50 bucks

The march pump was used only used twice. Conical was sold, I do have a barley crusher mill left though, and a O2 Tank (full) with SS stone.

Hello, I'm selling my 10 Gallon Boiler maker for $250 and my Chilling station for $350 Chilling station consists of the Morebeer Chilling stand, 1/2" copper counter flow chiller and mounted March pump with high temp tubing and Stain Steel quick Disconnects. This pic is before I added...

So Its been almost two years since I had weight lose surgery, and now I'm ready to get back into the brewing game. However turns out after surgery I can't drink beers with carbonation. Beers on nitro are no problem, as well as cask ales. So I'm asking you to share your cask and nitro...

I've gone the espresso route before, I chilled the wort to 160 degree's and floated freshly ground espresso in a nylon stocking (wife was ripping lolz) for 5 minutes, then pulled it and chilled the rest of the way down. After fermentation, I used potassium sorbate in the keg and poured 1/4 cup...

Best of luck! I have to say I have this on Beer gas with a stout faucet, and the kegs are over 2 years old. I just tapped another one and it just keeps getting better with age. I would suggest taking some oak chips and soak them in rum and rack it on the oak chips for a week or so after its...

I'd come but you can't call me Sumo anymore =(

I make fermented tea for my wife and her friends. I buy 5 one gallon Arizona Southern Sweet tea's from the market, and then I add 4 pounds of corn sugar. I hit it with a little O2 and then add the blue package wine yeast. Comes out very tasty and they love it. I let if ferment for a month or...

The original recipe took 3rd place at the Topsfeild Fair, and it was my most requested recipe of a beer that I have brewed. The club brew in the Rum barrel came out excellent as well. It was great enough for me to start experimenting with oak chips in the fermentor. You won't be...

I do it all the time.

I do step mashes in my cooler all the time. Just start thick like 3/4 of a gallon per pound and step up from there. Your going to have to use a lot of heat in the water, make sure you have someone helping you to stir it in. I always pre heat my cooler before hand with 150 degree water with...

The beer came out great. I never did dry hop it with more apricots. The smell and flavor really came through. I should make this again, it was a nice spring ale. It did lose the flavor over time though, and I think me blowing CO2 out the keg to pour it room temp helped to kill the flavor. I...

Paul thats terrible. However I agree, if he pulls it off I'll carry you on my back. Don't be discouraged though. You can make decent beer in a Mr. Beer. Its how I got started. My buddy now makes all his Brett and Sour beers in my old Mr Beer fermentors.
