    My counterflow chiller is clogged

    I am able to pass liquid through it with a garden hose on full blast but even then it barely comes through. Last night when I was brewing I couldn't get any wort through - which really sucked! I have tried immersing the entire thing in boiling water thinking it would loosen whatever is in there...

    Help me identify my mystery hops!

    I purchased 5 rhizomes off the internet this year and besides for them being VERY slow growers that started with very few tentacles or whatever you call those off-shoots, they seem to be different varieties as the leaves are in different shapes. I took a few photos in hopes someone might be able...

    4 different labels

    I just recently got married and made 4 different beers for the wedding. Just thought I'd share the labels I created for the beers - The Orange Kolsch features the bride and the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Porter one of the groomsmen.

Gravity only went down to 1.016 which gives me something like 3.25% abv. This isn't a high alcohol brew but I was...

    Question on 2 row malt types

    I wanted to start buying my base malts in bulk but don't want to purchase 4 different 50lb bags of different 2 row malts for different recipes. My question is, does it make a significant difference to the final beer? For example, if I use a rahr 2 row in a recipe that calls for a breiss or vice...

    Help with mash and sparge water volume

    Sorry for the rookie questions but I have done several all grain batches and I thought I would have figured this out by now but I still keep screwing it up.. I have used the mash and sparge calculator on brew365.com and it always seems like too much water to me. Tomorrow I am brewing a 5 gallon...

    First all grain batch fiasco

    Hey everybody, I'm new to all grain brewing and my first batch was not a good start. First off I mistakenly put in 5.5 gallons for my sparge which I quickly found out was wayyy high. I dumped a gallon and boiled for an extra 30 min which got me to 5 gallons and 1.046 OG, not too far off from my...
