Are you using a pump or gravity? I have a Therminator and Hopblocker and honestly I haven’t used the hopblocker since switching my kettles over a year ago. All I do is give my wort and good swirl at flameout and then let it sit 10-15 minutes before pumping it through the therminator. I have done...

It really was an great selection that everyone brought over. I would say my top six would be: Grey Monday Chocolate rain CCB Huna Black Tuesday Prairie Bomb with the blue wax not the pink Deth's Tar The surprising part was both years KBS and all the Dark Lords were still almost 1/2...

On Saturday I had some friends over for a little tasting. 11 hours later this is what you get. It was an epic night and it took 9 hours before the first beer was spilled. Everyone brought great beers. Bruery - Mrs Stoutfire (750ml) Bruery – Grey Monday Bruery - Black Tuesday...

:(Sorry to hear about the family troubles Ed but unfortunately I had to call my credit card company to reverse the charges. I submitted my order on 07/10 and never heard back. I finally contacted BMW and on 07/16 I was told some items were backordered 5-10 business days so I said no problem just...

I brewed this for my 1st 10 gallon batch in my new home about 4 weeks ago. All went well considering it was a new setup that was untested and a fairly complicated brew with all the graham cracker goo to deal with. But it went fairly smooth except for one thing. I disassembled all my equipment...

Once I find a deal on a work shop sliding curtain one of the stalls will be dedicated to my woodworking shop and the rest for the cars. And going from one bathroom with 5...

So I was about 90% finished building my brewery in my old house this summer and just about to start brewing again when things made a turn for the better and we found ourselves looking for a bigger home which meant no brewing when the house was up for sale. So after brewing two batches this...

I have some bottles of Dark Lord years 2010-2011-2012 and I am looking to trade for some Cantillon. If anyone is interested let me know! Cheers

Now I am freaking out! Thanks a lot.:p

I have been calling them and emailing them like crazy also with no luck. Poorly run company, every time I get a live person they can’t believe that the guy who quoted me won’t call me back but they refuse to take the order and won’t help either! If anyone knows of another company please let me...

My old smoker is about dead and I found this on sale at sears for $150 so I figured I would give it a try. I haven’t used a gas smoker in over 15 years but I must say it did a really good job on my ribs. Need to dial it in and get more smoke out of it but the temperature holds really well for...
