It was fun to put together and served its purpose, but if I would have known how easy a chest freezer and controller keep temps in check, I would have gone this route to start with. Only thing I noticed was that the chest freezer seems to cool faster than the ice chamber and it created a...

I just bottled an IPA that I used 6.5 ounces of cascade whole hops in. It smells/tastes great from hydrometer, but I noticed that each bottle has a few seeds floating in it. I hope they sink, but was wondering if others have had this problem? Or if its even anything to worry about aside from...

I left it ugly compared to others I have seen on the net, but this thing works pretty good. Next year I may upgrade to get away from the ice changes but for now it does the job.

I have made the same amber ale three times now. With the same ingredients I have gone from 63% and 66% with LHBS grind, to 83% with the new mill set at .039. I was really surprised at the difference. Aside from the efficiency, it was also cool to mill in the garage and throw in the mash tun two...

I went to Lagunitas and picked up this Gem. I don't know why , but I have been collecting bottle openers lately. Its a cool brewery and I couldn't pass it up.

Hi guys, Just ran through ten pounds of pale malt with my new mill set at .039. There is a little more flour than I am used to, so I was wondering what you all think? As a side note, I used the Dewalt 10.5 amp drill and it worked like a champ.

Finally broke down and bought a grain mill. I picked up the MM2 2.0 and slapped it together with some 2/4s. The mill seems pretty beefy. I am going to power it with a Dewalt 10.5 amp drill. I just hope the RPMs are not too high.

I have been brewing a while and was looking for other homebrewers in the area to swap and critique brews with.

I did two brews yesterday. All went well up until I went to put the last bung in the fermenter and....20 minutes later I am still twisting and turning and the bung keeps slipping. Finally, the beer Gods smiled down on me and it stayed down. Long day.

Twice this month I have cracked the bottom of the 3 piece airlock trying to pull the bung off. I know they are inexpensive, but I have never had this problem before. Just wondering if China has compromised their super high quality or if i'm being too rough?

hello all, i am building the 38DD fermentor cooler. I bought a Honeywell RTH111B thermostat. Does anyone know were the thermistor is? If not do you know of a thermostat that is easily modified and available?

I have a three tier gravity brew stand. My boil kettle has a false bottom with a pickup tube. I have always used leaf hops but my LHBS for the most part sells pellets. Question is, can I use pellet hops and drain from my boil kettle to carboy as I usually do, or will the pellets clog the pickup...
