Brewed up my first all grain last night. Used Edworts Haus Ale recipe. I did so much reading and research before hand it almost felt natural to be brewing in this way. Did my math when everything this was put away and I'm got about 73% efficiency, which I think maybe due to my sparge. In the...

Here's a nice article about a great local brewery. http://stlouis.bizjournals.com/stlouis/stories/2010/04/05/story8.html?b=1270440000^3132291 "Craft beers continue to grow in popularity nationally. While the overall beer industry experienced sales declines of about 2.2 percent last...

So my brother drove down from Chicago last weekend to help brew up a brown ale and dry stout extract batches. Well, lets just say that the bug bit him hard! On Monday he emailed me a laundry list of questions about mash tuns and kettles?! Needless to say he is joining our ranks, and going...

I wonder if this will make the triple hops taste better :rolleyes: http://www.brandweek.com/bw/content_display/news-and-features/direct/e3ie9fc421daf51cf82929c907b22bff458?pn=1

whew, that took awhile. and don't worry, that is Cider there on the left, no worries about the clear bottles.

Has anyone brewed up a Stout using kolsch yeast? anything to be concerned about?

Brewed up a Red Ale last night and half way through the boil for my Brown Ale right now. What a great weekend, but I have to get off this stove top, 2.5Gallons takes about 25min to get up to a boil. Next brew, I'm getting a turkey fryer and a bot big enough for 5 Gallon boils ! As a side...

Since it seems that Best Buy is no longer carrying our favorite 4912, and I can't find it anywhere else locally, I was curious if anyone has converted the Oster 5.0 cu ft fridge seen here. Oster - 5.0 Cu. Ft. Compact Refrigerator - Silver - OR5005M3M if so, any tips? any coolant lines...

Anyone going to this? http://www.stlbrewfest.com/ SWMBO and myself are going on Friday night.

The benefit of working for a company with a Digital Design department. 1 six pack of home brew later . SWMBO grew up on Hickory St. and I grew up on Marcus.

I have a hefe that has been in primary for 2 weeks, used wyeast 3068, O.G. was 1.051, just took the lid off because I want to rack this onto some raspberries and there is still a krausen? I took a gravity reading and i'm showing it at 1.011, instructions from AustinHomeBrew say that i should...

So I can't seem to find a definitive answer to my raspberry question. I'm currently fermenting my hefeweizen and want to add raspberries to the secondary. I plan on using frozen raspberries and was curious about how much. I've read some people have put 4lbs, but some people more/less . I...

I see that the Sanyo 4912 is the most popular mini fridge to convert. I was curious what other brand/models people have had success with? I'm looking to do a two keg system with draft tower. Thanks, Livewir

So I just popped the top on my second brew, a brewers best red ale kit. It seems I have a chill haze problem, my first brew had this as well (brewers best pale ale) I attributed the first brew's problem to accidentally steeping the grains too hot . 2lbs Light DME 3.3Lbs Light LME ( late...

I'm fermenting a Shiner Bock clone right now and was thinking about doing a barleywine in a few weeks. I'm using Saflager S-23 yeast. Does anyone thing it would be a problem using the yeast cake from the lager for the barleywine? It will be hanging out in my basement which stays a pretty...

I brewed a Brewers Best American Pale Ale kit. 1 week in Primary until I hit my gravity, 1 week in secondary and only 3 days so far in the bottle. It has a bit of carbonation and it's cloudy, but damned if my first brew doesn't taste too bad. It can only go up from here right!? I have a red...

Just a quick question to everyone. How do you dry your siphon tube and racking cane? I haven't figure out a quick way to do it. thanks, LiveWir
