I'm looking to sell a SP10 outdoor burner for $35. I bought two, because I thought I would use both, but I don't. I live in Columbia, MD and only want to sell locally.

Hi All, Here is a technique I came up with to brew multiple quart batches, at once, to try different ingredients. I plan to add this as a tutorial but the whole reserve posts thing seemed to be a pain, so for now, here's a direct link. Try ingredients before brewday Hope you find it useful!

I recently added my label to the Show Us Your Label thread and after seeing so many incredible designs, I thought that it would also be nice if people provided their workflow and/or tips they use to design their labels. This isn't limited to just Photoshop but I figured its a tool that lots...

I just came to the conclusion that I am. I bought my home during the housing boom. These days, I couldn't buy my house if I was a first time home buyer. I have some cool neighbors a few blocks away, but some neighbors that have lived here for some time, look down on my brewing hobby. Many of...

Ok, so I decided to make 10 gal of Kolsch for a fantasy football draft party. I went through my normal process and everything went flawless. The OG was 1.053. My old reliable freezer went up in smoke, so in a panic I bought a new one from Wal-Mart (which BTW, if you live in MD, you can get a $75...

I'm trying to come up with a easy drinking light beer for a fantasy football draft party. I have Simpson's golden naked oats and was thinking of adding them to my blonde ale. Yooper stated how much she likes them and I have them on hand. I haven't used them in something like this but figured the...

Hi All, I'm going to do a decoction mash soon and I was wondering if anyone has boiled their mash in a nylon bag, elevated slightly off the bottom to avoid scorching the grain instead of stirring their arm off. It seems like it could work, so I figured I'd throw it out there.

For those interested understanding the BIAB approach to all-grain, I posted my brewday. It is similar to TKNice's process but has some differences. http://www.brewgeeks.com/a-biab-brewday-scoundrel.html

I usually don't freak out about these things and really am not concerned. I'm more curious of the outcome. I whipped up a Motley Brew IPA with a bunch of leftover hops. The OG was 1.060. It went through the normal ferment and finished up about 2 weeks later. I let it sit another couple weeks for...

I'm getting a large ss bayou classic brew kettle for christmas and it comes with the steam basket. I have a BIAB setup and would like to use the basket for simplicity and to take the stress off the bag when brewing 10+ gallon batches. I was wondering if anyone has tried this. I'd specifically...

I'm making a tripel and was thinking of adding cherries. The problem is the cherries will darken the beer, so I was looking for a spice alternative. I saw a thread where someone suggested using the spice mahlab in beer. It's the seed of the St Lucie Cherry and it has a sour cherry/bitter almond...

Ok hear me out on this. I've been brewing AG batches for a while. All of the batches were BIAB in a 9 gallon pot. I was recently given a 10 gallon Igloo cooler. Up until now, the maximum amount of grains I could brew with was about 14 lbs. I would like to increase the amount of grains to up to...

I brewed a beer in March and its still on the yeast cake. I know there's all the fear out there regarding leaving beer on the yeast cake too long but really is it going to ruin the beer? I could see Saccharomyces beers might get funky but Brett beers already are. Anyway, I was just curious if...

So I've been building up a starter for an oktoberfest kit that was given to me as a gift. I've been adding wort a little at a time since the yeast is a tad old. My wife called me for help right when I was adding a quart of wort. I forgot to pull the funnel and put the foil back over it. It was...

Hi All, I've been home brewing both extract and (when time permits) all-grain for a couple of years now. I'm hoping some of you grain experts can help. There are several commercial beers I've drank such as Firestone Walker Union Jack , Bell's Two Hearted IPA, Smuttynose FinestKind IPA and...

Ok, so after deliberating for quite some time with my friend who's also a member of homebrewtalk (TKNice), we decided to come up with a concept for a fermentation chamber. We saw many great ideas but most, if not all, required using ice to control temperature or dedicate a refrigerator. We...

So I need to brew tonight since I'm leaving on vacation. I pre-make starters in a pressure cooker at 15lbs pressure for 20 minutes. I grabbed one of my jars, shook it and set it aside while opening my yeast. When I opened the jar I didn't get the typical vacuum seal Psst sound. At the time I...

So I brewed a batch of lemon wheat for a friends party using Sorachi Ace late in the boil. I would like to add a "dry zest" of lemon zest to the keg. The problem is that I don't know how much to add. 1oz... 5oz... Has anyone had experience with lemon zest in secondary or keg? Any advice is most...
