If both were the same price, which would you choose and why. The false bottom doesn't cause temp change. Would it let more pellet dust through unless I went all out on jaybirds level 3 setup? It would help with hot break as well. But the hop spider is lighter and I would assume easier to clean...

I was in an interview recently and all was going great. after we got through all the technical jargon, we got to hobbies. Of course I explained how much I love the techical aspect of being a HBer. all the DIY, water chem, etc and that turned my interview into a half hour Q and A on how I can...

Has anyone ever been shipped a barley crusher, opened the box and saw this? I will contact the seller again (sigh) and see if they can replace this. I can only assume with all of the pitting on the peaks of the crappy knurl will be like starting with brand new worn out rollers, that will...

Treat this as a poll (from someone who does not know how to properly set one up) Which type of fermentationist are you? a) keep the beer in primary for a month and let those happy yeasts clean up after themselves or b) the beer has hit final gravity after 6 days, let it sit for 2 more and...

I am prepping for a munich dunkel so I am using the munich boiled recommendations from the spreadsheet. In order to prepare for my first lager and first water adjustment I am trying to apply this chemistry to a dunkelweizen and a hefe. could I use this half distilled with the additions as...

Specifically this is towards my lager step starter. I need to prop a ton of yeast for my 10 gallon munich dunkel. I have a ferm chamber that I am thinking about using for my yeast starter at pitching temp, which will be approx 47*F. Common procedure is to keep yeast starters at room temp to...

Concerning the ratio of a step starter, reading Jamils page makes me feel like I have the wrong approach. Using his calculator I have been pluging in the values of OG and volume of 5.5 gallons, viability from date, stir plate, and ale yeast and bump up the growth factor until it says one vial...

I batch sparge, and from searching I see that a mashout isnt necessarily critical for me to hit. I always try and am low. I tried again yesterday and I am curious about how people talk mashout "preserves" sugar profile. say I mashed at 152 for however long, over an hour, when I went to do a mash...

Just rebrewed my torpedo clone (again) and although its better than the last it isnt half as great as the first one I brewed. 1) brewed a 5 gallon batch with simple shake starter, was great and clean and super bitter and hoppy. this was bottle conditioned. a year later, 2) rebrew on a 10...

I have searched the forums on this for a few days and havent dug anything up so its time to make an official question. More beer has released their high flow march pump assembly with a tee with a ball valve on the inlet side and a ball valve on the output. [sad thing is I was waiting for this...

a few months back I made a (random what is laying around) pale ale with 2 row and a touch of caramel 60. This was my first and only extremely sloppy brew day. I was careless and dumped water in at a high enough temp that I waited 5 min and temp was around 180F. I kept stirring and waiting...

hope general beer discussion is the right place, for a year or so I am always at work scanning through pages, turns out I had off today on a wed. to myself I came up with a plan till feb, coined it myself, called brewdays. I am a day late. srsly, dont steal my phrase till I get it into...

thought about adding priming sugar to my bk is this a horrible idea? im going to force carb with my new co2 tank and kegerator setup, (soon to post build.) it would only boost abv right? or would it prioritize the yeast to do something wacky like prioritizing certan sugars to consume

I am setting up my 90% complete kegorator that I have worked on for 8 nights straight now (will upload pics soon) and need to know this for the height to cut my cheapo built pvc tower and drip tray. measuring perpendicular from the tower to the bottom most tip of the nozzle. what is the length...
