Looking to get a stainless steel carbonation cap - the kind that you can screw onto a 2L soda bottle and connect a gas ball lock disconnect to carbonate the contents of the bottle. I know these can be bought new for ~$10 but I figured someone may have one laying around that they don't use would...
I have put hundreds of pounds of grain through my Cereal Killer powered by a ~$40 high-torque drill from Harbor Freight and have had no issues with the setup at all. So that's my recommendation!
For sale: two PET (plastic) carboys. Both hold 6 gallons; one is Better Bottle brand, the other is Midwest Supplies brand.
Both have minor cosmetic scuffs or old sticker residue on the outside but are perfectly clean on the inside. Immediately following every brew, both carboys were cleaned...
Just last week I was milling grains for a planned brewday the following morning. My mill can only handle 7 lb of grain at a time so I usually have to stop halfway through and refill the hopper. Well this time I didn't stop, instead I decided to leave my drill running in one hand and reach for...
I've currently got 2 beers in my keezer, a blonde and an IPA. Both beers were kegged at the same time and sat in the keezer for a week at 11 psi, 37 degrees F (first time trying the set and forget method). I sampled them after a week to find no carbonation in either beer. Disappointed, I set...
I'm referring to this one: https://www.homebrewing.org/10-Gallon-2-Weld-Volume-Marked-Brew-Pot_p_6827.html
I'm in the market for a new brew kettle; my Bayou Classic has rust on the inside from where I did the DIY volume etching trick w/ a battery - disappointing! I saw that AIH is having a sale...
Definitely looks like yeast. It even looks like you use dry yeast and sprinkled it directly into the fermenter. Some granules got stuck to the neck of your carboy and are "rehydrating" up there.
I always use 100% RO and adjust with CaCl, CaSO4, and lactic acid. I use Brewers Friend to work out the amounts of each based on a desired profile (usually ball park profiles like "light and hoppy" or "amber and malty") and desired mash pH (5.3-5.4 usually)
I used to keep some bottles of old crappy homebrew from when I first started around to use for beer battering fish. The flavor doens't come through and the extra-bubbly over-primed beer makes good crispy batter :)
After chilling the second batch of a very tiring back-to-back brewday last weekend, I turn around to find an ounce of flameout hops sitting in Dixie cup on my brewing table. Oops! This was the first blatant ingredient/brewing process mistake I've made in almost 4 years of brewing.
I figured...
I have a very simple faucet/beer line cleaning set up. My kegerator is still pretty new so I've only used this cleaning setup twice but it seems to work well and is quick and very simple. I put a pic at the bottom of this post.
I submerge a pump in a bucket of hot oxi clean (pump is from a...
You decide.... its kind of ambiguous https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/iron-cross
Back on topic, that capper looks sweet and it if fits standard beer bottles (it looks a little tall... definitely bring some to test out) I think it would be a good buy and would likely outlast...
