Hi all! Been inactive a while. My wife and I built a house and moved in this past May, and are expecting our first child in December so things have been hectic. I wanted to start this post as my personal journal for this basement brewery build. I’ll update it as work gets completed but I don’t...

I’ve been using my stainless anvil brew bucket for a while now. After every fermentation, I’ll fill it up with a warm oxyclean solution and let it sit for a bit and then scrub it. It’s to the point now where there is some brown residue from fermentation that I just can’t scrub off. Last time I...

Any brewers here on Peloton? JordanLBrews - Add me if so!

Hey guys, I have two grainfathers anticipating I would be using both of them but I really only use the one. I have a brand new Grainfather unit still in original packaging with the new connect controller. This is missing the counterflow chiller though. Looking for $650, not willing to ship...

Didn’t see an official thread for this yet so figured I’d start one for folks to discuss. Judging starts the 18th I believe and deadline for shipping/dropping off is the 12th. Who all has entries in this? Only entered one as I’m shipping from Ohio. They finally arrived at Vegas Homebrew today.

Releases tomorrow, finally! Might be one of my favorite beers of all time. I apologize to my wallet in advance.

Credit to my LHBS for putting this together. I used to clean my tap lines with co2 and then when they released this, I immediately bought the parts and have been using it ever since with good results. I'm not affiliated with the LHBS in any way but this has been encouraging me to clean my lines...

Hey guys. Just received my ward labs report back. I’ve read through a lot of threads and watched videos and think I have a decent grasp on things but still wanted to see if you guys could verify. After inputting it in Bru’n water and entering my pale ale grain bill and water volumes, I got my...

This is definitely out of my "normal" post, but I feel like it's a podcast episode worth listening to. A long time friend of the basic brewing podcast shares his story about recovering from an alcohol addiction. Link to the podcast

I’m planning a lineup of kettle sours and am struggling to find the frozen pink guava purée in my area. Might be a little easier once I can casually browse the grocery stores again but anyways. I bought 4 pounds of these fresh guavas from Walmart and I’m going to cut them up and freeze them and...

Applications for entries open at 10 MT (12pm EST) today. I’m going to try and get a couple entries in this year. Good luck to all!

Hi guys. Purchased my first home about two years ago and never really paid attention to this until recently since I got a dog and he’s been playing around it. I have two of these pipes raises out of the ground in my back yard. Can anyone tell me what they are? I’m pretty clueless so I would...

Saw someone post this on Facebook earlier. While supplies last..It's a local-ish store to me so not sure how shipping is. https://labelpeelers.com/beer-making/grains/briess/briess-pale-malt-2-row-50-lb/ https://labelpeelers.com/briess-pilsen-malt-50-lb/ Cheers!

I didn't see a thread specifically about this years competition, so I figured I would make one and try to keep discussion all in one place. I applied for 2 entries this year, and this will be my first time entering. I plan on stewarding the Cleveland judging as well. Good luck to everyone!

Grain: 4 # 2 row 0.25 # Caramel/Crystal 15 Hops: 0.5 oz East Kent Golding at 60 minutes Yeast: 1/2 packet of Safale US-05 Fruit: Rack onto 3# store bought sour tart cherries for a week or so. This is a super simple and cheap recipe. Easy drinking with light fruit flavor. This is also a 2.5...

I want to use the attached temp controller for my old mini fridge to use as a temp controller. What would be the best method to do so? Build a project box with the two outlets for heating and cooling and just plug it into that? I'm used to inkbird plug and plays but figured I want to utilize...

I purchased a Speidel 60L from morebeer and went to transfer my Oktoberfest today. I used 1/2" ID tubing I had laying around and it seemed to fit pretty loose so I switched the transfer to my autosiphon because I saw a lot of air bubbles in the line. What size tubing are you guys using to...

Finally built a keezer with a 5 cu ft Haier HF50CM23NW. I can fit two 5 gallon ball locks, a 2.5 gallon ball lock and my co2 tank on the inside with a 2x6 collar. Still need to get a drip tray, but I'm happy with the end result!

Looking for some insight! I bought my house in the fall of last year and didn't had this issue.. Now this summer, we have had mushrooms popping up in a small section of our front yard as the sun sets. Usually 5-10 at a time. I pick them right away and used over the counter spray stuff from...

We have a huge local competition every year called Son Of Brewzilla. I usually just enter what I have kegged/bottled at the time but wondering if I should change my approach as I want to enter for the sole purpose of winning this year. Just curious how other people approach this.
