As I brew today, I am sick of my old pot. I have been shopping around for a new SST pot. Currently I have been doing partial boils but have all equipement to do full boils/all grain but the pot. So looking around today, Target has a 44qt pot online for about 140.00 which includes tax and...

So I attempted my first semi real fruit brew with a large can of the Oregon Rasberry Puree. I used this can in the secondary of my Cream Ale. The cream ale was a little clowdy after being in primary for about 13 days. I figured that it would settle throught the secondary after adding the...

Well after many weeks of probing through craigslist, I finally found a freezer for a good price. I picked up this one for $80 the other night. She is a little older, but holly smokes is there some good room. I can fit 5, 5gal carboys inside and still have room.:rockin: I wired in the Ranco...

So this morning my neighbor comes to my door and needed a jump. Bad thing is that her car is stuck in her garage and so I decided to take the battery out of my truck to start her car. Off she goes and I begin planning my day around my brew session. Well now the LHBS is open and I was going to...

Am looking for a tried and true Rasberry Cream Ale recipe. I have not found much online and only a few post without results on the forum. Anyone brewed one lately that turned out good. I would also go for just a Rasberry Ale. Not really looking to do another fruit Hefe. Oh yea, Extract or...

I finished up a brew session yesturday in some dissappointment. I brewed up a simple hefe in which everything went well until the end. I was all set to go with my immersion chiller and a small prechiller sitting in the sink with ice and water. In the past I have not had any difficulty in...

Wow, been a while since I have posted. Well I am now back to brewing again. My past few batches have not really been up to par. From my past notes, all of my batches that I have bottled have much better reviews than with kegging. All of the recipe ingredients and steps have been identicle...

I am so excited that I had to post. I just finished rebuilding my keggerator. I took the drip pan hose and routed it inside the fridge into a new little bucket instead of it being on the outside. Then I removed the plastic shelf that the kegs sat on and replaced with a wire one. All new...

I have now decided that I NEED another fridge in which to ferment my brews. I have nailed everything else but not being able to control ferment temps that well. Getting a fridge is no problem but wanted to get some input on what temp controllers everyone is using. When shopping around, I have...

I brewed up my first ever recipe that I developed. Of course, the brew day had its problems. I forgot to add the brown sugar to the boil. Would it hurt to add this to the secondary? Also I have another question about FG. How can you calculate how far the beer will ferment out to? I was...

I brewed up a vanilla porter a few months back in which I used a vanilla bean. I was very pleased with how it came out and is getting better by the day as it ages. I want to use the base recipe of this porter and build from there to make the ultimate porter for a house brew always on tap. The...

I have now been brewing for about 3 years. Throughout this time has all been extract with steeping grains. I have made some great beers the last few years but I find myself searching to make things better. Recently I have been looking at improving my equipement. I now have more glass...

Have anyone seen these yet? I just saw a article about it on CNN.com and looks kinda interesting. Anyone using one on their taps? http://www.turbotap.com/

I just decided to brew a American Pale Ale for my next batch. Jeff at my LHBS recommended this recipe to me. He says that it is a clone of BJ Brewery Piranha Pale Ale. I have drank a few down there and love their beers so I thought that I might give it a try. After looking on the websight I...

In the past, I have sanitized my keg, lines, and tap by soaking them in iodipher solution in a large bucket. I am currently building myself a new kegerator and got a little ahead of myself. I ended up attaching all the lines to the faucets and such without sanitizing the inside of everything...

I was thinking today about all the different beers that I could brew:D I just realized that one beer I really have not paid to much attention to is a red ale. I really can't remember if I have had one or not. What is a good example Irish Red Ale or Red Ale that I could try to see if I might...

BeerMaker has so graciously handed me a Delirium clone that is a all grain recipe. I have done some research around here and have made an attempt to convert to partial mash/extract. Below is the calculations. Delerium Tremens Yeild: 5 gallons OG: 1.084-1.085 EG: 1.013-1.015 ABV: 9.5% 11.75...

I just got my hands on a 1 year old refridgerator that is going to replace my old Kegerator. The dilema that I am having is whether or not to install my 3 taps on the front door or the side of the fridge. I have tap handles that are pretty tall. If I want to put them on the front door, then...

I am looking for a clone recipe of Delirium Nocturnum. This is one of my favorite beers and is too expensive to purchase now days. Anyone seen or have a partial extract version of this beer? My searches have come up empty.
