For sale: My three-stage brew stand. This was fabricated for me by a professional fabricator. it is a three-keggle brew stand, with burners and a common rail gas line. The frame is built from tubular steel and designed to be strong enough to hold the weight of all the equipment (full...

AS is...it will be a crowd pleaser, but still be more flavorful than a BMC. Eerersrrsrh?)l Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Sorry, man. The RIMS tube is applying heat to the RIMS. You're right; my schematic for the logic calls the tube the "RIMSsystem" so i'm used to calling the heating portion of the system the 'RIMS". In a couple of weeks, I'll have an opportunity to move the sensor position to the heating...

Thanks for all the input, guys. I'm friends with the SABCO folks, and I know their system relies upon thermostatic control (as opposed to RIMS). I DID take the added necessary step of installing a fitting at the end of the RIMS tube, if I decide to move the sensor there. The concern I...

Folks, Pardon me, please, if this ground has already been ploughed, but I cannot find where my questions have been addressed after some searching. I am having difficulty controlling the temperature of my mash using a RIMS system, and would like some recommendations on how to better control...

crane-- I suspect you're correct in terms of a strainer. my intent when posting this would be to put the strainer in an easily-accessible way into my plumbing, which would be more easily-maintained than tearing my plumbing apart and cleaning out my RIMS tube. Upon further investigation, I...

I've built a brewing rig that uses a RIMS system, and this weekend's brew session saw a failure of the false bottom; needless to say, I had to disassemble the plumbing and clean out a RIMS tube that was PACKED with grain. Does anyone have a recommendation for a stainless steel strainer...

Nope, no pickle jars were used. I understand they were picked, packed and stored in freezer bags.

I received a pound of wet Cascade hops that someone grew, and was delighted to start crafting an all-cascade IPA with the help of some dry additions for FWH, so that the wet hops could be showcased as aroma and flavor hops. The guy also gave me a bottle of Pale Ale he brewed with it, and when...

You may be onto something. I could almost suggest that the flavor is a butterscotchy flavor. I am now doing a starter for everything I brew. The Altbier experiment came through great. It actually came out more as a nut brown ale type of flavor than what I've had as an altbier, but I'd bet...

I work in Maumee (office in Arrowhead Park). Barr's Public House always has interesting stuff on tap. Last i was in there, they had Boddington's Pub Ale on Nitro--that's when I discovered that I didn't care for beer on Nitro. :) Other 'n that, head to P-burg and Swig.

If you just want to buy craft beer, here's where you go: The Anderson's Marines in Sylvania Churchills The beer and wine cave---they also have beer on tap and growlers. Most of the liquor stores are also figuring out te mix-and-match concept

I Don't think you're trying very hard, friend. I have my fair share of gripes about Toledo, but finding good beer at good restaurants is not one of them. Most of the places I frequent, are not in Toledo proper, but consider to be in the Toledo area. Here's my list of places where you can go to...
