Brew & Grow is great but they want $90+ for a 5# tank (filled) and $15 for refills. Their used kegs are also $65 for pin locks, which is at least $20 too much. Anyone know local tank prices? It looks like I could get up to 3 kegs shipped to Madison for $35 each plus a total of $5 for "Great...

I'm having issues with all of my lighter beers having the same off taste. I recently read and reread several things about water chemistry and I'm convinced that my highly alkaline water is to blame. I hadn't been adjusting my water at all and according to calculations, my mash pH was probably...

I don't know, those paint strainer bags work OK for people and they have a pretty wide mesh. Maybe just get a five gallon paint strainer bag and line the mesh basket with it if it looks finer than the stainless steel mesh. I like that basket a lot. It could maybe be used in your boil for whole...

I got my order and I'm happy with it. Everything is heavy duty and high quality. Minor frustration: At first I couldn't get the tri-clover to close down on my bottom drain sanke adapter, but a large pair of pliers helped close it enough to screw it down. For keggle noobs like myself, adding...

Is it really cheaper for you to order from Europe than from the U.S. or so you just like the stuff better? It says you're in Toronto. Just curious

I don't see how it attaches to a drill. It looks like the Allen wrench shifts the input 90°. I don't understand why you did that.

Check www.staples.com and search for "stock pot." Aluminum 10 gal, $34, free shipping to local store for pickup. Mobile link, sorry: http://m.staples.com/touch/product.html#461372

Tell your friend that you'll make it if he drinks it. That should get you out of it. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. "Hefescheisse?"

That's a nice hood. :onestar: With the fan mounted horizontally, I would be concerned about water condensing inside the fan and sitting on the bottom of it. It happened to a window air conditioner I have. It eventually rusted out the bearings because it was splashing water all the time with...

I was thinking about replacing the nylon rollers with wider skateboard wheels (if they exist) that have been turned on a lathe to cup and center the tubing. The guide wheels could be running along the wall to help keep the pan from deforming.

A 32qt boil kettle is pretty small for 5 gallon batches. I got a 40 qt and it allows for more vigorous boiling and helps prevent boil-overs.

I'm going to go with an electric keggle because I already have the keg. It was free. If that wasn't the case, I would have probably bought one of the aluminum kettles from Staples and drilled it out for elements. Having thought about it more, and having looked thoroughly at brewhardware.com, I...

With shipping, that 40 quart pot from Food Service Warehouse comes to $48. Pretty close. That would be an excellent buy if you don't have a Staples near you. Those stainless pots from Adventure In Homebrewing are probably the lowest prices I've seen. I like the stainless brew pot idea, but...

bump. If you don't want a keggle and don't care if it's aluminum, this is the way to go I think..
