I just bought my own mill, and I will be buying grain in Bulk? What does everyone do about volume? The base malt will be fine for me to by a 50#+bag but if I need specialty grain of only a pound or two it would take me a long time to burn through that. I am worried about keeping it fresh etc...

My job does not allow me to replace my frozen bottles of water as often as I would like in my fermentation box. So I am going to upgrade.....because I can :) I have been told a-lot about Peltier inefficiencies, But I have also been told I can buy beer at a store. Neither seem to faze me so...

What should I do, The system I built has the ability to do just about anything, but I am not understanding some basic ideas. Once I am done with the mash and I start to collect wort should I add hot water on top of my grain (fly sparge) until I reach the total pre-boil volume? Should I...

I have an opportunity to purchase a 6 foot glass door commercial cooler. 1 extra foot for the external compressor, 7 feet total. What do you all think? Would this be a smart purchase or to big of a DIY? I went and took a look it seems to run fine, has 5 temp controls. Compressor fins are...

Does anyone know where I can purchase a Grain example wall hanging thing??? It is a wall mounted example of the different grains and how much they have been roasted. From light to dark, I see them at the HBS and they show all of the different roast of the grain. A grain rainbow if you will...

Below is a copy past of the Texas state law regarding the production/possession of beer. My question is... What does the word fortified mean? The possession of wine, ale, malt liquor, or beer produced under this section is not an offense if the person making it complies with all...

What are the recommendations for bags in the Wort to hold hops and anything else I might put in there? I have seen a PVC looking bolted holder above a converted ked. Is that a DIY or something available on market? I do not use a standard pump and the one drawback is, it is relatively easy for...

Suggestions? New on the forum so I apologize if this question was covered before. I am going to dry hop my IPA. Should I put them into the 2nd? Or the 1st just before transfer? Recommendations/suggestions would be great. Thanx.

Just finished my "new" system and brewed my first batch since 2002! Started with an IPA and my sculpture worked well. Minor hiccups and mods required, but I think it will work well. Look forward to learning from the millions of post on the site.
