what is the trick to getting the siphon to work properly. i couldnt get it to work right and i am afraid i ruined my first batch. and yes i practiced with water before. please let me know what the trick is and tell me i didnt ruin my beer

For some reason when I started my batch on Friday using leaf hops for the first time I didn't think about the leaf hops blocking my drainage. It was a problem.

Since I use an immersion chiller what would y'all reccomend for a hop blocker that I can use with the immersion chiller?

PHILLY BEER WEEK INDEX @ THE BREW LOUNGE

Here is the last posting that I did on the subject. This is all coming together rather nicely. I did a test run today and I must say that the route is pretty awesome. It's right around 5 miles.

Yesterday, the San Francisco Brewers Guild held its 2nd annual Slow Beer Festival on March 1, 2008 in the San Francisco County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park. The event was co-sponsored by Slow Food San Francisco. The idea was to pair San Francisco’s local brewers with locally made foods and explore different tastes from pairing each together in a variety of ways. It was fun event and we lucked out with some gorgeous weather to help enjoy the day. A sold-out crowd enjoyed beer from a dozen breweries and food from at least ten.  read more »

How do you guys brew?

As for myself the way i noticed is that I have been brewing alot of APA's so that I can develop my own recipe for a perfect house brew.

So what is your guys approach, do you brew alot of styles and are satisfied or do you go with the constant brewing of one style?
