    To Steam or NOT to Steam

    So, I sometimes use a sanke fermenter with the fermentation kit on it, and I put a gallon of water in it and boil/steam it for 15 minutes or so. Typically, I connect the blowoff to my plate chiller when I do this and steam the chiller for 15 minutes too...sterilizing the crap out of them...

    Draft Beer Lines -- Berliner Weisse

    So, I brewed my first sour beer a few weeks ago, an amazingly tasty Ginger Lime Berliner Weisse, but I noticed something. My DIY QuickCarb and my picnic faucet lines all smell like the beer (guessing the acid did something to them). I cleaned at length with PBW and then Saniclean (StarSan low...

    Illinois 316L Stainless Chain -- 50% off Retail

    So, I have some 316L Proof Coil Chain that I bought for a large project and never used it. It is super expensive chain, but I'd like to get rid of it. Retail for 1/4" is about $18 per linear foot (will include link). The company doesn't sell 3/16", but by extrapolating the differences in...

    DIY Belgian Candi Syrup Question

    So, I followed the dude on YouTube (Tim White) who used wort, pickling lime (slaked lime), and sugar. I followed his instructions, but the syrup got to a point where it became foamy (not the bubbles from boiling), and then when it cooled down, it never became clear...has a cloudy appearance...

    Illinois 3 V System for Sale -- Chicago

    So, I'm selling a bunch of equipment because I'm moving, and I just don't need the stuff. I've dropped the price immensely. If you live in the Chicago area and want to get into all-grain, this is a good deal. On the HLT and Boil Keggle, the fittings are TIG welded. Here are links to the...

    White labs customer service -- horrible

    First, I have to start off by saying... WHITE LABS CUSTOMER SERVICE SUX BALLS! So, here is the story. I bought two White Labs Yeast Strains through The Pursuit Supply company. The yeast is distributed via LD Carlson. The yeast strains are WLP400 (1 pkg) and WLP410 (2 pkgs)...Witbier and...

    Cooling Yeast Starter Wort -- (Not Entire Starter)

    So, I made some yeast starter wort and didn't have a way to cool it down. Doing what I thought would be okay at the time, I wrapped the top (including foam stopper) in aluminum foil and stuck in the fridge overnight. Now, I'm thinking that it somehow could get bacteria in there, etc. Not...

    Immersion Chiller -- Stainless or Copper

    So, I have a gift certificate and what I need is an immersion chiller to drop the wort temp down quickly under 140 before I run it through the plate chiller. Sounds weird, but I know that while using a plate chiller the majority of your wort is just below boiling for a lot of the time. My...

    Food Color -- Jockey Box Lines

    So, I want to store my stainless coil jockey box outside in the winter (Chicago here), and even though I've gotten the water out of an immersion chiller before, it had enough residual to fill the bottom coil, freeze and blow a hole in it (copper...but still). Anyway, I bought some propylene...

    Pilsen Malt -- Prostejov/Sladovny Czech

    I just got a bag of genuine Czech Pilsner Malt. It is distributed by Country Malt Group. The only thing I can't find is the Diastatic Power for the malt for my BeerSmith. Does anyone know this, or will I have to call Country Malt Group to get the info??? Cheers!

    Illinois 3 Vessel Keggle System For Sale -- $550

    Haven't taken any close-up pics, but I have a 3 Vessel Keggle (slightly used) system for sale. I don't want to piece it out if I don't have to only because of the issues with selling part of it -- and being stuck with some of the other parts. The only reason I'm selling this is to upgrade to...

    Low Gravity -- Question?

    So, I was brewing an Oatmeal Porter yesterday, and was having some issues with my thermometer(s). First, I did a protein rest at 125 for the oatmeal, and then I ramped up to 156 for sacch. rest. At the last second, I remembered I had a digital thermometer that was much more accurate. When I...

    BeerSmith Est. OG not correct?

    Well, let me first say that the Est. OG per a given efficiency isn't calculated correctly...or I'm wrong in assuming OG isn't linear. For my last batch, my Estimated Pre-Boil Gravity was supposed to be 1.040 at 13.06 gallons. Then, my Estimated O.G. on BeerSmith's sliding scale for my recipe...

    So, I typically keg my beers, and I want to do 10 gallon batches, but only have a keggle. I have to do a brewing demo at a festival for my local HBC. Since I have a three tier system, I'm trying to convert to a BIAB for this demo. my question is this. Since I don't have enough room to steep...

    Illinois Three Tier Brewing Setup for Sale

    Get into All-Grain with this incredible brewstand. I'm trying to upgrade to a bigger set-up, so I'd love to sell this. I've only brewed 8 batches on it. I designed and welded it myself. I had the thing powder coated, but wasn't "flame resistant"/"heat resistant" powder coating. A wire brush...
