    For Sale Complete electric 2-tier system, HERMS capable [Maine]

    Complete, turn-key, 2-tier electric brewery for all-grain brewing. HERMS capable - I've brewed one batch since adding HERMS to it and it went surprisingly well. This is a low-tech, non-automated system, but it still works great. 2-tier stand made from industrial shelving - breaks down for...

    New Homebrew Group/Club for Midcoast

    There's MALT which kind of started out of the now-closed brew shop in Farmingdale, but now sometimes meets at Richmond homebrew supply, and other places around Augusta/Gardiner. I live in Brunswick and there are no other groups or clubs around that I'm aware of.

    Maine Blichmann Therminator, Thrumometer and Beer Gun

    A couple of people have asked for photos so I'll post some tonight. Had it a year or so. It's obviously used but in fine working condition.

    Maine Blichmann Therminator, Thrumometer and Beer Gun

    Therminator: Includes backflush hose, L-bracket, female-female adapter, NPT barb, manual (does not include quick-disconnects shown). I added a layer of PlastiDip to make it easier to grip without getting cut, but it can be peeled off if you want to bake it. I cleaned with a multiple soak &...

    Can you vacuum degas wine in a Speidel?

    Thinking about getting a couple of Speidel fermenters. I like to degas using my vacuum sealer and am wondering if people have tried that with their Speidels and had any luck. Better Bottles definitely don't work. Thanks, Jim

    Exhaust hood idea: blue tarp & pvc. Thoughts?

    Towards the end of the boil, I've gotten some dripping where steam has condensed on the duct. I wonder if the larger fan would move more air and avoid that or if there's an inherent flaw in the design. I might put a lip around the duct where it enters the hood to start with.

    Exhaust hood idea: blue tarp & pvc. Thoughts?

    Here it is, in place: Turned out to be a little overkill as my brew kettle ended up right under the window. But I had to do it . . . Collapses to almost nothing. For just the brew kettle, I built a square frame. I then cut a square from the tarp, after figuring out how much...

    Exhaust hood idea: blue tarp & pvc. Thoughts?

    Need to grab some pics, but I brewed with my tarp hood this weekend. Expenses went something like this: 1. Tarp: $3.99 at Harbor Freight. Couldn't get in early enough to get a free one. 2. Scrap 2x4: Free. Had some laying around so skipped the PVC. 3. Gorilla Tape: $5. Hoping it holds...

    Exhaust hood idea: blue tarp & pvc. Thoughts?

    Picking up a free tarp tonight with one of Harbor Freight's coupons. This thing is just getting cheaper and cheaper. I don't have the fan yet, but with a rainy weekend I plan to build up all but the fan and report back.

    Induction kettle reviews/suggestions wanted

    Yes - finding lots of info on the "cheaper" various heavy duty pots and the Bayou, even older megapots. Would like to know more about the MegaPot 1.2 and bru-gear. More googling . . .

    Exhaust hood idea: blue tarp & pvc. Thoughts?

    Interesting. I was thinking I'd mount the fan to the hood, so it would be vertical. With flexible duct, I could basically build a trap for any condensation by just letting it sag. With rigid duct, I would slope it downhill to my window. The other way is to mount the fan away from the hood...

    Exhaust hood idea: blue tarp & pvc. Thoughts?

    Another benefit I was thinking of. I'd use flexible duct to connect the fan to my window, so it can all come down and pack away easily.

    Induction kettle reviews/suggestions wanted

    Right - specifically looking at the tri-ply, which by all accounts is induction-friendly.
