Custom barrel that I’ve soured several batches with. Inoculated with an excellent strain of bugs… cultivated from Jolly Pumpkin La Roja. Capacity 15 gallons *I believe*. Might be just short of that. Can use to sour or sanitize it and go in another direction. Comes with chemicals to care for it...

Wayyyy too much stuff to capture in the photos. After a decade or so of brewing and amassing equipment, I've just gotten too busy to brew on a regular basis. I'd keep it, but I feel like its just too nice of a setup to collect dust in my garage... someone should get some use out of it. I...

Hey All! I finally got some time to make a video of my new toy: The Blichmann QuickCarb. The video obviously goes into much more detail, but long story short it's a pretty cool little device. I was able to carbonate a keg in an hour without any shaking or guesswork. I also found that you can...

Got a chance to do something cool today. Brought in over 100 tons of DHL Asia Freight into Cincinnati, nonstop on this Boeing 747-8. The featured cargo was some stainless steel toys for all the girls and boys from our friends at Ss Brew Tech. Cheers from Hong Kong!

Hey guys, I made this video at the request of Great Fermentations last week, and it's mainly directed at owners of the BrewEasy... But I go over some water chemistry and other general tips so I figured it may be useful to others here in this forum. Enjoy...

Hey guys: I made a quick time-lapse video of a brew-day on my new(ish) system. I put this in the Brew Easy thread but I figured non-blichmann folks might get a kick out of it too. Hope some find it helpful or at least entertaining! The boil fogged the lens up a bit during filming, so my...

Okay. So I called up the county and got some numbers on my local water.. And I have a question about calculating Ca and Mg. Here's what I have: Calcium hardness ppm- 64 Sodium ppm- 13-18 Chloride ppm- 18.4 avg, range 13.31-24.1 Sulfate ppm- 98.08 avg, range 79.44-137.14 total alkalinity...

I'm upgrading to larger capacity, so for sale is my trusty setup that I've been brewing great beer on for 4 years. Included is the stainless Hot Liquor Tank with fittings and thermowell thermometer... includes electric burner to heat strike water, a false bottom igloo cooler mash tun...

Hey guys, Just picked up a GDM-12. I also snagged a prewired ETC/Ranco controller, two stage. I'm a dummy when it comes to electrical so I really don't want to tear into this thing... The GDM has a normal receptacle underneath that the compressor plugs into. My plan was to plug the...

I just got thru an entire 20 page thread on the Brewmation system... looks awesome.. only to find out they no longer make it. Is there anything similar being produced today? While brewing a double batch this weekend I realized how lifting pots to the top of my gravity 3-tier system and...

Ever seen anything like this? Low gravity blonde pitched on a Nottingham cake about 48 hour ago. Woke up this morning after no activity yesterday and saw this interesting situation.

Hey all, I'm about to embark on my first sour brew attempt. I'm looking at a possible relocation for my job, so doing a wild fermentation is a but impractical at the moment. Has anyone done a nice sour brown with the sour mash technique? Care to share a recipe and a step by step? I'm...

Preferably the whole setup for a ball lock, but will buy just the gun. Call/email/text/pm! Thanks, Dana 860-208-6565

Hey there, I'm currently building my 3 tier all grain setup and I decided I'm not crazy about having 2 propane burners. Is there a simple electric cooktop that would be sufficient for heating up strike water for 5 gallon batches? I see lots of stuff online but I'd like to go with something...

Hey Guys, I brewed up a schwarzbier for my first lager.... Still pretty new to brewing in general so go easy on me. I made a few mistakes right off the bat, and I'm really hoping I didn't ruin the batch. I used W2007 yeast... Smack pack. Mistake #1 I didn't make a starter. I read the smack...

Hey guys, pretty new to brewing, but reading a lot. I hear people say, I brewed another xxxx and pitched it directly on the cake... What does this mean and how do people do it?? Thanks :)
