    KBS Clone Recipe in Zymurgy!

    I was just trying to stick with the coffee the recipe calls for. I have a french press and we use Kona coffee so that part was easy. I will probably just grab some other grounds and toss them in the kettle. made the breakfast stout before and the coffee part was a bit too strong, not strong...

    KBS Clone Recipe in Zymurgy!

    I am in Japan and cannot seem to find Sumatra coffee except for a K-cup. How much brewed coffee would you recommend putting into the brew?

    Belgian Blond Ale SWMBO Slayer - Belgian Blonde

    The day brewing beer went to hell and took the expressway should be the name of my batch. This was the first batch of beer I brewed as an all grain around two years ago and it came out fine great considering my lack of technique, experience, and equipment. Many batches later I have refined my...

    American IPA Fresh Squeezed IPA

    I followed the original recipe about a month ago. Temperature came in perfect. OG a slight bit higher and finished nicely at FG. Next weekend we celebrate my birthday with a beer and BBQ party. This is the showcase beer. I have had a few "samples" and it is easily my favorite beer I have brewed...

    Guide to set internal chest freezer thermostat to >32F; Eliminate external control

    I bought the FRF-470-Black from Wal-mart. It supposedly had a refrigerator setting. The first one showed up with a big dent in the side so I had to re-order. The second came in great shape. It does not have the refrigerator setting though. I take the side panel off, popped the tabs for the...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    I'm doing the same thing. I am a bit concerned about getting something from the MLT stuck in the little pump's impeller. Next brew day I'm going to use the pump to pump strike water, sparge water, and finally wort through CFC. End of day I'll use it help with clean up. I'm using camlocks with...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    It is a 3 gallon recipe. I multiplied by 3.33 to make 10 gallons. I only doubled the yeasts and split the sugar between Belgian candi and table sugar. I have not taken the final gravity but it was at 1.010 last time I checked. Thursday I'm bottling it so it might have lost another point or two...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    Best and Cheapest? These are not paralleling options. I don’t think you can get best and cheapest. A sliding scale but I truly believe the little tan pump from Amazon or Ebay is worth the money. I wanted a Chugger but found the tan pump on Amazon and I have a few DC adapters around so $26 and...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    That is exactly what we did. It was certainly a group effort for us even if that is not what I wanted. I pumped the wort back into the kettle and checked the temperature. It was nearly ninety. I then looked at the valve on the garden hose and it was barely on. Opened up the chill water and the...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    I'm going to piggyback on your post if you don't mind because I have no pictures and mine is setup nearly the same as yours.. I bought a pump and silicone tubing like yours from Amazon and SS camlocks and ball valve from bargain fittings. This past weekend I had friends over to brew a...

    Question for Floridians

    I live on the East Coast near Melbourne and our water is not bad. I certainly do not mind drinking from the tap. With that said, I normally drink water from a water cooler because I like the taste of it better. I brew out by my pool and the water runs through the garden hose, through an inline...

    I plan on working on my sprinklers, cutting the top off a keg, brewing an IPA, having a few homebrews, and hanging out by the pool.

    Clone Beer Founder's Breakfast Stout Clone

    Brewed the recipe as published this afternoon. Brew session went great without any issues. Unlike my normal brew sessions that end up with me having consumed quite a few beers during the session. I am having some pool chemistry issues and had to spend an hour after finishing brewing scrubbing...

    Gluing on labels

    Both sides do get a bit wet with the gelatin. So far I have not had any labels bleed even after sitting in ice water. One tip I would say is once you get the labels on the bottle, put the bottles on parchment paper or wax paper or aluminum foil. wipe the bottom before putting them in their...

    Gluing on labels

    I also use Knox gelatin with laser printed plain paper labels. I dip the labels in the gelatin then put them on the bottle. My labels have stuck to the bottles quite well until they get put in hot water and then the labels slide right off.

    Double IPA Pliny the Elder Clone

    Mine turned out great and I am certainly enjoying drinking it. I followed the recipe which came from the doubleipa.pdf. Fantastic beer that I will some day brew again. Only 16 left. I need to find more bottles!

    Founders KBS Haul

    I was lucky and bought one on Wednesday. It is a bit ironic how I was able to purchase my bottle. I decided to brew a stout next and with a decent FBS clone recipe, this was the stout of choice. I went over to the Total Wine in search of an FBS. None on the shelves at all so I went to customer...
