Over the past month I have brewed about 70 gallons of beer *whew* and now need some help drinking it :) An eye for an eye, of course. I would love to try some different home brews, so send me a PM with what you want and what you have got and we can go from there. Ready to ship now: Goose...

Hello folks, We have all thought about going pro, and well I have an opportunity that would be fun to exploit. A good friend of the family is looking for a new place to produce their commercial beer, current volume is in excess of 1000 bbl per quarter. Of course, I would have a few lines of...

Does anyone have a AG (or any) recipe for a Gerst beer clone? Been looking around and can not come up with anything. Thanks in advance.

Wow, Was going to look at some notes from my last brew session from Saturday, and the recipe and all of my work with the notes was totally gone... Tried looking for the backups, it took one that morning but none since. I have no idea what could have caused this, the laptop was plugged in...

Whats your favorite, super hoppy (but balanced) beer you have made? :) My LHBS just got in like 100 lbs of hops and is blowing them out.

Just curious if carbing the beer will through off the reading on a refractometer.

Hey guys, Was brewing a few batches this weekend, and couldn't locate my manual and it had been awhile, so I used a few batch sparging methods to lauter. Can you evaulate what I did and help me refine to get the best efficiency? Batch #1- 10 gal, Edwarts Haus Ale 16lb 2 Row Rorh 4lb...

For starters and growing yeast to harvest, what will make more yeast? A large volume of low gravity wort or a smaller volume of high gravity wort? Would you get more yeast cells from a 2000ml at .03 or at .04? I know yeast would consume the .03 faster, but would be more food at .04. This is...

Ok, so yesterday was my first time soloing an AG brew, and was also the first time I have used my Sabco Brew Magic system, so it was a lot of firsts, but I have brewed with others and read John Palmer's book, so I was up to the task. I am working on the Austin Brewers Honkers Ale clone, which...

Hey guys, About to start a yeast bank, do you recommend collecting yeast (Using liquid wyeast smack packs and some vials of the other brand) before or after fermentation? I have some large starters going, and just wondering if I should pitch and ferment a batch with them first, or harvest...

Searching for some vials for the yeast bank and came across these: Continuous Thread Glass Vials w/ Caps Other than probably not autoclaveable, any downsides? Was thinking the 2 gram size.

Totally overkill, but its not THAT expensive, might add to the next years Christmas list lol http://cynmar.com/item_detail.aspx?ItemCode=MHA36254

Hey guys, Going to be breaking in my Sabco this week with a honkers ale clone, and am curious what rests should I take during the mash? Just wanted your opinions, so hit me with your best shot! Grain bill: 9 lbs 2-row 1/2 lb Caramunich 1/2 lb Crystal 40L Hops: 1 oz Northern Brewer 60...

Been thinking about buying some of these for awhile : Inductor Cone Bottom Bulk Storage Tanks - US Plastic Corporation Would a weldless fitting work to put on the conical itself so you could draw wort/wine whatever without disturbing the sediment? If not, any other ideas on how to make it...

Is there a conversion table for a refractometer to read FG or is that something it just cant do? :)

Alright, so I am perplexed, I boiled 4l of wart (Used Amber DME, got SG to about 10 brix or so, added nutrient, and used an ice bath to cool to 70 degrees. Divided into 4 sterile beakers, 2 1l and 1 2l, and added 3 wyeast smack packs. The two smack packs that had been allowed to rise to full...

I know, this isnt exactly original (I got the idea from BierMunchers Trash-a-rator), but I am just so happy with it I had to post it! Front of the can http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/Jamesrm/beercanfront2.jpg Inside of the can...

So, I wanted to clean out some of my extract kits (got 2 kit of the month kit subscriptions for Christmas last year) and I opened two that had wyeast smack packs, both american ale and both had ballooned to full size... So, I made a starter (100 g DME and to 1000ml water) added both yeast...

Hey guys, Just mixed together my first batch of Apfelwien, I got juice (from sams) from concentrate and vitamin C only. They were 3l bottles in a 2 pack, so I used 21 l of Apple Juice, 2lb dextrose, and a monchete packet. By my refractometer (First time I used it, I calibrated it to 0 with...

So, I would really like some conical fermentors, are they worth the 400-500 a pop for the stainless steel versions? Are there better options, or is that just one of those things that is going to cost a lot to use.
