Ok, I'm not crazy. Thank you.

Walker, can you check the IPA recipe for me. I don't have software on hand. 8.25lb of LME should yeald an OG of 1.056 assuming 36ppg of Briess LME and assuming only a small increase from the 1/2 lb. buscuit and 1/2 lb. Crystal 55. (8.25 x 36=297/5.3 gal=56.04 or 1.056) However, if I were...

I was recently looking into the Big Brew Day recipes provided by the AHA at http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/pages/events/national-homebrew-day/recipes. When I tried to adjust the DME vs. LME proportions to account for packaging (rounding off so I wouldn't have to measure out small...

FlyGuy, You wouldn't happen to have these instructions lying around in PDF form would you. I work at a home brew store and would love to print this out and post it for costomers. If not, no worries. I'll just copy and paste.

I am getting ready to switch from bottling to kegging. I would like to continue to brew in 6 gallon batches as I usually do to ensure that I don't come up short when it comes time to fill the keg, but I would still like to be able to use the extra that is left over. I was wandering if it would...

Also, I can't seem to find a rectangular cooler that isn't too big, but also has a spigot.

I'b getting ready to build my MLT and am having trouble deciding what type of cooler to buy. 1. On an episode of the Sunday Session on the Brewing network, a brewer suggested using a rectangular cooler to provide a wider shallower grain bed. He said that this would reduce mash time and...

Was the mint fresh or dried?

I just got back from a trip to Ireland were I had a few pints of Bulmers cider, also known as Magners in other parts of the world. I was wondering if anyone has come across a clone recipe for Bulmers or if anyone has any ideas about what yeast might be best to use.

I just got back from a trip to Ireland where the social structure is basically based around the local pubs. Of all the places I visited, my favorite by far was Dirty Nelly's in Bunratty, near Limerick. Great beer, great music, unbeatable atmosphere, and wonderful, friendly people. If you ever...

I recently brewed (if you can really call it that) a couple of batches of Apfelwein. In the first, I used Red Star Montrachet yeast as was recommended in EdWort's recipe on the cider page. This batch settled and cleared very quickly after fermentation had ended. In the second batch, I used...

Insulating the in the tun is something I haven't thought of. I was going to try insulating the top from the outside, but this sounds like a much more efficient way of doing it. Any suggestions on what best to use for insulation? And yes, I was looking into getting a fermwrap. And the general...

What equipment recommendations do you guys have for someone on a modest budget looking to increase temperature control both in fermentation and during mashing? As far as mashing goes, I am currently using a 10 gallon cooler with slotted copper tubing. I can't ever seem to hold a steady...

Has anyone tried combining two different recipes of different styles of beer into one batch. I was thinking of how whiskey is often blended to give it unique flavors and qualities, but I haven't heard of this ever being done with beer. I'm sure most of us enjoy the occasional black and tan...
