I am moving from Northern Kentucky (Greater Cincinnati) to St Louis in the next couple of weeks and I'm looking for some advice on St. Louis home-brew clubs. The club I am leaving, The Northern Kentucky Homebrewers Guild, has been a wonderful group. Their focus was not on monthly meetings, but...

I did something stoooooopid. It takes a bit of jockeying to get four kegs in my 5.0 cf keezer. I just kegged two batches and when I was moving things around to fit the kegs, I pulled the 1/2 growler of water that the temp sensor is attached to out of the bottom of the keezer and laid it on top...

I currently have a low pressure 6" banjo under my HLT. It does an adequate job getting to strike temp but it sometimes takes awhile. I am in the process of adding some automation to the stand. I am putting a Honeywell V8200 controlled by a PID. Does anyone have any experience of how this...

..... name our "breweries"? I've done and I see that a bunch of folks here and in my local club have given official sounding names to selves. Don't get me wrong, it is serious to me, but funny none the less. Signed, The Proprietor and Head Brew Master of The Tin Cup Brewing Company...

My first all grain batch did not turn out so well for a host of reasons. I learned a ton and won't make those mistakes again. My problem is that I have a keg of beer that while drinkable, doesn't taste very good. Do you guys suck it up and drink it? Dump it? Pawn it off on friends &...

I was really impressed by DiverPat's two tier brew stand from this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/2-tier-brewstand-build-327480/ On Friday I got a call from a buddy who knew I was looking for for some 1.5" 1.5" or 2" x 2" square tube. He told me he had 40' of 2" x 2" and I had...

As the temperature is getting up there, I've begun to put my fermentation bucket in a water bath with a wet towel. My question is that I have a ported BetterBottle with a valve. Any issues with setting this in a tub of water? I guess I'll have to sanitize the heck out of it if I use the valve...

....and it was a lot like my first sexual encounter. It was awkward. I didn't know if I was doing it right. It was exciting. I've watched her ferment for a month and was eager. It was messy. My bottle bucket leaked. There was spilled beer on the floor. I didn't know if I was doing it...

... bending soft copper tubing. Working on a DYI immersion chiller and I keep putting kinks even with the tubing bender. Anyone got any tips? The plan is to use two lengths of 20' 3/8" and tee them together outside the pot.

...store all your stuff? I am new at all this but I've already begun collecting an assortment of funnels, spoons, hoses, tubes, etc...... What can I say, I am a gadget guy. Anyway any good ideas for storing equipment that will keep it all safe, clean and organized?

Hello everyone. I dipped my toes in the water about 18 years ago with two trys to brew something I could drink. Both tries were disasters and after the bottle bombs sent beer and glass all over the garage, I put the kit away. Now 18 years later, I've been bitten by the bug again. I think...
