Any help would be appreciated. I brewed a NEIPA a while back, 10 gallons. I kegged both and left one to drink later. The first one was good and worked fine. The 2nd one I dry hopped a few days before I started drinking it, this I've done before but not with a NEIPA. The beer still tastes...

So I dry hopped my pale ale right before going on thanksgiving holiday and I believe I've got a case of grassy beer (hard for my to nail down the flavor, but vegetal/grassy comes to mind) I tasted the beer before carbonation and hopping and it tasted pretty good. I don't know if it was too...

I'm in the far northwest suburbs of chicago and I need to get rid of my cascade hop bed. I'm somewhat close to Crystal Lake, IL. If you want some just reply and we'll schedule up when you can come out and dig. I'd appreciate anything in trade but they are free even if you have nothing to trade.

Hello, I need to get rid of one of my hop beds so I've got a lot of hops if anyone wants to dig them and replant. I'm sure there are several dozen rhizomes plus 8 crowns in the ground if anyone wants them. All cascade. Must come and dig them yourself. (samples of your homebrew are...

So this came out of a cornelius soda fountain. It is wrapped in copper pipe that was used to cool the carbonated water inside. The copper pipe does not leak but it is dented some so flow is restricted but does run. The lid has several... modifications. I can flip it out for a normal lid if...

Fisher Scientific Auto Mixer stir plate w/ 1" stir bar model number: 14-505-21 Used but in working order. Mixes great with a flat bottomed flask. Does mix using a 1 gallon rounded bottom jug but will throw the stir bar at higher speeds (forms vortex fine). The flask in the picture is a 2L...

My wife would like to make wine (yay!) but I'm a bit lost on a recipe to help her out. I've seen a couple strawberry wine recipes on here but I'm not sure about how sweet they turn out. I've pretty much failed myself on making a semi-sweet wine (in the 3 attempts I've made) so I would...

So I'm re-brewing a RIS that turned out very well. My OG into the fermenter is 1.095 and I bump that up during fermentation with DME. Last time I boiled the dme in a small amount of water and added it twice. This took a lot of time and was very messy. Recipe: 5 gallon batch 1 lbs...

I hate siphoning and lately I've been boiling everything that touches my wort (had a bad infection problem. Seems like the solution was moving to a new house.... not cheap) Previously I would get negative pressure in the keg as a side effect of pumping boiling water through it then letting it...

So I'm looking through this build (which is pretty darn cool) http://www.instructables.com/id/Electric-Brewery-Control-Panel-on-the-Cheap/ And see this PID... which if it can be used in some sort of manual mode... would be great for my new build...

So I ordered a panel that I thought was stainless steel but turns out to be Aluminum, oh well, I'll deal. So I was thinking that I could just mount my SSRs to the back of the panel and then mount the heatsinks to the outside back, thus sandwiching the back of the enclosure in between. Will...

I've been looking for 30 amp switches that work well on a control panel. I'd really like one that would be DPDT so I could use it to control what element was on instead of having a switch with two relays. The power would go from that selector switch to one of two SSRs that have signal...

So when I built my fermentation chamber recently I really wasn't thinking about 10 gallon batches since I don't do them often. I can fit two carboys in the freezer but only by setting one up on the hump, when I do that then bout 2" of the neck of the carboy sticks out. Current plan is to...

Alright so I've had horrible infection issues in the past in my kegorator so I want to do slash and burn, we'll see if the keg can take the heat. I have a male quick disconnect to hook up to my pump. I'm trying to find a way to go from 1/4" flare fittings on a keg disconnect to a 1/2" male...

So I'm finally getting my setup back up and running at the new house. We installed a water softener here since the well water has pretty bad iron. It is dissolved so the water comes out clear, but then will precipitate iron oxide out after it sits. Of course I don't want to use softened...

Tried to search on this but no results. I've not brewed for a while but hope to get back in to it this fall. Anyway I love my oatmeal stouts, and I prefer to do them without the rice hulls if I can. I've gotten stuck sparges multiple times with my 10 gallon cooler with a braid. I use the...

So... my wife has a gluten sensitivity (along with several other sensitivies we found out, but gluten is the one that affects beer drinking) She's never been a big drinker, only in the past couple of years has she learned to enjoy beer at all, and that was mostly the thickest darkest sweetest...

I bought a new Monster Mill last year and am mounting it to the wall over my mash tun (so I can just mill right into the tun) so I have my old mill and stand up for sale. You don't have to buy the stand, I can just mail the mill, just the mill and the drill, or the whole thing, or you can...

So I have recently been getting back in to brewing. A couple years ago I got a bug in my routine somehow and ended u having every batch go off after about 3 months in the keg. It took a long time to trace down the problem but it seems to be in the kegging system. I've been bottling batches...

I will be moving somewhat soon and will need to get rid of all but my cascade crowns. I have Willamette, Fuggle, Centennial, Hallertau available. You could pull a lot of rhizomes off for many plants or pull the whole crown for a plant that should give you a harvest this year. You'll need to...
