Updated Monday AM. The below description reflects what is still available. Thanks guys for helping me clean out the basement! Hi guys, I have a number of items from my homebrewing setup that I'm looking to part ways with. I'm located in Derry - pretty close to the MA border. Cash only and...

I had been using Rooftopbrewing brewhouse efficiency calculator in the past and really liked it, but it seems to have disappeared from the site. Are there any online calculators that you guys like to use for this? I've tried a few others and none of the ones I found weren't as easy to use as...

Hi all - I'm looking for a sanity check here on what I'm doing to determine my efficiency. My process right now is this: 1.) Mash and sparge. Upon completion of sparge, gently stir the wort and take a sample from the brewpot. 2.) Reduce sample temperature to somewhere in the 80* area (my...

Hi all, Question for you - I recently did a Breakfast Stout clone from BYO mag and missed my numbers by a fair amount. 6 gallon batch and my biggest grain bill by far. Using my cooler MLT I was able to fit all of the below in with about 1" of space between the top of the mash and the lid...

So I got back from my men's league hockey game...the area where I dry out my equipment is close to where I store my HB supplies. I went to grab my spray bottle of Febreeze to make the equipment stink less before laying it out in front of the fan. When done I realize that the spray bottle I...

Hey guys, I did my third AG this weekend (5 gallon clone of Pliny the Elder) - with my last AG batch I got 72% efficiency but this time around I ended up with 59% (using the same crush settings on my mill). My target mash temp was 151* - using Beersmith I used 18.3 qt of 165* strike water...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a bit of guidance here - this past weekend I did brew #5 (Two Hearted clone, AIPA) which was the first time I used my cooler MLT (Coleman 52QT Xtreme.) I preheated the mash tun @ 175* for 30 minutes before adding my strike water. Ambient temp was 45*. So was...

Hey guys - I'm going to be trying out my first non-BIAB all grain brew tomorrow - does this crush look OK or do you think it needs more/less mangling? Edit - better pic below Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm doing my first AG using BIAB. I used 7.8 gallons of strike water and mashed #15 for an hour. This is for a 5 gallon recipe calling for a 60 minute boil. After pulling the bag I squeezed 1+ gallons out of the spent grains - so now I have 7 gallons of wort, pre-boil. How...

Hi guys, I'm planning my first BIAB (4th overall batch) and have some concerns about the size of my grain bill and the both the capacity of my brew kettle (10 gal) and the ability to extract wort from such a big bag of grains. This is for a 5 gallon batch of a Ruination clone. My grain...

Hey guys... First off, this place rules...I referred so many times to this place during my first batch that searches found answers to every one of my many first timer questions.....so thanks! So my question...with my current (second) batch I noticed that airlock activity stopped on day four...
