I am in the middle of an electric build, a lot of thanks to the threads here and the electric brewery. I bought the 50 foot ss tubing and tried to form it for the hearms coil, and now I have 50 foot of scrap tubing. I found a place, Stainless Brewing, that sells preformed hearms coils. My...

Hi all. Just a quick question. I live in NW Iowa (code for BFE), and have a limited selection of craft beer. I've worked in several different industries and know about date coding. I was wondering if anyone knew how to decipher how old a craft brew was? I've heard about Moose Drool before and...

I'm just starting an e-build, and have been ordering parts. I need a false bottom and can't decide between the Jaybird or the pico style slotted. I like both, only concern is the dead space under the pico. I've read most of the threads on here, and if you had a choice, which would you buy?

Just got back from LHBS and bought stuff to make starters, 1000 ml flask and some light DME. I have a Munich Helles kit from Brewers Best, wanted to try a starter, as my last Helles didn't turn out so good. One question, does the starter have to be kept at 50° also or just room temp? And should...

I couldn't wait any longer. I had 2.5 gal of West Coast Pale Ale (yes, Mr. Beer). I bottled all 8 liters of it and had some left over, so I grabbed a Dr. Pepper bottle, rinsed it best I could, (didn't sanitize) teaspoon and a half of sugar, and put it with the rest. It was hard as a rock after 2...

I got tired of the bland taste of the big beers, and started drinking all of the microbrews. I remembered a friend years ago used to brew his own and it was very good. I started hinting about trying it and my wife got me a Mr. Beer for Christmas. Just about ready to bottle my first batch and...
