I'm hoping someone on here has messed with one of these. I was planning on building a ferm chamber, but this fell on my trailer from a grocery store remodel. I've got to plug it in at the shop tomorrow and play with the settings, but from the manual, it seems there is not a specific temp...

I posted this in the Electric forum, with no responses, thought I'd try here.. I've been accumulating parts for a long while, and I'm about ready to start my control panel. I may upgrade to a metal enclosure in the future, but for now I've got a nice piece of 1/4 acrylic that I'll build off...

I've been accumulating parts for a long while, and I'm about ready to start my control panel. I may upgrade to a metal enclosure in the future, but for now I've got a nice piece of 1/4 acrylic that I'll build off of. Screenshot below, wire colors I'm sure will hard to read. Coming from a...

I've got one the blender pictured, mounted and ready to go. I am picking up my Nitro tank and an adapter for use with my spare regulator next week. Is that all there is too it? I have the faucet obviously. I just hook both tanks up and adjust the mix and go? Is it better to carb up on...

Selling this for a friend of mine, is in hand and ready to be packed and shipped. Brand new in box, Perlick 3 tap refrigerated draft tower. Tarnish free drip tray, and 3 tarnish free taps with black handles. From what I find on the internet, this package could cost as much as $1200 depending...

Here's some pics from todays brew session. This time around I remembered the Seeds of Paradise, quite spicy to the tounge when crushed. Had some issues with my wlp830, that maybe weren't even issues. Created a starter, it took 5 days before there was any activity, and smelled a bit. (was first...

After a not welcome break, I'm brewing a batch of BM Centenniel Blonde today. In the pot now with 8.3g (a bit much I know but I tend to have longer boils so it evens out) and I'll have a PBG as soon as it chills a bit. :ban: :mug:

I don't want to burn down my new stand, nor my house so I need some advice... The end goal here is a temp solution. I need to hook my BBQ tank, to a Y, then to 2 regulators, that feed 2 BG14's... It won't stay like this for ever, but maybe the summer... Can I; Get one of these...

I dug through several threads and compiled a recipe that I think I'll start with. Problem I'v run into is the recipe calls out Weyermann Munich II, and gives it 8.5 srm.. I can't find this anywhere... I can only find Weyermann CaraMunich II, and it's 40-50srm.. I went ahead and got the...

Well here's my plan. A couple jpg's and the sketchup file. I should be getting the steel this weekend or early next week. I'll be using two bg14's and a 6 inch bg12 clone. The pics and sketchup just show 14's. Future improvements will be automation, and eventually "flex-fuel", having the...

I started with 24#'s of concord grapes, I had a thread previously about where to start, foot mashed them in my 6g ale pale, added water to get to about 4.25 gallons total goop, then added about 6#'s of sugar to get my hydro reading up to ~13%, tossed in the campden, then next day the wine yeast...

I got about 25#'s of what appear to be concord grapes from a friend and thought I'd experiment with some wine. As of now I have them all de-stemmed, sitting in a bucket. I have no local source for campden tabs tho. Is there some other form of this chemical I can buy at other-than brew stores? I...

Well, I thought it was the thunderstorms and lack of rain that had my hops looking wilted and cooked. Nope... It's the spider mites I just found.. The first leaf I taped gave up a very large, pink, vampire devil.. About half the size of the red angry smiley that signifies my mood about...

After toying with the "clay-roller" grain mill, It's now too late to boil and all tonight.. Question is, is it better to leave the mash overnight, or collect the runnings in my pot and leave that overnight???? Kids have track at 6am and I just can't go until 2am brewing tonight.

I've got one of those cheap turkey boiler burners, maybe the problem, but I can't even warm up for dough in without getting soot caked all over my pot... Now I've got a nice new shiny stainless 15g from swmbo and I don't want to ruin it.. Is there something I can do to minimize this? I've...

I'm brewing up a 5g batch of BM's Centennial Blonde and I've got some questions about figuring my efficiency. Mash in was 3g even, now I'm doing kind of a "fly-brid" sparge where-as I started a fly sparge, until I had 5.5g in the kettle, then just let the rest of the sparge water go and sit...

:mad: I brewed up the Strawberry blonde and bottled tonight, but it's all off.. It tastes like a brake cleaner, or paint thinner or something, and has a similar smell. It all tasted ok before the fruit. ANy ideas? I am sanitary, but I guess I could have missed something. I used frozen...

Should I do it now, before winter, or wait until spring to move it? It's in the flowerbed, but we built an arbor for them and I need to move 1 plant about 3 feet to a permanent residence. It's a first year that shot up about 8-9 feet this year, I expect alot of growth next year, hence the...

Anybody know any "local" sources for this? HBS isn't so local and I'd rather not pay $7 shipping for a $1 item. The guy at the beer store mentioned bicyclist buy him out of it during the summer, so I thought maybe GNC, but they looked at me like I asked for crack. Green-mart knew of it, but...

I got my shipment today (for the 999 Barleywine), and the yeast pack (Wyeast 1056) is swelled up enough that I cant feel the pack inside. I can't squeeze it enough to find it. Is it possible it's broken during shipment? Should I open it and go ahead and make a starter? I don't have any DME (what...
