So below you will see my take on the StillDragon controller build. If you see something obviously wrong please let me know. I really wish I had used actual 10-3 service cable instead of 10-3 Romex. The Romex is not very flexible. I may re-wire it in the future when I add a display to it...

So now that I'm buying everything in bulk I wanted to whip up an IPA from mostly bulk ingredients I have purchased. I made the beer below and it was amazing. This is a Double Malt and Double Hop IPA. Very easy to make. Very delicious as well. Beautiful color! I made this for a game night we...

So I've been homebrewing for 7+ years now. I've been kegging for probably 5 of those 7 years. About 4 of the 5 years kegging was fine, until we moved... I've recently ran into a hurdle that I can't get over. My beer will NOT carbonate. I've replaced the lines, the regulator, both taps, I've...

So my pub shed is near completion, I'll post pics later on in a different forum. I purposely ran 220 out to it so that I could switch to eBIAB. Well the drywall and wall paper are up, the exhaust fan is wired, and it's finally time to do this. I'm excited to finally be able to brew in my pub...

So I've been wanting a gravity sculpture for a while now and after the wife shot down me spending $500 for that one that was on sale over at morebeer last week I decided to take matters into my own hands and build my own. It's 90% done now, I'll add more pics after I finish it up tonight or...

I basically took this recipe and bumped it up to a 10 gallon batch size. Here's what I came up with: 25lbs = Munich II Dark Malt (78%) 5lbs = Pils 2-row (15%) 8oz = CaraAroma 1.8lbs = Caramunich 3oz = Hallertauer WY2206 (Bavarian Lager) OG: 1.084 FG: 1.016 IBU: 20.0 Color: 17.1...

So the wife and I purchased our first house :ban: The new house has a brewery in the back yard :ban: Okay so some uneducated people might call it a big ass, multi-level shed and not a brewery but trust me, it's a brewery :rockin: Here's the issue, I haven't had time to insulate or heat/cool...

So I brewed a batch of EdWort's Pale Ale, bottled half of it, stuck it in the basement to condition, and accidentally forgot about it. Fast forward 9 months, we purchased our first house and I'm packing up the basement of the old place and stumble across 52 bottles of EdWort's PA. I brewed it...

So my beer filtration system was delivered today. I have a question before I use it. I typically brew 10 gallon batches, I then keg half (1 keg) and bottle the rest. If I filter my beer will there be enough yeasties left in the beer to eat the priming sugar and carb the bottles? Sounds...

I'm making my wife her Blueberry wheat she likes, the full recipe is below if you need it. Here's the trouble, I live in Wichita, KS and neither homebrew store here has my Wyeast 1010 - American Wheat in stock. I'm brewing this Sunday so ordering online isn't an option. Here's some more...

Okay so I rolled the dice and went ahead and purchased that 20 gallon pot on Amazon that comes with a valve and thermometer even though it had zero reviews. I got it for $150 shipped with no sales tax. I figured since it was shipping direct from Amazon if I had any issues returning it would be...

So I forgot to add the Irish moss on brew day and now my IPA is a bit mirky. Anyone know of any finings that are safe to use in a keg? I know wine makers have this clear stuff they can add to wine to clear it up...

So my last batch of beer didn't turn out right but no one could put their finger on what happened to it. The weird thing was it was my house beer, I'd made it many times and it always turned out great. So fast forward to last night. I'm moving my Pliney clone from the secondary to the keg and...

Due to stuff happening, my wort sat for about a week before I was able to pitch the yeast. Luckily it was not infected. I'm made this same recipe about 4 times now but this batch tastes off. Is there some nasty side-effect that happens if you don't pitch within 24 hours? The beer...

Okay so due to the new kiddo my brewing availability has been severely reduced. Because of this I'm going to attempt to do a 10 gallon batch but I don't really have all the required equipment, but I think I can make it work. Let me know if you see any major problems with this plan...

So I have the same issue probably 99% of you have, my friends have discovered I make good beer. When we game at my house, which happens every Sunday, the kegs get hit pretty hard. With the new kiddo I don't get very much time to brew so I'm thinking of whipping up a 10 gallon batch of NB's...

So after your MLT sits for 60 minutes and you complete your vorlauf, how fast are you supposed to let the MLT drain? The AG Tutorials don't really mention a speed, but I got the impression they drain it pretty quickly. The instructions from NB say that this process is supposed to go very slow...

So I wanted to do an AG version of the White House Honey Ale. In my infinite wisdom I walked blindly into my local homebrew store and asked them if they could convert it to AG for me. This should have been my warning: The employees original estimate came to a 14lbs grain bill. I informed...

I was planning to brew last weekend, but it didn't happen, and I forgot to put my vial of yeast back in the fridge. It's now been sitting at room temp for about 7 days. It's still factory sealed, think it's okay to use?
