Hey everyone, I thought that since I've had a brew under my belt with this beast, I should probably share it on here. I've only seen one or two of these on HBT so far, and they were smaller versions with only a few runs. This chiller is about 28" in length not counting the silicone tubing...

Hey everyone, I have been researching this for a while, and am wanting to try to go electric. I currently do 5.5 gallon batches, BIAB on propane. I will most likely stay with BIAB, and will keep my keggle for 5.5gallon batches, but I'm also considering creating a 2-3 gal setup for smaller...

I was browsing the interwebs for ideas to build a sparge arm, and came across these two items. I was wondering if anyone has used something like this (meant for gas use, not liquid) for a sparge arm? They're made of 304SS, the're the right diameter to fit just under a lid, and they're about...

It's my first ever all-grain batch, a Cascade/2-row SMaSH pale ale, brewed on 11/17/2012, so exactly one month ago. I put it in the fridge at 40F Friday night to cold crash, and just transferred it into the keg (through the keg opening, with autosiphon, no splashing). Going by this keg...

So last Sunday morning I finally got to use my new keggle (BIAB) and propane burner for the first time. I decided that for my first few all-grain batches, I'm going to keep things simple. I'm going to do SMaSH recipes to keep the process easy while I'm learning how to do all-grain. Anyways...

I'm looking at getting an outdoor burner. I had pretty much settled on the Williams Brewing Hurricane burner, because of its ability to run off both propane and natural gas. I just found this burner today...

Hey. I'm planning on purchasing one of the Natural Gas convertible Hurricane burners from Williams Brewing. I am going to purchase both the NG and propane valves, so that I can run the burner of of either. I will be ordering a propane regulator/hose combo either from them, or locally. Burner...

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this mini-fridge, specifically taking it apart and removing the heating and cooling lines? I bought this off craigslist to replace a different mini-fridge which burst a cooling line. I am trying to find out if its worth the hassle to tear this...

Yes, I've already done a ton of searching and reading on here about broken refrigerant lines. The general consensus seems to be that its easier to just buy a new minifridge than to try to repair the broken one. My issue is that I managed to break the refrigerant line right before it...

Hey everyone. I'm in the process of building a fermentation chamber. I have it about half done, but I'm going to wait til its finished to post pictures. I'm posting because I want to get some feedback on my wiring diagram, to make sure its going to work like I want it to. I am using a...

I am starting to get more and more serious about homebrewing (2 batches currently bottled, 2 batches in carboys fermenting, ingredients for 2 more waiting to be used). I have picked up a 1/2 keg to turn into a keggle soon, and may pick up another this weekend. I currently have 5 corny ball lock...

Hey everyone, just like the title asks, will hops take over my yard? I finally got my hop posts put in a couple weeks ago (4 posts, each 14 feet tall, with a 4 foot cross piece at the top). I am debating about whether to just plant the hops in the ground, and just keeping my eye out for any...

:D I got the 15gal keg basically for free, I got the 2x 5gal corny kegs with sanke adapters on the left for free, and I got the 5x 5gal ball lock cornies for $20 each... and should be picking up 2 more ball locks this weekend. I got several disconnects for the ball locks included. Just need to...

So I am starting to get more serious about brewing beer. I've got four 2.5gal batches under my belt, and I've got the ingredients for my first two 5gal batches sitting there waiting to be brewed (a hefe and a raspberry wheat). I am starting to collect equipment as I can. Here is what I...

I could start my own brewery with these... too bad I don't have any money :mad:! (original posting) http://louisville.craigslist.org/for/3089210615.html I picked these tanks up at an auction thinking they would be great for someone to do large batches of homebrew beer. A little...

Hey all. I know I'm waaaaaaay late getting started on this, but I'm going to plant some hops this weekend. I've got 8 rhizomes, two each of four varieties, hanging out in the fridge (been there about 6 weeks now, so impatient they've started sprouting runners...), and I need to get them planted...

what can I do with it? I'm a beginning brewer, only done 3, 2.5gal batches so far (doing 2 more this week, plus my first 5gal batch in the next 2 weeks probably). I am not looking to build something like Kal's (zomg that man's hardware makes me drool!), but I was just wondering if there...

Hey everyone. I'm not sure if this is really the right place to put this. But here goes. I am currently talking to several people on CL about different brewing equipment. One of them has a pair of Bayou Classic propane burners for sale with a pair of pots (one stainless, one aluminum), for...

The name etched on the kegs is "Firestone Steel Products B-8 *", and then below that it says "Challenger 'VI' ". These are 5gal kegs. They appear to be either pin-locks or ball-locks that had sanke adapters welded into the tops (see pics). I pulled the rubber off of one of the in/out ports...

Hey guys. Just my second thread ever! Anyways, I started out like a lot of people, with a Mr. Beer Kit. I still have 2 extract kits from them left over from my early buying binge, and one of them I've decided to try some experimenting with. This is for a 2.5g batch. Current ingredients...
