This system works perfectly. It controlled my electric brewery for 3 years. I have decided to change course with my brewing, and so I am parting with my BCS. Asking $200. I'm in Portland. Will ship for standard rates. Cheers, Tim

So I was at the Hood River Hops Fest in October and was chatting with the reps from HopUnion. They flowed me 8 oz each of Triple Perle and Yakima Gold hops...very cool. So now they are calling out to me. Has anyone used these hops? Not much out there on the interwebs...

Hi Brewers, I just picked a bag of this new base malt. It was highly recommended by one of the local homebrew gurus. The kernels are very plump and tasty out of the bag. Here is the description: Full Pint Malt was developed at Oregon State University (originally named BCD-47) and is a spring...

Hey brewers, I have been searching for info on Azacca hops for a month or so. There is little to go on, as these hops are new. So in the name of research and development, I am brewing this as a single hop pale ale using a base malt blend that has been working very well for me and other guys I...

Hi brewers, I've been brewing lagers for years with various American and European strains. My lagers have always turned out well, but I must say the WLP 940 -the Modelo strain from Mexico is the easiest, quickest lager yeast I have ever used. I brewed a Premium Mexican-American...

I recently got the ball rolling on a new batch of yeast: WLP 060 which is a blend of WLP 001(chico) 051( anchor ale) and 810 (anchor steam lager). I made a basic blonde ale (1.047, 21 IBU) last week. It is down to 1.009 already without a starter. Fermented at 65-68f Tastes really clean and...

Hi guys, not sure hat happened with my American Lager, it seemed D-free at kegging. I fermented at 52f with Wy2035 for 21 days, warmed 64 for 3 days, racked to keg and lagered for 2 months. Anyway the beer is going on tap at an important event next weekend. I just took sample and it is now a...

Hi brewers, I am brewing a 1.054 porter tomorrow and I usually put some flaked oats in this recipe, but I am out of oats, and don't want to make another stop at the LHBS or supermarket, I have flaked wheat I was planning to use in a wit, but never brewed it. So, would 1/2 lb flaked wheat add the...

I am just about to brew a CDA/IBA/BIPA using Midnight Wheat from Briess (550L) for the dark malt. Will it contribute to head retention like lightly kilned wheat does, or does the dark roasting affect this head building quality of wheat malt?

Hey guys, well I had been trying to not brew one of these, I am still not sure about this style but, after having a few really good CDA/India Black Ale/American Black Ale pints at local breweries I have decided to give it a go. Also, living in "Cascadia" and hanging around with guys who are...

OK, I know this is an odd question, but I have been brining my Thanksgiving turkeys for years, and usually use a gallon of apple juice, a gallon of water, salt, brown sugar,pepper and a bunch of herbs. I am wondering if anyone has used unfermented wort in a brine? I know the SG of apple juice is...

So, I am putting together an all organic ale for the National Organic Homebrew Comp. I am using the only organic hops I could find; Pacific Jade and Rakau. I am planning on an American Pale Ale with the following grain bill, one I have used often and my current hop schedule. Does anyone have...

My Brew Coop is doing a 25 gallon batch of APA on 9/11 and have decided to use this brew as an opportunity to use up extra base malts we all have laying around, and to do a yeast comparison. We are aware that this may turn out to be a freakin' oddball brew, but also think it could be great? What...

My homebrew coop is having a SMaSH "Throwdown" tomorrow, and I came up with this recipe. I have done an Amarillo/NW Pale Ale SMaSH at 1.050 and 35 IBU with 1056 that was really nice. I want to go bigger and bolder this time and do an IPA. I have a bag of Gambrinus ESB malt which is 3.5L and sort...

For those of us who love to do SMaSH beers and learn about individual ingredients, this delicious beer may tell you that Gambrinus ESB pale ale malt is the perfect compliment to the pine and passion fruit of Simcoe hops. I split the batch with 2 yeasts: Wyeast 1098(British Ale) and...

So, I made (am trying to) an American Light Lager. I used Wyeast 2007 (Budweiser yeast) fermented at 48-50f. Dropped from 1.040 to 1.008 in 3 weeks, tasted it- seemed perfect. Racked to secondary, chilled to 35f for 3 weeks now. I just tasted it and it tastes like beer poured over buttered...

I brewed on Tuesday-tried WLP 007 for the first time-heard it was super fast and clean. The beer went from 1.051 to 1.010 in 2 days. I let it sit for 3 days. My brewing partner's brew went bad, and he is expecting to serve it today (Sunday) at a party, so I stepped in and kegged the 5 day old...

Original Recipe from Breiss that came with the CaraCrystal Wheat seasonal malt. I modified the hops, and I chose WLP 007 for a little English character and quick, dry ferment. Brewing for a flavorful summer ale and to try some new ingredients (caracrystal wheat and WLP 007) Description...
