Hey all, so I brewed a big Russian Imperial Stout this weekend. I continued to collect additional runnings parti-gyle style, for a small beer. I collected about 6 gallons of 1.022 wort. It's dark as night, beautiful. However, I have some random ingredients, and would like some help...

Wow, lots of WTBs these days??? Good sign for the homebrew industry. I'm looking for about 4-5 Corny keg lids, don't need to be perfect, nor do they need gaskets or o-rings or anythings. Just want to make sure they have vents. I have a few that are UN-vented (just a solid top). I know I...

So we used this for one 10 gallon ESB batch, and it fermented and made a damn good beer. I'm selling this cuz I'm gonna work on version 2.0. - Here's the deal, it doesn't seal, so technically you'd be getting an "open" fermentation. But it was kept spotless, and the beer fermented clean, and...

Hey there, so I carbed my keg o Common Beer, and attached the picnic tap. However! Beer started spraying out of the plastic ball lock fitting where it attaches to the keg. I popped it off an turned the gas down, figuring I overcarbed it or something. So is it just a bad fitting? Or did I screw...

Hey there, so I'm trying to scale up the 5GAL batch below that I've done a few times, to a 10 GAL Batch. Can I just double it? Or is there some good thoughts on how to tweak it up. Thanks much ! 9 lb Belgian Pale - 89% 1 lb British Crystal 50-60 - 11% 1 oz EKG @ 60 min 1 oz Willamette...

So I have googled a few responses, but I thought I should probably put it up to the good folks of HBT first. So I'll be moving soon, and the movers would not pack up and move my full 25LB CO2 Tank. I'm trying to decide if I should just throw it in the car and take my chances? I'll be...

So, unfortunately, I have to leave the most beautiful area in the US (Northern California) for a less desirable location. I'm located in LODI, CA. But if you want to make a deal, I'll be in Redwood City the 9th and 10th of August. My movers come in one week, and these are the things they will...

This is a veery scary place down here in "Brew Science." And I never thought I'd darken the door. But I really want to brew a Dortmunder, and I realize that a distinct water profile is super important to this style, so I come to you good mad scientists! I can tell you have I zero idea how to...

Lookin for about 6.5 gallons. The Home Depot and Lowes buckets are only 5 gallons. And I'm not really keen on spending 25 bucks on a plastic bucket or better bottle. Any good ideas would be grately appreciated. I love a deal... Meatwad

I don't get hung up on styles much, but I just really got curious. I'm sure this exact recipe has been brewed many times, but it's new to me. I took an ESB recipe that I have brewed a bunch in the past and added Biscuit, Chocolate, C-120, and some flaked oats. 8# Muntons English 2 Row Base...

I harvested a pacman from an esb I made back in January. I harvested it on January 8th, washed it, and stuck it in the fridge (fully sanitized jar). It layered up beautifully and looks good. But can I wash it one more time and build a starter for this? What do you guys think?

Hey there, so I'm brewing up a fairly standard ESB recipe, but I wanted to punch up the flavor and aroma. I'm sticking to a mellow hop schedule with EKG and Willamette: 1 oz Fuggle @ Boil, set Timer for 60 min 1 oz Willamette @ 30 1 TSP Irish Moss @ 15 ½ oz Fuggle @ 10 ½ oz Willamette @...

Hey guys, I have a 4912, and a 20lb CO2 Tank. Right now I just have both inside the fridge with a picnic tap. Seems to work fine for me right now. But I just finished another beer and need to get both kegs in there, and I'm gonna do the two faucet tap tower as well soon. My question. Have any...

Lookin forward to poppin a few soon

So, the name is right on it, so I guess I know that they're Saison Dupont. But I'd really like to know if this is an official style of glass, and where I can get some, WITHOUT the logos. Any thoughts? This is such a fine way to enjoy a beer... Thanks! Meatwad

Thought I'd put it up to you guys. I'm going to brew a ESB today, here's the hop sched. My question, are the last two additions at "flameout?" Or is that a dry hop? use time oz variety boil 60 mins 1.0 East Kent Goldings boil 30 mins 1.0 Willamette info boil 10 mins 0.5...

When I'm dividing Max Gravity Points available by Volume in Gallons, am I using the collected preboil volume? Or the post boil volume? Thanks !

Hey-o! So I brewed a California Common, such a great house beer. Some pics below. Beautiful day here in the Central Valley, high 50s and sunny. But I have a repeating problem, and I need a little help. PROBLEM: I'm probably 5 batches into all grain. My preboil volume is always targeted...

Hey now! So, I'm looking at building out a Brutus 10 with some help from a buddy with a machine shop. I keep lookin at all these designs and they appear quite high off the ground. What would be the CONS of having this thing built much lower to the ground, so it would be easier to see...

Hi. I built a starter for my Steam Beer a few days ago, put it in the fridge, decanted, and hit it with another small amount of wort. 1/2 cup DME, and 2 cups water for both feedings. However, I think we're leaving early for Thanks-mas now, I was gonna brew tomorrow. Can I put this in the...
