    Ohio Homebrewing two tier stand $400 Obo (Local pickup only)

    For sale is a two tier homebrewing stand. I brewed roughly 100-5 gallon batches (probably many more) with this system and it works great, I no longer have the time or frankly the room for homebrewing and have been selling off all my gear. This is the last to go. It includes. . . *2- 10...

    Seriously the easiest DIY ever for bottling bucket dip tube

    I used the same but went with normal non threaded pipe, then I used a threaded street adapter screwed to the spigot to connect the 90 to. I was concerned about the threads holding nasties.

    Firefly fans? I want to make Mudders Milk

    Yeah Mudders Milk is the name I have been using for my oatmeal mocha stout for a few years. Such a great name for a thick tasty beer. Incidentally I use Firefly related names for probably 75% of my recipes.

    Fermenting bucket w/ or w/o airlock?

    Wow that is some crap information from a LHBS. Go get a 6.5 bung and an airlock then use a 1.25 hole saw and cut yourself a hole. Just hit the lid and have a piece of aluminum with some star san,pop the lid and cover the bucket with the foil. Or do what suorangeguy advised and go for the small...

    first wort hopping

    FWH seems to be one of those brewing ideas that some swear by while others scoff at; I tried it a half dozen times and tasted zero difference and sensed no added aromas. I am not going to say it is a myth or anything but I have not seen any added benefit. Frankly to get a real opinion you'd need...

    Blichmann 20 gallon Kettle

    I bought mine in 2008 and it did not have the plate. The picture of the girls in the pots is at least that old.

    Not mine but DIY worthy....

    So I figured I would revive this thread. This spring I was able to spend a couple of weeks in Germany and Poland visiting family. I was able to do a brewing session with my father in law on his new and improved system. It is beyond sweet. Steam fired all automated and pretty much closed...

    pressure fermentation

    Yeah I am a strong believer in pressure fermentation after seeing my father in laws set up. He started using cornys for smaller and split batches and uses some custom made stainless spunding valves; he sets his at 1bar (14.5 psi). He brought me a sweet stainless spunding valve that is compatible...

    Insulating an Igloo Cooler

    It is black insulation tape. In regards to dead space, you could also use a piece of doubled reflectex cut to just fit inside your MLT and set on top of the mash.

    Cooling wort , my idea

    I would never use a trash bag, even if it was some crazy lab grade one. However your technique us sound, and adding some kind of cooling factors to the wort it self works very well. What I would do is go buy 3 or 4 Nalgene bottles and use those. Fill them 3/4 of the way with water, cap them...

    Better Bottle Blow-off Bullcrap!

    I use a red rubber carboy cap. I have never had an issue with a blow off, and the biggest problem is you can only put a 3/8 or so hose in it. http://www.homebrewit.com/wine-making-better-bottle.php Towards the bottom of the page. It fits over the neck of the bottle.
