I started homebrewing last year, and as the amount of equipment I used grew, I found the amount of time that I spent hauling stuff up and down from my basement was rivaling the amount of time I spent brewing (not to mention the number it was doing on my back). Additionally, due to my particular...

This morning I walked in to my "brew (fermentation) room", the fourth bedroom filled with accumulated junk, elated with the very lovely aroma of beer brewing only to find that the ceiling and walls were covered in yeast froth. The air-lock was clear across the room; my first blow out in twenty...

Brewing safety is not just for the protection of the brewers but goes hand-in-hand with the quality of your finished liquid beverage. Brewing safety discussed here includes proper clothing and proper working environment, and how they help to guard an employee or brewer against potential chemical...

For those that prefer it, here is a link to the video: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/sids-one-vessel-all-grain-brewing-system-360364/ This system is a modified BIAB system that allows me to brew all grain 10 gallon batches solo in...

Yeast rinsing has been covered countless times inpodcasts, YouTube videos, and a number of websites. I have been rinsing yeast with very good success for several years. I seem to follow the same practices as shown in all of the above outlets. Over the last year, I have started to switch out my...

I have been designing a lot of systems lately and thought it would be nice to have a blog dedicated to each so it would be easier for me to direct people and for reference. Hopefully this helps someone... The Eagles Nest is a three vessel system with nesting kettles and a folding stand. This is...

Dear US brewing enthusiasts, back in 2014 I tried to start a company and sell "BierBots". After selling 30 units and reaching "brake even" the market was saturated, so I closed the company again. Today, after finishing my education I finally found time to wrap everything up and post it on...

I’ve been brewing kilju with turbo yeast for the last two days, I used just under a gallon of water with about 6 pounds of plain table sugar and a quarter packet of 48 hour turbo yeast. I checked it this morning and found that it’s EXTREMELY carbonated. I stirred it just a little and it fizzed...

This is a 3 position brewing stand. It currently has one burner installed. It is all tube steel that is completely welded. There are 4 locking heavy duty castors for easily moving around. It is unpainted, with just some surface rust that can be buffed off. Ready to be painted or powder coated to...

Good day, Just found out that I am headed to Okinawa for the next few years. I am debating bringing my brewing stuff along but not sure if this is a good idea. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Okay so this is gonna be a weird post... anyways I'm kinda worried! Okay to start, I wanted to try and make some alchohol for extremely cheap (for my friends and I's lan party) and I believe it's called "Hootch". I used a bottle of Grape-peach-something 100% juice, fleischmanns fast acting...

I often get the question from those who are interested in starting with homebrewing if it smells. So I decided to make a video about it. I think it is part of the brewing. If you don't like videos, I also wrote a blog post about it. https://drhansbrewery.com BTW! If you have not already...

SO I currently have a shed that has been cleaned out and houses my keezer but I'm looking to turn it up a notch and see if I can turn it into a space I can actually brew in. It has electricity and the brewing vessel would be my RoboBrew. Currently in the shed, the walls are unfinished and the...

I had a 1/4 hp utility pump lying around. I bought it in December when I had water in my basement while I was waiting 6 weeks for the waterproofers to put drain tile and a sump pump in. Since I hope to never use it again as a water mitigator I decided to re-purpose it into a Keg washer. It...

Happiness is... Enjoying the nectar of our labor, or to put it another way feeling satisfied that I’ve brewed a good very drinkable beer. That is something I think we generally have in common, but what are the day to day events that cause you to feel happy? For me this morning it was seeing my...

Have you ever felt the pang of brewing withdrawal? Ever had that listless feeling that you're missing something, or at least missing out? The first of the year was a busy time for me, so I for the first couple of weeks, I didn't brew. Then I got sick! I was hanging around the couch, feeling...

Hello! I am very new to home brewing. I recently bought dry yeast from northern brewer that is designed to be pitched in a five gallon batch. However, I am only brewing 1 gallon batches at the moment. Is there a way I can store the unused yeast after I open the package without contaminating it...
