So tired of dealing with hose clamps on brew day. Are there quick release for hooking up the pump and counter flow chiller? Thanks

Went to pour myself a pint last night and it was warm. The power is still going on the unit put no cold...... Any ideas?

So my wife informed me she wants to host a party for St. Patty's day and told me I will need to provide the beer. I need a good all grain recipe for a St. Patty's beer that will be done in time if I brew this weekend. Thanks

Question: I am doing my first 10 gallon batch. I have a 16 gallon kettle, Beersmith says my total mash with grains will 15.92. That is too close to the top for my comfort level. Thinking of doing a dunk sparge, and I have never done one. Volume of water for the mash is supposed to be 14.12...

Ok, I knew this was going to happen. So I was brewing my first big RIS this weekend and my bag got caught on my kettle thermometer and ripped as I was trying to pull it out. This was the third time using this new pot. I really like having the thermometer on the pot, but the bag gets caught...

This is only my fourth starter I have done. The other three were all Wyeast starters and this is my first White Labs. The yeast is WLP002 English Ale. Normally my starter just looks like coffee with a lot of creamer in it. This batch looks like it has lumps of cottage cheese swirling around...

I got my new 15 gallon Bayou Classic Kettle with thermometer and Ball Valve and the instructions of installing the ball valve where ****e.... I've done one brew with it and it went fine. Last night, I had filled my kettle with water and did a test boil on my brand new induction cook top...

I've just brewed my first IPA and have moved into the dry hopping part of the process. I was just thinking about it this morning and was wondering "does dry hopping actually do anything?" I know, don't shoot me. But seriously, there is no circulation within the fermentation "tank", no...

I was just getting ready to start buying a faucet a month and was trying to decided between the Perlick and CMB's and now the Intertaps are back. Which one? Help!!!!!

Thinking of buying the PC version tonight. Anyone?

So I use a hop spider and hop sack and I have been removing my bag at the end of the boil. I have been looking at an IPA recipe that has hop additions at whirlpool 180 degrees. So I assume that means, add the hops when your wort reaches 180 degrees during the cool down. So for me, that begs...

Thanks in advance.

Just looking for a quesstimate. I got a Bayou burner, and I am just wondering how often you need to refill your standard propane tank? The burner I got was this one. Bayou Classic SP10 High-Pressure Outdoor Gas Cooker, Propane...

Ok, after hanging out here on HBT, you guys spoiled my extract brewing right from the get go. I have brewed 3 extract kits and thought they were all great until I read about the "TWANG" on here. During the last brew I tasted a bit of the LME and now that is all I taste when drinking my beer...

Sorry for the noob post, but I am planing on doing this as my first BIAB this weekend. So below is Denny's recipe. How do I set this up as a BIAB. I am confused about a few of the steps. Mainly the Mash Schedule and water amounts. Thanks for your help. #264 Bourbon Vanilla Imperial...

Ok, I have done the research and I am going to move to BIAB from extract. So what size kettle do I need 10 gallon or 15? I have my keezer set up with my 5 gallon corney kegs, so that is my end product, 5 gallon batches. I am sure I am going to want to brew some higher ABV brews with larger...

So I was working on a DIY CO2 distributor valve setup with a bunch of brass fittings I picked up. When I was done, my hands stunk like brass. Will the brass flavor seep into my CO2 and my beer? Thanks
