    District of Columbia Greenlee Punches

    Looking to sell my Greenlee hole punches used to make a Kal-clone style electric brewery. Only used them for the build, they're in great shape. They go for around $200 (with shipping) on Amazon together. Asking $160 (I'll ship) or $150 if you can pick up. To be clear, they are the sizes...

    Wacky Amp meter

    Hey guys. I've finished my Kal Clone (THANKS, KAL!!!), and it's working great... except for the amp meter. It is absolutely 100% wired correctly (it's not complicated), so i think it's a problem with the meter. I've rewired it several times, and have gotten the same result. The meter flashes...

    Ball valve install nipple trouble

    Hey guys. Love you. I'm building a Kal-clone electric brewery, and like any other HERMS system, there are a bunch of ball valves to install in the kettles. Here's my issue. I got 1/2" close nipples, and I think they may be of sub-par quality. Shouldn't you be able to thread a lock nut all the...

    District of Columbia 20-Gallon Blichmann Boilermaker

    Selling a 20-Gallon Blichmann Boilermaker with 1/2" barb. I have used this kettle exactly 9 times, and decided to just go to 10 gallon batches. As you can see, the condition is absolutely like new. There are some black spots in the pictures, but they are from the lens of my iPhone (notice...

    5 or 10G batches?

    Hey guys. I'm about to start building an electric system and really can't decide on three 20G blichmann kettles or three 10g ones. As it is now I have one of each and do about 75% 5-gallon batches and 25% 10-gallon. The flexibility to do this isn't insanely important to me but it would be nice...

    Ventilation

    Hi guys, i've enjoyed reading SO many threads in this forum, and they've been very helpful in my plans for an indoor electric brewery. I'm doing a sort of "official" proposal to my wife in a week or so. Showing her what would change, what I would need to install, what it would look like...

    Ventilation

    Hey guys. I'm going to make the upgrade to electric/indoor brewing over the next year or so. You guys have all been a great resource (of course)! As many of you have probably experienced, I'm planning my brewery in the basement, near the washer/dryer. Which means I already have 4" ducting...

    Therminator problems!

    So pissed. So, when I turn the flow on, it won't go through the therminator. The valve is not clogged. I have used this therminator for about 6 months and have never had a problem (except once, when I forgot to tighten a connection and flow was interrupted bc air was getting in). I finally...

    mash pH much lower than expected

    Hi guys. I've been using 5.2 in all of my beers with great results for about 2 years, but I really want to get into adjusting my water by myself. That said, i'm having strange results. Using Palmer's chart in the back of how to brew, my estimate is a pH of 5.75 at room temp (5.45 at mash...

    Fermentation Chamber Build #5,000!

    I've been brewing on-and-off for the past 7 years, and continuously for the past 4. Every beer i've made has fermented in my utility room, which is partially underground. Unfortunately, this room also houses my washer/dryer, which means that the temperature can fluctuate a bit. A bucket of...

    Calcium

    I'm studying my water quality report, and am confused about one thing. Until now I've been using pH 5.2 buffer, but I'd like to take the next step. I started using the 5.2 because when I mix my water with the grist of a pale beer, the pH would be quite low (4.9 or so). I'm willing to take the...

    Carbonation of a big beer

    Hi guys, I'm a reasonably experience homebrewer (200 gallons lifetime maybe) and I've not done too many big beers. I've got a beer I bottled on oct. 1, 2011 that had an OG of 1.088 an an FG of 1.010. I used a 2nd generation batch of wyeast London ale III, with a 3L starter. I am drinking one...

    nasty yeast starter

    I've made quite a few starters before, and am a moderately advanced brewer. I've washed yeast only a couple of times, though, both with success. This time, i washed Wyeast 1028 london ale from a 1.051 pale ale, and I'm planning on using it (today) for a 3 gallon batch of a 1.088 OG english old...

    water volume

    I've done 5 all-grain batches and everything is going perfectly well (especially the beer!) except for one thing - VOLUME. I seem to be having a really hard time calculating anything. My first brew was fine, and I calculated about a 25% boiloff rate. Then, my second brew I used the same info...
