I was just trying to stick with the coffee the recipe calls for. I have a french press and we use Kona coffee so that part was easy. I will probably just grab some other grounds and toss them in the kettle. made the breakfast stout before and the coffee part was a bit too strong, not strong...

I am in Japan and cannot seem to find Sumatra coffee except for a K-cup. How much brewed coffee would you recommend putting into the brew?

The day brewing beer went to hell and took the expressway should be the name of my batch. This was the first batch of beer I brewed as an all grain around two years ago and it came out fine great considering my lack of technique, experience, and equipment. Many batches later I have refined my...

I followed the original recipe about a month ago. Temperature came in perfect. OG a slight bit higher and finished nicely at FG. Next weekend we celebrate my birthday with a beer and BBQ party. This is the showcase beer. I have had a few "samples" and it is easily my favorite beer I have brewed...

I bought the FRF-470-Black from Wal-mart. It supposedly had a refrigerator setting. The first one showed up with a big dent in the side so I had to re-order. The second came in great shape. It does not have the refrigerator setting though. I take the side panel off, popped the tabs for the...

I'm doing the same thing. I am a bit concerned about getting something from the MLT stuck in the little pump's impeller. Next brew day I'm going to use the pump to pump strike water, sparge water, and finally wort through CFC. End of day I'll use it help with clean up. I'm using camlocks with...

It is a 3 gallon recipe. I multiplied by 3.33 to make 10 gallons. I only doubled the yeasts and split the sugar between Belgian candi and table sugar. I have not taken the final gravity but it was at 1.010 last time I checked. Thursday I'm bottling it so it might have lost another point or two...

Best and Cheapest? These are not paralleling options. I don’t think you can get best and cheapest. A sliding scale but I truly believe the little tan pump from Amazon or Ebay is worth the money. I wanted a Chugger but found the tan pump on Amazon and I have a few DC adapters around so $26 and...

That is exactly what we did. It was certainly a group effort for us even if that is not what I wanted. I pumped the wort back into the kettle and checked the temperature. It was nearly ninety. I then looked at the valve on the garden hose and it was barely on. Opened up the chill water and the...

I'm going to piggyback on your post if you don't mind because I have no pictures and mine is setup nearly the same as yours.. I bought a pump and silicone tubing like yours from Amazon and SS camlocks and ball valve from bargain fittings. This past weekend I had friends over to brew a...

If I win I can figure out a way to keep it at a stable temperature.

I live on the East Coast near Melbourne and our water is not bad. I certainly do not mind drinking from the tap. With that said, I normally drink water from a water cooler because I like the taste of it better. I brew out by my pool and the water runs through the garden hose, through an inline...

I plan on working on my sprinklers, cutting the top off a keg, brewing an IPA, having a few homebrews, and hanging out by the pool.

Brewed the recipe as published this afternoon. Brew session went great without any issues. Unlike my normal brew sessions that end up with me having consumed quite a few beers during the session. I am having some pool chemistry issues and had to spend an hour after finishing brewing scrubbing...
