Hi all, I have a small GE "dorm room size" fridge that I have been using to keep my keg and CO2 bottle in. I've just been using a picnic tap, but I'm looking at putting a tap on the door. The reason for that is because there is a shelf that rests on the top of the fridge that cannot be...

I'm doing my first pilsner, and I'm worried my fermentation has stalled (or perhaps I'm just being impatient). OG: 1.048 Expected FG: ~1.011 Yeast: WLP815 (with starter) 05/30: Pitched at 48F. 06/11: Gravity reading was at 1.019. I bumped the temp up to 50F as the gravity had been...

I have a question regarding Tart Cherry Concentrate. I am making the following recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=460657 On Tuesday I made my sour mash, and brewed on Saturday. Instead of purchasing a ton of cherries or buying puree, I went with the following...

So, my stepson is turning 21 on the 26th, and he just asked me today if I could brew up a batch of New Belgium's Snapshot for him for his birthday weekend. So yeah, very short notice. I'll be hitting up the LHBS on Monday during lunch and brewing up my best attempt right after I get off work on...

I have been brewing beer for years using extract. I had never done AG before, except at one of my buddy's house because he has a 3 tier system. I had avoiding AG because my wife would kill me if I purchased any additional pots. So, with that said, I finally decided to give BIAB a shot. Note...

I will be doing my 1st BIAB this weekend, after having done extracts for years. I have finished building by BIAB stand and got in my Wilser bag last week. I was taking a look at the Priceless calculator, and I'm having a bit of a problem really understanding it so I figured I'd just ask. :)...

I have been kicking around the idea of writing a new Windows applications, and wanted to get everyone's thoughts on if this is something that would be worthwhile............ I had always been a fan of QBrew - not sure if anyone remembers that. I liked it because it was simple to use, and did...

I have been an extract brewer for years, and I am thinking about trying a BIAB brew. My kettle is only 8.5 gallons, and have been looking at some recipes to try out. Here is one I'm looking at: https://www.boomchugalug.com/downloadables/recipes/velvet_all_grain.pdf Think it'll be possible...

I had gotten a new kettle and went over to a buddy's house to brew. I left my burner at home as he had one. However, we didn't realize his burner wasn't in the best of shapes. The end result was my new kettle getting pretty smutted. This is the bottom after trying to clean it with soap and...

Hi all. I'm new to making wine (but not to brewing beer), so bear with me if I ask something dumb. :) I was recently given a wine kit from a friend that included a SunCal Merlot. Looks like it was this kit here - http://www.eckraus.com/necessities-box-sun-cal-size-merlot.html The date...

I figured I'd introduce myself. I'm a 36 year old programmer from Tupelo, MS. I got into brewing like many others that I know by using Mr Beer, and I'll always be grateful and have a fondness for those little brown kegs. I stuck with Mr Beer for nearly 8 years (I found you could actually make...
