Also, my brother is for hire and extremely meticulous! Should you like the post enough respond to the thread with WANT as the title. I'll give you a connection to him and his portfolio and he can give you an estimate on materials, manufacturing, and shipping of your custom faucet handles! They...

Ever wished you could make better faucet handles than those boring conical plastic ones? You could buy really expensive commercial taps that don't portray your homebrew... Or you could find someone with a BA blacksmith brother to manufacture custom faucet handles for you. Built these with my bro...

Agreed! This "foamy head" as you're calling it is known as a kreusen and is caused by the process of fermentation and the production of carbon dioxide from the yeast. The kreusen will naturally drop out after another week or so. Attempting to "de-foam" the kreusen is just exposing your beer to...

Perfect!!! Such a quick fix... Working perfectly now. Thanks for the quick tip. If any others are reading this thread with similar problems it is important to note that you should only break the lead on the positive side of the outlet; otherwise you completely break the circuit and will have...

Built my STC-1000 around 6 months ago, sometimes it seems to work flawlessly while other times it works the opposite of what it should be doing. I have checked my wiring 3 times minimum and I'm 100% it is correct. So the problem I am experiencing is: When it is either supposed to be turning on...

Congrats on partial success; especially using a range... Sweet stout likely hit higher OG because your mash in/ or rather extract in temp was a little high (gave you more fermentable sugars in your wort). That's okay if you had a healthy yeast pitch (it will just yield a higher ABV)... But if...

Beautiful weather in the low 70s in GA today. Free roam field, a 22 of homebrew and my baby. Live it up ;)

Lol... Fruitless discussion :killpost:

Ahh and the boil actually became 3 oz east kent goldings And the yeast became 1 oz wyeast 1084 Irish ale yeast in my starter yesterday :) Oops haven't changed the original write up

No kids thank goodness... about 5 dogs in the back yard at any moment but through about 20 brews never had an issue ( it's a stable table especially with 100lbs of strike water in the HLT)

All set up for a 10gal all grain porter brew tomorrow. Just got the banjo burner over the holidays so super pumped to try it out! Now I just need to clean my fermenters and sanny all the post boil equipment. Also have to go get my 2nd empty propane tank exchanged. Don't want to run out of gas...

Nice

The effects on the beer would be poor down the toilet... Read the whole post! Making certain your comment doesn't waste someone's time and money.

This should be interesting ;) "Yeah, let's say half the bottle undiluted ;) Also, make sure you add it after the yeast pitch!" Hahahahahahahahahaha

No real need to move to secondary unless you are going for other fermentables with a secondary yeast pitch. All of my brews just stay in primary over the full fermentation period.

Also, y'all are attempting 3- 5 gallon kits all at once first brew day ever? Ambitious! Do you have multiple burners or are you attempting to do this on a range (going to be pressed for space with 5 gallon batches)??? Or are you planning one after another? This is going to be one long day if...

Yes use an airlock. Doesn't really matter if it has a spigot although I have never fermented in one with a spigot. Just don't accidentally turn it on during fermentation. Technically the buckets with the spigots are for your bottling.

Bam! And self delivered a week ago (expansion baby!!!)
