Decided to lift up my SQ14 burner, so I welded some legs to it. Turned out so good I might try selling this setup someday. I used 3/16 x 2 angle, probably could go with lighter steel next time but the 2" looks good so maybe just a little thinner gauge. This thing is heavy duty, you could set...

Anyone else have trouble with the CHI Company? I had to call 3 times to get my order correct and still they haven't shipped one of my items. 3 shipments later they still have missed one item in my order. NO response to any of my emails. They must be going down hill with customer service..

What 3/16" beer line can I buy that doesn't leave that nasty hose taste if I don't pull a pint everyday?

Is there an app that will allow me to view a Beersmith brewsheet on my android? I looked at Brewzor and didn't see any way to view a brewsheet, even emailed the creator and no response.

I finally got around to using this little attachment for bottling. If fits good into the Perlick faucets and I thought it would be easy to use. But when I tried to fill the first bottle I had beer everywhere, the walls, the keezer, the floor, me.. I have about 12 psi on the keg I was...

I thought I would experiment with my beer line lengths the other day. I use 3/16" id tubing and have been using 10' lengths. I put my second keg in my new keezer on tap and the pour seemed slow, so I cut it down to 8' and I get a half glass of foam on the first pour. I started reading about...

I have a Kenmore 8.8 freezer to turn into a fermentation chamber using a Love TSS2 controller. For those of you that use this controller for fermentation, where to you place the temperature probe? Leave it in the air, or stuck to a carboy, or? What do you do and how does it work out with...

Have you personally ever had the neck break off a carboy using one of those handles that clamps around a carboy neck? I'm not talking about breaking it because of impact or dropping. Just carrying it full with the handle and having it break the neck. I have never had the neck break off, but...

Got down to -18f last night and it's 7 degrees right now, so I'm not going out to that cold shop and brew today. Guess I'll just decant my yeast starter and pour it all into a jar for some other time. I was really looking forward to a nice brew Saturday, bummer.

I have had a few requests for instructions on how to make the manifold for my Rubbermaid cooler from Home Depot, so here you go. This type of manifold has been shown here before so I can't take credit for the original design. This works really good for me, never have had a stuck sparge with...

I thought it would never happen to me but the last batch has my stir bar in it. Have you ever pitched your stir bar into the primary? I usually get the magnet out and keep hold of the little dude but this time I got distracted.

Wyeast 1968 on stir plate 10 hours in.

Today I went and bought the grain for 5 gallon recipe. My brew shop noticed the grain bill was bigger than expected for 5 gallons. So when I got home I did some checking and found that the recipe is for a 6 gallon batch. All my grain is mixed together and is enough for 6 gallons, so scaling...

How do they get it boiling like that?

Well this is my first yeast wash and I think it turned out good. This is Wyeast Pacman. What do you think? So I just warm one of these up, decant some of the liquid, and pitch this in my flask with correct amount of DME and on to the stir plate? This is enough yeast to do a 1 to 2 liter...

I decided the all thread bolted version of hop spiders I've seen wasn't for me. So I picked up a few things at Lowes and built my version. Gas welded the 1/4" rod together and made the ring by bending it cold around a large socket I had in my tool box. Haven't used it yet but I think it's...
