Hey all, I finally bit the bullet and bought a 26 gallon single tier system tonight. I have researched a bunch of systems and decided to go with this one. I have read reviews and feel good about the choice. A question I have to anyone who has one is what have you added to yours to make your...

This seems like a simple question but I know that there are a lot opinions. I am looking to find or put together a new system that will provide the ability to brew a consistent product. The intent of this system is to work as a pilot system to prove out a formula and deliver samples for my...

Hey All, Not sure where to post this so I can move it if necessary. I will be taking the IBD General Certificate in Brewing exam in a few weeks. I've been studying the material that they provided as a study guide as well as a variety of other suggested things, but am curious if anyone...

So I have an itch to buy a Brew-Magic, but there are two things stopping me. One is the cost and the other is the size. I am looking at the alternative to build something that would do a barrel at a time and have seen that some folks use 55 gal SS drums. If you have gone this route or helped...

Does anyone have any experience with it? I have been thinking about it, but it's not cheap. I had already bought a 30 plate chiller before I found out about the chill wizard. The ad's suggested I could gravity feed the plate chiller. Not recommended to try friends. Need a pump plain and...

I just finished my small walk in cooler. The intent was to be able to control the fermentation temps as needed. I have a smaller home without AC and no basement. Since I have a decent sized entry way, I built a 5 x 3 1/2 x 8 cooler in it. I figured that since the total area is so small, I could...

I finally decided to join up. I've been brewing on and off for over 16 years and have turned it up 3-4 notches in the last year or so. I have visions of a microbrewery in my future (like many do for some reason) and am interested in starting a homebrew club in the Muskegon, MI area. I can...
