I'm going to take a crack at making corned beef. I currently have a 9.2 lbs brisket after being trimmed and I'm using the recipe from Ruhlman/Polcyn recipe book of Charcuterie. The recipe in particular is for a 5lbs brisket. Aside from doubling (close) all ingredients, does the pink salt need...

Hey guys, I brewed Yoops Pale Ale for my first AG brew. I missed all of my temps and volumes, but somehow still came out with the correct OG for the brew. So, first off: I missed my mash in temp by 4 degrees and ended up at 150 instead of 154. What effect would this have on the mashing process...

I have a peach wine made with 9lbs of Vintners Harvest Peach puree and wine base. Initially had no fermentation after pitching and pitched another pack of Red Star Premier Cuvee. (I was really wanting some CO2 to start taking up the empty space in the bucket) After good fermentation I racked to...

I'm looking to start all grain, but before I do, I'd like to watch over a brew session to see what all is involved and get an idea of techniques and procedures used to brew. If anyone is willing to offer some time and advice I would really appreciate the opportunity. Shoot me a PM if interested.

So first off, I haven't done a water profile as of yet. With that said, my first 2 recipes were Mr. Beer Raspberry Wheat Ale and American Light and both turned out really good with no out of ordinary taste. These were made with straight tap water with chlorine allowed to evaporate. My extract...

Got a couple pounds of Ground Turkey thawing. Bought them for burgers, already done that with the last pack. I need some ideas

Starting gravity on my Peach was 1.123 and the gravity I am sitting at now is 1.052 as of 2 months. I took a sample figuring it would have fermented dry, as all my others have done in the past, and noticed it was really sweet. This is the first time I pitched the Red Star Premier Cuvee. I use...

Does the Dead Ringer Extract benefit from some cellaring? I fermented for 3 weeks to 1.012. Primed with 5 oz of corn sugar and then carbed for 3 weeks around 68 to 71. To me it seems somewhat syrupy compared to the 2 hearted. Carbonation was still a little lacking so I allowed it to sit another...

I've been using my Masterbuilt Electric for a few years now. I'm happy to an extent with the results. I like the ease of just setting it and going, but the addition of wood chips quite often gets old. I usually do ribs, butts, a brisket on occasion and salmon. Its small, and I have come to...

Looking for a firestone liquid post. I got all the parts for a line cleaner for the kegerator and Brewmasters Warehouse couldn't pull through on the post, so I am looking for one. Shipped to OH, I do use paypal. Thanks for any help guys.

Hey guys, with warmer weather rolling around for us in the Northeast, I'm wanting to do a more refreshing lighter beer (Caribou Slobber and Irish Red on tap now) for the warmer months ahead. I can't say I have been a big fan of IPA's mostly due to the fact I can't find any that aren't...

Let me begin by saying, I've been laid up for 2 1/2 weeks after having surgery on my right leg, and I have had little for entertainment other than HBT. :tank: So with nothing to do I figured why not build a kegerator and say to hell with bottling. SO, I had a couple extract kits on order...

hey guys, I just picked up a Danby DAR125SLDD for 220 tax and shipping to my door. Pretty happy bout that. So now I need the kit for 2 soda kegs with a 2 tap tower and all the goods. My question, does a supplier have a kit which has ALL quality pieces like the perlick faucets, quality...

I'm located near Zanesville area. I am in need of 12 oz, 22 oz beer bottles, and wine bottles. Jugs, whatever you got. Trying to build up a decent pipeline and enjoying brewing way too much to quit. I don't have any HB to offer up as of right now but would be willing to pick you up a Sixxer of...

Hey guys, this is my first "real" extract beer. NB's Red Irish Ale. I have a 10 Gallon SS pot and per the directions added 2.5 gallons of water. For a pot this large it doesn't leave much volume in the bottom, therefore, leaving my grains to lay on the bottom of the kettle. I didn't bring it to...

Mr. Beer American Light in the LBK. I allowed three weeks for fermentation and then bottled with 1 1/2 tsp per bottle of granulated sugar in 22oz bottles. Bottle conditioned for 3 weeks at 70 degrees and then placed in fridge for a few days. Both bottles I opened had very little carbonation...
