I got two packs of Diamond Lager out of the refrigerator last night that were much older than I though. Time flies... I know it's not usually a big deal for dry yeast to be expired, but this stuff is a darker brown color than I'm used to seeing in dry yeast. Never used this yeast before is that...

I'm looking for corny lids with a ball lock post and 1/4" barb for attaching a floating dip tube. All I can find are these that include the floating dip tubes. I already have the dip tubes, just need lids. Does anyone carry just the lids? Thanks!

Has anyone had success dry hopping in a corny using a floating dip tube with filter attachment? I'm going to add 3.5oz of pellets to the keg and transfer to a different keg after crash and conditioning. I'm hesitant to try this because I can image the little filter contraption getting clogged...

Has anyone tried this stuff? I'm having a hard time finding a review or any reliable looking posts about this malt. I was thinking of using some in a Vienna lager, more of a Negra Modelo clone because of its darker color. Thanks

Anybody know where to get Co2 in Huntsville? Thanks

I really hate my Duda Diesel plate chiller.....really hate it. I think it has clogged every single time I've brewed with it no matter what I do. I brewed a batch this evening with 4oz of pellet hops that were in Lowe's paint strainer bags and it still clogged from the stuff that made it through...

I moved to Huntsville in November and was disappointed that there really wasn't a good homebrew store in the area. Luckily, "Wish You Were Beer" opened a few weeks ago at Campus 805 and I couldn't be happier! Grain by the sack, White Labs and Wyeast, Nice hop selection that is actually stored in...

What is the normal wait time for receiving score sheets back from a competition? They mailed the medal to me but I have not seen my score sheets. It's been almost two weeks. Is this the norm?

I've been at this for about three years now with only one unconfirmed infection to date. But, I brewed Orfy's Hobgoblin clone and it refused to budge past 1.018 so, after pulling the stopper and taking samples for gravity readings way too many times I've got a definite film growing on the...

I brewed a 1.051 OG brown porter back on 12/15/13 and fermented with S-04. Almost a month later(1/12/14) I checked the gravity and it was sitting at 1.021, BeerSmith estimated FG to be 1.014 so I gave it a swirl and moved it somewhere a little warmer. Checked gravity again on 1/23, it had only...

Steam beer actually, WLP810. I brewed this beer on July 4th, let it sit on the yeast at 57F until July 24th and bottled. This beer tasted terrible, very funky, the best I can describe is that it was similar in taste to a hefeweizen. I pitched the yeast a little warm so I figured the batch was...

I entered the recipe seen at the link below into BeerSmith and got some crazy numbers for IBUs. The recipe estimates 90-95 IBU, BeerSmith says 232(Tinseth). My boil times and volumes match what the recipe says. Any ideas? Thanks...

My experience with this yeast is that it doesn't floc "tightly" in the bottom of the bottle. Its difficult to pour a beer without disturbing it no matter how careful you are. Is this common with this strain or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

I just finished fermenting my first all grain batch, just a simple APA nothing fancy. OG according to my ATC refractometer was 1.050, a little shy of my target gravity but still okay. Fermentation was business as usual it seems and there is definitely alcohol in the beer. But, when I take a...

Going to do my first AG batch soon. I've been doing a lot of reading and every source recommends a different amount of strike water to use. I've seen 1.5qt per pound and 1, 1.1, 1.2 on up to 2 qt per pound. Was hoping to see what the general consensus was around here. Thanks!

Iv'e been brewing for a little while but just joined the forum the other day. This place is a great source of information!
