Hey all, I am going to be taking a step back from the hobby for a little bit. Have some other affairs that need taken care of and I just don't spend the time like I used to. It's not good bye forever though, it's see ya down the road. Anyway I am selling off the below equipment. I would...

Ran out of Propane 5 minutes into the boil. Already added my 60 minute addition (1 ounce cascade) and got back going within 20 minutes. Should I just start the timer where I left off?

So, I have an 001 yeast cake ready to be pitched on, and I've decided to brew a SMaSH Cascade Pale Ale. However, I'm new to all grain and new to putting recipes together. The goal of this brew is to be around 4.5 to 6% ABV and to get a ton of cascade aroma and flavor. Malt: 12 lbs of 2...

Hey all, Just wondering if there is a preferred online retailer for keg parts? For example, I need an o-ring set, ball lock poppet valve, gas side dip tube and keg lube. I've checked out Northern Brewer and Keg Outlet and they have everything I need, but the shipping is kind of pricy...

Hi all, So, dipping my toe back into the all grain game tomorrow. Already have my yeast starter going. So, I'm brewing with 11 pounds of grain. 5.5 lbs Pilsner Malt 5.5 lbs of German Wheat malt I'm shooting for a target end volume of 5.5 which I assume I'll lose .5 to...

Hi all, So I have this old regulator, that I think works okay, but the gas valve just spins around and doesn't actually turn on or off. I can just replace this portion right? Take it to my local homebrew store and find the part? Order online? Thoughts?

Hi all, So I moved about a year ago and never once thought to use my own tap water for brewing. It's not that I didn't like how it tasted or anything, I just always went to the local spring and paid my $1.75 for about 7 gallons of water. However, today while some work downtime I went and...

Hi all, So, I built this mash tun last summer, and did only 1 all grain batch with it (Centennial blonde) and if memory serves me correctly the brew day did not go very well. Looking back, I believe it was due to it being my first all grain batch, and my first time brewing this style of...

Hi all, So I plan on doing a fairly easy brew this weekend. 15 minute all cascade pale ale. 6 pounds of Light DME 2 ounces of cascade at 15 minutes 1 ounce of cascade at flame out. Ferment with US 05. I did a quick inventory of my freezer this morning and I found 2.4 ounces whole...

Hi all, So, I'm planning to try and make some wine. I have a ton of fresh grapes, right off the vine...however not nearly enough to make my preferred 5 gallon batch. So, here's my thoughts... I'm going to head home tonight, mash the grapes, strain just the juice, throw in some campden...

Hi all. First I purchased a used Danby DKC445BL yesterday from CL. However while it came complete with the tower...it did not come with any of the dispensing equipment and the manual's I've found online aren't the greatest in the world...so I'm mocking up an order on KegWorks and just want...

Hey all, So, I brewed a batch on Jan 21st. During that time I moved out of my apartment and into a new house. Sadly, i still have to pay rent on the apartment for 3 months, so some of my stuff is still sitting there. Yesterday I finally picked up the beer making equipment. Which...

Morning all, So I plan on brewing an irish stout tonight after work and I prepared my starter last night. 2L flask, 1500ml starter. Put it on the stir plate around 7 last night and left it go. Checked it this morning, and sometime during the night it must of blew through my foam...

Just ordered NB's Dry Irish Stout kit in hopes that it will be ready for St Pats (cutting it close I know) And, I'm interested in adding perhaps some oats to make it a bit more creamy and to help with head retention. However, I'm not entirely sure how much, how and when to add the oats...

Like a fool I accidently purchased LME instead of DME (New Briess containers...swore it was DME...won't happen again) Now, I have a ton of LME that I don't really need...what's the best way to store it?

Hi ya'll. So, here's a quick run down of everything I did, and everything I want to do. First, I got 5 gallons of unpasturized orchard fresh cider. Put some camden tablets in there, let it sit for a week to make sure everything was killed. Then, I put in 1lb of light brown sugar, and...
