Can you recommend a better burner? I'm not married to these things.

Hello everyone. I'm building a 4 burner stand for a 4 vessel 2BBL system. I'm using natural gas 32 tip jet burners (320K BTU). This will be a semi-automated system. I would like to regulate mash temperature automatically. I'm pretty sure I need a modulating valve. Can anyone point me in...

Maybe you could sing some Men At Work! :fro: Loved that band!

I made a 1 gallon Traverse City Black Cherry wine for my wife last fall which I used 6 lbs of cherrys to make. I racked the wine and left a 1/2 inch of cherry sediment in the 1 gallon carboy, then I racked a gallon of Double Chocolate Stout on top of that. It's settling out now, should be...

Get a bag of marbles and sanitize them, throw them in the hop bag next time. The bag will sink.

Once perfection is achieved, self control is obsolete! :tank:

Ok I can do that. I have no experience shipping rhizomes but I just received some in the mail from New Mission Organics in traverse city MI about 250 miles north of here. I'll just ship the same way they did (wrapped in wet paper towels and then in a few layers of plastic. I'll see if we can...

We're not actually a business, we're a community group. I know a great company that will ship any where any time. Call Great Lakes Hops. They're good people and they do a great business. I don't know of any company in the USA that can deliver like them. http://www.greatlakeshops.com

We have a few Santium, Brewer's Gold, Golding, Spalter, Galena, Chinook and a couple others, that are in their second year in containers. We'll also have rhizomes fresh cut "while you wait" for the next couple weeks in the following varieties; All of the above plus, Cascade, Canadian Red Vine...

Tried Chimay for the first time at the place we had dinner. It was very nice and I enjoyed it immensely, however I must admit, the homebrewed Belgian I'm enjoying right now is as good if not better...ya, it's better, to me anyway. I guess I'm officially a beer snob now. Thanks HBT! I owe my...

Beersmith says you need 9 lb of LME to get 1.079 @ 5 gallons. Convert 9 lb.s and you get 4.1 kilos, not 3 kilos. If I were you I'd boil another 3/4 gallon (3L) of wort with the extra LME your missing (1.1 kilos +0.52 kilos for the extra .75 gallon) you should have had, and add then add that to...

East side neighborhood, hopefully moving to Corktown soon. I have't sold any yet. I gave a lot away to club members, we made tons of beers with a lot and then made some hop extract* with whatever we didn't use up. *When I get a "round tuit" I'll post a thread on how I made the extract...

Ya no kiddin man, self-policed here these days. My AR-15, shottie and 1911 have kept the peace rather well thus far. (knock on wood)

I'm wondering the same question. :pipe:
