I just completed a double brew day and one of them was a blonde ale with wyeast 1318 London ale III. I've never used this strain but it appears that either I have an infection or the 1318 is taking off. Has anyone ever seen this a few hour after pitching?

So I have a used portable ac unit 10k BTUs, plenty to chill my 5 gallon batches. I'm no electrician, but I have had to take some of the components apart for cleaning before, so I have some, albiet limited, knowledge of how this thing works. However schematics are not my strength when it comes...

Hello All, I'm contemplating a Blueberry Berliner Weisse. I've never brewed either a BW or with blueberries. Really, I've never successfully brewed with fruit period. With that being said, I'll probably do a basic 50/50 split Pilz/Wheat. Any tips for the BW and or brewing with BB's?

I brewed a heady topper clone yesterday. Pitched this yeast around 7PM yesterday after hitting the wort with oxygen (it's 8:30 ish the following day). I have zero activity in the carboy. Has anyone else had issues with this yeast lagging? I have a baggy of us05 ready to pitch if need be, I...

Hello all, I need help carving 2 kegs fast. I have until Saturday, and the 2 kegs are currently at room temp~70°F and I have 30 lbs of gas on them. My kegerator is, well, kaput. I'm buying one in the next couple of days to chill the kegs. My garage is about 38°F, so I could put them out...

My brother's 50th birthday is just over a month away. I'm making per his request, an IPA around 7.5% and he wants a tropical fruit bomb. I need help with the hop selection and schedule though as I'm sure how to get the most aroma with just enough bitterness. I want to make sure our wifes will...

How much do I need to use to replace the 3% saurmaltz for a Hefe? I'm using @ajdelange method in the primer for RO water.

Im considering buying a fridge for the garage and delegating part of it as a kegerator. I was looking at pin lock kegs for the cost savings. Why do I see the preference being with ball lock kegs?

Hello all I wasnt sure if this should go here or in another subforum, mods feel free to move. Im adding some peaches to a beer I currently have in the fermenter. Im not sure if I should pour dissolved campden solution over the sliced peaches or pasteurize them before dumping them in the...

I'm taking my first shot at printing labels. I purchased labels from Amazon and designed the labels from Neato's software. Now I'm trying to print them. Four labels per page get printed in the upper 1/4 page. I guess I'm doing something incorrect. Can anyone guide me thru this thing or give...

Does anyone know what I need to do to calibrate for the labels? Is there a template to Use? I used the template they have on the website, added my posts and text, just need to print now. My printer is fitting all four labels onto the space for one.

Has anyone come across a Fizzics? Is it possible to use this as a quick cheap option to carbonate a uncarbed Growler? I've seen one for $117.

SWMBO loves Shiner Prickly Pear and it is no longer in production as of this Spring. So, I've been put to the task of brewing a batch for the upcoming sweltering Texas summer. I'm ordering this puree off amazon to add (Im thinking after primary fermentation) in lieu of actually having any...

Hey all, I'm planning to brew a prickly pear saison in the next few weeks and I'm trying to locate a market that carries prickly pear fruit. I can buy them on Amazon from Melissa's, but I'm worried about quality and shipping. Any Dallas area and preferably North Dallas markets/grocers that...

Yesterday I brewed an American Wheat. At mash in my thermometer (dial type) somehow got out of calibration, which I wasn't aware of until 30 mins into my mash. I was at 150°F, then next thing I know I'm at 130°F. So, I need to purchase a solid thermometer for my kettle and MT. Any...

I'm going to be doing 5 gal batches and currently use a propane burner. I might eventually move to 10 gal, but for now just 5 gal. I've got a 60 qt igloo MLT with a cpvc manifold and SS ball valve setup. Which kettle to go with and why?

I've searched and searched for a thread on this topic and have been unable to find anything on the best/favorite shops to get your lme/dme/grain bill/yeast/hops, etc. So I'm starting this thread as a kind of angies list for brewing if you will... What is your favorite site or LHBS to order...
