    Ferm Wrap on Anvil Brewbucket

    I guess the problem is more of aesthetics issue rather than a functional one. I can live with it not fitting perfectly.

    Ferm Wrap on Anvil Brewbucket

    The brewbucket is 7.5 gallons. When I place the fermwrap under the buckle straps and the handles, about an inch of the fermwrap lays on the base of the brewbucket. If the fermwrap can not be cut, then could it be "folded" at the bottom so that it does not lay on the base of the brewbucket? I...

    Ferm Wrap on Anvil Brewbucket

    Just purchased a Ferm Wrap for my Anvil Brewbucket. The fit isn't exact on the brewbucket. If I cut sections of the Ferm Wrap in order to fit the brewbucket (i.e., cuts around the handles, lid snaps and drain) will the Ferm Wrap still work? Are there certain ways in which to cut the Ferm Wrap...

    Odd question about glycol

    I spilled glycol on the driveway when disassembling a commercial cooler over the weekend. The glycol left a large stain on the driveway. Is there a cleaner that can help breakdown the glycol stain?

    I need a glycol chiller

    I'm 95% sure I'm going to buy this: BrewBuilt™ IceMaster Max 4 Glycol Chiller I don't want to wait too long given the weather is heating up and my cooling chamber died on me. Its hard to beat the price which includes the pumps. Anyone want to either encourage me to buy unit or steer me in...

    the BJCP so called certification drives me crazy

    A question was asked as to my motivation in entering beer in competitions. I guess early on it was more about getting feedback but today I would say its mort about supporting my local home brew club through the bottle fees I pay. I truly appreciation the time, effort and resources it takes to...

    the BJCP so called certification drives me crazy

    It drives me crazy when I submit the same beer to two local competitions; each competition within 2 weeks of each other. And, in one competition my average score is 22 and comments say the beer is out of style. And in the other competition, I receive a score of 37 and get a red ribbon. Those...

    Sam Adams and Dogfish Head To "Merge"

    IMHO. Many of the original craft breweries started in the late '70's and '80's who's "David vs Goliath" spunk and vision led them to success and national or regional recognition over the years. However, most of their flagship brands, which got them to the top, have become tiresome and...

    Oddball question...

    I have several corny kegs which are a bit on the older side. They still perform as expected but the rubber collars are slowly breaking down; when lifting the kegs, my hands end up black from the rubber. Is there a product that can seal the rubber?

    Introducing… the Spike FLEX!

    Good point but I use conicals for more controlled fermentations and brew buckets for simple fermentations. I just can't get my head around why I would spend the incremental money to gain features I already have with the conicals. However saying this, I would bet I'll buy one in the coming months.

    Introducing… the Spike FLEX!

    Looks great! I have the Spike 10 gal conical and absolutely love it. But, I need to rationalize in my brain the difference in price between the simple Anvil brew bucket at $135 and the bells and whistles Flex at $250. Just wish Spike to throw out a one time discount for us on the HBT forum as...
