So I have been stationed overseas for the last 6 1/2 years and haven’t brewed a single batch of beer. I am heading back to the states in a week and am wanting to get back into it. Was an all grain brewer before leaving and will be going that route again. I will most likely be going electric as...

I have seen a lot of threads on brew pi's. Read through a couple but not all the pages but am just curious about a few things. Is there anywhere that someone can purchase a completly ready to go brew pi. I am looking to have one for a tap chart as well as having one for a fermentation chamber...

So yesterday I made 5 gallons of Bavarian Hefeweizen. Pitched wlp300 at about 73 degrees last night at about 8 o'clock. This is what it looks like today. This was taken about 15 mins ago. Kind of hard to see it there is a dark brown spot on top of the wort. What is that and should I be concerned.

I just kicked a keg of Bavarian Hefeweizen that I throughly enjoyed and want to make it again but this time I want to get more banana flavor out of the yeast. I fermented at a very steady 70 degrees for 14 days then kegged. Should I drop the fermentation temp a couple of degrees or raise it to...

So I ordered this http://www.midwestsupplies.com/fermenters-favorites-insulated-mash-lauter-tun.html last week and it came in yesterday. Put it together tonight and the false bottoms looks like a lot of the grains will get underneath it. The directions to put it together are very vague. Here's...
