It's time for me to clean out the storage area and convert my collecting habit into some much needed cash. I'll generally list what I have in the text here, see the attached file for pictures and details. I'd prefer not to ship any of this for obvious reasons, most of it is bulky and quite...

...so who's making some locally sourced (read, self-harvested/foraged/scavenged) wine? I'm kicking off my first spring "winemaking" with a dandelion, hopefully soon, then planning a big ol' batch of mulberry soon. Also, depending on what fruits show up cheap/plentiful this year, may play with...

...look what I garbage picked on a hot tip from my mom! All said and done: 2 - 6 1/2G Carboys 1- 5G Carboy 9 Growlers 2 Hydrometers 1 floating thermometer 5 usable airlocks 1 bag wine corks 1 bag "Caffine Free Pepsi" Bottlecaps (that came in glass bottles?) 1 handheld corker...

I currently know of at least 3 mulberry trees that are available for me to harvest from. I may have a line on two or three more. I'm thinking this will give me enough berries to make at LEAST 25 gallons of wine. I'm trying to mentally (and equipmentally) prepare myself for this adventure. I have...

Well here it is...It's been a bit of time in the planning and actually pulling the trigger. I didn't want my sightglass and thermometer to be in different places on my keggle anymore. See my stand if you want to know why. So I invented this little guy. It replaces those compression fittings you...

I'm obviously in need of a wind screen for my two burners on my stand. The place where I brew is in a bit of a suburban wind tunnel. I have an old SS pot that I'm getting ready to retire. As it already has holes in it, I'm thinking of just carving it up into two wind shields. Here's my pot, let...

Tell me if the specs on this pump look acceptable for a homebrewing situation. I have an opportunity to purchase this for a reasonable price and the specs look good to me, but I am no expert... Grundfos Pump UP26-96F 1/12 HP Recirculator Pump. Thanks! :mug:

Got my new Low Pressure Gauge and CO2 tank nut ring today and got the old ones off. Now I'm wondering if I should be gas taping, pipegooing, or leaving these threads alone. Who knows the answer?

I'm overall not impressed with this beer. Not for any real reason, but just an overall feeling. If it was mine, I would add a bit more roasted barley, a bit more black patent, and let it age in the barrel a bit longer. It definately has a bit of bourbon feel in it, and I agree with the label...

Seems like a silly question but I have encountered more than one person who seems to have mounted their bulkhead straight through the bottom of a keg. I mean the concave, "this is the part that I sit on" bottom of their keg, not the lower part of the side of the keg. I feel like...

So this thing shows up unexpectedly on my porch yesterday. After making a few calls, it turns out it was my uncle. A friend of his came across it somewhere, didn't know what to do with it, gave it to him. He didn't know what to do with it, gave it to me. So now that I have no idea what to do...

Almost forgot...I have to go to a wedding this weekend. We are staying at the Kellog Center and I'll have lots of time to kill, but don't want to really drive anywhere as everything (ceremony, reception, etc) is all very close. Anybody recommend any bars or brewpubs in the area?

That's right. I love it, and i'm not afraid to say it.

Anybody ever tasted it? I was given a bottle last night, and it's some pretty tasty stuff. I was sold as soon as I saw that the bottle has a handy strap to slide your hand/belt into, but once I tasted it I was sold. I'll never drink tea any other way! PS I know that it's not beer, but it's...

Because I can't find it anywhere, and I know I saw it somewhere... I'm looking for a list of things that I should be asking any local welder about before he works on my kegs. Can you do this, will you do this, etc. This is what I have so far. TIG Backgas/Flux sanitary welds (not sure if...
