Was a success! I washed and pitched some 1056 from an amber ale I kegged into my first SMASH beer. 14 pounds 2-row with Chinook hops. I was a little worried but it seems to have taken off. All I did was boil the water and cool it down the. Dumped it in my fermenter and stirred up the sludge and...

I have 3 kegs and two gas lines ran from my co2 tank. The lines are split with a plastic T. I've noticed when I turn the gas off and bleed it from one keg to bottle from it the gas from the other keg equalizes between the two kegs. If I buy one of those 3 or 4 gas line manifolds will that solve...

What's the best price you have paid for bulk grains in a group buy? I picked up a 50lb bag of 2-row yesterday for $30 an was wondering if a group buy would be cheaper than that or if I should keep buying it this way

Anybody ever rig up an electric push button sparked to fire their burners? I'm considering doing it to mine because I keep losing my damn lighters. I assume I could use a replacement BBQ sparker?

And brewed a batch. I drank of bunch of beer and then switched to sake. Don't remember much. Woke up this morning and my wort was still in the cold water bath in my sink in the garage. Just pitched the wort. Yes it was covered with a lid. Got a little afternoon delight this morning. Maybe I...

Anyone ever do it? The side by side I use now my landlord gave me. He said he didn't trust the freezer in it. He recharged the lines with freon and for the past year it's been working great. But I came home yesterday and the freezer had defrosted and the fridge is warming up. I'm going to ask my...

What does this mean! I've never known. I'm doing a bath tonight that calls for one ounce of cascade for 0 minutes. Anyone?

Where did you guys get the supplies to build yours? I went to Home Depot and the only PVC reducers they had were the black sewer pipe ones and thy said the white ones aren't food safe and referred me to food services of America. I was just wondering if maybe you guys knew of some secret place...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WC3540/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Anybody have this? I know brinkman is kind of garbage. My BBQ is a brinkman 6 burner and it was kind of shoddy. I saw one lists for sale on a local Facebook buy sell trade page for $75 firm that was 3 years old so I did...

I saw a post about using dry ice to make applejack and that got me wondering if anyone has ever used dry ice to fast carb a kegged beer? Looking back at my youth I made ALOT of dry ice bombs. It's relatively cheap around here and you can make your own very easily. Of course their is always the...

If you do YOU'RE IN LUCK! I was cruising CL for Homebrew items as I always do and discovered flood valley Homebrew is going out of business. Sucks for them but rocks for close homebrewers! They are selling stuff at cost! If I were closer I would be there in a heartbeat...

So last August I got a $50 gift card to Home Depot for my brith day. I bought a 20 gallon cooler to make a mash tun. The hardware I had on hand at the time wouldn't fit in the 20 gallon cooler. So I took it back and got the 10 gallon cooler and put the ball valve in and got it all set up. Now...

I've ruined a few batches dry hopping. One turned milky brown and another had a horrible taste. Having just dry hopped an IPA and an Amber I was wondering how people sanitize the hops? I've boiled them and the bag in water and cooled it then dumped it all in. Something about dumping green hop...
