I brewed a 10 gal barleywine Sunday and was shooting for 1.114 and ended up at 1.104 split into 2 carboys. Each carboy received 3 packets of SAF-05 rehydrated yeast and fermentation temps are around 67 degrees (ambient). The beer temps are sitting between 71-72 right now and blowoff activity...

Put up a DIY drip irrigation system for my hops that seems to be working great so far. Best part is it only cost around $20! Well, I already had the bucket so that would have added another $10. Here's the whole writeup: http://www.brewgeeks.com/drip-irrigation.html

Hey all, Our site BrewGeeks has been up for a couple of months now and although the blog is rolling along nicely, we are always looking for more DIY projects to post. It's been quite a challenge looking through the hundreds of pages of threads in this section and sifting through all of the...

This is not a huge DIY project, but I took some pictures of the cables we hung last year to grow hops. Can't wait to see how they come up this season! http://www.brewgeeks.com/grow-hops.html -TK

I recently moved to doing 10 gallon batches and I knew it would increase the amount of beer that we have available, but didn't realize how cool it would be to experiment. An example I've done so far is dry hopping one and not the other for a comparison (and it really is pretty amazing how...

Hey Guys, I'm really not sure where to post this, but since I've loved checking out everyone's projects over the years, I thought I would post a link to some of ours. I've been working on a website called BrewGeeks and the goal is to keep it up to date with homebrewing news and funny articles...

Hey Guys, Who is willing to post their favorite recipe?? One of the great things about homebrewing is we brew whatever we like and change it up constantly, but sometimes you come back to the same reciple again and again because it's so damn tasty! I want to steal your reciple!! :tank...

Hey Guys, quick question about refractometers... I used mine for the first time recently and recorded a few results througout the mash that puzzled me a little. At 45 min, my mash was 19 which I think is around 1.076. 30 min was 17 and 1.068 15 min was 15 and 1.060 0 min was 13 and...

Okay, I'll admit it.. I would watch any nature show this narrator puts out.

Hey Guys, Someone asked that I post pics when I made a PSI guage so here you go. Why do you need one? Well, when you store kegs for a period of time, you want to make sure the CO2 in the beer is fully absorbed so an adequate seal is maintained until you are ready to cool it for serving. You...

Just wanted to share my excitement... Got a Thermapen and a stir plate coming this week and I'm doing my first AG batch this weekend! SO EXCITED! :mug:
