I had my house audited for leaks the other day and while we were in the basement I had the guy take a shot of my keezer. Straight 2x6 ccollar construction, no insulation. 1/4" foam weatherstrip between collar and box. Collar case in about 5 degrees colder than the box. Thought I would share...

I've been looking into upgrading my RO system as the under sink unit really isn't practical when it comes to the volumes required for brewing, and the unit I have springs a new leak every time I replace the ceiling tile below it so the whole operation is getting moved to the basement so now is...

I recently purchased a new sack of Briess 2-row. My first batch on this sack I ended up with 62% efficiency, my norm is 72%, including batches made with 2-row. At the time I chalked it up to the high wheat content and it must have something to do with the wheat needing a finer crush, etc... I...

Hello- I've been brewing for about a year now and mainly brew IPA's. That having been said, when I was dialing in my process I decided the best approach was to make the same recipe over and over until all went to plan. That recipe was Ed Worts IPA, which except for the bittering hops is all...

Hi- So I'm on my 4th AG batch and I've been pretty lucky with hitting pretty close to my numbers etc... to date, so armed with a few efficiencies I've picked up along the way this batch was going to be spot on! Not so much! I think I've figured out most of what went wrong, what I'm hoping...

I've brewed a few ESBs now an have figured out where I prefer my bitterness level to end up. I've also read dozens of recipes to get a feel for the style. To hit my IBUs I have narrowed down my bittering addition to either 1 oz of Target or 2 oz East Kent Goldings. I'll be adding 2 more...

Too many homebrews? (most likely) After being away from homebrewing for a number of years (14?) I've recently picking up the hobby again. The main enabler was moving into a larger house and therefore pulling my equipment out of storage. Prior to being able to brew I spent months reading and...
