    What 2015 BJCP Category should i enter this in...

    We brewed up a milk stout with an off-the-shelf breakfast cereal (mostly added to the mash but also added some to the boil). This is a sugary sweet kiddie cereal (Reese's Puffs) - not an "adult" cereal. We're thinking about entering it in a contest but have no idea what category to enter it in...

    Stir Plate / Heat Plate

    After a year or so of semi-loyal service my home-made computer-fan stir plate seems to be on it's last leg. Rather than cobble another one together I was thinking I might spring for a commercially made one. While looking on eBay I noticed that a lot of the ones made for laboratory work also...

    Creating a whirlpool vessel

    We're using a three keggle eHERMS system. In an effort to maximize yield, I built it so that the diptube in the boil kettle draws from the little concave section in the center of the bottom of the keg. This unfortunately precludes us from whirl-pooling (all the hop gunk builds up right on top of...

    Reverse Osmosis: To DI or not to DI?

    I'm sure this has been covered already somewhere but I wasn't able to find the answer so hopefully someone can help. I just bought an RO system which has a bypassable DI stage. As the very scant instruction sheet says, "Blue Tube is for the drinking water. White Tube is your DI water." I bought...

    Which styles do you find age well - which don't?

    My wife and I have been brewing about a year and a half now and have done somewhere around 38 batches in that time. I've got a goodly amount of beer on hand from last year (we kind of went crazy brewing nearly every weekend last summer!) and have been finding that some are tasting really nice...

    Keezer Question

    I've been looking around at some of the keezer projects in the forum and online and have noticed that most people do not insulate their collars. I was thinking it would be easy to cut some Styrofoam insulation boards into strips and attach them to the inside of the collar for added efficiency...

    Switched from droid to iPhone - need app advice

    So I've just made the switch from a Droid to an iPhone (God I hated my Samsung Droid - couldn't make or receive calls from inside pretty much *any* building!) and am finding that the brewing apps I used on the Droid aren't available in the i-world. So I could use some advice on what apps to get...

    Sight Glass in Mash Tun?

    I'm in the planning process for a single tier, 3-keggle eHERMS build and could use a bit (well, actually, a ton of) advice. I was planning on putting sight glasses on all three vessels but just got to thinking, is it pointless (and possibly even a really bad idea) to put one on the MLT? I would...

    HERMS Question

    So here's a question that might require a bit of speculation. I'm just starting to plan and acquire parts for an eHERMS Keggle system I'm hoping to build. Basically I've got two kegs so far and I ordered this stainless wort chiller which I hope to repurpose as my HERMS coil...

    Antique Clothes Washer Wringer --> Grain Mill?

    My wife & I have been brewing for about 5 or 6 months now and have found lots of info and answers on this forum. But it's finally time to post because I'm not seeing this question/idea addressed anywhere. I have access to an old antique washing machine - the kind with the roller/wringer thing...
