    Cascade vs. Columbus for dry hopping

    So I have 3 x 5 gallon buckets of IPA that I want to dry hop. I have about 6 ounces of Cascade and 6 ounces of Columbus. I've used cascade a lot to dry hop and I like it a lot but find it's all citrus (grapefruit) and perhaps a little "thin". I'm hoping the "dank" descriptions i've read for...

    Can you remove stick-on thermometers?

    Granted...I'm "frugal" (read cheap)...but has anyone figured out how to remove a stick-on thermometer ( fermometer ) ? I've tried with mixed success...usually they de-laminate (pull apart between layers). Does anyone think pre-heating with a hair dryer or heat gun would work? Can you ruin...

    How to cut aluminum

    My new-used brew station has 3 large banjo burners under 3 x 20 gallon Bayou aluminum kettles. The guy I bought it from "threw in" the 3 huge steamer baskets. My burners need wind screens. The burners are 9.5" diameter and 4.5" from the bottom of the kettle (seems like too far but VERY...

    How likely is a "bottle day" infection?

I read all over these forums of additions in secondaries and bottling buckets that have never been "properly sanitized...raw/wild hops, cold brewed coffee, all kinds of fruit/purees/rinds even honey and sugars...etc..etc...etc...

    Help quickly please! Too much grain!

    So I learned today that 14# of grain and 4.5 gallons of water is TOO MUCH for my 5 gallon orange MT. To get all the grain in I drew off about 3 quarts. In the end I was able to add back about half of it. Now I am 15 minutes into the mash and have 45 minutes to figure out what to do with that...

    Better Home Brew by Jorge Zarate...comments?

    Has anyone tried this learning program? Can you offer feedback? Seems a little too "silver-tongued" of a pitch...reminds me of Motley Fool...way too wordy. But it sounds like uncomplicated advice from a single source and maybe heavier on technique for success than "technology". BTW, I've...
