    Brew Boss SS basket COFI setup

    Looking at picking up a SS basket, and stumbled across Brew Boss and their COFI setup. Anyone running something like this that isn't part of a full built system? After my fiasco this weekend and my bag ripping I'm contemplating going with this setup or something along those lines. To be fair...

    Conical Fermenter

    Looking to upgrade my setup after 3 batches. Just have the typical starter kit. I am looking at conical fermenting setups. The best option I see financially is the Fast Ferment 7.9 setup, but the reviews vary. Should I just save up and get something stainless. Advice appreciated.

    Need an easy drinking beer

    So I'm a dark beer guy myself, but my Euro friends just don't dig the the darker heavier stuff or IPAs. I can only order stuff from a few places like boomchugalug.com or homebrewing.org because of my APO using USPS. Any suggestions for a good easy drinking beer? Gotta keep the customer base happy!

    1st brew time to bottle, priming questions

It's a simple brown ale that came with my...

    No foaming in fermentation

    So I started my primary Sat afternoon. I did a recheck of my gravity on Mon or Tues I believe and had a nice foam head in bucket, temp was high 70s so I put in some water with a wet towel. I noticed this morning nothing was coming from the air lock. I checked temp and it was 68-72 on the strip...

    Sugar and bottling

    So reading up on sugars and bottling I noticed part of the calculation had temp. How key is that? Won't the temp fluctuate as you transfer to bottling bucket then into bottles? I am doing a standard brown ale @ 5gl. I read that Brown sugar can add some flavoring, advice? Thanks

    1st batch and some questions

    So been here less than a day and already so many questions. So did my first brew over the weekend and learned as I was going. A Brown Ale with an AIH kit. So a few questions, 1) OG was supposed to be 1.05 and if I read the hydrometer right I was as 1.11. Bad? 2) So reading through here it...
