    Transitioning RO system from city, to well water

    Hey Everyone, I just bought a new home and move in on February 27th. My prior home was in the city suburbs and I was on city water. The new home is more rural and uses well water. My RO system is the premium RO system from Buckeye. I have also been using a pressure tank and a permeate pump...

    For Sale 14 Gallon SS Brewtech Unitank

    I purchased a 14 Gallon SS Brewtech Unitank when they had their Black Friday sale in November. Haven’t even had the chance to use it yet. The machine oil is still on the tank which will serve as proof of that. With the announcement of the 2.0, I want to try and get my money back so I can get...

    Machine oil

    I just bought a SS Brewtech Mini kettle for small/ test batches. I’ve heard of these kettles having machining oil on them and that they need a good cleaning. Never had an issue with my other kettles. I know they recommend cleaning with TSP but for some reason I ignored that advice and gave it a...

    Corny Lid with tri clamp

    I have been in search of something like this for a long time. I wasn’t able to find it on their website but I assume it’ll be up soon? Posting for others that may be interested. Not sure why the tri clamp pipe is so tall though.

    Chlorine or chloramine

    Hey guys, I am in the works of ordering an RO system and I need to find out if my water contains chlorine or chloramine. Are you able to tell me the answer to that with this photo of which I believe is the water quality report for my tap. I know it says chlorine on one of the columns, but this...

    Stout -> dark fruit

    I bought a “Bell’s Third Coast Old Ale”before because I’ve always been interested in making a barley wine. Wanted to try a commercial example. I hated it (still drank it all). It had this dark fruit character to it that I just couldn’t get past. I’ve always raved about “Old Rasputin” RIS. Have...

    Considering a pump

    Hey guys, I have been considering purchasing a brew pump. Specifically the Blichman Riptide. My goals with the pump in descending order: 1. Increased chill time / ability to whirlpool (I use a jaded hydra) 2. CIP for my spike kettle using the spike low pressure ball - if I could avoid moving...

    Crazy starter

    So this is a 2 liter starter in a 5 liter flask. Yeast = Sundew, which I’m super exited for. Definitely smells strongly of fruit and tastes like fruit out of the package. Anyways, I made the starter at night and the next morning there was a decent Krausen - maybe an inch or so. I always swirl a...

    Glycol chiller on 15 gallon keg

    Hey guys, I switched to fermenting 10 gallon batches in a 15 gallon torpedo keg. What I have been doing is chilling as low as I can post boil, transferring to keg, then with the help of my fiancé, lifting the keg up, and into my kegerator. This is not ideal. I am considering buying a glycol...

    Recommendations for FV

    I just sold my SS Brewtech Unitank today. I was looking to simplify my brew days and bring more ease to my process. The unitank was great, but that’s a ton of parts to clean every brew day, and also my DIY glycol was a pain in the butt. With that being said, I’m on the lookout for a new FV...

    CIP with air compressor?

    I have always thought about how it would be nice to be able to CIP my unitank. I don’t own a home brew pump though, and from I’ve read, most home brew pumps don’t cut it anyways. To clean my draft lines, I fill a keg with hot water, oxy clean and maybe some TSP. I then use a pancake air...
