PM and I will ask to have this thread deleted. On to the idea. Ok so my idea is to connect 50 or so feet of...

Just finished up my Kegerator this afternoon after my beloved NCSU Wolfpack roughed up the yellow jackets of GT. Fridge is cooling down and hope to transfer my keg over either tonight or tomorrow. The fridge was a freebie from my brother. I purchased the tower and faucets from beverage...

well since I've seen people complain about others making an Oktoberfest style Ale, since its not a lager, I figured I would just call mine a decemberfest ale. Mainly for the fact that hopefully it will be ready to drink in december. I was using the oktoberfest style as a basis for this recipe...

I was pretty impressed with my Extra Pale Ale recipe. Just bottled it tonight. Turned out to be pretty clear. Now just a couple weeks and I can enjoy this beer! Hopefully it taste as good then as it did just before bottling.

ok so i went to my LHBS looking to get the ingredients to make an extra pale (extract brewing) like the one northern brewer offers. They have everything I need, minus the Caramel Pils. So the guy says they recently ran out of caramel pils... my luck. so he then tells me that somehow biscuit...

Just wanted to let everyone out there know how appreciative I am of this forum and its members. Over the past few days I have gained so much new knowledge that I am unsure of what to do with all of it. I just began brewing again after a year off and am glad that i came across HBT. Many...

Well it looks as though I'm going to be brewing two batches of beer in the coming days. I ordered two kits from Northern Brewer last week and should be getting them tomorrow or Wednesday sometime. If all goes well they should be in the primary thursday night. I ordered an Irish Red Ale and a...

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Lee, I currently work with composites as a R&D Engineer in lovely Cary, NC. I've been into home brewing for a little over a year now. Just recently was given a chest freezer in which I plan to convert to a kegerator, hopefully in time for football...
