Here is my wardlabs report. I am on a well in Iowa and do have a water quality system that I don't know much about. pH 7.4 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est, ppm 420 Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 0.70 Cations / Anions, me/L 7.8...

I'm currently building out my basement that will have a 4 faucet tower on the bar counter with a chest freezer from behind the wall feeding it. Lines will be glycol chilled. I'm looking at a tower that has stainless steel lines in it, guessing about 5 feet, and I like the concept of ss lines...

I need help figuring out how to balance my kegging system. I currently have a keezer kept around 35 F. I keep the PSI around 10 right now. I have about 5' of 3/16 ID beer line that feeds into a glycol cooled trunk which is 5/16" ID. There is 14' of that going through a wall and changing again to...

I had to give up home brewing for a little over a year and have become rusty. I took my keeper build and using it to store commercial kegs and running a trunk line I bought from beverage factory that is insulated with glycol line. Im struggling a little bit with warm beer and a bit of foaming...

Found this on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lab-Chiller-Fryka-GmbH-Koelunit-3364-005-/390952447571? It holds 1 gallon of glycol, can go from -10 to 40 C temperature range. I need to look into a glycol chiller for my trunk line of about 12'. I would be willing to spend the dough on this...

I'm currently in the process of mashing a witbier and plan to brew again this weekend an american lager. My grain bill is about 50/50 wheat/pils malts. OG will be 1.051. Am I ok taking some of the wort from the boil kettle and putting it in the starter and pitching the lager yeast in it to...

As usual winter time means I start brewing again as my travel schedule starts to settle down. Earlier this year I bought a plastic 35 gallon conical with the high aspirations of actually using it and making two batches together. That has become a fantasy and I really need to just get rid of it...

I built myself a keg/carboy washer with the plastic spray ball from McMaster and got a pump that really get's the spray ball moving. I typically would put about 5-6" of hot water in my big sink in the brewery add sun oxiclean and leave it running for 30 min if not longer. I've just started to...

I’ve continued to try to figure out a ‘house’ flavor in some of my lighter beers and I continue to try to put more information together for this mystery taste that isn’t unpleasant and not noticeable in darker/heavier beers. The taste is hard to define, I don’t...

Over the weekend I purchased a Toro 30" Timemaster push mower which has great reviews, however, I keep going back and forth about getting a riding mower. My property is a little over half an acre, mostly flat and open but with some trees. I just moved into the house last fall and the previous...

I am going to be selling my Epson 8500UB projector with ceiling mount on ebay shortly here and I also have a 100" fixed screen with a black border and was wondering if people think I should throw it in on the listing as well? I don't know the gain on the screen, if I don't include it. I could...

Thought I would share the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QU1UEE/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I just bought a set for myself since I have amazon prime shipping and got it. They are 5 oz glasses and just the perfect size in my opinion! And great price.

This is a continuation of this thread I started: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/struggling-pentainedione-395469/ After doing more testing, I can conclude this is not a fermentation issue. I have done a test batch with three different yeast strains (in brand new 2 gallon buckets), with...

For my understanding Pentainedione is a bi-product of fermentation just like diacetyl, and are somewhat similar. Any light beer or ale I make seems to suffer from this. It's not a bad buttery sweetness (may be desirable in certain styles). I noticed from my very first extract batch from 3...

I've been scouting my local craigslist for months now without seeing anything come up for awhile. ebay has a variety of options, best I've seen shipped is a pair for $48 each. This listing...

I started using brewersfriend.com and started inventorying items that I have, and realized I have lots of hops from about 8-9 months ago that I really need to either use or get to someone who would use them. They are all whole leaf hops and not sure what's a fair price, maybe $1 an oz on Citra...

So, I have been on a cleaning rampage because of some off flavors that I think are being imparted on equipment in different stages. I see this as a cleaning cycle to do maybe every 5-6 batches? I plan to take a part all of my corny kegs and conduct the following: Replace all o-rings. Soak...

I'm trying to brew a Munich Dunkel and match the water profile. I have in the link to the spreadsheet my city's water report and where I have gotten with the calculations. This is using my recipe I'm trying to use as well as the water volumes. The more I increase chalk, the higher the pH goes...

Thought I would share my build. I don't have any pictures of it, just this video I took that shows everything: http://youtu.be/PBtEEMPhd9g I'll give a brief parts list of the things besides the PVC since that is a build to suit your needs type of idea. 3/5 Pump from Harbor Freight. The box...
