    Woo hoo! New brew kettle

    I know it's probably not a big deal for the masses, but I'm stoked about my new 10g brew kettle I put together. It is a Crestware heavy duty aluminum pot with a bargainfittings.com ball valve assembly and a pretty simple dip tube. Bargainfittings.com is awesome, and the new valve is super...

    Hop reduction in full wort boil - first wort hops?

    I'm going to do a full wort boil for the first time using Northern Brewer's Waldo Lake Amber kit. I ran the IBU calcs through beersmith, and it said to use 18g of the bittering hop addition, and 18g of the FWHs. Both are normally 1oz for a partial boil. Most of my research here says use...

    Heck Yeah! Just took SH2B gravity reading

    Transparent Primaries Rule!

    Who knew you could spend 20 minutes watching fermentation? I've brewed all of my ales to this point in a traditional bucket. I realize now that I was missing an awesome show! I think I'm going to primary all my batches from now on in my carboy. This is just too cool to miss.

    Stuck fermentation?

    So I transferred my Octoberfest to the secondary this evening. I'm afraid that my fermentation may have gotten stuck in the primary. I had, from appearances sake, a pretty good fermentation. Awesome kreusen, vigorous airlock activity for the first week, good steady bubbles for the second...

    First use of liquid yeast

    My previous 3 batches (Stout, IPA, Brown Ale) have all been fermented using Nottingham dry yeast . For my latest batch (Oktoberfest), I got a smack pack of Wyeast Octoberfest lager yeast. I made a yeast starter before brewing, and come brew day I poured out about half of the fermented starter...

    What does cold break precipitate look like.

    I just brewed my first lager (NB Oktoberfest). I took the recommendation of my LHBS owner and used a 6 gal. glass carboy for the primary. I managed to siphon almost all the wort into the carboy without sucking up any of the hops, but after everything settled after aeration and yeast pitching...

    Bottle priming Bitter

    I'm about to brew Northern Brewer's SH2B (single hop best bitter) extract kit and I have a few questions. 1. Brewing - The kit includes 1 lb. of priming sugar in the boil. I have an issue with adding sugar and I'd much rather add some extra light DME (which I bought with the kit). Should I...

    Hello from GA!

    Greetings. My name is William and I have been lurking here for the last few weeks. Let me say first off that I am very impressed at the level of politeness and friendly discussion here. I'm a member of many other web forums (and have run one myself), and this kind of environment is common...
