Sams club had cherries on sale. So i grabbed 6lbs for $14. I sliced them in half and kept the pits in them. Then stuck them in the freezer. Anyone ever tried real cherries in secondary? Did you do something similar or should i throw them in the blender and make a puree? Will the freezer...

Came across a deal on the interweb with free shipping. www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100598963/h_d2/ProductDisplay?cm_mmc=CJ-_-683153-_-10368321&langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053&AID=10368321&PID=683153&SID=KxAWgrvOEeGMpyas14OV6Q0&cj=true

I have a few sour beers in my kegerator that im dieing to get into, but it may be up to a month before i attempt to brew my first one. If i open some and pour the last 1-2 inches into a sanitized growler, will the dregs keep ok for ~1 month like that (kept air tight and at 40 degrees F)

I have a jaybird FB 15" in my keggle MT. Today was my first batch trying it out and I had to dump it. Grain got underneath the FB and got into my hoses and pump :(. The pump is fine, but I don't know what happened, because my diptube was still secured in the hole. Jaybird owners, do you...

Today was the worst brew session i've had :(. It was my first time using my new wallace weldless stand. Everything was going well until 30 minutes into the mash. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but somehow grain got underneath my false-bottom . I have a jaybird false bottom (15" in my...

I just had a Duchesse De Bourgogne over the weekend and loved it. I've been AG brewing for a few years, and would like to attempt to clone this beer. I don't mind waiting the 1+years to make this, but I was wondering where i should start with this. 1. From reading up it seems rather split...

Has anyone try to stretch thermoplastic tubing over the 1/2" mpt pro-flow camlocks? I like the rigidity of the thermoplastic tubing, I bought thin walled silicone and my chugger sucked it shut on the inlet side. I'm now debating on whether to go silicone or thermoplastic. So to summarize 1...

Probably a dumb question but is it normal for chugger/march pumps to not have a power switch? You just plug them in for on, unplug them for off?

I built my wallace style stand, just need a pump. Been waiting for a chugger for a couple of months, the new shipment was supposed to be available for sale ~23March. I thought it would be appropriate to start a pool for the date they will actually be available for purchase, so that we can...

I'm building a wallace stand with 3x bg-14 burners. I'm going hp propane for now and will go from black pipe --> needle valve --> hose of some type --> bg14 burner. I'm trying to find what hose to use, the 3/8 hd hot water heater hoses are only rated to ~30k btu (bg-14 is ~220k btu) so i don't...

I was in lowes picking up some copper to convert my IC to a CFC, and saw some gate valves. Anyone use them for propane on their rig? I see ball valves and needle valves are used a lot on here what about gates? something like...

I live in a city and don't have much of a yard. I'd like to try to grow hops maybe anchor them to the side of house (im thinking in the aluminum flashing on the roof line) is this a good idea? I've never drilled through siding and am kinda nervous at the thought. Does anyone know of...

Ive been brewing AG beer for ~4 years, and I would like to try my hand at wine. It seems that i can reuse much of my beer brewing equipment (glass carboys, stir sticks, hydrometers, air locks, etc) with the exception of possibly a wine thief, de-gasser, and corker. Is there another essential...

Anyone ever use one of these guys? http://www.brewhardware.com/accessories/114-mashtube I'm building out my system now and would be looking at using for sparging my keggle mash and/or for whirlpooling in my keggle BK. Just curious if anyone has used and what they thought of it... Thanks!

I'm finishing up a project that involves a Netdunio, some one wire temp sensors, a wifi adapter, highcharts.js, and jquery. The goal is to have a pretty web interface for monitoring my brewstand temps. I'm pretty pumped because I just got everything wired, soldered, and coded. So far I'm...

I just dropped off my 3 kegs at a welder. He said he can tig weld 8 couplers on them for $45!!! I think thats a steal and just wanted to share. Hopefully the quality is good. I had them already drilled out the kegs and labled all the holes and couplers. Rochester Welders Rochester, MN

i doing something similar to this with a netduino. I bought some cable off amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003EI0XRK/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20) its 3C 22AWG, but it doesnt appear to be thick enough for a 7' run (id like extra length in my probes. What gauge cables are you using...

I hear that you shouldn't run a march or chugger pump dry. How does one avoid doing this when transfereing from one vessel to another? for example to dough in, when you transfer from the hlt to the mash tun, and want to transfer every drop wont you run the pump dry momentarily when the...

Are these burners the same http://www.brewershardware.com/10-Low-Pressure-Burner.html and http://www.agrisupply.com/bg-high-pressure-cast-iron-burner-/p/64494/cn/5400001/ One says 60k btu vs 100k, but if i went with the agrisupply burners with these...

Hi, upgrading my system, going to a direct fire mashtun. Just cut the tops off the kegs gonna have couplings welded, but have a question. I'm currently using something like this in my cooler mashtun: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004XSC5/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Has anyone configured...
