Selling a new in box Grainfather electric brewing system. If you are brewing beer with pots and propane, the Grainfather is a great way to go all electric while also allowing consistency from brew to brew. It had a small footprint, so no more storing 3 vessels, and it also includes a...

In the dining room where it belongs...for now! Build details here!

I just read an article in this month's BYO about no chill brewing. You basically brew your beer and then let it cool (generally overnight) to ambient, and pitch your yeast. In the warm months it is difficult to get my brew close to pitching temp using my immersion chiller, so I am considering...

Thought I would share my portable draft system for anyone else who might be interested. I tried to keep it simple and easy to bring with me (and a 3 gallon keg made that easy). If you're interested in how I did it (again, pretty simple but very useful), I wrote it up here...

My newly finished keezer on casters; 4 home-brews on draft at any given time and it works like a champ. For those who are interested, I documented my build here: http://boykingbrewhaus.com/2014/08/13/my-keezerkegerator-build/

I just build a keezer, and have sealed the collar pretty well with caulk. I sealed the gaps between the collar/freezer well and just ordered a fan, which I'll install for more even temperature. The keezer sits on my covered deck in Virginia, where it's routinely over 80 degrees. I've noticed...

Anyone else have any time-lapse brewing videos?! I did one with a stout fermentation, and then did another today based on my brew day. It was a beautiful NoVa day, and I brewed Tasty McD's APA as a BIAB: http://boykingbrewhaus.com/2014/07/19/brew-day-time-lapse/

I made my first mead using Wyeast 4184, and recently racked to secondary. Not knowing if I could reuse the slurry (like with beer), I scooped a cup into a jar and out it in the refrigerator. Does mead slurry work like beer slurry, can I rep itch into another (similar) mead?

I did a 2 gallon batch of Bells Two Hearted (clone recipe) using WLP001, pitched into wort at 67 degrees (OG of 1.070) and the beer fermented aggressively for several days, and has been fermenting for about 10 days. I have never seen krausen stay on top this long, but it appears to be more...

Just brewed my second all grain version of Bee Cave Brewery Robust Porter with a hydrated pack of Nottingham. The feementation was very active (lots of blowoff through the blowoff tube and some leaking of beer under the sealed bucket lid). When I popped the top I noticed a bit off an off smell...

I brewed an extract Pliny the Elder clone tonight with an OG of 1.078. Essentially 9lbs of light LME, 1/2lbs light DME, and 1lbs corn sugar. The recipe called for 1/2lbs of Maltodextrine, and I accidentally added 1lb. What will this do to the final brew? Thanks for any help!

I just bought a Pliny the Elder extract kit from More Beer, and purchased US-05 with it. This beer has a target OG between 1.070 to 1.074. Will one pack of US-05 work or should I purchase another pack?

I thought it would be cool to see who out there has a personal homebrew website, blog, youtube channel, etc. It's always neat to see what others are brewing at the moment, and to follow people with similar interests! Mine is new and it's at www.boykingbrewhaus.com. What about you?!

I just brewed a Sierra Nevada Celebration clone and it turned out great. I based the recipe on the Jamil show (brewing network) and several threads on the Homebrew Forum. I just tried the first pint tonight and could not be happier with how it turned out. I have SN Celebration 2013 in bottles...
