Hello, up for sale are several items that I have kept as my spare brewing setup. I am re-configuring some things, paying off repiping my house and am limited on space so I need to get these things out of my garage. Everything was stored cleanly, covered in my garage when not in use and owned by...

I have had these gift cards for a while but have decided to go a different direction due to limited finances (my partner and I just had a baby). I was saving up for one of the electric systems but decided I ought to double down on my current setup and just get a few new things vs a full setup...

There are a few guys on (edit: Slack). We chat about homebrew and idle pretty hard. But we love a good chat about brewing and are usually around to help troubleshoot if needed. Come join us - whether you're an advanced homebrewer or a newbie - when you want to interact with fellow...

My birthday is coming up and I don't have a lot on my list this year. My wife wants to get me something and the only thing I can think of is a Hop Rocket. I love hops and hop flavor so I'd primarily use it as a hop back. So do you like yours? I've read stories of it clogging, any tips to...

I've been postponing brew day because lately here in California it's been over 90 F. Last brew day it hit 93 F and I ended up with an epic sun burn. And trying to cool the beer down ended up being the most stressful part of the day. How do you beat the heat when brewing? And what do you do...

Hi HBT, I'm building a budget computer for my niece. She doesn't have a lot of resources (money). I already exceeded my budget for the project so am hoping I could pick up a copy for pretty cheap. Seems expensive when I look for legit versions. I could just torrent it but I want it to work...

Hi, I just built a HERMS system and completed my first brew day on it. I noticed that when Kal gets ready to dough in, he just waits for the temp in the MLT to read the target mash temp and then mashes in. Here's what he says: I had been so used to factoring in heat loss due to grain temp...

On my most recent pale ale, which was very clean and mostly trub free going into the fermenter, I had a very active fermentation which blew off lots of yeast into my star san jug. In looking at the bottom of the jug I'm seeing clean, white yeast. About an inch of it in a 1 gal container...

I'm looking for ways to better stabilize my mash temperatures for improved brew repeatability after repeating a few of my brews and getting just slightly different results (some other variables though - hop availability, grain substitutions etc.) I do BIAB, and would love to add a tower of...

So a friend of mine works in a construction warehouse where they have lots of metals and building materials. Anyway there has been a pallet of plastic kegs that has been sitting around for 2-3 years. They're brand new, and my friend's boss instructed him to destroy them. So he took a few of...

I don't have a pump yet but I'm going to get one. I just have one question. When you do a recirculating mash or whirlpool chill, how do you empty your lines to and from the pump? Turn off pump, disconnect lines and pour? Or can the pump empty the lines somehow?

Hey guys, looking at the Kegconnection 4 LB CO2 tank but can't find dimensions for this thing anywhere after searching Google or HBT. I'm trying to figure out if it will fit in my fridge. Is it the same height of a 5 LB but with less diameter? Thanks in advance

Long week. No drinking on days where I work the following day. Counting down the hours until it's time to booze it up a little. Who's with me? :mug:

I'm going to be going to a brew club meeting here in February. I've only been brewing for a couple of months and would love to share some of my brew with more experienced folks to get some feedback and tips on doing things better. Problem is, I only have 3 brews in bottles right now and I...

I'm looking into possible equipment upgrades and I'm interested in a pump to do the recirculating wort chilling that Jamil outlines here: http://www.mrmalty.com/chiller.php I started researching how to cool my wort quicker (takes me about 30-40 minutes to chill 5 gal or so to pitching temps...

I recently ordered some stuff from MoreBeer.com and found this grain bag that was $5.50 (edit 3/26 the price has gone up a little bit). At that price I figured what the heck and ordered it for my BIAB. It has been working really well for myself and for others in this thread. Pros: Way better...

Was in the market for a way to tell how much propane I have left in my tanks. Found this baby at Ace Hardware for about $10 that measures the weight of your propane tank to tell you how much you have left (ballpark). You hold the top end in your hand and lift the tank with the fish hook end...

I've seen other members post up reports of getting cool gifts from their significant others, so I figured I'd drop some hints to my girlfriend of 7 years about some stuff I'd like to have for my next brew. Well yesterday for my birthday I came home to a shiny new immersion chiller, woohoo...

Saw this at my HomeDepot here today in Southern California. On special from 11/8 through Black Friday. http://www.homedepot.com/Appliances-Refrigeration-Freezers-Ice-Makers/h_d1/N-25ecodZ5yc1vZc3p2Z1z11ao3/R-203445397/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051#.UKGWbuOe8oY...
