Haven't brewed in a few years, so I'm selling everything. For sale in Macomb County. Prices and quantities as shown in spreadsheet screenshots, or make me an offer. Keezer will not be broken into parts. Local sales preferred, shipping would be at extra cost. Pics available on request. Please PM...

I'll be in town on business from Sunday evening until Tuesday evening.... I'm from MI and I'm hoping to try some brews I can't get at home. What are some good beer bars or bottle shops in the area? I'll be staying at the Marriott near the airport, so close to there would be ideal. Thanks!

I'm using WLP007 to ferment this, and I am unsure what temperature I should target. I live in MI and haven't had this beer before, so I don't know the yeast character. I have a dedicated chest freezer for fermentation, and can control temps rather well. White Labs suggests 65-70 for this...

Hey all... I've been having an astringent off flavor in some of my beers (especially the pale ones), and I'm going to start using RO water to see if my tap water is the problem. I'm about to do my first batch using 100% RO water, and it's a porter. I know the primer says to skip the acid...

This is my first crack at creating a recipe for an IIPA. Going for a piny/citrus/pineapple hop character and a touch of nuttyness and caramel sweetness to go with the mostly pale malt background. I do want it to finish pretty dry and crisp. I'm open to suggestions, so please leave comments...

Man, am I the only one who cringes when I check out at the bottle shop and watch the cashier mishandle my beer (singles, bombers, 4- or 6-packs)? I had a pretty good score today, but I'm bummed... I have to wait until tomorrow to try any of it so the yeast can settle back out after the...

I just got this in my email today.... How's my water? Thanks in advance!

So, this beer is still a little green (just barely carbed in the keg), but I think I'll be making this again. I based this on the recipe from Zymurgy, but tweaked a couple things: 1. Increased the 2-row (just to use the last pound or so I had left). 2. Increased the pale malt a little (can't...

When I converted my cooler to a MLT, I made a copper manifold. I've been getting good efficiency into the kettle, but I've been having a hard time getting my wort to clear when lautering. I think this is mostly due to some of the slots on my manifold being wider than I meant them to be (my...

I purchased this from William's Brewing a few months ago, and it's worked great. But I just found a great deal on craigslist: 2 full medical grade O2 tanks with regulators for $50. They come with a 1/4" barb, but the wand is maybe 1/8". Is there an adapter that I can buy? Any other...

I recently cultured some of Bell's ale yeast from their Amber Ale. :rockin: I'd like to add it to my inventory in Beersmith, but I was hoping somebody could help me out with the properties: Attenuation %: Min and Max? Flocculation: (I'm pretty sure this is low or medium, based on my...

And it was nice to be able to talk in person with people who are passionate about the "hobby" for a few hours. As nice as it is to chat on HBT, there is no substitute for real life conversations. :rockin:

A few weeks ago, I posted looking for some recipe critique. I made some changes, and here is what I came up with: Type: All Grain Date: 12/18/2011 Batch Size (fermenter): 5.50 gal Brewer: Jeremy Boil Size: 8.27 gal Asst Brewer: Boil Time: 75 min Equipment: JEREMY Pot and Rectangle...

Just what the question says... I made my second AG batch this weekend. I got a Barley Crusher and based on many of the posts on here, I expected (perhaps due to a misunderstanding of what people were posting about) to see my brewhouse efficiency hit the 80's. My mash efficiency was about 82%...

This will be my second AG batch, and I'll finally have a chance to brew it over the holidays, near Jan 1, 2012. The batch will definitely be after Christmas some time, I'm getting a freezer/ferm chamber and stir plate that I'll be dying to use! :rockin: I'd like some feedback on the recipe...
