My requested help: Would it be possible to help me get the word out, time is short as applications are due end of month? Please private message me potential candidates contact information, name of brewery, name of individual, and email or phone. If you are the candidate, I can email more...

I first posted this in the DIY; oversight on my part that there's a dedicated section for automating. May I get a little more additional help per the following: Ok, so I'm very pleased with how my heat exchanger coil within my HLT turned out. I'm just not sure where to go with the controller...

Ok, so I'm very pleased with how my heat exchanger coil within my HLT turned out. I'm just not sure where to go with the controller system. It will be a propane setup and I would like for the temp probe to be inline on the return to the mash tun. I need the controller, igniter, solenoid...

I made my first cider mid September. Recipe was 5 gallons (1.052 OG) untreated cider, added 2# dark brown sugar for an OG of 1.072 and S-04 for yeast. I had huge lag, 72 hours. What finally got fermentation going was re-pitching and bumping temp up from 64 to 68 deg F. Current gravity is...

Has anyone tried cloning Belhaven Wee Heavy? I've looked online, but recipes are all over the place. This is the beer that got me into craft. Any help refining would be greatly appreciated.

Long time brewer, first time cider maker. I'll looking for feedback from those that have made cider, using campden tablets. Here's my sequence so far: Friday 7:00PM - into 5 gallon untreated cider added Qty. 5 campden tablets (uncrushed, didn't know) & 2.5 tsp pectic enzyme. OG 1.052...

As a Fall 1st annual tradition now that I have a keg setup and can back sweeten to my wife's desired level, I would like to make a cider sourcing from a local to Milwaukee apple orchard or within reasonable driving distance. Does any one know of an orchard that will sell a 5 gallon batch worth...

Simple poll, although I think those online may not be representative of population. I would have posted in the DIY section, but didn’t think that would yield an accurate answer.

I posted this poll in the all-grain section and it's clear that it's not getting an appropriate representation of the extract brewing population. Therefore, I’m making a second post here that my get better visibility regarding extract brewers. If you posted in the other post PLEASE AVOID...

Hello all, feed my inquisitiveness . . . how many all-grainers do we have and how do you do things?

So I'm looking at Craig's List for workbenches, with the intention to conversion to a brew stand. It really seems to be the way to go. It's often cheaper buying a used bench steel bench than buying the material. Then there's the time savings starting with a structure and repurposing. So...

So I've been using the online EZ Water Calculator tool http://www.ezwatercalculator.com/. The tool uses inputs such as: distilled water volume, additional water source (with water profile entry), grain bill and, salt and other additions. I logically get this working with full volumes such as...

So I'm in the middle of upgrading from mostly extract brewing to this point, one BIAB, to an AG HERMS setup. I really enjoy building as much as brewing, plus building works because my system desires exceed my piggy bank. Anyways, I'm halfway done on the mash tun build and I just finished the...

So last night I soldered a couple bulkheads into my HLT, soldering from the inside. This morning I see that the bulkhead side that's deeper into the HLT, which has lower visibility did not fully melt. The bulkhead is pressed in, so there is good shelf for the solder to sit in. Can I clean...

I'm by no means a sparky or a guy that does well will control systems, mechanical engineer. I have let the electrical engineers design the black box far too long without understanding. Are there any step by step "how to" on making a basic propane control system? I have a preference if the...

Working on a Wookey Jack clone recipe, which I think I’ll do a 30 min hop stand for. How are you guys estimating your IBUs doing a hop stand? Since FW lists Wookey at 80 IBU, I’m going to target close to that (perhaps drop Magnum to 1oz). Here is my hop bill and BeerSmith numbers: 1.25oz...

Kinda a rookie project next to the outstanding creations others post on here. However, still proud. Today I started building my mash tun, which will have a manifold, sparge arm and I'll also be adding a Brewmometer. Using a Coleman Xtreme 36-quart Cooler. Here's the mockup of the manifold...
