Hey guys, Another post about a new system! This is what I am planning for my next project. I have never set one of these up, but have done a lot of trolling on here! So, the first slide is the plubming. A combination of ball valves and disconnects. I like the idea of one pump and two...

Hey guys, Wifey and I want to make some meads and honey wheats. We have been looking all over for good honey at reasonable prices. We finally found a local bee keeper that sells top notch local honey for $25 a gallon. What kind of prices are others paying?

Hey guys, Quick question. I have a recipe that calls for flaked oats. The oats right now appear to be in a raw state, should they be toasted/baked before I mash them with the rest of my grains. I am a little concerned that my wort will look and feel just like oatmeal if they are not...
