I'd like to see something on growing hops in Florida, but don't know if we have anyone that has done it successfully. Josh and I did a presentation on filling...
Anyone know a place in town that carries this beer? I had one at the Outback Steakhouse in Venice the other day and it was murky to look at, muddy to taste,...

Sounds to me like someone needs to educate their employees on the products they sell so they can sell them while they're still fresh. We used to carry coopers...

Racked my saison to kegs tonight.one week after brewing. The sample tasted Belgian and quite hoppy. I hope the hops drop out a bit. Perhaps I was a bit heavy...
The NY Times ran a nice article on our hobby two weeks ago. Too bad it focused on the higher end and did not show that you can build systems for much much...
I'll be brewing a pale ale tomorrow night with about 9 ounces of hops in 9 different additions. Don't know whether it will be a no-chill or if I will use the...

Danny Sounds tasty. I am serving that saison I brewed just a week or two ago. I filtered it, force carbed it, and it is almost gone already. Had a few birthday...

I have always been meaning to try the no chill method. I wonder if I could use my decommissioned blue fermentors? How important is the headspace issue? I...
The less headspace the better. The aussies squeeze their cubes before capping to minimize trapped air. Heat should pasteurize the interior, but should of...

Some space recently opened up in my kegerator cooler, and I considering throwing together a lager of some sort to ferment in there. I have a DIPA and a Coconut...
I've seen people share their serving space with lager fermentations by wrapping a heating pad and a blanket around the fermenter. If you have a second temp...
Hi Tim, 41 is the very bottom number I've ever seen for pitching, and even then the beer will need to warm to around 45. You might get away with it, but it ...

I wonder if a blanket would be enough. I regularly set my fermentation temp for lagers at 48 I don't think another 6 degrees lower would be too much of a...
Sorry, I was unclear. I meant an electric heating blanket wrapped around the fermenter (I take the fuzzy cover off my wife's and strap the vinyl part to the...

I was not clear either. I don't think you would need to actually use an electric blanket. I am speculating that insulating the fermenor with a blanket might be...
Thanks Gemma Our club members are very talented. I'm sure someone has something they want to share besides beer. If not we will share some beer. I hope another...

Oh my God. The first patch was so good. Things that come to mind are filtering,maybe some iceberg in the hop rocket? What a shame. Seriously maybe there is...
Warm it up, let the yeast eat the sugar. Probably have to vent it a couple of times. Then chill back down and see what you have. Might be the tastiest ...
