I bought a quantity of these recently. I don't need all of them, but I had to buy them by the box. They are brand new, unused and made of Nylon Plastic and rated for drinking water, so should be good for brewing, also. Wash 'em and Sterilize 'em and your good to go. I have: (8) pieces of the...

Many years ago, I was in Connecticut for training and the trainer took us out to dinner at a local Pub. They happened to have Sam Adams Double Bock on tap and we were encouraged to try a pint, because it was, supposedly, a limited seasonal beer and supposed to be very good. Well, let me tell...

I'm planning on adding some brewed coffee to an ale recipe, later this year. Hopes are to add color, flavor and bitterness - but not too much - to the homebrew. However, I wanted to share some advice from a friend that used to work in the coffee industry. - Only use good water. - Only use...

Any problems with pitching a full packet of US-05 for a 3 Gallon Wort. According to Brewers Friend Recipe Builder, that will be about 2x what is needed. Will it cause a "Yeasty" flavor in the brew? If I pitch only half a packet, can I vacuum seal the remainder in the packet and store it in...

I'm going to be be making a Graff - 2 gallon wort with amber ale LME with Cascade hops added for the last 10-15 minutes of the boil, transfer to the Fermenter and top off with 2.25 gallons apple juice, then pitch a packet of Safale US-05. Should be able to get ~ 4+ gallons out of the batch...

I have some 1"x3" Oak Planks about 24" long. I'm thinking about using one to make a brew paddle. I would shape/carve it, so that it had about a 1" diameter x 12" long handle and a 1" x 2.75" x 12" Long paddle section. I would then sand it and smooth it out well with rounded edges and rounded...

Hello BrewCrew!! I had a brainfart idea this morning, that I thought I would share with y'all. This will work really well with bucket brewing, or Fermonsters, etc. This will also serve as an Airlock Bubbler and Blow-off Tube. Materials needed: A) 2x4's, woodscrews or nails, hammer or...

I've brewed before, many years ago, in plastic buckets - might have been 6.5 gallon buckets for 5 gallons batches. Just got some refurbished Corny Kegs and want to brew a 5 gallon batch, but don't know if I can safely ferment (primary) a 5 gallon wort in a 5 gallon Corny Keg. Please advise...

Keg...

The label on the juice container says the ingredients are "water, apple juice concentrate, ascorbic acid (vitamin C)". I'm going to brew an amber ale with Liquid Malt Extract (LME), Safale US-05 yeast and cascade hops. I want to add the apple juice for a little bit of flavor and sweetness. I...

Hello Good Homebrew Folks, I live down near Tallahassee, FL. Many years ago - I think maybe about 30 years ago - I got into Homebrew and brewed a few good batches of Pale and Amber Ale. I enjoyed it, but life has a way of changing your priorities - children, job change, moving, etc. Anyway...
