ah i hate when that happens. Once or twice I boiled some water and added to the bucket when I was low on volume as long as my gravity was high enough.

Got a late start but just mashed in on my habanero chocolate porter. Going to be a fun evening! Anyone else getting a brew day in?

Hey all, I won this new item a few weeks back, but I don't do electric brewing so can't use it. I found it on the vendor website and looking to sell it cheap to someone that can properly appreciate the product. I myself have no use for it. Check it out and let me know if you might find it...

Pretty cool, I like that it's all flush with the wood from top to bottom.

Ah good to hear. I've been scoping out that same one, the Idylis 7.1 and thinking of getting it online today. How's it working for you so far?

This table keezer thing is.... just freaking awesome. Like knights of the round table awesome.

I have now made these three times and feel like we have it down pretty solid. Our maltipoo puppy loves them, and the dogs in the building wolf them down like nobody's business. Healthy, simple, and puts some of the grain to use instead of throwing it out. Here is my blog post about it with...

Starring our wonderful maltipoo puppy Hudson, our mascot for all our homebrew...

third test print, first on the homemade brown paper bag paper.

All of our homebrew is branded with our maltipoo puppy's wonderful head shot. His name is Hudson!

Cool, that's exactly what I hope to accomplish. Having the mouthfeel in the direction of oatmeal stout, the smoother bitterness from FWH, and going for a subisomeric hop stand as you call it. I want those to not contribute to the bitterness so will shoot for 170-175. It's a first attempt, if...

Hi all, I'm planning to make an oatmeal IPA, and also test out FWH first wort hops instead of any boiling additions. Also I'm planning to skip any aroma additions like 15/5 minute ones, and instead try an hour hop stand/whirlpool at about 175F. It's an experiment for me, not sure how it...

Made an attempt towards Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin, so first time trying mash-hopping and fwh / first wort hopping. Nothing grapefruit yet, but will add the peeled rinds when i dry hop in 1.5-2 weeks from now. Was fun! https://bodobeers.wordpress.com/homebrew-recipes/6-grapefruit-ipa/

This was a nice read, got me laughing at my desk :-) The rubber hose thing and the "batch 1 sucked" were too funny. I'm just about at first year in myself, only got chance to make 5 batches so far though. About to start again now that kitchen is cool enough to ferment in (brewing 5 gallon...

So, just tried my chinook hopped rye ipa, after 5 weeks fermentation and dry hopping time (got busy at work, longer than i had planned to let it sit overall), and 3 weeks bottle conditioning. i think it came out pretty good! my recipe for this beer is on the blog at...

Hi all, Initially I planned on just adding vanilla beans to this stout while it continues to sit in my fermentation bucket, but wondering about what other interesting ingredients anyone might suggest. My previous porter was "bourbon barrel porter" with makers mark and wood chips, so wanted to...

Hi there, Looking for feedback from fellow apartment homebrewers about fermentation chambers. Got a good idea, want to see if it's a fit. Got a sec? Put a three question survey on the wordpress site, goal to find out what priorities people have in seeking fermentation chamber temp control -...

Glad i found this thread, am trying to put together my first imperial stout (hell my first stout at all aside from the bourbon barrel porter from NorthernBrewer that i did recently).. and wondering how many pounds i should use total for a 5 gallon BIAB recipe where i would start with 7 to 7.5...

Yah i stumbled on this week before i plan to make my next batch of beer, which I was thinking would be my first imperial stout / RIS. Screw that, I'm going to try to make a Narwhal clone instead! Probably won't get the full gravity of the real beer but want to give it my best shot. Doing a 5...
