I was looking to brew a hefeweizen but I'm Florida and my house is about 80 degrees during the day and 74 degrees at night. I was thinking about something this this True Brew BAVARIAN HEFEWEIZEN EXTRACT KIT . It comes with Fermentis SafBrew WB-06 which states the ideal temp is between 64-75°...

I just got a new beer tower and it came with 5' 3/16" lines. With my set up I've got long lines to deal with the higher pressure I like with my kombucha and hard seltzers. I want to find a way to connect the fittings that come with the tap to my longer beer lines once they are already inside...

I have two batches of cider going. One is from fresh cider and the other is a mixture of fresh cider and grocery store apple juice and corn sugar. I would like some help on how long to let ferment and how to batch prime each for carbonation. batch #1 :Made from: 5 gal fresh apple cider (...

I'm trying to make my first 5 gal batch of cider and need a little help. I've read through a bunch of the threads but i'm still a little cloudy. I called a couple local orchards around Columbus, Ohio and they all seemed to have outsourced their juice pressing. As I'm looking for 100% fresh...

I'm prepping for a Monday brew of Bells Two Hearted IPA found here on the forum(recipe below). I'm not sure I will have enough time to make a starter at this point(saturday at the earliest), but i have a second vile of the same yeast that has been in my fridge sealed with a "best used by" date...

I brewed an all grain batch of brown ale last November. I got lazy with the cold weather and never bottled or moved to secondary. I haven't opened the fermenter since November. do you think this batch is salvageable, or too much tome on the trub? thanks, Aaaron

I'm starting to put together for next week an all grain paulaner hefeweizen type recipe. my basement, which is the coolest room only get's to about 70F in the summer. I have a feeling that it's gonna be a hot september this year since our summer so far has been mild. So i need a yeasty that...

I was wondering if any of my fellow buckeye brewers here, have had their water tested? I wanted to fill in the water analysis section on my beeralchemy software. http://utilities.columbus.gov/Water/PDFs/CCR2008.pdf I downloaded the columbus water report and other than the PH, didn't list...

during my first all grain batch I mashed a few degrees to hot and I'm left with a gravity of 1.030 after 3 weeks in primary. After two weeks I added a package of dry ale yeast to see if it would get any lower, but it has remained steady at 1.030. I'm getting ready to bottle and needed advice on...

I bought a hurricane burner and NG conversion valve from Northern Brewer. Even after adjusting the air damper ( or whatever that sliding piece is located where the valve connects on the burner) the flame is only about a quarter inch high. It did however have the correct shape and color. does...

So I've got my first two batches of beer in primary fermentation. The first batch which was started on Aug. 5, has slowed down to about 1 or 2 bubbles a minute. According to Palmer's "how to brew" this is the time to rack into a carboy if i decide to go that route. The brew in question is an All...

I just bought an all grain setup from someone getting out of the hobby. He gave me all of his grain and hops as well. the hops were purchases in balk, repackaged in 3.5 oz. vacu-sealed bags, and frozen until now. I put them back in the freezer right after I got them. Anyway, is there a formula...

I'm making the leap to all grain. i'm buying the stuff this week to put it together for my first brew this weekend. I've seen the hurricane burner in several homebrew supply catalogs. Williams brewing sells a NG conversion valve for the hurricane stove. Has anyone tried this? Does it have the...
