Didn't take many pictures along the way as the build progressed, but here are a few that I snapped (crappy cellphone pics). Recently moved, so I'm scrambling to build my reserves back up and will have all 8 flowing within a few weeks. Really happy with how it turned out and wish I had done...

I will most likely be moving within the next 6-8 months (military) and want to use up some of my spare grains/hops laying around so I don't have to worry about packing/shipping. Yes I could bring it with me, but our stuff could end up in storage for who knows how long, not climate controlled...

So I was having SWMBO sew me up some hop bags and one for the boil kettle if I ever wanted a nice easy BIAB setup....when I got to thinking (sometimes good, sometimes bad).... It's a PITA cleaning out he mash tun at the end of the brew day and I learned my lesson the hard way not to dump the...

At first I was pleased but now this is becoming a problem. I'm consistently getting low 90s mash efficiency and mid 80s overall efficiency. When brewing AG kits hitting way too high OG and ending up with stronger brews than planned. My temps are good and batch sizes have been spot on. Do i have...

Per Widmer Bros. website, these are their specs: OG - 1.064 / IBU - 65 / Alc - 6.5% / Hops - Alchemy (their own blend) and Cascade / Grains - 2- ROW PALE, 2-ROW CARAMEL, 2-ROW CARAPILS, SPECIAL ROAST, CARAFA SPECIAL II From what I was able to find, "Alchemy" is a blend of Millenium and...

Just brewed up a Chocolate Milk Stout from NW and the estimated pre boil gravity was 1.044 w/Beersmith. Hit that dead nuts on and was very please. Estimated post boil gravity called for 1.049 (per NW recipe) and I hit 1.060 with between 5.25 and 5.5 gallons going into the fermentor, which is...

I have a brand new Bosch intercooler pump that was a spare for my old car. I know there has been talk of using fuel pumps and why you wouldn't use them, but what about one of these? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0071N4Z0K/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 It's rated for temps up to 275, 317GPH, and is...

I made a 2L stater (at 1.040 with nutrient) of WL500 48hrs ago knowing it has historically been a slow starter for me. I was hoping that by the end of my brew day today it would be high krausen and tried to gamble the perfect timing. Well, it's still not ready and will most likely take a good...
