Everything is sold, thanks. Getting out of the hobby. Unfortunately I don't have the time or energy anymore as I'm back in school, working full time, and have two small children. It was fun when I was an out of work newlywed - not so much anymore! I am not shipping any large items. Local...

Hey guys, My 30gal Blichmann BK has a warning on it about moving the kettle when it's full. Specifically, don't do it. Is that because it's just heavy and dangerous or because the handles can't handle the weight? I noticed they weren't riveted through the sidewall like some of my other...

All right folks, maybe you can help a brew-brother out here. When I used to use a cooler I'd hit my mash temps +/- 1 degree. Switched to SS pot with false bottom and ever since, I've been having trouble. The space under the false bottom is almost exactly five quarts. So to calculate temp of...

Hi y'all. I'm thinking up crazy ideas in my head again. Has anyone ever heard of anyone trying a 1bbl gravity fed brewhouse? I'm thinking of trying large batches a couple times a year, but we are pretty low-tech out here. A lot of y'all use electric pumps but we lose power often enough that...

Barleywine. Mashed at 158. Nottingham yeast cake, 1.097 to begin with, now it's 1.028. 69% attentuation doesn't seem quite high enough, but then I did mash pretty high. It has been stable over the past week and I've been rousing the yeast just to be sure (never had bottle bombs, never plan to)...

Hi y'all. Been a long time since I posted last (years?) but I'm in urgent need of a solution. Been brewing for a while now and my beer is fantastic. Never worried about clearing or fining agents. So I just started my first wine kit. (Winexpert Selection Estate Washington Riesling.) It has...

I'm making a Wit today (if this pans out) but the 1 pint/1 cup DME starter I threw together yesterday is not panning out the way I expected. I'm using WLP400. The starter is extremely sweet. When I put it into the hydrometer tube to see if the yeast had done anything with it, it was so...

Once upon a time, I was trying to get the labels off some Dark Horse Brewery bottles so I could reuse them. I painstakingly scratched the labels off with a credit card. Then, after half an hour, steel wool, Brillo, detergent, and acetone, nothing worked to remove the adhesive goo where the label...

Greetings all. Just joined today and have a few questions. First off, I'm out in the sticks in lower Michigan. I have five acres that I'm going to put into barley and a few hundred square feet I'm going to put into hops. I am going to grow beer from the ground. Specifically, I'm going for...
