    I hate my march pumps, need alternative or fix for my current setup.

    I have the 815 March pumps and with the poly head, been using them lil over a year now and I hate them. I don't know if these are the HF options or not, but they just don't work well. Part of the problem I'm sure is the 1/4 intake out of my boil kettle, but still they just don't perform well...

    Stouts - Bottle priming vs kegged on beer gas

    No question that my stouts taste a 1000% better on beer gas, but what is it that i'm detecting in the same beer that's bottle primed. The taste is completely different. The kegged version is creamy and the flavors are pronounced; it's amazing. The bottle primed version is subdued and hidden...

    Do I really need Nitrogen?

    I've just spent a load of money of Nitrogen equipment only to find out I can't get it here.... is it worth driving 5 hours round trip to get it every other month?

    Can't find beer gas, can it be blended at home?

    I live in WV... apparently, a place devoid of anything modern or efficient. I've searched all day and it looks like my only option to fill my nitrogen tank is to ship it to PA which will require me driving it there or a 5 wk trip via my local gas supplier (whom apparently only supplies CO2 and...

    Inline filters for the Therminator

    Any suggestions for filtering out the whole hops that make it through the false bottom or Hop Blocker before they get into the Therminator? Or should I just dump this thing and go with something more user friendly?

    Lawnmower Question

    I have two riding Lawn Mowers, both with the same issue. Both died suddenly while I was mowing this week. when I turn the key there is NOTHING. I checked the only fuses I can see and they're good. one is a Husquavarna, the other a 1982 Gravely... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Efficiency - Fermentables VS Flavor?

    I've read many times about efficiency and extracting the fermentables from the mash, using protein rests, etc. That's all good, but my question is this.... does that always mean we're extracting the best or most desirable flavors? Is there a way to maximize taste? So, what if I have all the...

    WTF... auto siphon will NOT work

    I'm trying to bottle a batch of beer, it's dry hopped out the wazoo with whole leaf hops (floating free in the carboy) I cannot get the beer out and I've tried 3 auto syphons and even tried turning it on it's side only to achieve upsetting a perfectly happy yeast cake. seriously not a happy guy...

    Want to Bottle - Still Fermenting @ 4 wks??

    I want to bottle my Rye Ale today, but I'm not sure if I can. I used Wyeast Farmhouse Ale 3726 and Fermented for 10 Days @ 90 Deg (I know this seems high), 20 Days at 70 and 2 Days at 65. I moved it upstairs last night and it was shaken a good bit so I let it sit all night. When I took the...

    Pitched a Different Yeast into Secondary

    I didn't like how dry my Brown Ale turned out with the Yorkshire Square Ale Yeast, so I moved it into a secondary, added 3 oz of Molasses and pitched a pack of Safeale US-05. I'm experiementing here... Thoughts anyone?

    Converting the freezer on my freezer/fridge split door

    Is it possible to convert the just freezer portion of my split door fridge to a kegerator? I keep bottles in the fridge section and the freezer is unused. It would be perfect for some kegs or fermenting.

    Can you do a second fermentation?

    I brewed an English Brown Ale 10 days ago and I am very unhappy with the flavor profile of the Yorkshire Square Ale yeast that I used. (either that or I have my first batch of contaminated beer)... Considering my first thought, is it possible to pitch another yeast strain to change the flavor...

    Looking for "Acid Malts"

    I'm looking for Acid Malts... I usually buy from Northern Brewer, but I can't find anything that says Acid Malts. Can I assume that any grain with a low PH is an Acid Malt? That sounds a little too easy to me.

    Wyeast Farmhouse Ale Fermentation period?

    I'm using the Wyeast Farmhouse Ale for a Belgian Rye... My question is, how long can I expect this to ferment? I have it in a room that's at a constant 90-92 Degs and it's still going pretty strong after 8 days. "pretty strong" meaning there's a constant stream of small gases breaking at the...
