My wife had some toasted coconut left over from a pie she made. I want to add it to my winter brown. Should I put it in the mash? It's not a fermentable. Could use some advice here. Thanks! A2H

I am at the point where I want to start experimenting and want to get a 1 gallon kit. With Mid West and Northern Brewer selling out to inBev, can anyone recommend a good place to buy one? Thanks, A2H

I just acquired through a friend a corny keg. It was dirty but cleaned up well. Made its way to Atlanta from New Hampshire. The CO2 post has a twelve point post. It appears to be very old, I'm guessing maybe 60's or 70's. Anyone have any knowledge on this. Very thick stainless. Very sturdy. See...

I just went to rack my pumpkin to secondary and when I pulled it from my fermentor, I had 3 large (palm sized) floating islands of mold on top. I have had problems with my big mouth bubbler for most of this year, I think this thing is letting air in. This is the only thing I can think of that...

I am looking for a club or group that meets on Tue, Wed, Thur or Saturday. Anyone know of one or are interested in starting one? Evenings Only. Been brewing almost two years. Started with extract and have now finished my 6th BIAB batch. I have a pretty good setup and a man cave to do it in...

Last Sunday a brewed a Smash using Maris Otter and Willemette. It was a good brew session, things went well. I cooled down to 65 and oxygenated my wort, and pitched my Ringwood. Here's the problem, I have had this yeast in my fridge since July with intentions of using it much sooner. Beer Smith...

I have an activator pack of American Ale yeast that seems to be expanding on its own in my beer fridge. I have it separated from other stuff so there has been no impact. Has anyone seen this happen before? the pack looks 1/3 full right now. Its been in my fridge 3 weeks. The other pack I have is...

Well I finally got all the pieces together and am going to build my fermentor. I got an STC-1000 from E Bay and found one that read in F, unfortunately it only has one relay instead of two. My mistake, didn't read all the way through. Its okay though summer is coming and I only need cooling now...

I saw this idea on Brewers Friend and thought it was clever. I had most of the components and only needed a bucket and the light socket. For less than $6 I had something to tinker with for an afternoon. I took my BBQ probe thermometer and put it in the can with a 40W light bulb. After leaving it...

I just popped my second partial mash. It is a Hazelnut Brown recipe from my LHBS. It called for Hazelnut extract 1-2 tsps. I like a good Hazelnut flavor so I added 2 at racking. The brew has been in the bottle 3 weeks. The beer has a tacky after taste of extract not in any of my other beers. Is...

I have a great bottle set up. See the Sanitation Station photo under equipment. I collected most of that for free, right place, right time no joke. Its what started me brewing. I have been brewing for 7 months. Good results and I am very happy with the results. I have just done my first partial...
