Just heard about the group buy today- I have participated in this one before. I am happy to place an order if someone will send me log in info.

Hello all. This past weekend I brewed an Oktoberfest lager using WLP830. It is currently happily fermenting in my swamp cooler at a reasonably constant 53 degrees. My question: I am leaving for my honeymoon in one week, and I am certain it will not be done fermenting. I will not be able to watch...

Excellent, thank you. I will get a better pump (I like the idea of the drill pump) rather than a bigger chiller. I can use hose water to get it to around 90 degrees, then switch over to the ice water and pump setup. Thanks, y'all.

Thank you...i should be more clear. I have a cheap aquarium-type pump that i used over the weekend, but it's capacity is too low. I thought it would be better to get a pump with more horsepower...

I currently brew 5 gallon batches of all grain, and I use a 25 foot stainless steel immersion chiller. As you can imagine, it can sometimes take 20 or 30 minutes to chill to pitching temperatures, and I anticipate that taking even longer as we get into the summer. So my question: am I better...

I made one with 1 oz of dried flowers, and it was too much-I hated it.

So i brewed two 5 gallon batches of lager a few weeks ago, and it has been fermenting away in my garage since then. The temperature fluctuates moderately between 49 and 54. I took a reading this morning with my refractometer, and i got 6.0 for one batch, 8.0 for the other. I don't really...

Hello all. My third digital probe-style thermometer has just crapped out, so I need a replacement. I am wondering if anyone knows a foolproof way to waterproof those leads-I want to invest in a wireless thermometer so I can watch the temp from inside the house, but no one I know of sells...

Kotbusser is currently my favorite beer. I have brewed it three times already this year, and i will probably do it again soon. Here is my recipe (if you can ferment at 62 degrees, it will taste better).

Thank you-i am sure you are right. Maybe I will scrap the educational portion of this exercise and just hope that it turns out tasty.

Hi all. I am a veteran brewer, but have never really taken the time to learn about the characteristics of specific malts. In addition, i was looking through my ingredients, and i have a lot of leftover malts. So i thought i would make a franken-brew and try to learn about the ingredients. It...

Sorry, but isn't 40 qts the same as 10 gallons? What are the dimensions?

Hmmm. I never thought of that. It's gas, but i guess it would come out 12" or so.

Hi all. I just moved n with my girlfriend, and my 10 gallon kettle does not quite fit on her stovetop-the vent is 1 inch too low. Does anyone have a SLIGHTLY smaller kettle they would trade. Mine is a SS Tall Boy from Northern Brewer-10 gallons. I would go as low as 8 gallons if necessary, but...

I just recently brewed a kolsch and a kottbusser, and my local homebrew club is having a competition. The category is BJCP Amber and Light Hybrids. I used WPL 029 for both beers-could i enter them in that category?

Okay, I am ready to try again. How about this: 8# 2- row 2# flaked corn 4 oz honey malt 1 oz biscuit malt .75 oz cluster WLP080

Thank you again. I don't have any instant rice-what is the process for using long grain rice? I have never used that before.

Crisp and a little dry would be great.

Thank you-maybe cut the honey malt in half? What adjunct would you use? I think i have flaked oats and flaked barley on hand. Not sure i have any rice.

Hi all. I wonder if you'd care to comment on a cream ale I plan to brew tomorrow. 10# 2-row 4 oz honey malt 1 oz biscuit malt .75 oz cluster hops WPL 080 Let me know what you think. Thanks!
