    For Sale [Iowa] - Kegerator, Ferm Fridge, Keggle, Kegs, Equipment, etc... All gotta go

    Getting out of the hobby and looking to clear out everything in my garage for homebrewing. (Dont worry, I have a friend locally who brews a lot if I ever get the itch) Located east-side Iowa City. I can help load, but you'll need to pick up. I'll ship at buyer's expense, but obviously the...

    Cloudy Cider (not the question you're thinking of)

    So... the server at a local brewery had this wild idea to make a beer that glitters, because she saw it online. The brewer just kept making fun of her, as he should. I told her I'd help, but only if it were a cider, to save all the time and hassle of a real mash. From what I can tell...

    Best for mini conversions?

    So at my kid's 1yrold birthday yesterday I accidentally pierced a line and my previous danby 4.4 is headed to the scrap heap. Is there a new "best mini fridge" recommendation? In a perfect world it would fit two pin locks and a 5lb tank, but beggars can't be choosers... Need to have the new...

    Iowa Parts for DIY RIMS tube

    I've got the parts for a 120v 1-1/2" SS RIMS tube. I put it together, ran water through it, never got around to re-wrapping one of the threads, and never used it. Gathering dust in the garage, figure I should sell it off. I have: 1x - 8" SS Pipe 3x - 1-1/2" NPT Male to 1/2" NPT Female...

    WTB - Thermapen

    I'm a brewer, I'm also into smoking/bbq, so a thermapen is finally a reasonable investment. I don't need the latest and greatest, so if anyone has an older model thermapen they're looking to sell, would love to hear from you. Thanks

    The woes of a 120v brewer

    OK, so currently, I brew with propane. And it sucks. I just finished my RIMS tube/panel build, waiting for more silicone hose to arrive to actually use it, but so far, it is very, very exciting. So in looking into some things around my house (a duplex, built in 1992), it looks like the...

    Questions before buying camlocks

    So I'm moving into using my pump, and rather than deal with hoses and clamps, I figured I'd go full camlock right off the bat, since the prices are a lot nicer than I thought. I haven't decided whether I'm going with bargainfittings or brewhardware yet, depends on price, I guess. But assuming...

    Element wouldn't fit through the hole?

    (that's what she said). So I purchased this element for a RIMS build in 1.5" stainless pipe, but the fold over at the end wouldn't fit through the 1" adapter to screw it in. So a couple questions: #1 - Am I just a moron and trying to assemble it wrong? I have the 1.5" tee, with a 1.5" to...

    RIMS tube, complete or parts.

    Looking to build a RIMS tube. I'm fine with threaded but would listen to good offers on a tri clover setup as well. Just looking for ANY supplies for this mission. I have nothing. Thanks

    Iowa Duda Diesel Plate Chiller

    I have a Duda Diesel B3-12A-30ST Plate Chiller with garden hose water connections, and 1/2inch barb word connections. I purchased it from another HBT user, I only used it once, it works great, but I think based on the way my 'brewery' is set up, I prefer the immersion chiller, gravity feeding...

    Cleaning an old plate chiller?

    A friend offered me a plate chiller. He hasn't brewed in years. He can't remember what his cleaning regimen was after each brew day, but said I'm welcome to use it. How in the heck do I go about getting this thing back in usable condition? Is it even possible?

    Maybe I'm just an idiot, Universal Poppet Installation?

    So I had some poppets that were being a bit of pain in the arse (one of three legs not seating on the same ring as the others, so occasionally it would get stuck. Not a huge deal on the gas post, but got myself drenched in chocolate stout when it happen from the liquid post) I grabbed some...

    Brass Solenoid Valves

    So I'm working on a (hopefully) cool DIY project for my keezer, using some electronics (mainly arduino), and some solenoid valves to act as shutoffs for my lines (cats, new dog, kids eventually, etc). All the stainless steel solenoid valves i can find are crazy expensive, like 100+ per...

    Hissing, losing co2 from regulator release valve.

    I've got a single body regulator, and recently it's starting behaving very angrily... It would hiss and release pressure anywhere above 10PSI... I could occasionally get it to hold pressure by futzing with it just right, but it's stopped cooperating all together... What are my options? I...

    Looking for co2 distributor/manifold

    Looking to get a CO2 manifold/distributor, at least 3, maybe as many as 5 or 6 outputs. Don't particularly care if it's barbs or MFL, would prefer them with individual shutoffs and check valves. Let me know what you've got. Thanks
