    Moon Creek Brewing Supply

    Has anyone ever purchased from them? Recently? They had a really good deal on a Ss Brewbucket, so I gave it a shot. The website looks legit. (www.mooncreekbrewing.com) I placed my order on Sunday and got a automated response. I haven't noticed any movement on my order and started looking...

    Can I harvest top crop yeast now???

    I've got an IPA going that I used WY1318 on. Today is day 6 and I'm well past high krausen. I had a lot of yeast come out airlock (I filled the fermenter too full). I have since learned quite a bit about top cropping yeasts such as this. I haven't opened the lid to the bucket, but it is still...

    Did I blow out all my yeast???

    So, I’ve never had this problem.....I filled my fermenting bucket a bit too full and get quite a bit of blow out thru the airlock. It was most wort at first, then what appeared to be some hop trub, (I’m cleaning it all off the top of the bucket periodically) then the prettiest, creamy, thickest...

    Took a chance on cheap CO2 tank....

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/20-lb-New-Aluminum-CO2-Tank-CGA-320-Valve-Homebrew-Beer-Kombucha-Ships-Free/132402169525?hash=item1ed3c8c6b5:g:oJ4AAOSwdSRaDpuU I may not get it, but $33 and free shipping on a 20lb tank? Too good to be true usually is, but for $33 I can afford it.....I'll let you...

    Citrusy APA/IPA w/Mandarina Hops

    I'm looking to make something hoppy and citrusy that isn't very high in alcohol. I'm looking for a little help with the hop schedule. Please critique and opine at will. I'm open to suggestion on timing and amount, but not ingredients. Thanks! (edit) This is a 5.5 gallon batch. Water...

    FT: Zombie Dust & Necron 99 ISO: Pliny the Elder

    This is my first try at this, so here's hoping. Are there any west coast friends who would like to try some 3 Floyd's? As you can see in the pic, the ZD was bottled 07/05/17....this stuff is fresh!!! The Necron 99 was bottled 6/20/17. Wanting to trade these for two bottles of PTE if anybody is...

    Weird separation. Any thoughts?

    This has been cold crashed for about three months ( I got busy, ok?). I take it out today to transfer to a keg and see this. Very dark top layer, fading into a lighter shade. The trub layer on bottom is obviously separate from the beer. Any thoughts? This is a cream ale. It blew up on me in...

    Does anybody use ITC-308S 12" probe?

    I'm about to purchase an ITC-308 unit for my fermentation chamber. I currently use an ITC-1000 and have the temp probe insulated against the side of the fermenter. I'm thinking the 308s version with the 12" probe that could protrude into the wort would be more accurate, but I'm wondering if...

    Keep beer or toss it???

    Well, I suppose you don't ever need a blow off tube......until you do. Just lost almost half of my 5.5gal Yooper's Cream Ale to the bottom of my ferm chamber. Scared the crap out of the wife! So.....I sat the carboy out, uncovered for about 30 mins while i cleaned up. I cleaned and sanitized...

    Wyeast 1332 in an Irish Red?

    So, the closest HBS is 45 from me. Luckily, a co-worker lives where, so I had him pick up some stuff for me over the weekend. I have an Irish Red scheduled in the near future, so I asked for WLP004 or Wyeast 1084. I GOT....Wyeast 1332.:confused: So, reading, I see this is similar? to other...

    Filling Sanke thru the spear question

    For those of you who use sanke kegs and transfer via siphon, do you go thru the spear (check valves removed)? Is splashing a big issue? I have seen some posts about filling the keg upside down thru the gas port? How does this work? Info on your experiences is appreciated!

    Question about scorching

    I'm trying to learn as much as I can to decide what route I want to build my home brewing system into. One of the concerns I've seen is that with a RIMS system, the wort needs to be moving fast enough over the element to prevent scorching. But, For those who use a heating element in the boil...

    Fresh As Helles by Sam Adams

    Has anybody else tried it? I am normally an IPA guy, and SA has a lot of hit or miss beers....but I am totally in love with this! I would bathe in it if I could afford it. I hope somebody here decides they like it enough to attempt a clone.

    Kegged IPA Question

    I've got a Cascade IPA on tap in the kegerator with 2oz dry hops in the keg (in a nylon stocking suspended about halfway down the dip tube). This has been very tasty for the last two weeks. It has gotten significantly clearer from glass to glass and the color has improved as well. Last night...

    Please Analyze My Water Analysis

    I just got my results back from Ward Labs. I'm running great tasting well water out in the country, and I've been making great tasting beers (light and dark). This test doesn't include Iron and Phosphorus. I had another, less complete test done before that included those. Iron is less than...

    Frozen Cider in Keg! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED???

    So, I just went out to my shed with my nifty "we don't need no stinking beer gun" rig to bottle my wife some of her apple cider (9% apfelwien diluted with apple juice to 5%). I took the keg out of the fridge, disconnected the line to the faucet, purged the tank, connected the "beergun" line, and...

    Uses for Bell's Yeast

    I'm in the process of attempting to harvest the yeast from some TH, but I don't have any brews planned to use it in immediately. I see that Bell's uses their house yeast in a lot of different styles. So far, I've stuck with S-04 and S-05, and I'm just curious what other folks have used the...

    Risky Kegs? Advice?

    So, I'm a cheap bastard. I have two new kegs currently, but I have room for two more. I don't really want to shell out any money for new or used ones right now. So, my father has two corny kegs from the 80's that he used to use to spray malathion, round up, and various other chemicals in...

    Should I bother with cold crash?

    I've got a Cascade IPA in the ferm chamber right now. I'm going to naturally carb in the keg and dry hop in the keg when primary is done. Should I even bother with a cold crash and gelatin fining since I'm doing this? I assume the dryhop and in-keg natural carb will just muck up clarity again...
