I recently was able to grab a used large wort strainer (5.5OD strainer from Brewershardware) but the main body TC is 5.5in, not your normal 6 or 4. I’m trying to find alternative uses for it so I can but it to work for more than just a wort strainer but finding 5.5in (155mm) parts seems to be a...

I'm looking into beginning a side-by-side conversion but I wanted to pick people's brains before I get too far along. Has anyone been able to fit four cornies and four taps on the freezer side of a side by side? I'd really like to move away from my keezer (tired of picking up kegs and cleaning...

I decided to try a few no chill batches directly into my corny. The first couple batches came out good but I was still a little worries about oxygen/other baddies being sucked back in while they cooled. This is my third batch now and I tried connecting it to the co2 at 1-2 psi just to keep it...

In my haste to get my new kegging system up and running I didn't quite do my homework on what to do/not do. I cleaned everything, loaded the keg and tried to burst carb. Everything seemed great last night, I got enough carbonation to make me feel like I knew what I was doing. I put everything...

So long story short I've been given the go ahead to begin building a keezer, the one catch is the wife doesn't like the way they look. No matter how any awesome builds I show her the answer is still "I don't like it". Her compromise was to build the whole thing into a wall shelving unit and...

I wanted to start this thread to help consolidate all the experiences of everyone trying to grow hops in Florida. Several of us on HBT have had success and failures with nearly every type of hop out there. We can use this thread to provide tips, tricks and of course our experience to break the...

Here is another lesson on never pouring out your batch until it’s aged. I bottled my first batch about 3 weeks ago, knowing that there was a good chance that I had screwed it up but figured why not, I’ve already put in all the work and it can’t hurt to see how it came out. To...

I posted this originally in the bottling section but it may be better as a new brewer question. I live in Florida and I'm looking at temps reaching upwards of 78-80 degrees in my house over the summer, which means my room temp is not the normal 70 people think. Has anyone found a solution to...

Anyone found a solution to where/how to condition your beer after bottling when room temp is upwards of 80? I was debating using my chest freezer but really didn't want to lose space I could be using for my fermentors. It's not so bad now but Florida summer is quickly approaching and I want to...

Anyone know of anywhere near the Tampa area I could get some rhyzomes or a starter plant? I'm looking to grow my own this year and would rather start before the march-may time frame most of the online places quote...not to mention I'd rather support local. I'm pretty open to types right now too.

I've been looking around and can't seem to find anything like what I'm looking for. I've been spoiled in my house by the Nest thermostat. It's a digital thermostat that I can control from my iPhone. It gives me all kinds of reporting to see how long my AC unit ran, at what time of day and...
