Hey Guys, been awhile since I've been active here since home brew was placed on the back burner because of my current employment situation but I'm making it a point to make time and finally get back into it with cider after a long summer of sampling from the Finger Lakes region. Just...

Looking for a a 1/4 barrel slim keg, not sure if its called Super Slim but i've heard them referred to as both. Message me with pictures please, and we can discuss a price.

Interesting little graph a friend of mine found and posted on Facebook.

Plan on entering two beers into my local county fair competition, a Dubbel and a Hefeweizen. Problem is im not sure what category to put them in. These are the categories they have listed: 2710. Ale, Amber (Reds, Bitters) 2711. Ale, Dark (Brown) 2712. Ale, Dark (Stouts) 2713. Ale...

Just found this on twitter. Seems pretty interesting and it looks like it works. http://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/kirin-ichiban-frozen-draft-beer-foam-dodgers-stadium-los-angeles/ Any thoughts?

I attended a winefest at the Split Rock Resort this weekend and came across the Stonekeep Meadery. These guys were very friendly and informative and made some great meads. I'm interested in trying to make a clone if you will, of their black currant mead. It had a real sharp tart at first...

Tip of the hat to The Boss. Gonna have a few home brews in his honor tonight.

Ok so i'm looking for ideas on water filters for my brew set up. I've seen pictures of single tier and multi tier setups with inline filters mounted right onto the rigs. And I still find my brews to be "sub-par" for lack of a better word so I think this might be the best investment for my kit...

For the love of God can someone please tell me what the name of this little metal pipe with threads on each end is? Its the part circled in green with the green arrow pointing to it and it connects dual pressure regulators together. I order this as an upgrade but they came separated and Im...

I thought this was great! :mug::tank::ban::rockin:

Ok I keep reading from time to time about break. Hot break, cold break, etc. Everytime I think I have an idea, someone posts something here that makes me think I got it wrong. What the hell is it? Looking for info on this. Some seem to consider it part of the trub, some don't. Some...

On vacation and an ******* from work WILL NOT STOP CALLING ME! I'm several homebrews deep and making some ringtones. What's a great ringtone for when work (or ******** from work) call me? Imperial Death March was one suggestion but that isn't quite angry enough for me.

Beersmith is telling me to batch sparge with two steps (2.17 gal, 4.62 gal) of 168 degree water. Not quite sure what that means. I always thought u just used one set amount of water, stirred and then drained again. Any advice would be great.

Question... I'm reading about storing excess, low OG runnings from the end of a batch sparge in a sterile jar for a yeast starter in a later batch of brew. My question is, how long will that last if i refrigerate it in a sterile mason jar? Is there a particular shelf life for that? Not...

I'm sure most know about it or have read about it but in case anyone didn't... http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/pages/events/national-homebrew-day Anyway, whats everyone got planned for the big day? I'm still kicking around ideas but would love to hear what everyone else has planned...

... And all other agencies involved in bringing that terrorist piece of **** in alive. Normally im all about icing terrorists but i'm one of many who would like some answers. Hopefully now we can get some. :rockin::rockin::rockin:

Brand new, never used, in the original box I received it. Ordered a few weeks ago but decided that an STC-1000 was better for my fermentation chamber set up. $60 for local pick up in the NEPA area (will meet at reasonable distance if requested), will also ship via USPS Priority Mail on your...

I keep hearing that Sanke kegs with a false bottom will provide better efficiency then going the same route with a cooler. Im just curious, from others who have upgraded from a cooler to a sanke, whats the efficiency increase? More then 10%? I wanted to go the ways of a 10 gallon igloo...

...So I remedied the situation the best I could. Ok so in the interest of full disclosure, this isn't my set up. Belongs to a good friend just getting into home brewing in Sterling Michigan (trying to get him to join the forum already). Anyway he was worried the yeast wasnt working and said...

Ok well I wanna use an STC instead of my Johnson cuz its cheaper and I can heat and cool the chamber... But my question is, is a fan inside the chamber necessary? I have a 4.4 cu Frigidaire refrigerator that im using so its not like its a huge fermentation vessel or anything like that. Any...
