    Dig Hops while growin' ??

    Hi; I may have sold my place here in Montana, and will hopefully be moving to Tennessee within the next two months. My hops are from a bunch of plants that came to Montana in the late 1800's/early 1900's. No idea what kind of hops they are, or what country they came from, but I'd really like to...

    Ultimate Beer by Michael Jackson

    This is a 'used' 192 page book, dust jacket/protective cover is intact with minor 'wrinkledge' and a small tear on the lower front. All of the book corners are undamaged. Book, without the cover on it, looks like new. No damaged or wrinkled pages, no writing or defacement on pages - looks like...

    Is it me or my keg?

    For the past 3 brews, I've ended up with flat beer! (and yes. I do drink my mistakes!). The first two kegs I tried force carbonating - followed instructions to the tee (the only difference is that I can't cold crash ahead of putting the primer in, it has to carb at room temps) - first from my...

    Brewing in an Electric Turkey Fryer

    I had almost finished putting together my 5 gal, 3 vessel electric system in MT - (10 gal hlt, 5 gal boil pot, 5 gal mash pot w/pumps), and then came down to TN for a 2 week visit, and 1 1/2 years later we're still here (the wife can't stand the idea of leaving the grandkids ) :>( .

    Hop Characteristics?

    Is there someplace on HBT or on the web that might identify all of the various characteristics of the many hops available? Right now I'm drinking an APA that says .... "This classic APA displays the complex bitterness and aroma of the hops from Yakima Valley, WA. It boasts a fragrant bouquet of...

    Wild Range IPA, World Brews, Rochester, NY

    Just bought a sixer of this cheap IPA at ALDI's for $6.99. I'd like to find out what kind of hops they use, but their websites are just placeholders, not sites! If you have ever tried or bought this beer, let me know what hops you think they use, since most of what I've read on BeerAdvocate has...

    The Big Boys are Dukeing it Out!

    I just saw this, kinda funny, the poor babies are both losing market share - 'bout time they admitted it! MillerCoors sues Anheuser-Busch over corn syrup ads https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/millercoors-sues-anheuser-busch-over-corn-syrup-ads :bravo: I don't think they're accounting for...

    Sparging @ 180F?

    Most of the recipes I see here and everywhere else on the net, tell you to sparge at between 165F to 170F (very rarely, there's one for 175F). I have recently purchased an old 4.5 gal coffee urn that stops and holds at 180F for at least 2 hours. Not being a brewing GURU, (I only brew for me, no...

    Hops failed on a Pale Ale?

    I was watching some videos on You Tube and came across this .... has anyone tried this? It requires a "not bitter Ale" so if the ale itself didn't fail, just that the hops didn't come out as bitter as you would like, it seems that this would be an ideal time to try out this recipe! if you do...

    I've got 5 gallons of Apfelwein and 5 gallons of Cran-Apfpplewein brewing right now, and I intend to keg each of them as still wine, becuz we will be taking a trip out of state that may last a month to 6 month (as yet undecided). I'd like to see what a sparkling wine would be like of each of...

    Ageing beer in a keg

    I've got some kegs, but haven't started kegging my batches yet. If I were to use one or two of them for ageing an Imperial for a while, how long would the beer last in the keg before I'd have to bottle it? Also, would it have to be refrigerated for the length of time, or could it just be kept at...

    Brewtarget projected volumes

    What is up with Brewtarget? I used this a few years back, and it was always spot on, my main complaint was a lack of documentation .... now when I put in a 5 gallon recipe, it projects a 2.90 gal batch. To test this I even upped the boil volume for 60 min to 8 gallons, and still it only showed...

    Big Beer’s U.S. Problem Just Got Bigger

I'm having trouble figuring out how much hops goes into it. it gives this info: NOTE: I have re-written this so I could put it down in a way that I could understand - more like the recipes I'm used to...

    Recipe Wanted, Oakshire's O'Dark 30

    I've lost my May/June 2011 BYO (which had the cloned recipe), in a move between Tennessee and Montana. I'd appreciate it if someone could PM me OR quote it in a post here, so I can make it again. It was a great Cascadian Dark Ale that I didn't even need to tweak! Thanks!

    Paint-ball gas tanks

    Since I'm making plans to get into kegging, and bottling with a beer gun, I've got more questions: I bought a couple of paint-ball gas tanks at the flea market for using when I start to keg. I've read they work good when you want to go mobile with a jockey box - but now I've been told that...
