I have 5 gallons of saison cold crashing right now and I am going to bottle it tomorrow. It's the first time I have made a saison and I don't have that much experience with the style so I did a little research and it seems like there are conflicting opinions on how much corn sugar to add. I...

It's the middle of the night and I wake up to footsteps running down the hall toward my bedroom. My 3 year old opens the door and crawls in the bed. I'm barely awake and ask, "What's the matter? What happened?" He pulls the blanket over himself and says, "I want a lot of hops!" Then he rolls...

This is so easy that it's not even a project, but it was an essential part of my kegerator so hopefully someone else will like the idea. My kegerator is in the basement and the basement used to be pretty much unfinished so a big plastic tray on the ground was fine as a drip tray. Now the...

I kegged a couple fresh hop batches and look what I found in my airlocks. I'm just glad that there was liquid in the airlocks the whole time so they couldn't get in the actual carboy. Funny thing is they loved the SD super yeast but there were only two in the US 05 behind.

I'm doing a huge remodel on the house and for a few months the kegerator was in storage pods. A couple weeks ago we get the pods back, but the basement isn't quite ready so I tell the movers to just put the kegerator in the backyard so I can run an extension cord from the house. They put it down...

I know the answer is out there somewhere, but I seem to be missing it. Maybe it is the lack of sleep related to my 10-day old son. :drunk: I'm looking to set up an easy fermentation chamber, and step up from a swamp cooler. Can I just get a chest freezer or fridge with a temperature...

I was looking for some corn sugar for my bottling session when I came across a bag of ingredients I didn't even know I had. My friend gave me his brewing supplies a couple years ago and this was at the very bottom. In the bag was Irish moss, gypsum, citric acid, and a small unmarked bag of...

There's a new tiny beer and wine store near my house so I thought I'd go check it out to see what they had. The guy working there was eager to help me out with the selection, but I could tell he didn't really know anything about what he was selling. He pointed to random beers and said how it...

I'm sure some of you out there have seen this before, but here's a great page of random pictures and videos that fall under the 'fail' category. Lots of funny things to pass the time. That's a pretty talented goat piggybacking on the guy riding his bike. Failblog

After searching around for a while I can't find the answer so please post the link if the thread exists. I have an IPA (#1) in the primary carboy right now and it's pretty much done. I'm going to brew another IPA (#2) in a few days that I was going to pitch on the cake once the first is...

Sorry if this has been asked somewhere else, but my searches didn't find the answer. My friend gave up homebrewing and was nice enough to give me all his equipment. It had been sitting in the garage for maybe 3-4 years and in the freezer were some hops still sealed in the foil vacuum packed...

Hey everyone, just wanted to quit lurking and actually introduce myself. I'm in Portland, but originally from the Bay Area, and have been brewing since last summer. I have an IPA on tap in the kegerator with a mix of Willamette hops from the backyard and Chinook from the community garden in...
