This has been working well for me so i thought I'd share. Just pull the rope back and forth run along each ripple.

I felt like experimenting a few weeks ago and brewed an IPA using the no chill technique. I really wanted to get an idea of the IBU contribution of late hops so the only hops I used where 4 ounces of a mix of CTZ, simcoe, and centennial all thrown in the "cube". I didnt use any kettle hop...

Well, I don't have a garage or basement like some of you luckies out there but I do have a loft in my condo that wasn't really being used for anything meaningful. So... perfect candidate for a brewery. You will see that most of my inspiration comes from theelectricbrewery.com. If you haven't...

I should probably add more picks for illustration but you guys will get the idea. The carboy cap has two connections; one for blowoff, and one for taking a sample. I attached a piece of tubing to the underside of the carboy cap on the sample tubing that extends to the center of the wort. The...

Anyone ever try putting their boil kettle pickup tube on a float so you transfer from the top down instead of solely from the bottom where the trub is?

I have a large stainless steel kettle with a ball valve on the bottom which has a a cylindrical wire mesh screen connecteed to it on the inside of the kettle to filter out the hop pellets and hot/cold break. This method of filtering the trub doesn't seem to be the best way to do it. Has...
