Brewing With Total Confidence
Separate names with a comma.
I crushed 13# of grain for a brew....into a brown paper bag...rolled and stapled the top of bag...put bag in kegerator. Things came up and 3...
It's just kelp, but yeah, byo is good.
I started using it after hearing some DME brands have PGA in it. Propylene glycol alginate is used in many of the BMC beers to help their low...
I have been adding a 1/2# of light dme to my recipes lately for head retention, with great results. I have tried carapils and wheat in the past,...
When you guys run crown, do you cope your inside corners, or just 45 it. I've been coping all my life, and these days most jobs spec out MDF,...
The weather has me a bit bummed out today. I had two brews planned today, (well, a mead and a brew). I have my fermenters clean, my ingredients...

Will you please brew this already!!!! I want to give it a go but I need a "this tastes just like HUB" post from you first. What I really really...

:idea: You can make yeast starters without a stir plate or an erlenmeyer flask. You have to use a bit more volume, and wait a bit longer, but...
I dry hop with whole hops for 2 weeks, the last 5 or so days are part of a cold crash to make the hops sink to the bottom. I'm curious...If you...
