Hello all, Just got a new Bayou Classic LP burner. Assembled it, checked the connections with soapy water per instructions, didn't see any problems. Lit er up - seemed normal, opened the air shutter to blue flames, and kept going - once the air shutter was maybe 3/4 or a bit more open, big...

Hey all, So I'm brewing up a "Killer Bee Braggot" this weekend - basically, shooting for a ~5.5% Brown Ale, will add 6lb of killer bee honey just before flameout. Thoughts on hop additions? Think it was 2 oz of ~9% AA Northern Brewer I picked up. Aim was to make a big beer and age it in...

Hey all, So received a housewarming present from my in-laws - Large Big Green Egg. Looking for some good first time tips - before, mostly worked with a weber charcoal grill and an old smokey electric smoker. I don't have a platesetter yet for indirect - any recommendations on ordering one...

Hey all, Cracked my mash tun cooler, and rebuilding a bulkhead. I have a copper pipe manifold which already fits this cooler, just want to come up with a decent bulkhead which doesn't require soldering or welding. Can anyone give me some guidance for a simple parts list? Ideally, supplied...

Westminster Fire Extinguisher: 150 Airport Drive, Unit 10, Westminster, MD 21157 Filled my 10# tank for $12.95. My wife took it in, they filled in in 10min while she waited. Hydrostatic testing, don't know how much that costs, and isn't while you wait - next day kind of thing, they said...

Hello Marylanders, Just recently accepted a great job at JHUAPL, start Jan 26th! Seems like the homebrew and craft beer scene is pretty good out there. Wondering if I could inquire as to some of the areas to live. I had it in mind to look towards Just E of Rockville, say, to the E of Rock...

Thought you all would like a spent grain bread recipe. My wife found this once I started going all-grain, and always turns out well - doesn't take much grain per loaf. Cut thick, makes GREAT sandwich bread, and is also great with some butter - we both love this bread. 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cup...

Hey All, Wondering if I can get a critique of this recipe for a Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter: Starting point - Who's Your Taddy Porter from Brewing Classic Styles (Brown Porter) Assumptions and calculations based on - no sparge efficiency of 57%, desired preboil gravity 1.055...

Hey all, Wifey's asking for Christmas ideas, and brewing stuff is always good. My last AG batch, 2nd time doing AG, figured I didn't have a good handle on how much volume I drained (no sparge) and questioning my kitchen thermometer I was using to monitor the mash temp. I'll make a measuring...

Hello all, So, recently got into kegging - two ball lock soda kegs off of a dual regulator, 10 lb tank. First two kegs, no pressure drop on the tank gauge. I know - it typically stays high until a rapid drop to red when you're almost out. Anyway, emptied one, cleaned/sanitized/pressurized...

Thought I'd try a 1 gal trial for my first cider to decide if I prefer a dry finish, still, etc, or plan to back sweeten, force carb, etc (I have a kegging setup) 1 gal treetop apple juice (pasturized with asb. acid) Nottingham's dry yeast. NOTHING else...think it was about 1.040 before...

Hello all, This is my first post here. I've been given clearance from the missus on a chest freezer for lagering. I'd like to be able to have two fermenters - either the usual 6 gal plastic buckets or 5 gal glass carboys, with airlocks or blowoff tubes, and any combo - (2 buckets, 2...
