I have some Belgian Corks, cages, and bottles. I do not have a floor corker. I just made a saison and I kegged it because I am lazy and had no time to cork. I also don't have the funds at the moment to invest in the corker. Can I push a few in by hand just to see what difference i get from...

I would love some feedback. I have an ipa in mind that I am trying to create. Lately, I have had many well attenuated beers, while the are excellent and very drinkable I am trying to create a chewy, resinous, ipa. I like Green Flash, Red Racer IPA Canada, and others from the east coast many...

I am interested in feedback from those who have used this hop. I plan on using it as a first bittering addition (60) will the citrus flavor carry thru to the finished wort or will I also need a flavoring addition with it. I plan on using Centenial/Ahtanum as 30 and whirlpool additions. I am...

I have a leftover Ranco ETC1100 from another hobby, it came prewired with a power strip. I just bought a fridge with top freezer on Craigs. I assume I could just plug the whole unit into ranco and drive it that way. However, I would prefer to have the Ranco drive the fridge and have the...

I have been redesigning my brew system. I am looking for ways to speed some things up and tighten up my process. I am going to build a MLT out of 10g Igloo and I want to incorperate a RIMS tube from Brewers Hardware. In addition I was going to make a seperate heatstick to speed up the HLT...

Looking for Blichmann 10g and a march pump

I want to add and electric heating element to my brew kettle for faster boils. I use propane on the stove top and I would prefer to stay inside, but don't want to go full electric. I would like to get a 120v element since I just want to plug into a countertop gfci. Can anyone give me a...

How much wort will leaf hops suck up and whats the best way to deal with it? I want to account for that in my volume calculations. I plan on accounting for efficiency losses as well.

So I am on my fourth all grain batch. Many have turned out very thin and dry after fermentation. I cracked my hyrdro taking a reading on a Tripel IPA I just brewed. The hydro was reading a TG of 1.020 right where it should be, but it had the top snapped off. So I get a new one, a different...

Hope you all can help. I brew 5 g batches in my kitchen and I am very happy with it. I use a 10 g kettle and a 56 qt cooler for mashing. I have a ranco controller left over from some reptiles I used to keep. I use a gas range which has a powerful burner. My goal is to add a 120 v element to...

I have searched the net and everything I find says not to use propane burners indoors. I am confused though. I have a gas furnace, gas dryer, gas water heater, and gas stove. But I am not on a natural gas line, I get LP delivered to my home and have 200g tanks. Why can't I safely use this...

I made a Tripel IPA last night. I was using a new brew kettle with a SS Braid screen and kept getting stuck. So I ended up siphoning off the top and straining the rest. There was lots of hop material and break material that ended up in the fermenter. I normally rack into secondary anyway...

I have this old fan that was used to cool aquarium lights years ago. It works when I direct wire it but if I use a power supply type plug it does not. What am I missing. I tried two different plugs.

So I have some questions after my first All Grain Brew. I am using Beirmuchers SWMBO Slayer recipe. I had no idea what my brewhouse efficiency was so I left it at 75%, but added 1# of DME. I also wanted a higher alcohol % then the original. Here is the grain bill, etc. SWMBO SLAYER...
