    Coffin condensation spot???

    So, got things together and all has been running well in my keezer. I have one spot that has a little moisture on the outside of my coffin top. What could be the cause of this? I haven't taken the back off and dissected it just yet. My keezer is garage-based in NC. Currently, it's about...

    My Pallet Keezer

    Well, I'm finally far enough along to make a post on here.... First of all, I'd like to thank Brickout for posting his pallet keezer. When I bought the deep freezer, I knew I wanted to make a keezer and I had grand thoughts of spiffing it up and making a nice spot for it in the dining room...

    Keezer height question

    I know it's personal preference, but I'm curious what everyone's height is on their keezer from the floor to the top of the 'bar'. I'm building a 3 tap keezer now (pics and build thread coming in the next few weeks). Currently, mine is 44" from the ground to the bar top. I'm 6' tall and...

    Recirculating Mash Question

    Any downside to recirculating wort in the mash tun with a pump? I don't have a RIMS or HERMS system, as I use a single infusion mash and fly sparge. Currently, I vorlauf into a pitcher (and pour it carefully back into the MLT) until the wort is clear. I didn't know if there would be a lot of...

    Temperature Controller Question

    Hi, I have a question about my temp. controller's sensor probe. My controller is a Aqua Logic TR115SN (looks like a rebranded ranco). Anyway, last night I plugged the freezer up to it to test it out. When the probe was inside the freezer (in a cup of water), I noticed the temp was reading 97...

    Keezer Questions...

    So, I'm about to venture down the keezer road and I have a few questions... I have my kegs, freezer, and temperature controller. 1. What is the desired height and depth of the coffin? I know it needs to be tall enough to support whatever glass I fill up, but is there any other...

    HELP - quick temperature controller question

    So, I have an opportunity to pick up a temp controller for a pretty good price and I have a quick question. The controller is an AquaLogic TR115SN. Checking the data sheet for this one, it says that it will handle temps from -30 - 210 degrees. Is a temp controller a temp controller? I mean...

    TopTier water filter mount

    First off, I want to give credit to the following thread on HBT. I used this as a base to put together my filter. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/water-filter-setup-29145/ There wasn’t a water filter bracket that I could buy commercially or model to fit the TopTier stand. So, my...

    whoops, my yeast cells may be dead!

    So, I brewed an AG on Friday. I bought my recipe from AHS and they shipped my stuff to me pretty quick. It was shipped out last Monday. I did decide to get the 'cold' pack thrown in with my yeast to keep them fresh. Maybe I was dreaming, but I figured they'd put it in a little dry ice...

    gas / beverage disconnect and post question

    is there a difference (other than color of the disconnects and the groove in the posts)?

    AG batch number two in the carboy

    So, I was a little late updating my blog to reflect my second AG day. It was, for the most part, a success. There wasn't any issues to speak of. It was a very busy day at the brewery as I brewed this stout, kegged the ESB, and upgraded my kegerator (fridge) to hold two kegs. Unlike the...

    question on hop stopper or false bottom

    so, i have a question on building a hop stopper vs. using a domed false bottom in my brew pot. the pot i have is 9 gallons with a ball valve (viewed here). i use good ol' gravity to feed my counterflow chiller. during my last brew, i had a little slow down issue because of some pellet hops...

    First AG in the bag... well in the fermenter

    So, I now have the yellow stripe on my bumper for an AG'er. That's a rookie, for those non-NASCAR fans. :) Going into this, I didn't know what was going to happen or what to really expect. I started off as I do every session (heh, like I'm some pro or something...I've only done this four...

    brew kettle + siphon filter?

    hey all... just wondering if any of you (who do not have a valve on your kettle) use a filter on the end of the siphon? i siphon my wort out via gravity through the chiller. during my last batch, i plugged my chiller (internally) with an orange peel... not good... so, i'm wondering if you...

    Batch Number 3, goes down hill quickly...

    So, I brewed my third batch yesterday and it was supposed to be a wheat, Wounded Trout Wheat. Murphy's Law was present during this boil. I should have seen the signs and stopped :). Heh, who am I kidding... I had to have one of my previous homebrews and enjoy the day! You can read the...

    mouthfeel a little off???

    i've poured a few pints of my beer from the keg and so far it tastes great! the only thing that is a little concerning is the mouthfeel seems a bit too thick for an American Amber.... well, its really more of an IPA since it's a touch on the hoppy side for an amber. do you guys have any...

    Second batch, in the keg...wahoo!!!

    Well, this was my second batch of beer and my first adventure into kegging. I will say that it was easier that bottling. Things went ok, all-in-all, but I'm sure there were things that would have made my task smoother. This site has been a heck of a resource for brewing and kegging, thanks a...

    Batch number two... in the fermenter

    Well, the brewing process is complete for batch number two. I brewed an American Amber this time. Last night it was fermenting nicely... bubble, bubble, bubble... All-in-all I'd say the process went pretty smooth. There were a few things that I learned and I'll put them in place next...
