I've got a spare STC1000 around and have built my keezer and it's been doing great for the past year or two. I'm starting to brew more and living in the south, in the summer I need to have a better/more reliable method of keeping my ferm temps consistent. In the winter I can add heat (small...

will be in Ft. Worth for a few days for an event (flying in tomorrow if the weather co-operates). and thought I'd ask here and see if anyone has any recommendations for good food/brew pubs downtown fort worth area? I won't have a car but don't mind walking and it looks like there's a trolley of...

since I got some great feedback on my imperial red, I thought I'd throw this one out there as well and see if there's any feedback on this recipe I was going to brew sunday: Looking for something similar to DogFish Head Indian Brown Ale. I bought a kit from a shop for the last time I brewed...

realized I should have posted this here as it makes more sense... anyway here's my questions: I brewed a recipe below a few months ago for an imperial red ale. The taste was fantastic but I was disappointed with the color of the beer. I was hoping for a much deeper " ruby red" color. When I...

I brewed a recipe below a few months ago for an imperial red ale. The taste was fantastic but I was disappointed with the color of the beer. I was hoping for a much deeper " ruby red" color. When I picked up the ingredients, the shop substituted one ingredient and said it shouldn't affect the...

brewed my version of Bell's two hearted (extract) a few weeks ago. Fermented well, left in primary for about 3 week. started at 1.064 or so (I don't have my notes with me) and down to about 1.018 or so and transferred into glass secondary (6 gallon carboy). Added 1oz of hops in a nylon bag. In...

so I've brewed a few batches and getting comfortable with my brewing and starting to experiment a bit more with my ingredients. I've got most of the equipment I feel I need (immersion cooler, stir plate, carboys, kegs, etc) but have a question... if I have the size kettle to do a full boil...

just picked up a package of gnome cream soda yesterday and will mix up a batch this weekend. So here's my question- it looks like there's enough to do a full 5 gallon batch with the mix they provide (well, supposed to, seems on some reviews it's a bit light for the quantity), but if I do...

I"m going to be in town for a couple of days working, but thought I'd check to see if there are any good brew shops or pubs that I should visit while there? staying north of town but will be downtown for work... always nice to check out local brew shops and see if they have anything I just...

anyone know if any local shops have any ball lock corny kegs available (the pepsi ones, not the $150 new ones)? been scouring craigslist with no luck and would like 2 more kegs now that I'm kegging my beers... or if anyone has any they want to sell, let me know.. :)

not sure if you have seen the post in the for sale section but I checked the local home depot off windward and they have a few different sizes of copper tubing on closeout. I bought 60' of 3/8" copper tubing. price on tag was regularly $115 or something, I got it for $28. they had a few...

going to brew up a batch of beer tonight or tomorrow night. I mixed up a starter (1/2 cup DME, 1l or so of water and yeast nutrient) and put it on the stir plate last night. The White Labs yeast vial seemed like the yeast was a lot more "clumpy" than other yeasts I've used from them. After...

I know that most are not using the small ceramic heaters for their fermentation chambers but if you are looking for one or want one on the cheap, I just found a stack on the closeout isle at my local walmart. I didn't find it online but at least my store in ATL had about 5 of them marked...

I had posted this in the kegging forum but seems that the DIY thread was the right place to put it... I read thru a bunch of the threads on keezer controlers using the STC-1000 controller from amazon. Since I'm just getting into kegging my beers, this was the next logical step. So I...

I read thru a bunch of the threads on keezer controlers using the STC-1000 controller from amazon. Since I'm just getting into kegging my beers, this was the next logical step. So I bought a 7.2 kenmore freezer from Kmart after scouring the local craigslists to no avail... Then I read...

On my way to making a keezer for my new to me kegs.. bought a Kenmore 7.2 cubic foot freezer friday, unpacked it, etc etc. put one keg in it just to see distance to lid, and turned it on for a bit to cool off the inside. obviously I forgot about it for a couple of hours and came back and...

so Monday I put my new christmas present to use and brewed up my first batch of Brewers Best American Pale Ale. Just followed the directions and seemed to go fine. It did take it a few days to start to see bubbles in the airlock (just started today actually, I waited for a while so I didn't do...

been many years since I've brewed my own beer but with a christmas gift of a brew setup, it looks like i'm in business again. I bought Palmers book and have been reading it here and there. Good stuff. This weekend will be my first batch in many moon (I did some with friends in New Zealand in...
