    Questions about my first brew

    Welcome to the forum! Have no fear, you're doing fine. To answer your questions: 1. Don't worry about it. It's not really going to hurt to swirl the carboy and mix up those hops.

    WTT: Johnson A419 for Beer Gun

    I have a pretty much brand new digital Johnson a419 that I've only plugged in a couple of times to test it out. I still have the original box and instructions, etc. I'm looking for a new or very gently used Blichmann Beer Gun. I don't need the accessory pack or anything, just what would come...

    You're in Jefferson? I've got a place in Ashtabula (Saybrook, actually) on the lake, but only make it up about a week a year. I'll take a look and PM a price.

    RIMS Controller - 120v 15A

    I've got a direct-fire mash tun and am looking to put together a RIMS tube to maintain mash temperatures. The wiring in my house is suspect, so I want to put as little load on it as possible, that's why I'm asking for 15A. I'm looking for something that someone already has together and is...
