I have many, many ounces of frozen, vacuum sealed hops. I opened a small package and they still smell like hops, no off odors. Anybody have any experience brewing with anything close to this? I had kids and took some serious time off but now thinking about getting back in. I never threw these...

I've been out of the homebrew game for a while, sidetracked with life. I've been using my 5CU GE for years just as a beer fridge but now need to store it or sell (NOOOO) it. The only place I have to store it is an elevated crawl space that will only allow for me to put it on it's back. I've done...

I've been gone a long while so maybe this has been addressed. I can't find it. Every time I go to pour from my keezer the first beer is pretty foamy. I've found my beer line actually has air pockets in it. I'm currently tapping commercial sanke kegs with about 10' of line to compensate for the...

I've been mia for a while but am about to cut the top off a keg I got. I was going to get a cut off wheel (3") from harbor freight but then I saw the angle grinder (4"+) that looks more heavy duty. I assume the bigger the better but anyone have any input...

I'm sure many of you saw this in the last BYO but I thought it'd be worth pointing out here. I was about to do this on my own and when I saw this it made me happy I didn't have to! If this link ever dies I have the PDF. http://www.homebrewing.com/articles/home-brewing-calendar.php

Anyone seen one of these? I put 4G in it and it almost come to the top. Would probably on 2ndary with it or maybe ferment 3G... but I'm thinking it's metric for some reason.

I'm brewing tomorrow (hopefully) and I'm preparing my water and it's rusty. We've had some serious rain here lately and I'm thinking that's the reason. Anyone ever brewed with rusty water? It doesn't taste bad it just looks bad. Here's a shot looking in to a full 5 gallons...

Here's my 2nd year cascades. How long to I let them go before I cut back to 2 bines? http://www.flickr.com/photos/henrylumbard/5607253374/ Also, is there a way to embed flickr that's not violating their TOS?

I got this from the local water treatment manager after some fishing around... Using the calculators listed in the stickies (http://nomograph.babbrewers.com/) it looks as though my water is best suited for lighter colored beers. Am I correct? I realize that I'm inputting CaCO3 instead of...

I'm not selling this so I thought this would be appropriate since it does need a slight bit of DIY.... It's a little ghetto and I stole the 12V power supply for my new fridge chamber but it worked like a dream for a year or so. I can't bear to throw it out so I thought I'd offer it up here...

So I just started taking apart my old fridge with the intention of removing the ceiling of the fridge / floor of the freezer and found the coils. Does this mean I should just leave it a lone and only use the fridge portion? My ebay aquarium controller is in the mail!

(How do I embedd youtube again?) Anyway, this is a double chocolate stout I brewed Sat. Just got this 6.5G carboy, thought I'd have space but it looks close as of today!

I had a buddy pick up 6 gallons of cider when he was up state only to find they had potassium sorbate in the ingredient list. I left them in the basement and forgot about them for a week or two. I just went down there to look at them and 3 of them are about to burst! Should I dump them all...

I dried these out (Harvested too early though :mad: ) My question is, how do you know if they're too dry or not dry enough? It's a 1 QT ziplock bag.

So I've got cascades that feel papery on top but at the bottom they're still a little firm. Should I just leave them up? Is there any harm in leaving them too long? It's my first time growing and I'd hate to ruin all this patience. I read somewhere that when they just start to turn brown is...

I've had the same problem every batch of AG I've made. Here's my set-up and process, maybe I'm missing something. 30qt Turkey fryer. Fill almost to the top pre boil Add irish moss @ 15min. Immersion chiller Whirlpool with a spoon and let sit for 20 min. When I go to rack to fermenter...

4 lbs of hops broken into quarters and 3 new perlick faucets.

I have 10' of 3/16" hose and my regulator's set to 13psi. I thought I read somewhere that 3/16 loses about 3 psi per foot. How is it that my beer still comes out at about a pint in 7 seconds or so. Still seems pretty fast.

Anyone have any experience with this? It seems very well built. Has a knob on one end to adjust the gap though I think for my purposes I'd just be using the tightest setting. This picture is another piece that came with the set. I don't think it would work though. I'll probably...
