I didn't know they had Rasputin at 70ibu in the kettle. Maybe it's just been a long time that I've had it, but I don't remember it being that high. Love it though, that's always a tasty brew to have.
Man, I want your buddy's deck! The process looks good and very straight forward. I liked that all the steps were shown and a good explanation of what the purpose is. I just sent this to a buddy that has been wanting to try brewing. He learned more from this than I could explain it. :p
All good points, I agree with every one of them!
Location plays a big role. I'd think how big Austin is that you'd get some nibbles on the gear. Have you posted on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist? FB has been the big buy/sell hub I've come to find out last year.
Definitely a niche hobby and...
I managed to find a cf10 locally, but its the bare bones tank. I'd be interested in the chill coil and jacket and whatnots if you're willing to let those go? I do already have a chiller as well. @postalbunny
I like to buy from www.williamsbrewing.com for Evabarrier and duotight fittings. Always have had good interactions with them and prices are comparable or lower than MoreBeer. They do run sales periodically on this stuff so keep an eye out.
Everyone that asks me about brewing beer and what it takes has gotten overwhelmed and turned off of the idea after explaining the process. I enjoy the labor of it for sure, and having the ability to create something so different that no one does around me, besides breweries of course. It's a...
That's very true.. I may complain and throw my own little mental tantrum, but get over it quick enough by cracking open a pint can or pouring a mug from a faucet.
I had gone to a brew north of me two years ago and they had a big sale on grains. I ended up bringing a bag of 2row and about 20lbs each of some crystals and others I thought I could use with a lot of types. I had also bought a recipe kit of a pretty basic IPA they made. I've since made that kit...
Yeah, I could totally revamp it and make things more efficient. This is using a Foundry on 220. Milling my grains beforehand, maybe a better way to cool the wort down besides an immersion coil.. there's options I need to look at and do.
I started in 2020, pulled the trigger on equipment right as Rona happened. I had helped a buddy with his brews a few times a couple years before this point. Started with a used extract kit I got for pennies, and now I've sunk more than I care to even think about in stainless goodies. Last year I...
Looking to upgrade my process to a pressure-capable tank. I've had my eyes on either a cf5 or 10, or a Ss Unitank. I wasn't fast enough to grab one from Spike during the big sale unfortunately. Everything cleared out so quick on there. I live in Lodi, CA but can drive for the right deal...
