Hi All, I have some various electronic switches and what not from a panel I never finished building. Included is a 30 AMP outlet and plug, a large switch, and a small switch with various configurations that lights up. Individually, these are all pretty expensive. They are all yours for...

Well, I am back. I had to take a couple of years off to evaluate my home brewing hobby. The problem was... I was spending more time and more money building ever more complex brewing systems and the quality of my beer was going down, no up. Also, I was spending 6-7 hours each brew session (start...

Has anyone built a RIMS that uses low-wattage elements running in a series or parallel? It occurred to me that this might be an effective way of running a lot of power for performing quick steps but keeping the element density low.

Folks, I can't seem to get the floral or bitterness out of my Maibocks that should be evident for the style. I am brewing the style using several different recipies (american style using american grains and hops /german style using german grains and hops, etc...) and am always topping out the...

Well, the owner of the local beer and wine gourmet store asked me to come in and start running the beer tastings and do competitive analysis and be the general beer advocate. One of the benefits is free beer. She carries 200 or so beers, most of which are very difficult or impossible to find...

I just measured the inside diameter of the threaded ports of the march pump and they are basically 24/64ths. So - less than the 1/2" ID cam locks and quick disconnects we have been using. I recently did switch to true 1/2" couplings and saw a drastic improvement but I was wondering if you guys...

I've noticed that a lot of posters post repeat questions. It would be an interesting feature of this board to have another frame which would display dynamically display matching threads while the poster is typing [during the creation of a new thread].

Folks, I am trying to purchase a March 150 (not the 809)... I contacted Austin Homebrew but was told by Jon that they cannot get that pump. Also, I need to order a march pump replacement o-ring but cannot find a supplier. Anybody have a bead on a homebrew place that can get these?

I have filtered my beer for the first time and I am AMAZED. I am not usually the filtering type. I use Whirlflock, watch my racking, give my beer extra time to clear naturally and almost always have brilliantly clear beer - at least I thought so. At my last beer club meeting the topic of...

What do brewpubs do with all that spent grain? They rake and clean it out of the mashtun... but then what?

My favorite part of the article: US Weekly magazine printed a report Wednesday alleging that Woods had an affair with Jaimee Grubbs, whom it identified as a 24-year-old cocktail waitress. The magazine also published what it says is a voice mail message from Woods to Grubbs. "Hey, it's...

Hi, I am confused as to what the standing keg pressure should be set to for beer intended for counter-pressure bottle filled. My standard - non Counter Pressure Bottle Filling (CPBF) - process is to force carb for three days @ 30 PSI then drop to my serving pressure... but this doesn't...

Hi All, I am looking for an alternative CO2 regulator pressure adjustment screw. I am referring to the screw that is used to change the pressure. My regulator has a regular screw, which means that anytime I want to change the pressure I need to find a screwdriver, a penny, or whatnot. Does...

I know this is laughable but I thought I would ask it anyway.... Instead of mashing IN the grain, why can't we rinse the sugars and enzymes off/out of the grain after gelatinization and into a secondary pot then do the conversion rests there?

I have an extra 6 pounds of crystal 60 that I need to use... any ideas on the type of beer that would be suitable for that much crystal?

For those of you using 240 volts in your system... The hot element runs from the two hot phases and everything needs to be grounded of course, but what do you do with the neutral that is left from a four-prong plug? Do you simply cap off the wire?

I built an inline sight glass for my RIMS. Mine is built from 316 Stainless but you could easily do this for 1/2 the price using plastic or brass. McMaster-Carr part numbers: 8585K41 8 Ft. Polycarbonate Round Tube, 5/8" Od, 1/2" Id, Clear 5182K814 2 Each Type 316 Ss Yor-lok Tube...
