I am in the process of moving; currently located in Fairfax Station VA (area code 22039). I have decided to sell my entire brew collection. Its a lot of gear. If the ad is up, I have the gear. PLEASE do not engage unless you are serious. Cash sale only. I will sell for about .40-.50 on the $1...

I know there are lots of posts and I have read a looooooot of them. I posted this in the yeast forum but no takers so am trying here... I just jumped into sours / funky beers and have four I brewed a month ago. Below are the style and yeast used: - Lambic that will get some sort of fruit...

I know there are lots of posts and I have read a looooooot of them. I just jumped into sours / funky beers and have four I brewed a month ago. Below are the style and yeast used: - Lambic that will get some sort of fruit (WLP 655) - Blonde that will get a little oak (Brett and Pedio) -...

I was heavy into stouts a couple winters ago...tastes change and now am liking quads and porters. We always have a lager or two and ipa on tap as well and a Belgian blonde or strong rotates through the pipe on occasion. I like beer...so what gets brewed is what I have a hankering for that week...

It may be me but on the computer and phone when I look at recipes it no longer shows menus of certain beer types. I used to see different styles but not anymore....is it the site of am I doing something incorrect?

So this winter I have become enamored with Belgian Quads. Combing the recipes, I am going to make a couple of the famous clones that many members have already duplicated. I have read many threads on making your own Belgian candi sugar and I know there is a huge cost difference between making...

So when I first started all grain, I used all sorts of posted recipes to see what I would like to brew. By and large, I have enjoyed most, though some I won't brew again. During my trials, I brewed a recipe for a Biere de Garde I used from the HBA website. Below are the ingredients I used...

So I am trying to figure out if I just made a mistake… I purchased a N2 tank, regulator and stout faucet (from craigslist) for a decent price. My plan was to carb my keg to 7psi and then serve with straight nitrogen set at say 30psi. I wanted to serve both stouts and dabble in other...

Through a mistake in picking up grains…I ended up with 3lbs of Crisp Amber malt. I have used in in the past for DF 90 Minute IPA but my other half has decided she is no longer a fan of the 90 minute. So, none of my staple recipes call for Amber and I am looking for suggestions to use it...

I have two lagers in primary - a pils and a vienna lager. They went into primary 1 March, and both were around 1.06 OG. They took off after around 30 hours, nice krausen on both batches, fermenting at 49 degrees. There is still consistent air lock activity - much slower then at first, but...

So on more then one occasion I have taken a gravity before boil and it ends up being within a point of my post boil gravity. The boil evaporated .75-1 gallon per five gallons so clearly it should be much lower… When I take the gravity I give the pot a good stir and take it a couple times...

I messed up but buying only one vial of yeast for my upcoming brews - one pilsner (OG 1.06) and one Vienna lager (OG 1.055). I ordered grain for 10 gallons - thinking I would brew one, use a 4L starter with the one yeast pack and then brew the following week and pitch on the yeast cake (or...

i was hoping to get some thoughts from folks on a lager chamber. I am going to buy a chest freezer but I am debating two things and am looking for input. - Should I get a 7 or 14 cu foot unit? - Should I get a single or dual temp controller? As way of background, this fridge will...

I am torn on what I would like to add next to my brew set-up. Currently I have a four tap keezer, built on a 14cu ftchest freezer (allows four on tap, three on carb with a 20lb co2 tank). I have an upright freezer that fits my 15g minibrew conical or one 6.5g carboy (not tall enough to stack...

I am going to start bottling for gifts and have been saving bottles the past couple months. I had a Starhill case of IPA that were pop-tops. I went and washed them, removed labels etc and looking at the bottles I see they are rifled for twist tops! Has anyone else seen commercial beers that...

OK - this is my first "design my own" recipe. I have been using all the yummy ones that are posted in the files but was reading through a bunch and started stealing bits and pieces…well, the result is below. What are your thoughts? Looking for input from those with more experience on...

So as posted before, my first Grahams turned out great after four months; only alteration was a little sugar to boost ABV. I tried the second batch with some apple juice concentrate to do the same and pitched on the cake of the first. It has been six months and the second is still tasting off...

First batch of Graham's English was nothing shy of awesome. Recipe followed with addition of 32oz of white sugar. Four months aging, notty yeast. It did not last long when we tapped it. I have four additional batches of the cider in the assembly line…just tapped the second batch, which I...

To figure out why i bought two packets of S-04. Usually I have a beer(s) in mind when I pick up yeast. I usually only buy every couple months, with a brew schedule in mind. Well….I don't write down said brew schedule and now I can not for the life of me figure out what I was supposed to brew...

I am brewing a chocolate stout today and was wondering if I can take the runnings to make a starter for the WYeast 3711 PC French Saison yeast I picked up for azscoob's cottage house saison. I would chill and decant the starter - I could even wash it I suppose. Can I use the runnings or am...
