I plan on revitalizing my conan with a fresh starter this week and would be more then happy to ship a full white labs sized tube by express with cold packs in exchange for local craft beer. There are 2 other members here who could vouch for me, being we made the same arrangement about a month...

I put together a recipe and her and I are going to brew next Sunday. Here it is and we hope it comes out good. If anyone has suggestions, I'd welcome them. The Celiactrixxx IPA: (10 Gallons) 10 lbs (=3 cans) Briess White Sorghum Syrup- 4 lbs Brown Rice Syrup (Make sure it says Gluten...

My DIPA was bubbling at a pretty good pace for at least 3 weeks at 68 degrees.

There's a few more in this room that aren't pictured.

I always pitch big and never had problems. I typically make step starters and pitch between 4000- 5000 ml for anything from a 10 gallon to 30 gallon batch. "If you're having yeast problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a pitch ain't one."

Hey y'all. A girl I know loves craft beer but has gluten allergies. I want to try to impress her by brewing a gluten free beer, possibly an IPA (she's a hop-head), however all the gluten free beers I've ever tried kind of suck. I've actually never had a gluten free beer I've enjoyed. She agrees...

Hey, just in case you are checking this thread, I found some still for sale online, http://www.halftimebeverage.com/new.htm Good luck to you.

I usually use plain bottles with no raised lettering. So I usually skip on the Sam Adam, New Belgium, Green Flash, etc. When I first started years ago I loved Grolsch bottles, but realized that green bottles don't protect from light the way brown ones do. I soak my bottles in hot PBW and the...

Sometimes the poppets wear out. I've replaced many of mine with the universal ones that you can buy. I usually keep a spare or 2 in my tool box just in case.

These beers are long gone. I bought half a case when they hit Knoxville and drank one each Sunday night while watching. It's was ok, but nothing special.

I use my old copper chiller as a pre-chiller, I run the water through it in a bucket of ice and cold packs and then use a CF chiller. It also helps if you get a big tub that you can fit your carboys in and pack ice around them when you are filling them.

I want to brew again this weekend, but I am having a bit of "brewer's block". I just took inventory last night, and am wondering what I should brew. I'm leaning towards a pale ale or IPA. I want to brew 10 gallons. Here's what I have, I welcome suggestions. HOPS: Approx 12 oz Columbus...

Ratchet- but I have a policy of only adding people I have drank with, or women I don't yet know in the Knoxville area. (It's how I met my last but now Ex-girlfriend)

Yazoo and Jackalope

http://craftshack.myshopify.com/ has it, they just added it today and ship to AL. Cheers. :mug:

I soak a wash cloth in extremely hot water and rub it down the side of the keg. After 30 seconds or so, I can tell the level by the condensation on the side.

In my experience, unless you want to spend a ton of money on strawberries, go extract. Strawberries are notoriously had to extract their flavor out of, especially when using in a darker, more malt flavored beer.

I too loaded up on whole leaf Belma from Hops Direct. I ordered 4 pounds the day before they changed it to 1 per person. I traded a pound off and used the rest. I made a single hop pale ale with Belma. One keg I went further and dry hopped with 2 ounces in a nylon bag in the keg. I found it to...

Here's my Conan experience. I had 2 cans of heady Topper brought back to VT for me. I knew I wanted to harvest the strain, but didn't know when I could get around to it. The beers sat in the back of one of my fridges for over a month. Eventually I made a starter using light DME and got it to...

HANK III- 3 Bar Ranch (speed metal combined with auction cattle calling vocals. Yee-f'ink-ha!)
