THOUGHT? a laptop/desktop pc with brew recipe that "times" and dumps sequential temperatures to a controller, beeping alerting you to add "hops" or other ingredients. Simple Visual basic program I can do in a day. I really don't need all the solenoid valves, pumps, exchangers.. just a simple job...

My electric kettle is insulated, that is good, keeps the room nice and cool.. BUT.. cooling the wort down after the boil I am having some difficulty. THE insulation holds in the heat while I am trying to cool. I have a 25 foot 3/8" home made copper coil for a wort chiller. I thought about...

Yesterday I Brewed "dark prinz" from "Adventures in Homebrewing", a coffee-chocolate stout.. I like it. Grain left over, I took a 1 cup, added it to a Duncan Hines devils food cake mix. On the back it says 1/2 cup of oil, 3 eggs, 1 1/3rd cup water (I did 1 cup water), mix two minutes...

I started out weaving a Macrame rope sling to put this into, worked on it for about 15 minutes then slung it down in disgust at my lack of artistic skill. After I cleaned my 6.5 gallon carboy, I walked through, noticed a empty milk crate I had something in, it exactly fits.. It'd be real easy...

DOC SEWS insulated pads. I hired him to make me a insulator wrap to go around my keg cooker, which is also my mash tun, which is also my hot-water pot. I am sure others here need these also. This fabric is white, it was a custom order for something else, anything else "in stock" is grey...

Craigslist $75 freezer, with Help here figuring out the STC1000 I changed the thermostat. Stuck my 2 corny kegs in, chilled them, one keg is close to ripe and I've only drank half of it now. Lid, I had a few pieces of Mirror stainless, was supposed to be motel-prison saftey mirrors. This...

Hi. I just ordered a STC 1000. http://www.tradeger.co.za/pdf/stc1000_operating_manual.pdf (edit) found the pdf operational manual there, it seems to contradict what I read on another interpretation of "chinglish" translation. Please read and confirm this unit's contacts rating can handle your...

I had a sixpack of Karjala delivered by a Finnish blond, was the best beer I ever had in my life. Ended up married to her, but she was allergic to everything but the snow, she had to go home. Anyone got a clone recipe?? (please) If I have to put in refrigeration for the ferment, all is still...

I have been traveling to a local Spring, getting the water to brew with. The ph is lower, the mineral content is higher, over several days it starts "changing" since there is no preservatives in it (chlorine, flouride) and "black lumps come out and settle". (bought two 15 gallon hdpe...

I am trying to figure this out, my wheat beer, followed a trick I used on a all barley grain beer, during the secondary ferment I added a simple-sugar brown sugar and more yeast. It tasted good, hoppy, then a week later I force kegged it heavy (100psi) 48hrs, then bottled it, we (my wife and...

Using a Honeywell Furnace control valve, has the LP kit with the orifice and spring adjustor, this one runs on 24vac to turn on and off, has a thermopile to detect flame, has a pilot light tube, requires a external regulator to reduce incoming gas pressure to 3psi. HOW IT WORKS, when you turn...

My auto-siphon has jumped out of the receiver twice now and sprayed my legs with beer while pumping the last lil bit from the carboy. (made me mad) I made this today, a drilled stopper with a "smaller" air hole, T-boned so I can stick a 1/4" nytube in the side and "blow on it" to pressurize...

Modified to use Local brands, From Beverage world Ft O Ga.. Turned out great, light blond, I bottled it in Corona bottles after shooting a keg with C02 and fast carbonating it. All these hillbillies around here think it is Corona.. it is better. My first All grain brew, I'll see if I can...

What I have done, used these in Powder coat ovens, heaters, rod ovens and now a keg cooker. Before a $7 oven element (4200 watts) is heated it is flexible, you can straighten it out, and reshape it. Keep it from touching itself thou or it will be a hot spot. I looked at the keg, it is made to...

Cut the cardboard template out, fit it to the old stem that came out of the keg cooker, traced the cardboard template with the plasma cutter, made a nice stainless paddle. THEN attempted to tig weld it in, (failure) Old man's shaky hands and bad eyesight today.. so I got out the mig welder and...

6-1-2013 Hi Guys, I'm still at the novice stage, learning what works and what don't. North Georgia, small fab shop here, I dabble in old Harleys and old vehicles. Can't quit modifying things to suit myself and the way I think they should work. Back before health forced retirement, I was...
