I have four kegs, two 6 gal glass carboys, two 5 gal glass carboys, and one 6 gal better bottle. $250.00 for all or best offer. I live in the Tallahassee, Florida area. Local pick up only. I am not interested in shipping.

Depending on the freshness of the yeast, type of yest, and starting temp you may have a little lag time. What your seeing in the bottom of the fermenter is for sure break material from the boil. I would give it another day. I have had some that were slow to take off. You probably under...

If it is glass hydrometer I would be afraid of breaking it when I tried to get it out. They can be pretty fragile.

I would like to know as well.

I have wondered if 34/70 would do well at warmer temps. Maybe something akin to steam. Has any fermented with it at warmer temps?

I would suggest taking a look at the no chill method. Search it on this site for more info. I used to use a chiller but have fell in love with no chill. By changing over to a single batch sparge and no chill, I have cut an all grain batch down to as little as 2hrs 45 min which icludes clean...

Potassium sorbate is used in wine making to prevent fermentation from restarting. That is probably the culprit.

You could get a 15 gallon glass demi-john from midwest for $60. They also come with those baskets for moving them.

If you are flying, bottle some and cram them into a checked bag. Make you wrap them well cause those baggage guys will break them for you.

5 Gal Strong Scotch Ale 171+5= 176

I would say that is large amount of victory. Every thing I read suggested a max usage of 15%. I am guessing it's going to have a massive toasty/nutty flavor. I bet it still turns fine. A lot of my better beers were as a result of major screw ups on my part. I would pull a sample in a few...

Jim Jeffries. He drinks at least a six pack during his stand up.

I am not sure if you have dirt dobbers in Texas but if you do that could be the culprit. They have plugged my burner before. Compressed air some times will not break up the nest they built. Shove a piece of wire in there to break the nest up and then blow it out. Minus some type of...

I brewed stone's recipe for their chocolate oatmeal stout from Brew your Own. It called for a pound of chocolate malt, 1/2 lb of black barley, and a 1/2 lb of black patent. From the kettle it tasted nice. Still waiting about another month before bottling and getting a good taste of it. Can't...

Fresh hops still has whole hops of Simcoe.

I have used munich extract to do an IPA. I was a fool and used it at 100%. It turned out to be a really good beer but rich and malty. Hard to enjoy more than one or two at a time. If I were to use it again I do not think I would exceed 20%.

I brewed what I called a begian pale ale with Safbrew 06 which is described as a wheat yeast. My impression of it's flavor was along the lines of an american hefe yeast. I plan to retry it in a wheat beer.

I have used this one for about four years. It has probably crushed 400lbs. It has done well for me. THe only difference is I bought the 7 lb model. I was scared the 15lb model would be more top heavy and after a few drinks I suspect I would be more likely to spill it. You also may be able...

I had an issue with dogfish head 90 minute. One of the beers in the four pack was sealed but only was about a third full. I emailed DF and got an email a few weeks later back from Sam. He asked where I got so they could try and figure out what went wrong. He sent me tshirt to make amends.
