So I know we have been pretty much shut out of the normal group buys we did a few times in the past. I am thinking of trying to organize a small group buy for Blackland Malts, out of Leander, TX. This is the only place in the state to buy TX grown, TX malted grain. I know that doesn't matter...

This comes out Saturday, I know people will be going crazy on the ISO/FT threads on the other sites, I am hoping not to get trade raped too horribly. Willing to send a bottle of Atrial and 1-2 bottles of this years Crooked Stave cellar reserve bottles, your choice what bottle(s) you want. Not...

Hey guys, I have posted this on a couple other sites and wanted to make sure I posted here as my favorite trades are always on here. I haven't had FF before and I'm eager to get this trade done. ISO: 2012 or older FF FT: Atrial Rubicite batch 4, Nocturn Chrysalis batch 2 and Pick 2 from...

I am hoping to find someone who would be willing to trade for Tired Hands growler fills on a semi-regular basis. I went to Tired Hands over Christmas and loved everything I had, and hate seeing amazing releases on facebook that I can't try. I am hoping to find someone who would want to try...

I brewed 10 gallons of Berliner Weisse on Saturday. I did the no boil method of mashing, letting it cool to 115-110, and pitching my lactic starter. Plan was to give it 72 hours then pitch some White Labs American Ale, let it ferment 2 weeks and then throw into secondary for aging and souring...

Changed kegging set up, have some spare parts for sale. 3-way co2 manifold/distributor, needs 1 check valve. $25 shipped. Secondary regulator, ready to hook up, worked perfectly for me in my old setup. $35 shipped. Buy them both for $55 shipped.

I have a gently used Blichmann Thrumometer for sale. I am changing to a different thermometer option for my new plate chiller and looking to move this to a new brewer. $24.99 plus shipping seems to be the cheapest selling price out there...

How deep do you plant crowns? I got 3 from great lake hops and they were super healthy and all had lots of shoots coming up from teh mound. I left the top maybe inch of the mound above ground with allt he shoots coming off. The growth has slowed and I am afraid I put them too high. Should I...

I moved houses this past week and had to take a carboy from one place to the other during primary. The beer is a Belgian Wit and had already been going for a week. It should have had a nice co2 blanket on it, but I am just worried about any damage that could have happened from the drive. It...

When I went to transfer my IPA to secondary to dry hop last night I found all these yellow dots on top of the wort. I didn't worry, but after a bit of racking I thought maybe it was because we used leaf hops in the boil? Has anyone seen these yellow spots before, and was it from leaf hops?

5 bottles of co2 have leaked empty in my keezer in the year I have been kegging. The first bottle was an easy fix, had a faulty check valve, found it, replaced it, good to go. Then got a second manifold and regulator, emptied three bottles before I found the faulty check valve on that...

I just bought my first refractometer, after breaking countless hydrometers I decided its time to upgrade. I calibrated with tap water, I know it says to use distilled but I can't imagine tap would throw it off more than a percentage of a brix. When I tested OG it came out pretty accurate...

Dallas, TX- Richardson more specifically. Local Only I have 2 Pin Lock kegs in fine working order, been using them to keg until I just ran upon a great deal for ball locks, and I can fit more of those in my keezer :) I have one set of disconnects, gas and beer, barbed. The kegs have...

I tried searching and couldn't find anything useful, so if there is an article please post the link and you don't have to re-type anything. I had a beer that we force carbed at around 14 PSI at 38 F. We let it sit for a week with the co2 at 14 and it carbed up nice, didn't seem flat at all...

I know the picture is terrible quality, I just couldn't get a good one. This guy is still really small. Its a first year cascade plant, only had one good bine then it died, then late in the season two new ones shot up, made it to about 8 feet tall. There are 2 of these on each little side...

Hey everyone. I know I have read alot taht it is starting to get too late based on daylight cycles for cones to develop, but I just noticed two days ago burrs starting on my 1st year cascade. The plant had a rough go of it and started slow, stalled, then new bines showed up late and are up to...

Well, so far I hadn't really had a batch go wrong, no infections, everything has gone quite smoothly. Yesterday made up for that. I have a brewpartner, and we also had another buddy over as our IPA was ready to drink in the kegerator and he wanted to try it. I had been out of town all...

So my brew partner and I decided to try our hand at the jigsaw and make our own mash paddle. It's far from perfect, in fact part of the S fell out and we haven't decided how to reattach it, but it sanded up nicely, worked well, and looks ok. For a first attempt at using the jigsaw and...

Living in Dallas can be wonderful, but with the summer heat fast approaching, my ground water will be in the 80's. I need a pre-chiller or I won't be able to get my wort to pitching temp despite my nice new 50' IC. If anyone has an extra chiller or a Chinchilla they are willing to part with...
