I've been using WY2206 as my house lager yeast for ages, but looking to make a change. I've picked up a package of Imperial L09 (Que Bueno), which crosses to WLP 940 Mexican Lager. I'm planning to ferment in a keg, but was debating on whether to go temperature controlled 50 degF primary, then...

For sale - $85 This is a Budweiser branded kettle, but appears to be an 82 quart (20.5 gallon) Bayou Classic kettle with steam basket. NEVER used. I promise that despite the graphics it will make good beer. I had grand plans to turn this into a 240V electric brewing vessel, but my enthusiasm...

I got inspired a while back by a great article here on HomebrewTalk that broke down by BJCP beer style, the appropriate water profile. I was quite happy that Beersmith3 had updated water profile tools. First is that you could match a target water profile. Second is that those water additions...

At some point in your brewing career you are going to become interested in taking your water chemistry to the next level. As part of that, you might come to the realization that you want to improve the quality of your water and stop using the water from a garden hose or you might want to cut...

I had seen every opinion on temperature probe location and had a feeling on the most accurate, but I took on the task of creating an experiment to put some quantitative values on the sensitivity on a few different methods. Short summary of beer temp within target: 1. Probe in beer (right on) 2...

With my purchase of the Brewer's Edge Mash and Boil in the Spring, I knew I'd want to create another insulation jacket, but I also decided to test various methods to see what was most effective. There are plenty of configurations I've seen here and elsewhere. After my first post (part I)...

I'm looking at making a last minute addition of a hard cider to a party we are holding in 6 weeks. I've never done cider before, so I'm looking for an easy/solid crowdpleaser. Our local orchards won't have fresh cider for a few weeks and neither will my LHBS, so I'm looking at using some...

I just picked up a new Brewer's Edge Mash & Boil (No, I haven't actually brewed with it yet), but since I knew I'd need some form of insulation, I experimented with a few different kinds of insulation. Even though I used the Brewer's Edge as the test bed, the results should apply to any mash...

In honor of the long awaited release of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens I’m showcasing my Darth Vader Tap Handle. No spoilers exist in this post, nor in my blog post! Please don't add any here either. I basically 3D printed the Darth Vader bust (with a 1/4" hole) then drilled a...

Price: $55 + shipping (local pickup in the Indy area ok) I've upgraded to 62 quart kettles for my brewing and I'm selling the old ones. Yes it used, but cleaned after every brew session and in great shape. This kettle with the steamer basket is perfect for BIAB. The basket sits about 3.25"...

I recently made some 3D printed Kombucha tap handles base on my experience making my WBHY tap handle. I think they turned out well. The logo provided to me came out really well and the orange on the green tea leaf really looked good in my opinion. I made a standard version and then for...

If any of you subscribe to BYO, you might have seen one of my DIY's in the March/April 2015 BYO Homebrew Hacks Issue. I'm basically using food safe bag liners for my fermentations. Cleanup has never been so easy! I've got a few option for bags through Uline, Amazon and Trashbagdepot on my...

I keep my smaller fermentation chambers (aka converted dorm fridges) in the basement and with the winter we've been having, it's a cool 60 degF. Needing warmer temps for my ale fermentations, I had to whip up a heater. Dorm fridge = not much space available, so here is what I came up with...

Now that I've gotten quite a few 3D printed tap handles done, the ideas kept coming, so I made some 3D printed Hop Cone Christmas Light Covers. I started with the hop model I made for the tap handles, then hollowed it out and through a few iterations, I got the proper internal tabs to slide...

Here is my first attempt at a 3D printed tap handle. It held up for our party, but I think I can improve a little on the mechanical strength side of things. I've already got a v2 printing the logo into the handle as one piece, I just don't have pics yet. Edited here for link to full post...
