Could I get a sanity check on this recipe? Anything look out of whack? Maybe more hops or change the schedule a little? Not looking for a hop bomb, just a balanced IPA. Thanks. Recipe: 10 gal IPA Style: American IPA TYPE: All Grain Recipe Specifications --------------------------...

Anybody here dive? My family and I completed our 4 dives this weekend and are now PADI Open Water qualified. Heading out tomorrow for a couple more dives. When we lived in San Diego we were in to reef tanks... diving in Okinawa is like being inside the tank :ban: The couple drawbacks I see...

Brewed the all grain version 2 weeks ago, added 1lb dme but ended up with 5.5 gallons instead of 5. Pulled a sample from the fermentor today... flavorless! I know this is a basic Blonde but damn give me something. Racked it to a secondary with 1lb of frozen raspberries. Don't know what to...

Could I get some feedback on this recipe? It is the MoreBeer Barley Wine kit with some additions. Too sweet? I plan to primary for 2-3 months then secondary for 3-6 months. My additions: 3lbs of 2 row 1lb of pure Maple syrup extended boil to 90 minutes 2nd yeast pack (Additions were made...

Has anybody brewed the "Eric's Bodacious Brown Ale" all grain kit from MoreBeer? http://morebeer.com/view_product/10661//Erics_Bodacious_Brown_Ale_-_All_Grain_Beer_Kit_Advanced The paper catalog gives a bit more info than the website but I would like opinions of those who might have brewed it...

I am brewing the NB Chocolate Stout all grain kit. When the directions say "laced with chocolate extract at packaging" (4oz chocolate extract); does that mean I add it when I keg? Don't understand that step. http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/chocolate-milk-stout-all-grain-kit.html Thanks

I have an extra copy (Christmas gift) of Radical Brewing by Randy Mosher, anybody in Oki want to trade for maybe a sixer of homebrew (or a couple bombers)? I would rather not deal with the hassles of returning it. Let me know. Thanks.

Happy 235th birthday to all Marines. Also Happy Veterans Day to all those that have served! I know I am early but in a few hours my family and I will be on a 20 hour "adventure" to Okinawa! 23 years in the Corps and they finally send me orders to Oki. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES!

Just wanted to post a thanks to Bobby_M. I ordered 2 site glasses with thermometers late Saturday night. By Thursday they were at my door step (NJ to SD). Can't wait to get settled in Japan and add these to my kegs. Movers picked up all our stuff Wednesday. Thanks again Bobby!

Spending a few days in Mesa, Az and had my first Kilt Lifter by Four Peaks Brewery... damn this is a good beer! Wish we could get it in San Diego :drunk: http://www.fourpeaks.com/Beers.asp

Has anybody used this pot? http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_10216561_750006003_750000000_750006000_750-6-3 saw it at the BPS here in Mesa, Az. Looks like a pretty good brew pot and the spigot would be handy. Opinions? Thanks

We talk a lot about temps on this forum and just thought I would mention the keyboard short cut for ° is hold the alt key, then type 2, 4, 8 on the number pad. I didn't search, so if this has been mentioned a million times before I apologize!

With my upcoming move to Japan all my brewing stuff has been shipped already, but as is par for the course with the military, my orders have been changed from Sept to Nov. Now I have no way of brewing and an empty kegerator sitting in the garage. I'm wondering if any local breweries will fill...

according to Blatz :drunk:

Moving in Sept to Okinawa, Japan and have been told that ingredients are hard to come by, everything needs to be shipped. My plan is to by a couple extract kits from AHS and have them shipped with my household goods (to start my pipeline asap), except for the dry yeast which will go in my...

Finished my keezer July 2nd. Had 2 corny's kegged and carbed by July 5th. Today I floated 1 of them and the other is real close. That's just myself and and every now and then a buddy drinking. Wow! I'm gonna need to brew more often :ban:

Can pin lock QD's be tightened? If so how? The CO2 side on one of my kegconnections hoses leaks. Thought I had connected correctly but the slightest movement of the hose and I can hear leaking. thanks,

Sorry for the NOOB question, but in everything I read about force carbing and sealing the keg it talks about bleeding off pressure. Is this done by turning off the gas and removing the "in" line and bleeding from the post (no relief valve on my corny's)? Or do you turn off the gas and use the...

I pitched my starter yeast Saturday at 1400 and I have yet to see any real activity but there is a pretty good layer of yeast at the bottom om my jug. Do you think this yeast is ok to use for the Stout (extract w/ steeping grains) I am about to brew? starter yeast spec: pitched 5/29 1400...

Want to get my first starter yeast going for Monday's brew day but I can't find 2L vials in San Diego or growlers (or maybe I just don't know where to look). What are other suitable containers to use for a starter. It will be hand stirred (shaken) no stir plate. Thanks
