Hey all, I'm about to make my first all grain batch today. 10 gallons. i made my starter yeast a few days ago but have not realized that i have to ferment using two carboys instead of one larger fermt tank. i don't know how well i can split the yeast in half and am worried about cleaniness issue wit...

yes i agree. even i am looking forward to sampling. in fact, we should have a new section on this blog that only talks about sampling. there should be a section that talks about what type of brew currently have on tap, when there at work, and how we can sneak through the back gate to 'sample' everyo...

thanks for the input guys. After Derrin sold me his setup i've been trying to grasp a good understanding of what i'm actually doing. My first allgrain brew in this saturday. i'll call it a success if i don't blow up, but i'm feeling good about it.

Cheers

i have not had my water tested from my tap. i got a report from the huntington beach website. How accurate is that? will getting a personal report make that much of an impact? Also, how would i go about doing that? I've been messing around with beertools, brewsmith, and promash. Anyone have a prefer...

Hey all, I'm messing around with my water right now and gave beertools, promash, and brewsmith tools a try.

come on lads. i can see on the side here that 42 of you have read what i wrote. Someone please chime in

Cheers,

Derrin,

Ive sent you a few PM but haven't heard back from you. maybe i'm hitting the wrong button or something. anywho. i'd like to speak with you about buying this setup. give me a call or drop me a line.


Rob

well how much for all of it?

what kind of dinero will you be asking for to purchase your brewery?

Is the ol'bucket still avaliable, or has it been sold?

Hey fellas, I have an trappist Ale that is blowing it's goodness straight out of the fermentation lock. obviously i should have thought ahead, but it brought a question to mind. Do i need to change this lock out, or is it alright with the beer and sediment floating around in there to finish out the ...

Hey all, Thanks for letting me join the brewcommune. Names Rob. I've only brew about 5 batches so far, but everytime i do i get a little more impatient to start brewing my next batch. That said, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to brew a batch with me and give me a few pointers here and th...
