    All Grain Tun, HLQ, Blickman 15gal Kettle, wort chiller....

    Getting rid of some of my very lightly used All-Grain Equipment. Moved into an apartment and just have not been able to setup without loading up and going accross town to a buddies that really isn't to into brewing. I got an electric setup to brew indoors on the way. Gotta sell the old set. The...

    Grainfather!!

    I just bought a new one last night and the disclosure is still to use a dedicated 20 amp GFIC outlet due to having alot of pull. I'm half thinking I should have just bought the 220v and bought a 110-220 transformer for $70.

    Graff (Malty, slightly hopped cider)

    I made this 12 days ago with hand squeezed juice from the neighbors tree. Checked on it yesterday and saw it's still bubbling. I'm concerned thinking fermentation should have been completed the first couple days. I have it in a fermenting bucket so I have not seen what lays inside. Doesn't smell...

    Caramel Apple Hard Cider

    Question about the syrup. I personally don't care for the syrup in the recipe as it seems like the cinnamon is a bit over powering. I was just going to use the Smuckers Caramel topping syrup and a tsp of apple pie spice instead. Anyone have any mediocre results with store bought caramel or see a...

    On a Bad Streak!!

    I didn't have a bad batch but the brewing time was a nightmare. The batch itself turned out but nearly didn't. Lines popping off during transfer, lines not sealing creating suction problems, Hydrometer fell and broke, Backup scope was too cold to get a proper brix reading when needed etc. I was...

    Upsteam Brewing Company, West Omaha, poor experience

    I really hope this was a one time experience. Went there a couple weeks ago looking forward to drinking some craft beer being a brewer myself. I asked if they had a porter or stout on Nitro to which they responded they just started serving one on a Nitro tap. I didn't want a sample I asked for...

    Need Hefeweitzen Help

    I brewed my second batch in December on a new setup. I followed the recipe for 70% efficiency since I had no idea where to start. I achieved 87% efficiency on this 10 gallon batch. Turned out really tasty but the only problem is the lack of head. I don't think I put enough bottling sugar in...

    Odell Brewing and Fort Collins tour

    Already listed my reasons. There were several and many built on one another. I don't mind paying for beer but $6.50 for a glass of beer, during happy hour, feet from where it is made, seems a bit high.

    Odell Brewing and Fort Collins tour

    I saw big bales of Willamette and i believe Saaz. We stuck our faces in trash cans full of whole leaf hops. They like to dry hop their leaf hops into the fermenter. Not sure what they use for pellets. They seem to stay with German products for the bulk of their beers as I saw huge bulk bags of...

    Odell Brewing and Fort Collins tour

    Just have to share my college field trip to Fort Collins, Colorado for my brewing class. Pulled in about noon on Friday and checked in with the University Best Western. Clerk recommended sandwiches up the street at the Cheba Hut. I was instantly reminded Colorado is legalizing weed when we...

    Citric Acid Water treatment

    Woke up to this infomercial that is advertising using their citric acid release filters instead of a traditional water filter utilizing salt to soften hard water. Which one do you think would be better for home brewers? http://www.nuvoh2o.com/nuvoh2o-complete-system.html

    Need Hefeweitzen Help

    Presentation went well. We showed off first since we had the lightest style and was the only one that everyone in the room drank all of what was served them. The ending of the last presentation was kind of funny. They were presenting I believe a Scottish Stout. They kept pronouncing Edinburgh...

    POS Capper Failed

    Unfortunately I cant. I bought it on Amazon and there is no way to contact the seller. However, Amazon already credited me the full amount and gave me labels to print off and drop off at USPS.
