Hey guys - I am having trouble getting my two PIDS into manual mode. I have set the A/M = 0 in the settings which is for manual mode. But the A-M button does nothing when I press it. I have both hooked to an RTD and they are otherwise working fine in auto mode. Anyone know if there...

Saw this for sale. I would have jumped on it but I am nowhere near starting the build of my brew shed... Seems like a good price to me. (I don;t know the person selling this) http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/tls/4658832712.html

I keg so I usually only make a label when I get inspired. But when I intend to give some beer away I like to label the bottles.

So I am going to buy a pressure cooker - mainly to make homemade dog food more quickly. But then I figured why not can some wort? That would be perfect for my starters. Anyone have a cooker they recommend? I have never used one.

A bunch of friends get together once a year in Wisconsin (nice central point for everyone all over the US) - this years trip was this past weekend. When I arrived I went to put my beer in the fridge. I move things about and see these two bottles that have no labels in the back. I ask what...

Hey guys I am considering a drive up to Mid Country Malt with my little trailer in tow. Wanted to know if anyone was wanting to go in on a bulk grain buy. I, myself, am looking to get a couple bags of 2-row and a bag of Marris Otter. Also want to split maybe a sack of Crystal 60, and...

Brewed another 10 gallons today. Now that I have managed to achieve 10 gallon batches I think I will have TOO MUCH beer! Below we have 10 gals Irish Red, 10 gals Stout, 5 gals Pale Ale... I have no more fermenters left. :rockin:

I have a sanke keg in my garage. My neighbor gave me a couple and I made one keggle, the other I have no use for. He tried to return them to place he got them but it had been 2 years and they didn't want them. So he gave em to me. If you want it PM me and we can set up a time for you to...

edit: above OG should show 1.080 Heavenly Scourge Black IPA Imperial Black IPA Beersmith File HERE Taste Notes: A very creamy IPA with trace notes of roast, but checked with a very forward Amarillo and Centennial hops presence. Balanced bitterness and smooth to drink. My most favorite...

OMG this is heaven... and aptly named Heavenly Scourge Black IIPA... The head is like playdoh and sticks around for 10 minutes or more... amazing. This really is a style that has surprised me... Excuse the crappy iphone photo...

Would Marris Otter be too much for an Arrogant Bastard clone? I have only used MO once (an ESB) and it is still in the fermenter... Should I stick to US 2-row for a big pale ale like Arrogant Bastard?

My LHBS sells rahr 2-row for $38/bag, but the MO is $61/bag!!!:eek: Is it really worth the extra cost to buy MO at that price?? Holy crap. I have never used MO, so don't really know what I'm missing.

I have not made a Black IPA before, so even though I keg I thought it would be a noteworthy enough event to whip up a label...

I was mentioning to a friend over a beer the other night that I am going to start cutting my water with distilled and adding brewing salts. He said - "why don't you collect the water from your dehumidifier?" It sounded so simple I was left speechless... Can it be that simple?? Is there...

I'll be up in 6 hours to start the 1st of 2 AG brews!! Tip one for Jimmy!

Sycamore Oatmeal Porter Beersmith File HERE Type: All Grain Batch Size: 5.15 gal Brewer: Brrman Boil Size: 7.13 gal Boil Time: 60 min Equipment: Brew Pot (10 gal) & 65qt Coleman Extreme Cooler Taste Notes: Woodsy taste of the fuggles is pronounced at first but dies off quickly to...

How high do you fill the bottle? All the way to the top? I am going to use the "low-psi, hose-on-the-tap" method. If I left headspace in the neck of the bottle wouldn't that encourage CO2 to come out of suspension, flattening the beer? thanks Brr

I have a new system that is running Vista64 bit and Beersmith does not run correctly. I get a bunch of error message popups with errors consisting of strange characters. Then my recipes are not there, and the program won't do anything at all. I imagine this is not something I can't fix with...

I have been using flaked wheat for head retention, but recently read that torrefied wheat is for the same purpose. Which is best to use? I do have a mill on hand. Is one better than the other, more expensive?
