I have been an all grain brewer for about 2 years and have always done brew-in-a-bag. I started off just wrapping the kettle in some moving blankets, then eventually built a PID controlled RIMS rig, now I've completed what I believe to be the final version of it save for some modifications to...

Hi guys, new to the whole beer trading thing. Flipped through the best beers in america article in Zymurgy last night and convinced myself that I must try Pliny the Elder by Russian River. I have some Three Floyds to trade (Zombie Dust, Alpha King, Pride and Joy) if anyone is willing. I...

Ive got a cheap mypin ta4 pid controller for my RIMS setup that has been working well with a thermocouple. Recently I acquired a new RTD sensor to replace the TC so I can disconnect the sensor from the control box instead of leaving it connected all the time. I cant figure out how to wire it...

I've started doing BIAB with RIMS recently and read alot about the increase in matter that accumulates in the boil kettle because there is a lack of natural filter like in a mash tun. My idea is ti pump the output of my RIMS tube through some kind of a DIY filter. I am thinking of finding...

Does anyone have a couple screenshots of their beersmith setup for a keggle BIAB equipment profile? I would be really greatful, All these numbers are driving me crazy.

So my girlfriend and I made a 4 gallon batch of caramel apple hard cider because she was going downstate to visit some friends and wanted to show off a little bit. So we mix it up, ferment it, bottle it, pasteurize it on the stove but it turns out I didnt pasteurize it soon enough after...

Hi. Building a RIMS system and I dont want to permenantly hard wire my thermocouple probe to the back of the PID. I know thermocouple wire is kind of special, but I have some bad thermocouples with wires still on them i can use as pigtails. My question is, if this wire is so special, would...

Hey everyone, looking for some creative solutions to my issue here and maybe some examples of ways to pull this off. I am building my RIMS setup for maintaining mash temp in my keggle during BIAB. My boil is still fueled by propane. I have the system completely assembled and built, but...

Hey everyone. My other SWMBO (mom) has asked me to make her a vanilla beer of some kind. I asked if she wanted it to be a heavy or light beer and she requested that it be on the lighter side. I've seen tons of recipes for vanilla stouts and porters, but havn't been able to find many for...

Im working on a half electric BIAB RIMS system. I plan to use my propane burner to get my keggle up to dough-in temp, proceed to dough in, then power up my home built RIMS tube with PID to maintain the mash temp in the keggle. After I begin the mash, the propane will remain off until the mash...

Got a quarter barrel for new years for myself and a couple buddies. We didnt end up getting through all of the beer and now its sitting in my garage. I re-tapped it last night but its pretty flat beer. We were just using a party tapper from the liquor store. Is there anything simple I can...

Hey all. I brewed my second extract kit today (NB chocolate milk stout) and just like my first batch, the wort tasted extremely hoppy. Now I know that it is unfermented and alot changes during fermentation, but consider this: The Extract batch that I brewed about 4 weeks ago has fermented...
