    Blow off tube best practices

    You should use a tube large enough to carry the foam/hops without clogging. You should use a container capable of holding all the FOAM that may come out of the fermenter (generally 1/2 -1 gal) for a 5-10 gal batch. After all, we have a really active ferment too vigorous for a regular airlock...

    Old School Cider

    Back when we were juvenile delinqu ....I mean young bucks, we'd go to the farm stand down the street in the fall and buy gallon jugs of fresh cider, and then hide it out in the woods. We didn't know nothin about fermentation, or carbonation, but what we did know was that after about 2 weeks it...

    No, not the Massachusetts brewery, the house in the tree! I'm sure there a lot of them. Only stands to reason since there's so many DIYers here. So Lets see 'em .

    Outdoor Fermentation chamber

    Hey Yall, Brewing in the south, you really need to have something to be able to ferment in the summer. Everything I've used has had some sort of drawback , but I have high confidence with my latest solution. Basically, it's an outdoor fermentation chamber that uses a small 5K BTU LG...

    Powered cereal killer

    Hey Y'all, A lot of us probably grind our grain bill by attaching a drill and holding the trigger until it's all done. I thought I'd share an experiment I tried recently that worked at really well. Many of us probably own a cordless drill that no longer holds a charge and is only good for...

    Two year old Cascade

    Hey Y'all, I have a two year old cascade that has yet to produce a single cone. My other two hop bines (Columbus and Centennial) have produced hops first and second year, and the cascade hasn't produced anything, even though it's the biggest bine of the bunch. It's hard to imagine I got a...

    Immersion coil for fermenter chilling

    Hey Y'all, I've been toying with the idea of a new way to control the temp of my fermenter in the summer . I use a Blichmann fermenator (14.5 g) and the plan is to buy another one of the oval hatch-doors for the lid, and insert a stainless tubing coil into the wort. I plan on buying...

    Giving it a go

    I pulled the trigger on some rhizomes and then built this to let 'em climb. Cascade, Centennial and Columbus (I hope) :) SWMBO took 1 look at it and said "you're not gonna hang somebody on that , are ya?" LMAO

    eRIMS system , I think it's finished

    I've been brewing with this since August, but keep making adjustments, and have it pretty much where I want it ...One last thing I'll be adding in the next week will be one additional pump for pumping hot wort to the plate chiller. If I had the room, I'd prefer a single tier, but it's hard...

    First run on my 10 gal RIMS outfit

    I gotta admit that a couple days ago I was a little apprehensive about doing a 10 gallon batch on my first run with my new RIMS outfit .... big volumes, new equipment, etc., but it turned out there was nothin to worry about ...everything worked pretty well in spite of the fact that I brewed a 10...
