I have been doing BIAB with a pulley system for a couple years and it works really well for me. Started with the mashtun cooler and haven’t looked back. Clean up is easy and I also do no chill with that saves lots of time. . I have been interested in some of the brew kettles like Claw Hammer...

let me start by saying I did research this prior to starting this thread. However what I found was thread started from 2008 2012 still entertaining to read, but I figured as old as it is, I might just go ahead and ask the question There’s a gentleman that is selling two CO2 tanks for $90.20...

Hey guys I think I found the bucket lid for this Beer and wine deluxe primary fermenter bucket. I got it second hand from a friend but the inner seal was deteriorated and I removed it. I measured the outside diameter of 13.75 and 13.25 ID OF THE BUCKET One lid I know for sure I will have to buy...

I got this new PRV from morebeer after I couldn’t find the old one in the picture. The new one doesn’t fit. The description said it’s for corny kegs. So I assumed this is what everyone was going to and I couldn’t find anyone else with the one I had. Do I need to drill it so the hole is wider...

I moved here about a year ago and finally unpacked my home brew equipment. I see that NC is very friendly to the home brew community. Are there any functions for the fort Bragg or shall I say liberty now Or Fayetteville area. Would love to trade growlers or 6 packs and do brew days together.

hey guys long time no see. I been out the game for a while and I finally made the leap to kegging. I got a hang up on a second hand keezer i bought and need some advice. The lines need replacing and what I thought was gonna be an easy task to just change out the vinyl tubing I see there...

Long time no talk guys. someone gave me this kit. Had it sitting round his garage. Figured WTH.

Hello everyone. Thinking of getting a Oktoberfest beer going soon and I have stumbled upon an article emailed to me from home brew academy mentioning using saflager to make lagers at ale temps. Somethings were not mentioned in the article. My questions are 1. How long do I let this ferment...

After a previous thread I realize that BIAB may be for me after doing several batches with a picnic cooler. I have about a 10-11 gallon pot and I was curious if an approximately 15 lbs grain build would be too big for my pot. I lose about 1.5 gallons of water per hour and when I did the...

Hey guys long story short I'm taking a new direction with my career and I am doing a lot of training and studying in my free time and I see I dont have much time to brew. But damn I miss it. The feel of crushed grain in my hands after it's been milled. The smell of steeping grains in my mash...

Back again everyone. I have tried looking this up on the internet but I have not really found any answers that I am looking for. So if there is a another article that y'all know about please inform him. It seems that lately I have been having to make my 5-gallon batches 5.5 gallon batches and...

I'm making this scotch ale and it calls for light liquid malt extract. When intyped that in on norther brewer pilsner was the only thing close to what I thought was light. I go back today and i see that they have organic light malt and gold malt. Should I get one of these instead? Will the...

I've come back to cry cause I'm trouble and need some help. I brewed this beer today and my OG is 1.043. Target is 1.059. Recipe was from white labs website. I'm really debating on just leaving it alone. Should I add dme or leave it? I think part of my problem today was sparging too fast...

Well after I really screwed up and accidnetly added potassium sorbate to my chocholate oatmeal coffee stout I realize that maybe legging and force carbonation of my beer would be the best thing for it since I dont want to waste the beer (if you know of a way I can reverse this screw up it be...

Look I deserve every bit of criticism and jokes that people are about to say about this but I was about to bottle some wine and add it potassium sorbate to the wrong vessel that I was fermenting my beer in. Is this any way at all reversible how screwed up is this now.? This really sucks I was...

EDIT: forgot to mention I used white labs american ale yeast Well this recipe tells me to only ferment for a week. I got it in my carboy right now. It's a pale ale. Low gravity. I've always done things in the fermenter for atleast two weeks before bottling. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the...

I should have asked before doing but I just etched my aluminum pot with a pencil grinder and I am wondering I should do anything else to prevent corrosion or bad flavors in beer. I tried searching but couldn't really find anything. It's not my best hand work lol. But the measuring stick was...

I'm wanting to do this recipe however I was wanting some more body to my stout than what I had in my previous stout it was a bit thin for my taste. I thought taking this recipe and getting chocolate, coffee and lactose plus adding about 1-1.5 lbs of instant oats to this would help gain a better...

EDIT: using all grain recipie in picture Guys if anyone thinks this this is over my head and shouldn't dabble with it than feel free to tell me. I've got about 10 batches combined with beer, mead and cider under my belt and have been seeing some really good results lately. I found this recipe...

I made a cider about a month ago. Added some potassium sorbate to the batch as the instructions called for. Waited about a day and a half. Back sweetened bottled and several weeks later started drinking them. All of them have been flat but the one I had 2 days ago. It was slightly carbonated and...
