3 years old. Used only a few times. Keg not included. Moving cross-country & don't use it enough to justify bringing it with me.

Hi, I recently bought a Blichmann BoilCoil, but I'm having trouble piecing everything together besides the BC itself to actually safely operate it. I bought the 10 gallon 240v version. I live in an apartment. This is the main reason I need to switch to electric brewing; no space/option...

I wanted to put a quick disconnect mid-line from my regulator to my manifold for easy disconnect and movement of my co2 tank (currently outside of my keezer, snaked through a hole in my collar.) Pulling the tubing off of the manifold barb gets annoyingly taxing after the 2nd time doing it. I...

A while back I bought the zymico thermothingy for adding a thermometer through the wall of my cooler: Thermothingy™ kits for thermometers. Anyway, I just got around to installing it. It involves drilling a 3/8" hole. Seems easy enough. Except, I did not drill it straight - it went...

I've been experiencing this weird phenomenon lately where my gravity readings before and after boil don't jive. Example: Brewed a pale ale this weekend 10# 2-row, 12 oz Crystal 60, 8 oz Carapils My goal was for 7.10 gallons pre-boil, boil down to 6 gallons, transfer 5.5 to carboy...

Just got a 3 keg, dual body reg, 10# tank setup this past week. I have a couple of questions I can't seem to find answers to: 1) How does one go about purging [anything] with CO2? Carboys, kegs, etc - I mean, actually - what does the process entail - do I need any different tubing? How...

I brewed up Jamil's hop hammer recipe (from Brewing Classic Styles) which is basically a Pliny the Elder (double ipa) clone. Fermentation went well - I used 2 packages of rehydrated safale us-05 (dry), original (1.081) and final gravity (1.012) were within my target. 10 days primary, about 2...

I always have a hard time getting the insides of my racking, bottling etc tubes dry. Would love to hear others' techniques for this.

So, my local water supply (Philly) treats with chloramine. I already learned the lesson of using spring water or treated (potassium metabisulfite) for my brew water after losing my first two batches to the god of plastic beer grossness. Anyway, I usually clean (soak in oxyclean + scrub with...

I'd like to upgrade to a 10 gallon megapot from my 7 gallon aluminum turkey fryer pot (which is not really big enough to comfortably boil AG batches in.) I currently have a basic immersion chiller that is described as fitting "5 and 7.5 gallon pots" and "25' of 3/8" diameter coiled copper...

Hey all. I originally mentioned some of my problems in this thread but it was suggested that I give more details in the All Grain forum. Anyhow, I built the rubbermaid 10 gallon MLT. I am using the same ss braid as almost everyone else is using. I have done 4 all grain batches using this...

Hey all, I recently started homebrewing and my first two batches came out with a plastic / band aid taste. Both were extract with steeped grains - first was an IPA, second was a belgian wit. Both worts were cooled via an immersion wort chiller relatively quickly. Both were in a food-grade...
