I'm looking for a used Greenlee Punch if anyone is parting with one. Shipping to Nevada. Cheers, AlfA

Hello Fellow Brewers! I struggled with chisels, hammers and screwdrivers to break the torque on various commercial keg couplers. One day I met my match. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get one of the kegs open. I decided to make an improvised keg tool. I thought I'd share my...

Hello HBT DIY'ers, I'm looking for a little help with wiring this analog style temp control. I have my theories about how to wire it, but I wanted to see if anyone might have some technical input to offer. I want to use this to control a fermentation chamber during the winter months. It...

I had collected some parts and scraps from other projects and decided to put together a chiller. This is the same style as Jaded Brewing makes, but with my own little patents to 'AlfAfy' it. Check out the pics and tell me what you think. Don't criticize the dirty old water tubes, I...

Hi guys! Starting to place some orders for getting my big BIAC system in order. I've spent the past months acquiring parts and getting my electric control panel in order...now, I'm ready to start working on my grain basket. Anyone have recommendations on the size of SS screen/mesh to use...

Hi All! I've noticed a trend in my last couple of brews. During the summer months I can't get liquid yeast shipped due to the high attrition rates related to hot temps and long shipping times. Therefore, when brewing during the summer months, I usually pitch rehydrated dry yeast. I don't...

Anyone use amalyse enzyme as an additive during mash to convert starches in unmalted grains such as corn? I have some from BSG products that I ordered for distilling. Malted corn is a staple in some distilling recipes, however, not so easy to come by all the time. I've used corn meal and...

Hello Everyone. As some of you know, my wife and I have come into a hotel venture in Greece. We are hoping to incorporate our homebrewing efforts and passions. Anyway, during our explorations of the basement and storage sheds, we've found at least five Cornelius keg refrigeration and...

Cheers Everyone, My wife and I have recently (by way of inheritance, lawyers and court) come into a hotel on the Greek island of Evia. The place needs a lot of work and money, but since we're masochistic enough to take it on, we're setting off to try our hand in the tourism business...

I found a guy that is selling serviceable kegs, but I'm not familiar with the design. Anyone which style these are? I want to start getting some stuff together for kegging, but would actually like to have all the parts and taps on-hand before I purchase the kegs. Cheers, Dan

What beer would aliens drink? We know that the Greek and Egyptian, even Sumarian gods drank wine. If the gods were to drink a beer....what would it be? Cheers, AlfA01

Guys, I wanted to link my post in the Newbie forum here to see if the other guys out there have some feedback as well. My apologies for any duplicates. Check the link here Cheers, Dan AlfA01

Anyone have a good AG recipe for Molson Canadian or Labatt's Blue? Two of my top fifteen beers. I used to be able to buy these on the military bases when I was in the service. Over here in Greece they are pretty much unheard of. I'd love to have a batch of these to take fishing during...

Just brewed a batch of all-grain Indiana Ale from BrewFerm. I cooled the wort and transferred to a primary and pitched the yeast (short synopsis of the event). I went to bed pretty late after cleaning up. I was a little concerned, and a little curious as to how the yeast would go off. I...

Hello Everyone! My name is Dan and I live in Athens, Greece half of the year and the other half I live on the island of Evia, Greece. My family and I are hoping to make the move to Evia permanently. We are working toward opening a bed and breakfast in a small village near the sea. Our...

Hello Everyone, I was curious to ask if anyone that has traveled abroad and tried Greek beer (either Alfa or Fix) has worked on any clone recipes. I live here and enjoy the beer thoroughly, but would love to see if I can make it at home as well. They are both Lagers, as that seems to be...

Hi everyone! Kind of new brewer here with a little bit of a difficult brew task at hand (well, at least it's puzzling me a bit). I mostly make homemade wine, as I live in Greece and the ease of finding grapes for the wine is very easy, versus finding materials for beer. However, I truly...
