Three-tier woody.

A friend of mine is looking to buy her signifcant other a commercial kegerator for his birthday and asked me for advice. My experience in this area is restricted to homebrew rigs, and therefore I have little to offer. She wants to spend under 1k$, including a full keg of good beer. Any...

I actually have something like that already and was considering it. Flaming loops and performing aseptic transfers is exactly what I plan to do. I agree that it would work well and be relatively safe. The problem is that the fuel canisters are expensive and don't last very long. For now, my...

Thanks guys, your setups sound nice. However, I don't have gas or propane lines at my house, so I was thinking more along the lines of a portable supply.

I am working on putting together a basic home yeast lab. Does anyone know how to set up a fuel supply for a bunsen burner at home?

Wow, thanks for all the info. Its been awhile since I've posted here and I almost forgot how helpful and knowledgeable the people of this community are.

Thanks. I am considering a household water filtration system like this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/water-filter-setup-29145/ Sounds like it ought to work.

I recently moved and the city I moved to uses MIOX (mixed oxidant) secondary disinfection. From what I gather from sundry online sources, this is a reaction that uses NaCl and electricity to create various oxidative species. The chlorine smell is very noticeable. Will a charcoal filter remove...

What your friend said is indeed disturbing. I am disturbed by it.

What sort of GPH rating should I look for?

Thanks for the fast responses. I was hoping to get by with the equipment I have, but looks like I may have to save for a pump.

I just moved from northern Michigan to South Carolina and brewed my first SC beer on Sunday. Trying to chill wort with water the temperature of microwaved urine is not something I am used to. Just looking for suggestions from any southern brewers on how to deal with this. I tried running the...

White's is good for emergency purchases of airlocks, hoses, carboys etc. I know yooperbrew has an overall negative impression of this business (hell hath no fury... ), but some of the employees are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I brew with one of the clerks (Kevin) and can attest to...

I just helped drain a keg of English mild that my buddy brewed with this yeast. He split 10 gallons and fermented 5 with coops and 5 with WLP001. both were fermented at ~65 F. This temp definitely favored the coopers, as it started within `8 hours and finished after 4 days. The chico carboy had...

Entered my first competition (ABC brews Crews; http://www.uidzero.net/aron/abc/) held last Saturday. I mailed in two beers (snow cow wee heavy & What are you talking a stout) and I am getting jittery waiting to hear the results. Just curious if any other HBT'ers are competing. And, if you...

Here's my Snow Cow Wee Heavy. Pretty close to Skullsplitter Amount Item Type % or IBU 16.00 lb Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 91.43 % 0.75 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 4.29 % 0.50 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 2.86 % 0.25 lb Roasted Barley (300.0...

Its been in secondary for ~1 month. My understanding is that the brett character (horsey, goaty etc.) usually takes a long time to come out. I think that by step culturing and pitching in primary I over inoculated with brett. I think that perhaps adding the dregs directly to secondary and then...

I love Jolly Pumpkin's beers. So I thought 'hey, why not grow up some of Ron's critters and pitch em' into my beer?'. I took the dregs from a bottle of Bam bier and step cultured it to a 1 L starter. Aside from sour mashes, this was my first experience with the wild things and didn't really know...
