I see every model of the Blichmann Brew Commander are currently out of stock. Anyone know if they're doing a update to them and making the function better for the mash scheduler instead of going off a predetermined time?

Look to purchase a 20 gallon SSBrewTech infusion mash tun or something similar 15 to 20 gallon stainless insulated tun. Willing to pay shipping for the right deal. Thanks

Hey Brewers, I dont know how many have history with this but it's worth a shot. I just recently decided to go down the path of making a frozen yeast bank. The plan is to make a 1000ml starter for my given yeast and then to divide it into tubes and add a water glycerin mix and freeze. I have a...

I made a starter 2 days ago and it has been spinning away on the stir plate. My question to you is should I just keep letting in stir or throw it in the fridge? I plan on brewing tomorrow and am worried that having the starter go to long will let the yeast eat away all of the sugars before I...

Hi all, I plan on making a Irish Car Bomb Stout tomorrow and wondering how I would go about adjusting or figuring out the alcohol percent when it is finished? The recipe calls for adding 12oz of Jamison Irish Whiskey(40 proof) to the secondary. Looking at the notes of a family friend who made...

So I have been making yeast starters for some time with all my brews but it dawned on me last time that I don't regulate the temp like I do my fermenting beer. Is this a issue ? With summer in full swing and hot days to come, should I find a way to put my stir plate in my fermentation chamber ...

Tomorrow I plain on bottling my bavarian hefeweizen. According to bjcp it should be primed 3.6-4.48 . I would really like to prime my bottles to that but the corn sugar that came with my kit is not enough to reach that level of Carb. I believe I will only get 2.5 or equivalent to the prime for a...

So last Sunday I brewed my first AG biab and I was using beer smith to determine when I should dough in. It told me 161 degrees should make my mash water 154 degrees when my grain was 68 degrees. My kettle measurments are 15 x 15 inches and holds 13.25 gallons. Was using 8 gallons at the time...

So I brewed up my first batch the other day. Everything went fairly well until I pitched the yeast. Nottingham ale yeast. I forgot to rehydrate. I thought I shocked the yeast but with in 12 hours my air lock started to go nuts. This continued for two days then stoped yesterday. And the beer...

Does anyone know of a digital thermometer that is accurate and that the probe can be left in the kettle ? Everyone that I have seen says not to submerge the probe in liquid. I think this would be a huge upgrade as I do biab and noticed on my last brew day that the bag got Hung up on my kettle...
