Hi, yes, it is still available. It is the first version of the 20L; about 5 years old. You know, I actually don't know the brand of the mill. It is a 2-roller and I'd be happy to sell it separately.

Sorry about that. Hoping to sell the gear in total for about $250, but willing to discuss piecemeal. Pic is attached. Yes, actually. I'd be happy to sell for $800. I don't have a pic of that handy as I type this, but could upload later today. It comes with the insulation sleeve and a...

After a decade-long run in this hobby, I've found that I am just not brewing much anymore. Given that, I'm looking for a good home for all my gear. I have pretty much everything you would ever need for home brewing, from a grain mill to kettles to buckets to carboys to wort chillers to bottle...

Seems I'm late to this party, but I am a lawyer and my colleagues are always extremely interested in my homebrewing. Craft beer is well appreciated nowadays, especially among many professionals. It also is just something interesting to talk about that makes you stand out among the sea of other...

It turned out great. I intend to make this again, because I was trying a new process for the brew and didn't hit my numbers the way I intended. Even with my flub ups, though, it is a really tasty beer. Highly recommended.

I'm in. Thanks, Spike!

Here's to hoping you're right! Will update if it doesn't die down soon. It's just those big bubbles that aren't popping that concern me...

Any thoughts on these? I brewed almost two weeks ago and only took a gravity sample earlier this week (after soaking the wine tuief in StarSan). This is a Fizzy Yellow Beer using US-05.

Ha! What is the width of an Amex card these days? My issue is that I use an electric system that requires a coarser grind (around 1.2mm, or 0.048 in.), so I need to make sure it is not too small. Perhaps I need to use multiple credit cards to gauge the distance. :)

Thanks! Figured as much, but just wanted to confirm. Agreed I really need to get a gauge.

Insanely basic question here, but... I just bought a twin roller grain mill from my LHBS. I have a knob on each side of the mill that allows me to adjust the space between the rollers. If I want to, say, set a 0.05" space, do I set both knobs to 0.05, or do I just set one of them to 0.05...

Yeah, that is my worry; otherwise, that is probably how I would go. Also, the pumpkin ale is toward the amber side of things, so would also be close to the Oktoberfest style (just with spices). Some of my thoughts are California common, rye pale ale, cream ale, a strong bitter. On the dark...

Hi all. Every year, my wife and I host a Halloween party where I brew up there different beers for the night. Unsurprisingly, the staple every year is a pumpkin ale. However, I then vary up the other two beers so guests can look forward to something new each year. The goal is to have a good...

If anyone that brewed this beer still reads this thread, should it have a sweetish flavor in the fermenter? I brewed about 1.5 weeks ago and took a gravity reading tonight. I unfortunately forgot to take an OG reading, so had to guesstimate with my refractometer. If my guesses were right, the...

Totally understand. It's the result of the education of your palate. Chefs often describe the same phenomenon. Once you start learning about the art of food preparation and how small differences in things like ingredient choice or preparation can affect the greater whole, you start to notice the...
