Does anyone have some experience on brewing batches of 27-gallons or larger? I've brewed two test batches at larger volumes and it feels like I'm getting it mostly right but could use some advice. I'm not looking for mega volume (or micro brew) scales at 1-bbl or larger but kind of the "in...

Anyone have some practical advice or a link to some thoughts already in the forums (believe me I have searched and can't find much), or maybe someone whose used them to tell me this it is impossible/impracticable or works well after a bunch of uses in kegging using Sanke's. 1). I've found...

I bought a hop screen a while back from a guy on EBay who makes drain and oil screens and recently got into hop screens (see links below). I like the hop screen, he can make 300 or 400 micron thickness (someone else reviewed them here on HBT). Anyway, I hate the mess and wort/beer loss as my...

Can anyone give me an NCYC 1044 equivalent in WY or WL?

Has anyone come across a recipe for Crux's Outcast IPA?

Is it me or is there just nothing going on brew-wise in NoVa? Haven't seen any club posts, haven't seen any brew-vents, haven't seen anyone posting new gear pics... where are you all? Did you cross the Mason-Dixon and give it all up? :ban:

Is there any use in some of the electric test kits available on Amazon? They seem to have mixed reviews. I searched the forums and didn't see any reviews.

For sale on local Craigslist (not mine): Good looking system... if you happen to have the $$$ laying about. http://easternshore.craigslist.org/for/3239001735.html

Is it a brew-sin to "wine thief" your beer for a hydro reading then drink it... then do another hydro reading a few minutes later (sanitized thief or course), and so on... I think I should just bottle NOW! :cross:] :fro:

Allright, I'm gonna try this out here too. Same question as in the beginners forum, but I might get a wider audience out here. Here's the story: We have a friend, who is also a Pastor and also a MAJOR beer snob coming to stay with us in 2 months. I need a Porter that will kick him where the...

Ok, I'm back in the beginners forum. I made a foray out into the "adults" section and it didn't go well. Here's the story: We have a friend, who is also a Pastor and also a MAJOR beer snob coming to stay with us in 2 months. I need a Porter that will kick him where the sun don't... well...

Maybe old news to some of you all, but I guess the White House has been brewing something for the President and someone launched an FOIA request to get the recipe. :tank:

So, I've searched the forums and haven't found anything that answers a specific question. -What hops should I stock up on?- I'm looking over some historic fact here and: 1. There was a Hops rut/crisis in 2008 2. We've had the worst drought this country has experienced (Europe was not as...

Anyone ever look into this (searched the forum and can't find a reference)? Looks fake to me. http://fermentationjacket.com/ :confused:

-Ok, so this has probably been posted or posited before: but has anyone tried to rig up one of the Computer CPU hydro/liquid coolers to your fermenter for temp control? I could imagine some additions (to avoid cold-spotting your fermenter) could be getting a gel jacket and wrapping a...

For the most part, I think I've got the search feature down, so I'm less likely to ask somthing that hasn't been covered in either the wiki or here in the beginners forum. So here's my big question. I still think I'm a beginner by a long shot, but I am REALLY enjoying the process, kit, the...

I'll post a pic sometime tonight, but I noticed some small white spots on top of my fermenting beer. Could it be mold? The basics: I am brewing a Belgian Tripel, waited 8 days and (against you-alls advice, I know... :( ) everything was double sanitized, including the glass carboy I used...

Well in an attempt to have a two beers fermenting, I ruined the second one. Figured I'd post it here to a sympathetic crowd (maybe?:D) since the family gave me only inappreciable sympathy. I'll have to count on the first batch to pull through. 3-hours wasted... arrgh.

Hello, New to the forums and new to Home Brew Talk. I brewed many years ago but then joined the Marine Corps and stopped all hobbies for a time. Now back to it, but unlike riding a bike, all the equipment seems new though the procedures seem to be coming back. My first batch is a Belgian...
