Well it's time for me to downgrade. With a 2 year old and a baby on the way, I'm looking at going back to kit brew....which is fine by me. I've got a number of things available. Shipping is available on the items that note it only. Also the Control panel and RIMS tube/setup is not for sale ATM...

So I'm starting another batch of salami and I've got a question. I bought the pork last Saturday and removed it from the fridge yesterday to chop further and mix it with the Cure #2 and Salt. It was 5 days in the fridge and I've seen the food charts that note 3-5 days for pork to be eaten when...

So I'm doing my first whole muscle cure and decided on a relatively inexpensive cut of meat. Trimmed and rubbed the brine in then covered in plastic wrap and into a zip lock bag for 8 days and then into the curing chamber.

So I'm beginning to dive into the world of dried and cured meats. I've got a fermenting chamber setup for heating and cooling already. I'm going to set up a water basin with a towel and small fan for humidity and circulation also. I've been reading about the starter cultures needed for the...

A friend and I have 7 crowns in the ground from Great Lakes Hops. They are doing amazingly well, but I'm trying to figure out if they should be trimmed. I'm expecting production from these crowns because they aren't growing from rhizomes, but I don't know whether or not they needed to be...

I no longer use this pump as I have moved my system to a different pump and configuration. It worked great while I used it and the flow was very fast. Selling for $80 plus shipping. Local pickup works best of course. There are 3 pictures uploaded. 1 of the pics shows the mounting screw holes...

I recently upgraded my setup with an STC, and I don't have any use for this any longer. A friend was recently borrowing it, and he said it kept to within 1 degree the whole time. Selling for $45 + shipping. I should be able to get it into a flat rate box. If not, I'll cover any addition charges...

Ok. I know this topic has been covered, but I can't seem to find any people that are recently talking about doing this. I run a RIMS tube for my mash. My set up is a bottom drain insulated keg and I use on of the Chinese tan pumps for the re-circulation. I also use a BIAB bag in the MT to allow...

I am looking to add two 1.5" tri clamp ferrules to the side of my keggle and one .5" SS couple to the bottom of my keggle (bottom drain). The welder I was emailing with recently doesn't have the back purge ability and I have a few other emails out without any luck. I'm in the SW Chicago...

I'm turning my kettle into a electric keggle and adding a couple welded ports for elements and a bottom drain. I'm trying to get an idea of what it should cost to get 2 ferrules and a 1/2" SS couple welded to a keggle. I've got 1 quote from a guy but I wanted to make sure I did my due diligence...

I've just upgrade my equipment to a keggle MT and no longer use an HLT, so I'm getting rid of this stuff. I've recently received some brewing supplies for my panel build for free, so I'm giving this stuff away to the first PMer for continued beer karma. The 1st is a 10 gallon Igloo cooler. It...

I'm selling an unused converted keggle. I got it and converted it in plans to make it into an HLT, but I've since moved to a 2 vessel system and no longer need it. The top has been cut off and 2 holes have been drilled. There is a hole for the ball valve and a hole for the weldless site glass...

So, I've got the panel all wired up and it powers on and all. Something I'm damn excited about let me add. Last night I went and wired up the temp probe and the read out is a little funny. I'll list what I'm running so it's known. I've got the MYPIN TA4-SSR with a K type thermocouple from Auber...

Hey people, I'm looking for a 15.5 gallon keg in the New Orleans area. I'm brewing a beer for my brother's wedding on April and we need a larger kettle. The kettle is actually for the fellow brewer that's allowing us to use his setup because I live in Chicago but the wedding and family is in New...

So I'll be making the move to using my RIMS tube soon, and I've read a number of posts advising that it is very hard to clean the element thoroughly just through re circulation cleaning after brewing. Bobby's RIMS tube is out of reach, and since I've already got the threaded version waiting to...

I've got an extra 5 gallon ball lock corny and I'm wanting to get another pump. I don't want another Chugger because it's too much for the need, but I'd like one of these or similar. I'm in Chicago and I figure a trade will just be shipping the item to each other. Local is cool too. Thanks for...

Ok. I know the title is a little confusion, but I'll clear it up right now. My brother wants me to brew beer to be served at his wedding. The problem is that I live in Chicago and the wedding is in New Orleans. I've been searching for someone to help me brew while down there on a trip this...

I've had a Sanke D coupler sitting in my pantry for quite a while now. It came with a kegerator conversion kit I'd bought, but I only needed the parts for corny kegs so. Has the gas tailpiece still also. Selling it for $20 plus shipping. It's small enough to fit in the small flat rate box from...

So I've just about finished building my new brew stand and no longer have a need for the previous one. It was a nice wood work bench, but I converted it into my brew stand very simply and it worked great. The best part was that it was wood and it was free, so I wasn't against drilling a few...

Ok, so I brewed up 10 gallons last night. While I'm heating up my water for the whole session in my kettle, I'm usually running sanitizer through my pump, and the valves, and my plate chiller. It was at this point, that I realized I'd forgotten my plate chiller at work (was getting shipping...
