Used, but in good shape with the movable deck. Got a new capper for Christmas and decided to keep it instead of this one. Price: $45 plus shipping...

Sacramento area Stone fans... Many number of Sacramento area Costco Stores have a limited supply of Stone Drink By IPA on sale. It's going fast... Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I tripped across jcaudill's thread on his brilliant CIP style keg washer. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/easy-corny-keg-washer-363598/ I started looking at putting one together for myself. The last time I bought a pump was a few years back a the cost was a bit of a shocker. So, I started...

What addition to a DIY brew project have you made that you find most useful? I'm not taking about a major component, like adding a pump. I'm talking about the little details that make your brew day better/easier/faster/more fun. Like an extra bend in a dip tube or a better way to protect your...

I had a Christmas Ale in Frementer #1, a 10 gallons Corny. The recipe is based on a Wee Heavy with cloves, ginger and orange peel to spice it up. A few weekends ago, I sampled it and was really disappointed. So, I brewed a Brown Porter to have something nice to drink for the holidays. I...

The Homebrew community never ceases to amaze me. Brewers, professional as well as the hobby sort, are always ready to lend a hand or offer advice. Many of the vendors operate on the Golden Rule model. Bobby, at brewhardware.com; Wayne, at bargainfittings.com; williamsbrewing.com are a few that...

Now that I have my brew cart built, I'm brewing a lot more...and going through more CO2. I'm also switching from my carbonation gas line to my bottle filler gas line a lot more. It's a pain. The weekend before last, I had to replace my compressor. While I was at Harbor Freight, I got one of...

Ok, I bought a replacement thermometer from Williams Brewing on one of their promotions. I didn't read the description properly. The thread was too small for my 1/2" NPT fitting on my Cool Mash Tun. So, I bought the correct sized one and no problems. I have never had a thermometer in my...

My STC-1000 has worked flawlessly for two batches. This morning, I bottled 10 gallons on Blonda Ale to clear the fridge for my next batch, 10 gallons of ESB. I want to ferment at 20°C. I reset the STC-1000 to F1 = 20.0 F2 = 0.5 F3 = 3 F4 = -0.2 The cooling light is flashing and I...

I need to get a second burner for my new brew rig. I already have one and have the mounts fabricated. Do all ring burners mount the same way or are there different types? Also, the mounting bar on my rig is designed to adjust up and down. I can run it from 1" below the bottom of my...

...at Russian River.... Mmmmmm Very tasty.

Five weeks ago, I bought two one-gallon jugs of Kirkland Apple Juice from Costco. I added about a 1/4 pound of brown sugar boiled in a couple of cups of juice from each bottle. Bored a hole in each cap for a fermentation lock. Added some yeast nutrient and pitched half a packet of Safle 05 in...

Ok, I've spent the weekend searching and pouring over the site looking for answers. I haven't foundthe answers to my specific questions (although I have had a heck of an education). I am about to build my brew rig. It will be a single tier stand. I have two 15 gallons kettles for the HLT &...

After reading countless posts in the cider forum, I decided to take a whack. I picked up a couple of gallon jugs of apple juice at Costco. Pulled a few cups and boiled them with a pound of brown sugar. I added some yeast nutrient then mixed the sugar mix with the juice and poured them back...

I got a Weldless tap setup for my kettle. I can't get the thing to seat properly. The NPT nipple will not allow the valve to tighten down on the coupling because of the shoulders between the threads on either side of the nipple. The photo below shows the exploded view of the set up. The red...

I bought this for a Kal-Clone system. I've ended up going another way. This punch has never been used. Check the photos below. I'm asking $65 + shipping from zip code 95648. Box size: 10" x 7" x 4.75" (USPS Flat Rate Box) 21oz.

I got this kit to convert my new 15 Gallon Concord Pot kettle. I managed to get the hole drilled with a 5/16 cobalt drill bit as a pilot hole and a Greenlee Step Bit. The problem is that when I put the kit together, I still have about a 3/16" gap between the gasket and the inside wall of...

I've spend the last couple hours pouring through every thread on the site as well as a Google search looking for information on on false bottoms. I've poured through every book, magazine and manual I have. I haven't found the answers to my questions. The level of information here is...

My last two batches were the first I've brewed in 12 years. They were extract and partial mashes (steeps) adapted from older recipes. Both, Southern English Brown Ale and a Best Bitters, met with huge acclaim. Better still, I had a blast brewing again. The Bitters was the first brew I have ever...

First post after lurking for a handful of weeks. I started brewing again after a 12 year hiatus. My first brew was a Southern British Brown Ale partial mash and turned out rather well. I used to force carbonate and serve from Corny Kegs. So, after cleaning everything up and racking to a...
