I need a few ounces of well aged hops for a lambic. Type doesn't matter as long as they have no aroma and are past the cheesy state.

Anyone know where you can get a stainless temperature probe for a ranco controller? Brewers Hardware doesn't make the anymore.

Love this beer and with help from Stan Heironymus's book " Brewing with Wheat", I've come up with a recipe that is close to the original. Blind tasting couldn't tell the two apart. Prost. 5 gallon recipe 5lb pale two row - Briess 2lb wheat malt - Briess 1.5lb unmalted hard red wheat 2.5 oz...

Some off my hop varieties seem ready to pick. They are papery and crunchy. Crazy?

Ok, I'm really starting to understand how certain mash temps effect the finally beer perception. My question is: if you do a rest at a dryer mash temp like 149, and then ramp to 156+ as some recipes call for, aren't the sugars converted past what a higher mash temp will extract? Or...

Tried Fat tire recipe in December 2010 BYO? Seemed too sweat and not enough hop IMO. Gonna try it at a lower mash temp and dry hop or up the IBU's

I have 8 varieties of hop planted on two poles 8 feet apart. They all have their own wire to climb. Do I have to worry about cross pollination between the varieties? Some are bittering, most are aroma.

Eight Varieties, Can't Wait!!!

After conditioning my malt with a little water before crushing it for my last few beers, I couldn't be more pleased. The crush is supreme, husks are whole and provide a perfect filter bed and my efficiency is through the roof. I add between 1/2 table spoon to 1 tablespoon per pound of malt...

In 5 batches with my 120 volt - 1500 watt element, I've scorched two batches of Hefe. I don't know why that is. Seems to work with all the other beers, but I do an acid rest at 110 then run it up to sacc rest temps. I'm going to quit using it to step my temps and just hold from now on. Any...

I've been running my mash thin to make things work better with my RIMS system. I haven't noticed any difference after 3 brews, but are there any disadvantages of going from 1-1.5 qt per pound to 2 qts per pound when mashing??

I usually brew 5 gallon volumes. I want to make some 2.5 gallon experimental batches. Can I just cut the 5 gallon recipe in half or do I need to subtract a different percentage?

I have a Trappist style beer that is in the secondary. It is within a 4 points of final gravity. I was thinking about bottling half of it regularly to bottle condition and adding Brettanomyces to the other half to bottle condition for a few months. Has any heard of using Brett at bottling??

Just bought 1 Bushel (48 Lbs) of spring organic Robust 6 row barley. Welter Seed in Iowa sells it for $13.50 plus shipping. I only planted about a half an acre, but I'm going to malt the rest. Pretty cheap!!! Goggle it if interested.

Looking for a recipe for Dos Equis Special Lager. It is the lighter of the two Dos Equis beers. I know AHS makes a recipe kit. Anyone have any idea of what's in it or other suggestions. Thanks

A local distillery will donate me a 53 gallon oak barrel they aged some awesome bourbon in. Do I risk the investment of brewing 50 gallons of beer just to age it in?? Anyone who has barrel aged, I would like some advice.

I'm looking for a quick disconnect temperature sensor to use with a BCS 460. Something like this: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=189 Any help would be great.

Wow there are some crappy beers in there!!! No wonder I don't buy beer much and started homebrewing!

Ok,this may be a dumb question, but I don't want to spend all day searching forums for the answer........ Never brewed gf beer, but looked at some links and see syrup and sugar as the main ingredients. I'm an all grain brewer. Is it possible to do an all grain gluten free beer?? If so...

Building my keggle rims system. Wondering if anyone uses an automated propane system by recirculating the mash through a coil in the hlt versus recirculating it through an electric body. Will a keggle with a coil in the hlt keep the temperature steady enough???
