    Outdoor burners?

    Yes. It looks smaller than it is in the picture and those retaining bars are adjustable.

    Pre-heating a mash tun..

    I preheat my cooler mashtun by going 8-10 degrees past my strike temp. If after 15 minutes I am too high I simply open and stir. It does not take long to get it to drop the few degrees I may be off. Simple and efficient for me.

    DIY Beer Line Cleaner

    Thanks! Just built this using the same Home Depot parts and the Type A Liquid ball lock post from Norther Brewer. I removed the original white "washer" from the plastic tip of the sprayer and flipped it around in the flare like was suggested and I have a functional trigger. Also using enough...

    Bake pumpkin use next day

    You'll be fine. I did the same. I did put the pumpkin in the microwave to bring the temp up to 150 degrees before the mash so I didn't have to worry about dropping my temp with cold pumpkin.

    North Country Malt Group to stop selling to homebrewers

    I hope the walk-in customers won't have problems. I was just planning a trip down to the Chicago area. Never bought from them before but have plenty of others I know who have.

    Gravity Calculation Help

    The calculations I've seen for evaporation are: FinalGravity = (InitGravity - 1) * 1000 * InitialVolume / FinalVolume / 1000 + 1 So in your case (1.040 - 1) * 1000 * 8 / 5 / 1000 + 1 Which is 1.064.

    Threaded fitting and nylon washer

    Do I need to use a nylon washer on a threaded ball lock disconnect? It seems the disconnect has a plastic end that the nylon washer does not fit on as nicely as the metal threaded fittings of say the gas distributor.

    So I just found a case of beer

    Cleaning out a basement room long in need of cleaning last month I came upon two cases of dusty bottles some of which still had caps on and low and behold, held what appears to be beer. About a 12-pack of two different beers. Judging from the caps on them I think they are from around 1993 or...

    Returning Homebrewer

    Hi all - My name is Victor from the Milwaukee, WI area and I started brewing over 15 years ago but I haven't brewed a batch in almost 4 years (and that was actually a hard cider). It's time to dust off the equipment and get back to it! I was Googling for a recipe and came across this site...
