How am I dying? In a fire: Alaskan Smoked Porter Freezing to death: Harpoon Winter Warmer Sun stroke: Corona Aneurysm: Skullsplitter Bicycle accident: Fat Tire Amber Gunshot: Colt 45 Starvation: Guinness

Hi everyone, Here's my latest prob. I live in a NYC apartment. No room. Tall ceilings though. I just got a Sanyo 4911 ($80 used, Craigslist - had to go to Brooklyn to get it). I am going to keep it ON TOP of my regular kitchen fridge. So two questions: First, can I drill through...

Just siphoned my SNPA clone from glass carboy to corny. I had it on 1 oz. whole-leaf Cascade hops for two weeks - my first dry-hop. I didn't want hop debris in the keg, so I sanitized a small grain bag and wrapped it around the end of the racking cane as a pre-filter. Heh heh, I chortled...

I did adjust for temp. when reading the hydrometer but stir? I didn't stir at all. I just dumped the cool wort into the fermenter and topped off. When should the stirring happen? Is it possible I took a diluted sample off the top while all the heavy malty goodness was hiding in the bottom?

looks like it's calibrated right, though I suppose it is possible I read / wrote the wrong result on brew day. I'll keg it, wait a month, and hope for Sierra Nevada 'lite.' Maybe a good lawnmower beer.

This is my third post (and my third batch). I'm addicted to your good advice. You guys are enablers. RE: My Partial Mash SNPA clone attempt - I've just racked it into the secondary and took a sample to taste/measure. It has a good flavor, but it's thin and not quite hoppy enough. I...

Still a n00b, but I brew 5gal. batches as follows: I do a 2.5 gal partial mash boil, transfer to ice-bath in sink and add a large ice cube (I use one of those semi-disposable, 8 cup tupperware-style containers that Ziploc makes). I use tapwater and freeze it the night before I brew. After...

Thank you all for your good advice. I have relaxed, had a homebrew, and ceased worrying. The wort has begun to clear, but just in case there are some yeast cells still 'having relations' I have moved the fermenter to a cool, dark place and put on an Ali Farka Toure album. Raising a...

Hello - I am a first-time poster. Thank you in advance for any help. I just brewed a 5 gal. partial-mash Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone. I obtained the yeast by making a series of starters to build up about a cup of slurry from a commercially bought bottle. This is the first time I've tried...
