I looked around online but couldn't find exactly what I'm after. I have a Spike CF10, and the placement of the thermowell port makes it so that if my yield is slightly under 5 gallons, the thermowell sits right at the liquid line, making readings inconsistent, especially when cooling. Has anyone...

50"x24"x35"(h) Has a few dents on the top surface, and a little scuffed on the legs and throughout, but otherwise very solid and sturdy. I used it as a brew lab table for years. Sorry for the terrible photos, but I literally have no where else to put it to get nicer pics. 🙃 $70 Pickup only in...

I just brewed a chicha style beer with 55% malted corn, 34% pilsner malt, and 11% torrified wheat, with 7 gal in the kettle pre-boil. Brewing software calculated a pre-boil gravity of 1.044, and a SG of 1.050 This is my first time working with malted corn so this could be a process issue, but my...

I've been growing a centennial for years now, but I'll be honest and say I don't have much of a green thumb. I usually get decent yields from it, but every year it produces cones in sections at very different rates of maturation. Towards the top will start producing early June, and by mid August...

Looking for textured labels for my bottles, similar to what some wine bottles have. They aren't necessarily water resistant, but I am going for that papery look and feel, no gloss. If there are any natural wine heads out there, you probably know the kind of label I'm talking about. Usually...

Going to be in London for a day in June, obviously need to find a good pub. Any suggestions for one's that are particularly known for the quality of their cask ales? Also, any other beer related must-do's are welcome!

Just looking for suggestions if anyone has some sort of drip tray or pan they use under their fermenters. Mainly for when I am taking samples and spraying out the valve with ISO afterwards, it's starting to stain my floor. I have a Spike CF10, so it would need to fit that footprint with a bit...

Brewed a belgian saison a couple weeks ago, Safale BE-134 was the yeast of choice. Undershot the OG, ended up being 1.042, so I only used 1 packet of yeast assuming this would be sufficient. Aiming for 72°, but I am currently troubleshooting an issue with my fermentation temp controller...

Hoping to get some ideas of where to start troubleshooting. I'm just going to post everything I'm doing to help get a sense of where to begin looking. I am trying to cold crash in my Spike CF10 with their temp control coil and a DIY glycol chiller I've built. Glycol temp is set to 28° F. The...

Hoping I can get some help troubleshooting an issue with my efficiency. I having brewed on this system in a while, so I am still working out some kinks. 3 vessel E-HERMS system, I use Brewer's Friend for calculations, just brewed a saison and my OG is lower than expected. According to the...

I am putting the final touches on a pot filling wand, I have a copper pipe supplying some tubing, into a stainless tube bent to allow it to sit at the edge of a pot. My thought was that the bend would keep it from falling off the edge when filling, but I didn't account for the water pressure...

I put hard in quotes as I don't need everything to be stainless fittings and pipe, but I wanted to figure out a way to have all my hose connections in place where I can direct wort flow with valves instead of disconnecting and moving them around the ports on the system like a switchboard. End...

In the process of building out a new brewing space, floor to ceiling subway tile behind my system. Anyone have recommendations on ways to mount light-weight things to tile that could one day be removed? (really don't want to drill any holes) Mainly want to mount clips to route my control panel...

I've been thinking about switching from my DIY window unit hacked glycol chiller, mainly after realizing that I am spending a fortune on glycol to fill the reservoir every year for maintenance, needing about 4 gal glycol to 8 gal water to fully submerge the A/C's coils. After looking at a few...

Anyone using steam condensers experiencing an issue with hop debris coating the entire exposed interior of their kettles when the lid is on? I've dialed in my boil to be at about 25-30% power on my electric kettle, giving me a nice simmer, not an aggressive boil. Because the lid is on and...

I used these corks from MoreBeer recently, bottling in the Belgian bottles they sell as well, and using a floor corker. I was having the hardest time pushing these things in, the corker even shaving off a tiny bit of the bottom before eventually squeezing through. I managed to get the depth just...

Currently growing a few varieties on a 14" vertical trellis, and they have already surpassed the top! In the past, I've just let them keep growing up and eventually back down, tangling with the rest of them. This year id really like to keep the varieties as separate as possible to isolate them...

Thinking about an upgrade to a plate chiller, and just wanted some thoughts on a 10 plate vs anything larger. My LHBS has a 10 plate on sale right now, hence the debate. I like how low profile it is compared to my counterflow chiller, and I am not really worried about hop clogging since I use a...

I picked up a used Portuguese floor corker in excellent condition, and used it for the second time with Belgian corks and Belgian 16oz bottles (first time was with wine corks and wine bottles, worked perfectly). With the corks being significantly wider, I expected it would take a bit more force...

Looking for some advice on a build I'll be working on soon. The goal is to construct a bar with DIY kegerator built in. I've seen a lot of builds of a basic bar with a standard chest freezer kegerator that slips in underneath, feeding the tap tower above, but what I want to do is have the...
