I've been making sugar washes with turbo yeast to make "wine coolers" and things like that for the wife, was wondering how I could make something like this but more like a beer. I'm going to stay clear of the turbo yeast for this one and try distillers yeast. How much LME (5 gallon batch) would...

I have a 1/6th sanke keg here in great shape was legally bought from local brewery. I've only used it to ferment in but looking for a 1/4bbl sanke. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Little over a year ago I bought a keg - keg filter kit for my brewing setup. Now that I've bought a house and have done a few under par beers I've narrowed it down to the poor tap water here, the water supply is a swamp (literally, no joke) and the put alot of chemicals in it so I want to use...

Hey guys. I been brewing outside on a propane burner since I started AG last spring. I have 3 batches to get done soon, but lately it's been -15 and windy, I know holding mash temps are gonna be a nightmare, if I can even keep the burner lit. I was thinking I'd find any easy way to brew indoors...

Was at the beer store earlier and saw a 6 pack of Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Having never tried (or even saw) a commercial Oktoberfest I grabbed it. I really like it! This has a little film of sediment in the bottom of the bottles, which I thought was strange. I didn't think they bottle...

Im wondering if you had the space and supplies to do this, could you make a single vial last forever? Say I took a single vial of WL001 and made a starter for a 5g batch. Then I pitch that into a 5g 1.030 starter. Harvest all that yeast and separate into vials. This should last for plenty of...

My sister is going on a trip to Houston this week and I was wondering what kind of craft beer can be bought there? My favorite commercial beers are hobgoblin, Rickards White (blue moon) and Irish reds, any recommendations on some good craft beer I can ask her to bring back? There isn't too many...

I live on the east coast of Canada, fly to/from Alberta to work as a truck driver. March/April are usually slowest months of the year for working in Alberta because of everything thawing out. My fiancé is 7 months pregnant so I'd like to take a month or 2 off starting mid February to be home...

Hey guys! I'm not a regular smoker by any means, but on occasion I like to have the odd cigarette or cigar. I've have a few cigars I liked, but I really love Marlboro red cigarettes. How can I get some of these in Canada? I don't think the duties and taxes would be outrageous, probably...

Been doing some research on Ringwood and I plan to use this yeast a lot in the future. I read in a thread a guy was trying to clone DFH 60 minute IPA, but could not get the distinct flavour found in the DFH. Someone replied and explained that Sam Calagione has washed and reused the yeast so many...

OK this project is a long ways off but to save a few bucks I'm going to start scouring the classifieds for a mini fridge right now. I'm going to build a fermentation chamber from the fridge, and would like to be able to ferment the odd 10g batch in a 1/2bbl sanke. Can anyone tell me one/any/all...

This antique refrigerator just popped up on the local classifieds for sale and the guy says it works great. I'm wondering how many ball locks will fit in this thing. I'm also hoping this thing has the "easily removeable" style freezer instead of two separate compartments. I'm waiting for the guy...

Im about to build a keezer soon, and also planned on having a fermentation chamber down the road. Id probably have my keezer set at about 7-8*C. If I wanted to ferment in the keezer, could I pick up another temp controller and use a brew pad under the fermenter? Probably be inefficient but...

Would like to try to grow some yeast for my clone, but worried its a lager yeast used to bottle, anybody tried it?

I have a setup for a keezer to tap 3 corny kegs, but would like to have a commercial beer once in a while. I saw the conversion kits for sanke to corny kegs, but do anyone sell the kit for some already using corny kegs to go to sanke?

Thinking of selling my 10g blichman. No false bottom, has stainless ball valve, diptube, thermometer, and sight glass. Great shape, used it for BIAB, and only used it for 3 batches. Paid $429+ tax for this at the lhbs, expensive I know but was cheaper then shipping it. I really don't know what...

I made a 6 gallon batch of Oktoberfest a few months ago and just bottled last Thursday (15th). I know fermentation was complete and I didn't add any yeast at bottling. I had a packet of dextrose from brewhouse kit I did about 8 months ago and I mixed that with a cup of boiled and cooled water...

I'm thinking about running my electrical to my future brewing area in my basement. Right now my plan is 5500w element in an eBIAB setup with a pump. If someday I decide to upgrade to a 3 vessel system I'd like to not have to redo wiring. Question is what amp rated cable and breaker should I go...

M searching for a good blue moon clone to brew for my next batch, but my search has turned up hundreds of clone recipes. Has anyone tried the recipe on brewmasters warehouse database? That's where I get all my grains. For the guys who have brewed and drank Blue Moon clones before, would you...

Know I might get flamed for this but I need something cleared up. When I read through a recipe I see the boil times and always get confused and think I may be doing things backwards. If a recipe calls for 2oz of kent goldings @ 60 minutes and another oz @ 20 minutes, is this 2oz at the...
