Yesterday my aeration stone didn't have good bubble action, even though last time I used it I boiled it when I was done. Yesterday, I let it soak in PBW for half hour then rinsed. When I got home I put my microfilter on and put it in water, BUBBLES! I took the stone out of the water, removed the...

Holy cow! I owe you a beer or three! Thanks for the heads up!

Hello. I "HAD" the Johnson A419, but in moving a wire came lose and shorted out the controller when I plugged it in. I saw the Thermostar from Northern Brewerer. Is that any good or should I buy another Johnson? Thanks in advance.

I'm starting to save bottles to make a barley wine. After the beer is bottled and I have 50ish bottles, what CHEAP ways DO you use to hold those bottles?

...where the barb meets the stone. It leaks out only at the union to from the stone so it did not aerate my wort correctly. This is a brand new, never used stone. I've only had one before, but was having issues with it so I got a new one, but this one sucks worse. Are some stones better from...
