While cleaning up after what seemed to be an average brew session, i realized that instead of adding a tbsp of 5.2 mash stabilizer to my mash, i added a tbsp of PBW instead! what an idiot. My spage was a litlle slow, but i just thought my crush was a little much maybe. I hit my gravity and it...

Its been happening for quite awhile now, and we have pretty hard water in NE. I have a filter that was a paper/cloth sediment filter and now I put a charcoal filter that is supposed to filter chlorine. Still happening,:( whats up?

I recently have been very temped to go pro with my brewing in the next couple years. I'm pretty timid when it comes to "selling" my beer. I am not looking to get rich, just earn a living close to what I make now(30-40k-ish). I dont know much about the buisness end of things. That being said, a...

Ever since I saw how much water I wasted on cooling my first 10gal batch, I had to build something that used the same water. A small deep freeze, 8gal and 13gal trash cans, and a pond pump (100-130gpm) and a cheap thermometer with a probe. Had the water down to 46deg, circulated and the wort...

Help! Nobody would answer this in my build thread, so it gets it own (Sorry) planning on cooling a foamed in box under the bar for the kegs with that small fridge, the box will only be 22w x 17d x 28 h. Has anyone cooled an area similar area with that size of fridge? Maybe with a small...

I know there has been plenty bar builds on here, but I felt the urge to share. Just moved my 3-tier from my garage in the house, still have a couple water lines and my NG to run, little bit of floor left to do. The only shot of the old bar I could find Painted the ceiling and the...

Building a bar with keezer built-in. No wood attached to the keezer, just around it like a box. Does the keezer need some fresh air, will it get hot when it runs...

Building a bar with the keezer under the countertop. It will not have wood attached to it just all around it like a box. Is the keezer need to have a little fresh air,will it get hot when it runs? sorry about the crude drawing.

Over the winter I am tearing out our old bar and building a new one, along with some other remodeling that doesnt involve brewing. My bar design is very simple, a bar sink, a small fridge, and a keezer with a dual tower. There will be a regular counter height (36") and a tall counter (42"), on...

I want to add a thermometer to my HLT. Not so much concerned with the weldless part ( done that before), wondering if i can use a compression fitting around a stem thermometer. I kinda tried a 1/4 o.d. comp ring around a piece of poly tubing with the stem inside of the tubing, it all didnt...

Went to my LHBS and he only had 40L Crystal and the receipe calls for 10L. Should I adjust for the diiference? If so how much?

I currently have a kegerator that i built about four years ago. Nothin special, one keg and a cheap tank and reg. I am going to build a keezer with two faucets and kegs. My question is how do force carb one keg (30 psi), and have one at serving presssure (4-7 psi). Does the gas have to be on...

I made 4 batches of extract brew (dry yeast)and bottled with priming suger. I then made the switch to AG and made 4 batches (liquid yeast) and force carbed in a keg. The taste difference between the two is pretty distinct. The bottles are sort of sharp? tasting and the keg beer is so smooth...

Where can I get silicone o-rings without going online. Made my own bulkheads for kettle and HLT scared that just stock o-rings wont take the heat.

Just bought a natural gas 32 tip wok burner(155,000BTUs) Havent really seen or heard of anybody using on these. Propane stuff is easier for average joes than nat. gas. Im a plumber so it was cheap and easy for me.
