I'm looking at getting a larger bag for the weekend's brew. I know I can order a larger custom one. I probably will at some point. But for the immediate use, has anyone had any experience with this bag? I can get one locally for a little bit cheaper. The description mentions using for...

So I am looking to brew a batch that will push the limits of my setup, to the point where I'm going to dunk sparge the bag in my fermentation bucket and then use that to top off the kettle. My question is this : After mashing for 60 min at 152, should I move to a 10-minute mash out at 170, or...

Hey y'all (did I get that right? I figured "yous guys" would be out of place in TX). So Im in Arlington for work for the next week or so, and Im looking for micro/nano breweries to visit, with 30 min or so of here. Any suggestions? Also any local varieties I should try that I can find at a...

Just got back from a week-long family re-union (wife's side) in Outer Banks, NC. I brought two cases of home brew to share. 1.5 cases was a cascade/willamette IPA, the rest was a SA Summer Ale clone. My brother-in-law normally drinks only Yuengling and Rolling Rock, nothing else. Didn't...

Saw another thread that got me thinking...what do you pay for a growler refill? Around here a 64oz runs about $10-$15. This assumes you've already purchased the growler itself.

Here's what I have available to me : Turkey fryer burner 8 gallon pot 5 gallon cooler (the kind you make drinks in, not the kind you store bottles/food in) BIAB bag This will be my first all-grain BIAB, and I'm wondering what the best use of this equipment would be... Mash in pot and top...

So I've been using Brew Pal on my iPhone to come up with some extract/PM recipes, and using it's nice alarm clock feature on brew days. I'm looking into getting into all-grain BIAB and am trying to figure out how to configure a recipe on Brew Pal for this process. If I put in my batch size...

I am getting set to brew my 4th batch. I want to do an Rye-PA with some spiciness to it. Nothing too heavy. My limitation is that I only have a pot big enough to do a 2.25gal boil (upgrading is not in the cards at this point) and top up to 5 with water. I know this is far less than ideal...

So, this may just be a result of my own ignorance, but what differentiates a burrito from a fajita? Is it the contents? Is it the folding versus rolling approach to securing said contents? Because if it just comes down to how the thing is closed, fajitas are, in my opinion, stupid. If it's...

So I was working on a Sam Adams Summer Ale clone extract recipe that I found. It called for 1 lb 2 row. So I picked up a pound, had my LHBS kindly grind it for me. I started off by steeping that in 2 quarts of water at 150-155 for 45 minutes, stirring gently pretty frequently. On my last 2...

I have an IPA in the primary right now. Fermentation appears to be going well (nice-looking krausen and lots of activity) and starting to wind down. If all goes well, I will be dry-hopping (2oz for 5 days) on Monday (so, 4 days from now), then bottling. That would be a total of about 2-2.5...

So, me being a brewing rookie, I have a question regarding the addition of sugars to the primary during the later stages of fermentation. And no, I am not doing this right now, but I stumbled across the process online and have some questions, just out of pure curiosity. It seems as if the main...

Just finished my second batch last night. I have a higher level of confidence on this one than I did on the first (knocking on wood now). The first one was a True Brew Red Ale. Just for kicks, I cracked open the first bottle yesterday while brewing. It had carb'd up, and tasted OK. Just OK...

So I started my first batch ever yesterday afternoon. It is one of those pre-packaged Red Ale kits from True Brew. Directions said that the starting gravity should be around the 1.05 range. When I measured mine, pre-yeast, it measured just north of 1.030. Accounting for the temperature of...
