I have some falconer flight, norther brewer, unopened refrigerated. Couple years old. Think they will work for anything ? On another note. I picked up cryo hops. Cascade at over 12%alpha. whats best way to use these “new to me” style hops?

Life got in the way of brewing. Cleaning brew room to get back into it. Found all of my buckets were split on the bottom ? Wow just sitting. Any reason why ? So I’m looking at the Big mouth pet carboys and some of the conicals out there. Any recommendations ? Also been hearing about new hop...

Anyone got a good snack stick recipe using tender quick? So far only cure I have. Thanks

Ive been smoking for ever it seems. But I want to start making sausage. So far all has been fresh so no cure needed. I want to make sticks,summer sausage. I've found recipes calling for #1 or #2 or instacure or mortons tender quick. I know 1 & 2 are NOT interchangable but isnt instacure or...

Whats the best way to position the temp probe? Put in glass of water? tape and insulate to bucket? Then move it to newest bucket ? Figure gonna be some short cycling if just hanging in the air.

All 3 batches so far done in the grainfather have been hazy. The wort is clear when the boil is done,very clear. I run it thru the cfc and add yeast and put in fermenter. could the fact that the cfc takes 200* wort in and puts out 60* cause a problem? I love the fact that cooling time is only...

I just punched in Yoopers house pale ale in brewers friend and it says it has an og 1.025 and abv of 2.52??? 152* mash using 1056 yeast ??? What did I do wrong? Always seemed right on extract recipes. I'll be doing all grain as soon as GF arrives. The first few known recipes but wow I'd need...

Ok been putting up lot of posts asking about stuff to go all grain,making shopping list and I stumbled upon the Grainfather. I think all I need is a little push to get me going. Seems easy enough for someone never doing all grain before. Someone with 4 kids in house to be distractions of...

I am getting a bigger kettle and going all grain. wondering if anyone knows about the kitchen aid grain mills? I have two kitchenaids and thought maybe that be way to go or do you recommend something else? or to start just order grain crushed?

(not sure where I was to put this) I'm ready to get a 10 gallon kettle and start getting away from extracts. Start with biab. Anyone know anything about this product? Price looks good but if not quality doesnt matter I guess. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009SKU4PE/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...

Got my stir plate done and working. WOW that stir bar rattling on glass bottom really loud . Is that normal? Where do you all hide these things ? I cant imagine how loud it will be in a house at about 2 am

How can I check out the lil start assist device on my fridge that I use for fermentation chamber? ptcb ? I think is what its called. If it was a start capacitor I would know. Compressor pulling 10 amps for about 90 seconds and shuts down on overload. Found part online but $50 to experiment is...

Was reading a old thread about not using secondary, primary for a month. Then go to keg. Sounded as if all were using canes to transfer. I've been using bottling buckets as my fermenters lately and transferring via spout to spout to secondary. I was gonna make an oatmeal stout that I want to...

I'm wanting to take my beer with me on a 10 day camp in October,but taking the keezer is not an option. So i need to bottle some. If I keg half a batch and bottle half do I just cut the priming sugar in half? May seem like a dumb question but I've noticed other things in recipes aren't cut or...

What does rye do to a beer recipe? Is it something to be added to an existing or should you create one around the rye. Got a couple pounds so just wondering.

I'm still learning here and still extract brewing. I've got 3 batches worth of extract coming. (golden light). I made a mostly mosaic batch thats carbing. Its ok almost too much tangerine, got a citra in secondary, and a cascade citra in primary. So I thought I'd see what ideas you experts...
