Anybody try a clone of this, or found a recipe for it? Looking to make it soon, but can't find anything.

I submitted this to recipes forum, but got a couple views and replies only. Wanted some more input, so I'm casting a line out in the beginners section. This is cool. A local microbrew, just opened, is doing a homebrew collaboration. They're making a simple pale ale wort: modest bitterness at...

To our local homebrew club, don't call me out on this one, please. To everyone else, this is cool. A local microbrew, just opened, is doing a homebrew collaboration. They're making a simple pale ale wort: modest bitterness at 35 IBU and OG in the 1.050 range. There will be no added...

AHHH!!! I've been working on a clone diligently for a while now. My friend sent me his giant list of Beer Alchemy recipes and I had imported them. My clone and all its batches were hanging out in between his recipes. My mac now needs to be mailed to MacLand to get fixed. I thought I'd back...

Hey there, I'm trying a shot at a clone for the first time. I love Widmer's Brrr! seasonal winter warmer (with HOPS). I live in Oklahoma, which is like you might imagine is like living in Oklahoma. They aren't shipping Brrr here this year, just Coors. So I'm going to clone it. I've checked...

This is a new problem for me! I started my yeast starter yesterday with a vial of WLP051, 1/2 gallon of 1.040 slightly hopped wort. I cooled it in a 1 gallon, clean and sanitized jug using sanitized equipment. It took off like it always does. I accidentally added my stir bar to my last 5...

Hey Gang, My efficiency has recently become cruddy. Also, my beer consistency is not as magical as I'd like it to be. I've recently tried a very failed attempt at recirculating mash by draining a gallon at a time, heating it, and putting it back. [stupid moron face with burned hands]. As...

Am I a genius, or about to be an idiot? Don't answer that. Just hear me out. My little stir bar just can't seem to get going. However, those little magnet balls that are shiny and metallic work great with my fan magnet set up. They spin like mad. Does anyone think they could cause problems in a...

Sages, I'm excited to start this project. I've been enjoying many of the Keezer threads and have tried to absorb as much knowledge as possible. Now, I'm ready to embark on my own build project. I'll be expanding an antique radio to become a cabinet style keezer. I begin this thread...

Good afternoon everyone. I've purchased a cheap chest freezer for serving my beer. I'm also thinking about doing a fermentation chamber, one day. The power company has a new gig where they come out and install a fancy thermostat for your AC. I already had one that was programmable, and...

Hey gang, Just wondering... I'm trying to compare expected prices of newish equipment to some used stuff. There's lots of cheap chest freezers on the market. If I started there and wanted to have about 4 taps going, how much money am I looking at in the regulator, the taps - all but the...

We've been doing all grain for a few batches, usually 10 gallons at a time. However, we decided on a 5 gallon batch and mashed it up, boiled it, cooled it, and put in the carboy - all serene. Then, perhaps because we were drinking quite a bit of a previous batch (which tasted marvelous), we...

Our group is working on our equipment - putting together bits and pieces at a time. We built a sweet mash tun, a keggle, and bought a plate chiller. Then, I knew we'd have to filter out the hops at the bottom (pellets) for the chiller. From the local asian supermarket, I bought a stainless...

I did several searches on HBT to figure out the answer to my questions, but didn't find anything. HBT searching is sometimes fruitless. How would you advise me to pre-brew sanitize my Duda plate chiller - I'm hearing some people bake theirs - how hot? Any danger in this? I would also...

I swear I tried a ton of different search words to figure this out - but haven't. Many, or most, of the recipes in the database are for 6 gallon batches. Well, if I spend the time to mash and boil, I'd rather use the full capacity of my keggle to make a 10 gallon batch. Then, split it into...

Masters, teach this foolish grasshopper. I'm thinking about connecting my bulkhead to a stainless filter that will fit on the bottom of my keggle via silicone tubing. Is that the craziest idea you've ever heard of? I actually have enough copper 1/2 in around to make a dip tube, I just...
