Ok so here is some quick backstory. I sent 4 entries to Weasel Boy Brewing's Beer for Boobs comp 3 day fedex. I was monitoring the tracking number and noticed a problem. I contacted FedEx about the package and they said that they held the package because it was alcohol and that I didn't have the...

Ok, so I am going through all of my entries for a brew comp where the deadline is tomorrow. I bottle everything from keg so I have the luxury of being able to sample up to the last minute. There are six entries. Two of which I think are amazing. Three that are great and one that is good but...

It probably has already been discussed but I just read that our AHA member number will not work for pre-sale and that an 11 digit number was emailed out. I haven't received any number...... anyone else?

Hello, Looking for some advice regarding my Berliner Weiss. Brewing this in the past I have used the Berliner Weiss blend but found that it wasn't quite tart enough. This go around I have pitched a straight Lacto culture ($14.99 Wyeast OUCH) and it is going great. My question is how long should...

Hey I don't know if this has been posted previously but I found that my hydrometer jar fits perfectly inside the cylinder with ice and water the entire length of the jar. It works like a charm for chilling the sample real quick. If you have one kicking around, try it you will love it. P.S...

I am trying to brew every style in the BJCP to get an idea of the beers that I have missed out on throught my legal (and non legal) drinking years. Problem is I don't have anything to compare them with. A few months back I made a Dortmunder Export out of JZ's book. The beer tastes phenomenal...

There has been many questions on this and other forums regarding score sheets and points given. I am sure most of you have read the article below that Gordon Strong wrote but what I found most informational is at the bottom where he and three other high ranking BJCP judges rate a couple of...

Question, I recently got a Johnson Analog Control and wanted to see how accurate the dial is to real temp. It has been in the fridge for five days now and the dial is set at 34. I have two digital thermometers as well sampling the same area as the controller probe. Therm 1 is at 41 and Therm...

I brewed a Northern English Brown and it fermented well for about 12 days. After 12 days at 68 with no activity, I raised the temp to 70 for an additional 4 days for a diacytl rest. After those 15 days, I did my SG reading and found that it had stuck at 1.020. I then pitched a Danstar...

Wow what an attitude this yeast has. Made a starter 24 hrs before pitching. Pitched and a couple hours later my blow off was going...bloop.....bloop. Not sure of the flavor profile but for speed I can't complain.

I'm thinking about getting a refractometer. MB has one for 59.99, AHS has the same for 53.99. I know I can do pre fermentation readings but what about post fermentations? Does the suspended yeast have an effect on the amount of light?

Hello, I have this 7 gal turkey fryer http://www.turkey-fryers-online.com/masterbuilt/setftv_turkey_fryer_kits.htm. I'm wanting to use it as my HLT and my question is this. I would like to replace the inaccurate dial thermometer with with the digital one in the link below. I've removed the probe...

Here is my first creation for a label. Am worried about the ink running with condensation but should look cool for a while. T

Decided to brew a Northern English Brown yesterday. Mashed in my 12 lbs of grains, hit my temp. First runnings were fine, a little bit of a stuck sparge but nothing new....then the fun began. As my wort was boiling I decided that rather than walk the extra 25 ft to the trash can I'd dump my...

Looking for Crystal 150 and not having luck. Help please

Ok here is the deal...I was thinking of using this Masterbuilt Turkey Fryer as a boil kettle. I think this would work pretty well as the size would allow me to do full boils then drop in my chiller. My only thought is that the heating element is submerged in the pot. These internal coils...

I love beer. Enjoying Boulders Hazed and Infused. That's all. Cheers:mug:

My lady surprised me yesterday with a two faucet kegerator. Here is the link. Kegerator - Sanyo Dual Faucet along with tho G couplers and two 1/6th slim 5 gal kegs. Not sure why she picked that but when I opened it I realized that this wouldn't work for homebrew without a conversion. My question...
