Hey guys, I was offered two "keg" looking things from work. They were only used once or twice, and I know what substances they were used for - and they would be fine for beer contact with cleaning/sanitization. They are in practically new condition. Basically just a little dust. My...

I found a 9 gallon brew kettle/propane burner on craigslist im thinking of buying this weekend for $90. He says it's aluminum. Anyone ever seen one like this? (see attachments) I've never seen a kettle with a wider mouth like that....and don't know if there's any design flaw that might...

Just finished my diy 48qt cooler mash tun. Well, almost finished, just have to get the manifold cut and put in. Thanks to all the forums on here that offered the direction!

Ok so I've had more than a few samples before tonight. But tonight marks two weeks in bottles. Got a great head retention, decent clarity (could see the tv images through the glass), and great taste. All this from extract. It's official. I'm hooked. Now to finish my mash/lauter tun...

Found this cooler for $12 on CL. have plans to pick up tomorrow to convert to MLT: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/for/2812279175.html 48qt coleman cooler. Apparently in great condition. Would this be overkill for a 5 gallon batch with a planned rectangular slotted manifold? Might do...

I've searched a few times on the site to avoid asking a common question...but can't find any answer. Might just be the search function on the mobile app. Anyone have a good suggestion to prevent DME from sticking to the bag when I add it to the brew kettle? It has clumped on my during my...

Sooo... I know I will get some flak for this, but I occasionally enjoy the commercial light beer - namely Coors Light - with some pizza while I watch some college basketball with the guys. Tonight we got some of the aluminum pint screw top bottles to enjoy. Im bottling my first batch next...

So, after about a year of meticulous reading and studying, I brewed my first batch. Brew day went pretty well. Then I racked to a carboy at ~8 days. While I was at my LHBS picking up a carboy stopper, I also picked up a tub of b-brite 'cleanser'. Not paying attention, I thought this was...

Hi everyone. I've been perusing the site for a few months now getting some tips for my new interest. I just registered yesterday, so I figured I'd give a brief introduction. I'm a recent graduate from N.C. State University in Raleigh (Go Wolfpack!) in Chem. Engineering. Kind of got...
