SOLD I live in Satellite Beach, Florida if anyone is interested in my homebrewing equipment package. (2) 6 gallon Big Mouth Bubbler Carboys (fantastic carboy by the way, easy to clean). (1) Plastic standard 6 gallon carboy, (1) glass 6 gallon carboy with safety carry strap. $20 ea...

My method is to suspend bag, bring wort to a boil and in the interim give 2 or three squeezes. No sparging. Now with a 10 gal batch the weight of my grain bag is not trivial so maybe that's what makes me lazy in this regard. I suppose I could run off some wort and rinse but my intent post mash...

johns, Sorry about this less than scientific attempt to help, this would be so much easier if I could find my spark plug guages but here's some photos. I know they're in the garage somewhere. Maybe behind the snowblower? Wait, I live in Florida WTF is that snowblower doing in my garage? Who's...

I ordered a Barley Crusher with the large hopper early in my all grain career. I batch sparged for about a year and have since switched to BIAB doing 10 gal batches and love it. I can't see going back. I also had poor efficiency at the beginning and it was definately related to my crush. I tried...

Definately not glassware related, I am serving a Dry Irish Stout on Nitro on Tap #2 that has that just right head and mouthfeel but glassware or changes in sanitization of kegs are good suggestions. This is a very tasty beer, reminds me of some lower carbed cask ales I've had. It's odd yet...

Hello, I brewed my 35th batch on my same all grain BIAB system and something really odd is happening with this one. I force carbonated as per usual, 30psi for 18-24 hours, reduce to serving pressure which has always worked before. This english IPA, when served up seems to have a correct head...

I agree with Seven, with BIAB you don't need rice hulls. Their purpose is to avoid stuck sparges. With BIAB it's not a problem, wheat, pumpkin, leftover halloween candy by the pound? Bring it.

I also like to dry hop in the keg with 1.5 ounces of Amarillo in my 1.054-ish Pale Ale or 2-3 ounces of Centennial in my IPA. I don't do secondaries, just rack from primary to corney and dry hop in there for 5 days or so. I boil a hop sock for 10 minutes then add hops either pellet or whole then...

Before every conference session they mentioned that they were going to post the audio from the sessions "in about a month". There were so many good seminars and some of them were running concurrently so I'm stoked to go back and listen to them. I bailed on note taking knowing I could go back and...

Thanks Tony, this site has been such a help to me I really wanted to be able to give something back. I'm glad to be of any help with my first post! I run off into two 5 gal fermenters. I love 10 gallon batches because; 1) It's, like, twice as much beer as a 5 gallon batch (duh) and 2) It...

Tony, I have switched to BIAB and am not looking back. For me simplification without any loss of quality coming out of my kegerator is worth it! I'm using a 20 gal Megapot from Northern Brewer with ball valve and thermometer. I brew on my porch under an overhanging ceiling. I climbed in...
