Ok. So I'm a moderately experienced home brewer (~50 batches in). These days I tend to get results I'm very happy with with one exception -- recently I've had a string of bottle infections. I was hoping to give some details about where I am in my troubleshooting process because I'm not sure what...

Hi all. I just got a slightly larger brew-pot (30qt) for my setup. However, it doesn't have any volume-measurements on it, and I really need some for my process. Anyone have experience adding volume measurements to a stainless pot? I'd prefer the markings on the interior, but they'll...

Recently had a bunch of trouble with my 7 gal ROPAK buckets leaking around the gasket for the bottling/racking nozzle. Bought new nozzles, w new gaskets and I'm still having some issues. Anyone else deal with this nonsense before? Thanks in advance.

Alright folks, last week I brewed my first CDA (or black IPA, or whatever you wanna call it). However, for a twist I decided to use Wyeast 2112. I've heard that this yeast does fantastic things with very hop-forward beers. My question is this: I'm definitely dry hopping, but I'm also thinking...

Hey all, I've done about 25 specialty grain/extract brews and am plotting a move to partial mash (no space for full-on AG:() My question is the following: Does anyone have an accurate way of measuring the gravity of DME? I use Breiss pilsen or extra light for my extract (to sub for...
