This COVID-19 time at home had me cleaning in the garage next to my old 18cuFt kegerator fridge. My wife has also been asking when I'm going to start brewing again too. I haven't brewed in maybe 5 yrs now, but was in St Louis, MO and there was a strong homebrewing community there and there...

Thanks for the welcome! We're still unpacking, but I did get into the garage a couple of nights ago and at least organize the brew stuff into it's own pile. I'd definitely be up for a beer at some point... Found my flasks and stir plates, got the kegerator setup, fermentation fridge pulled...

Thanks for the info!

My family is relocating to Lexington SC this July. Is there an active homebrew club in the Columbia/Lexington area? I was going to ask at a local place a couple of weeks ago when we were down there. We stopped by the Hopyard home brew shop next to the Old Mill brew pub and it was out of...

Today seemed like a good day to post up what my results were. I dry hopped with an additional 2 oz of leaf belma hops for 10 days. Now that it is carbonated and chilled in the keg, there is an orange aroma and taste. The flavor/aroma is there, but it doesn't have the nose or taste that a...

I am in the process of transferring mine to secondary now. I'm going to ask the guy I got the hops from for some to dry hop my amber with. After tasting what I pulled for the gravity reading, the bitterness is smooth, but my recipe was hop-bursted. I the taste and aroma seem more like a...

Here's the recipe for the American Amber hop bursted with Belma 5.5 gal, 83% eff. 68% 2-row 20% Munich 10% crystal 120 2% crystal 80 For the hops I divided the 2 oz I had into 4,1/2 oz portions I'm brewing this now and plan on using them at 30, 20, 10, and 1 minute. Yeast, S-05...

I recieved 2oz from a guy at work that ordered some. I'm going to do a hop bursted (30 min +) American Amber with it tomorrow. I'll let you know how it comes out in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the help on the link. I considered those, but bought this instead to fix it with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JYM2ZY I drilled a hole in the right spot, soldered on a extra lead wire for the led and now it works as it did before. Except now, the plate isn't hot where...

I wanted to let those following this that I put a few, new, white shop rags in the carboy with some dish soap and about a galon and a half of water in the carboy. After 5 minutes of swrilling it every which way the marks were gone.

I have two of the Corning PC 353 stir plates. One of the speed controllers for the plates is going out and I need a replacement. The motor is a 115v 60cy .29a, 1550 rpm motor. The speed controller on this looks like a huge pot resistor. Any idea where I can get a replacement for this...

I've got 2 older Corning PC 353 stirplates. One has started to loose it's ability to control the speed of the motor. The slowest speed is not slow anymore, it's spinning about where other stir plate is at 75% power. Any thoughts on where I can get replacement parts for this? Maybe a...

Glass. At first I thought it was hard water deposits, but now I'm leaning toward plastic marks from the brush. I'm worried that I may not be able to clean them off the glass.

One of my carboys has white streaks in it, I'm assuming it's from the carboy brush after a vigorous cleaning. I've tried oxy-clean, vinegar and starsan rinses, 24hr or more each to remove them and they are still there. Any thoughts on a good method to clean the marks out of the carboy...

I just opened my new gallon of starsan and poured an ounce to sterilize a carboy and noticed that it had a clumpy viscosity. When I mixed in the water it was instantly milky. I've been using using starsan for 4 years now and I've never seen this happen with starsan before Has anyone had a...

Thanks. The regulator setup is sort of custom. I got them from sciplus.com a couple of years ago when there was a post about them. I pieced them together with parts from mcmastercarr, hd, lowes and ace hardware...depending on what I was near on my lunch break from work at the time or my...

i just got this together. I had a keezer, but turned it into a fermentation chamber. I'm working on a chalkboard for the freezer door today. and here is a pic of the inside, I still have to add a 1.5" piece of 1x at the top of the door to shut off the light when I close the door, but I'd...

I would describe it as detaching from the metal on the keg. It is pretty stuck to the rubber peices, but that is only half of what I needed it to do.
