So been out of the homebrew game for years, probably since Covid started. No real reason, I just didnt want to do it anymore at the time. Still have a 3 vessel 5500W EHERM's im cleaning up and rebuilding and I got a few questions hoping people can catch me up on. Need updated SS pump heads...

So i have one of the 17 Gallon Ace Rotomold fermenters, works great for my 10(really 12) gallon batches except that even with a large jar on the output i end up with a ton of yeast and stuff at the bottom of the cone and as those that have one know it tends to stick to the walls. Many people...

So i have a question, i have about 7 gallons of plum wine across two 3G carboys and a 1G jug. So i put the remaining about 1/2 gallon into another gallon jug with some campden. I was planning on using it to top up any of the other containers as i rack them. Is this a bad idea? Should i...

So, new house has a giant above ground planter box (22'L x 2'W x 3.5'H) on a cement slab that i am rebuilding because it was rotting and they couldnt tell me which variety the existing hop plants were. Im wondering though if i really need to make it as tall (3.5') as they had it for planting...

The report i got the water guy to give me shows Nitrate as N with a value of .276 mg/L If Bru'N Water wants it as NO2 what do i put into the spreadsheet?

Figured i could start my build thread here, as i find it usually keeps me moving on my builds so i dont keep dilly dallying around and get it done! You can see the spreadsheet i put together here, which contains all the parts i figured i would need and where they go as well as the best...

I was planning on following this guys tutorial, as he seems to know what hes doing. Maybe with the addition of some Brasso at some point? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOmUran35dE Any other tips you guys have picked up? I bought a SS table off Clist thats in pretty good condition, only...

So i was planning on drilling out all my holes, but honestly drilling out like 9 or 10 holes in my pots sounds exausting and i'd rather just buy a punch and then resell it after.. If the couplers are going to be welded flush with the outside of the pot, do i just need a punch that makes 1/2"...

So got my new house with a nice big 2 car garage and im scoping out possible locations for my 3 vessel setup i will be building but have some questions about the location.. The side and location im looking at i can put a box fan up on some shelves they have up high to keep the moisture off the...

So a quick question, i am looking at Kals brewery HLT input and he has a elbow + compression fitting + ss tube which is like $20 in parts for that alone. Am i missing something, but why couldnt you just buy something like http://www.brewhardware.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DiptubePots...

So i am looking at getting a false bottom for my MLT, problem is im in transition moving so i havent bothered to order my pots until recently and i am getting them the day after Jaybird's 20% off sale ends. This is the pot i bought...

Here's a spreadsheet to build up a 3 vessel system that will have all welded fittings, can anyone see any glaring omissions other than pumps and hose I'll figure out after I have it build for lengths...

Figured I'd ask here, while moving our stuff had to go into storage including my 4 corny kegs with beer that are pressurized to 10psi or so. I realized it's getting warm here in the 90s now, I shouldn't need to worry about them exploding should I? I mean they are rated for a lot higher pressure...

So this topic kind of fits in two forums but figured here was better. I'm looking at building a 3 vessel bcs system, I will be brewing mostly 5 gallon batches but also the occasional 10. Because 15 isn't enough , I think, for all the strike water you'd need and cuts it close on bk I looked at...

So i getting a new house hopefully in the next few months so ill have a lot more room to set up an electric setup but im confused about how a 2 vessel system works. So you have a Boil vessel and a mashing vessel. You get your mash water to 165 or whatever in your mash tun, mash in and let...

So this may be a stupid question, but i am a bit confused how you guys are flavoring your meads and storing them in 1G jugs. Are you fermenting in 2-3G carboys/buckets, throwing fruit in and then putting it in 1G jugs? Using artificial flavoring and just fermenting in 1G jugs? Coming from the...

So, long story short while brewing Yoopers Oktoberfest recipe from here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f59/marzen-oktoberfest-37476/ It ended up being one of "those" brew days where nothing just seems to go right. For some reason i decided swap up too many variables at once, tried using...

So i've only used my keggle twice, but i have found that when i am using my IC and whirlpooling that i get down to 150F or so and it starts to stagnate, it drops but much much slower. I am using the keggle on a SP10 Bayou Burner with a grill grate on it, and found i believe the problem is...

So finally got my corona mill up and runnning i got from Christmas...played with a few # of grain on the setting and i think i got it pretty good, the first few attempts at what i tested to credit card width(put one in and went until it closed) resulted in what i considered way too much flour...

So basically I am looking at doing something similar to what they do on the Jamil show podcast on a somewhat regular basis. For those not familiar... Get some of my friends who drink beer over and may be very ignorant to other styles they may like so they just stick with what they know(IPA)...
