I found a few threads about this already, but they are all really old and the links are dead. I'm getting into electrical engineering, so doing some small projects around the house to get my feet wet before I get into what I really want to do (new brew system). I have a Raspberry Pi Zero...

A while ago I bought a bunch of grain and hops. The explanation to the wife back in October was that "i won't have to buy anything until July". Well I'm down to the remnants of what is left and she is holding me to the not buying anything until July. I'm left with a recipe that is supposed...

I recently bought John Palmer's book "Water, a Comprehensive Guide for Brewers". Great book, but it got really technical and I was lost at parts. I then went over to the Bru'n Water website. I read the Water Knowledge page. A lot of the information there seems almost like it came from...

I haven't done a whole lot of harvesting. I read a lot about the Conan strain, so I bought a vial of The Vermont Ale from Yeastbay. Made an IPA, and when I started I did a 3L starter. I decanted, poured 1/3 of the yeast into a sanitized mason jar. Pitched the rest into the batch I made. It...

I started brewing when I was really into stouts. My favorite stout at the time was Left Hand Milk Stout and Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. Breckenridge was a little bland, and Left hand was just missing something. I tasted a Russian Imperial Stout that had a little bit of Chai flavor and knew...

None of my friends home brew, but they love to drink my beer. I try to talk with them about the process but I can tell they aren't interested so I abandon the conversation. Anyone here live in the Des Moines Iowa area? Would love to grab a beer some time and shoot the ****.

I made a clone of Stone Ruination 2.0. The hop flavor/aroma is spot on. I don't think I could get it closer. But when you drink it, there is a distinct difference. It is hard to explain. When you drink the Stone, you can tell where the malt flavor ends and where the hop flavor begins...

In total, I've been brewing about 2 years. Adding up all the times i've started/stopped. I've never had a bad day of brewing. That all ends on one fateful day in September. It all started on Thursday. Long read, you won't get any of your time back so just click the back button on your...

Two weeks ago (9/5/15) I brewed my milk stout. I've tweaked the recipe a lot over the last 5 times I've made it. Here is the recipe, I call it "Narwahl's Lactation". 8 lb British Pale Morris Otter 2 lb Victory Malt 1 lb Black Patton Malt 1 lb Flaked Oats 1 lb Chocolate Malt 1 lb dextrose...

Bought a 4.5 cubic foot mini fridge on craigs list. Original reason for buying it was so I could use some Lager yeast. After that, I was reading about yeast temperatures, and all the pros say fermentation temperature control is the #1 thing you can do to improve your beer after you have a...

I'm using a High Gravity BIAB set up, click here to see. Just today I ran this recipe: Amount Fermentable PPG °L Bill % 11 lb American - Pale 2-Row 37 1.8 73.3% 1 lb German - Munich Light 37 6 6.7% 1 lb American - Carapils 33 1.8 6.7% 1 lb British Light Crystal 35 10 6.7% 1 lb Corn...

Hi All, Recently built my indoor electric brewery, went with a BIAB solution from High Gravity. The heating element is 4500 watts, so I think I need 255 CFM (based on Kal's article http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/ventilation). I didn't really read into it too much before doing my...

Long time lurker here, just recently signed up. Thought I'd say hello and introduce myself. I started brewing about 5 years ago with a neighbor. He bought the equipment and I would buy the ingredients. Moved away and took a few years off, but my wife bought me one of the starter kits and...
