I was just given the Grain Gobbler with stainless hopper from morebeer as a gift! The reviews for this mill are a bit mixed. Does anyone have one? I am particularly concerned about connecting it to a power drill. One reviewer said he stripped the threads fairly quickly. I would love to...

I want to make some thin strip labels like Pretty Things uses over their caps. I don't own a printer, so ideally this would be something I can have printed for me. All I can find are more rectangular labels around 1"x3.5", these are more like 0.75"x6". I suppose I would settle for 1.5"x6"...

Hey everyone, I have been asking around trying to find someone in the central NH (Concord/Manchester) area to help me convert a rubber covered sanke keg that I have into an electric HLT without success. I don't have access to the tools or expertise to do it myself. I just need help with the...

Greetings! I have had this plastic (rubber?) covered keg in my possession for a few years: A while back I removed the spear and used it to ferment 10 gallon batches, which worked fine, but I realized I'd rather use it as an electric HLT if possible. Has anyone worked with a keg like...

I have 60+ empty beer bottles for sale. Most are 22oz with labels removed. I had planned on using them for homebrewing, but since I started kegging I very rarely bottle. I'm asking $10 for everything, local exchange only. I live in Hooksett and commute to the seacost, so anywhere in...

I had 5 gallons of cider pressed this weekend, which is naturally fermenting as we speak. I have been reading a lot about spontaneous fermentation of cider, and how the natural yeast on the apple is why it works. Does anyone know why yeast is naturally present on apple skins?

Greetings! It's cider/apple season in New England, and I'm looking for feedback on whether this is a good idea or not... I'm planning to brew the Arrogant Bastard clone in the recipes section this weekend. I batch sparge, so first and second runnings would go towards the AB. I am...

Hey everyone. My turkey fryer has been left outside a few too many times, and I'm starting to worry about the condition of the hose. It looks like it's cracking in a few spots. Here is the hose and regulator: You can see where I put electrical tape on some of the cracks. I've looked at...

Currently I have one corny keg, but will be ordering more soon. This means I will need to split up my CO2 distribution. All of the pre-made CO2 manifolds I'm seeing online seem online seem really expensive. I came across this guy's keezer a while back. His manifold is definitely DIY, and...

I have the opportunity to buy a 20 lb CO2 tank for $60 off of craigslist. I'm completely new to kegging, so I was wondering, is there anything I should look for or check before handing over the cash? Thanks!

I've been searching, but I can't find anyone who has coverted an upright frigidaire freezer to a keezer/kegerator. Someone is selling one on my local CL for a good price. I'm planning on taking a look tomorrow, but maybe someone here can save me some time if they know these freezers won't...

In hopes of hitting my strike and mash temps more accurately, I want to add a thermometer to my coleman xtreme 62 quart MLT. I see many people using the digital cooking thermometers with a probe, but I'm wondering if something permanently mounted in the cooler wall would be better? I saw...

I just wanted to make a post covering my ordering experience with coppertubingsales.com, and the building of my immersion chiller. I placed my order for 50' of 3/8" copper tubing on Monday morning for a total of $46.37 including shipping. The tubing arrived yesterday via DHL. Here is the...

I have recently had the good fortune of coming across a 5 gallon sanke keg. I know I saw someone on this board who had been using one as a secondary fermenter, but of course I forget who. I'm assuming if I find the right size rubber stopper I can just drill a hole, pop it in with an airlock...

So I'm close to starting my first AG, I have one last question. When accounting for lower efficiency by adding more grain (I set my efficiency level to 60% in promash, which people seem to recommend for your first AG), do you: a) Add the necessary amount of extra water? or b) Add the same...

So I'm planning on brewing Ed Wort's haus pale ale for my first all grain batch. As I try to understand the math behind everything, I get stuck on the strike temperature. I plan on batch sparging just as Ed describes in the recipe. However, when I plug what I think are valid values into the...

So a few weeks ago I mentioned to my brother-in-law that I was on the lookout for a keg to use as a brew kettle. He suggested I take a look at a used oil drum from his shop. I figured it couldn't hurt, so here we are: At first glance, the dimensions are perfect for my turkey fryer...

I'm considering trying to grow my own hops this year. I'm aware of which insects are a threat to hop bines, but what animals? I read somewhere that squirrels will eat the cones? Where I live squirrels are everywhere, so if this is true, I might have to reconsider. Thanks!

I hope this is the right place for this, since there isn't a "deals" forum, but I just came across this deal on a coleman 62 qt cooler from sears, only $19.97! Coleman sells it for $72.99 on their website, insanity! I ordered one and opted for in-store pickup, so no shipping! I can't wait...

I have one of Rogue's ceramic bottles (the RIS, fantastic!), and after searching this and other home brew sites I still can't find much information on them. They look like this just in case there's any confusion: Are they completely ceramic? Someone suggested they are glass on the...
