Hello, I searched around but couldn’t find a thread that fit, so I am going to just ask the general public and see if anyone knows anything about this topic: I currently have a panel that powers my 2 Vessel no-Sparge setup, it is this panel...

Alright, I have searched but I can't find the answer: I am looking to buy some plastic conicals that will fit nicely into my fermentation chamber. I am looking to move to a cip system for them. However, the chamber is on the opposite wall from my brewing area. I am looking to hard-plumb tubing...

Hey guys, been working on this for quite some time, but it is far enough along now that it might make for an interesting diy read: That's how it started. Wood pile. But after some framing: Side 1 done! Now moving on to the other half of the "L". Presto! I sized the holes for the...

Hi, I just came back from Italy and we bought a really cool spoon rest that has dried wheat and other organics encased in resin - I had the thought that this would be a really cool way to do some tap handles with grains and hops encased in the resin. THEN I had the thought that you could...

There are a few pumpkin taps out there to buy, and they are actually pretty cool, but there seems to be tons and tons of them made, so I decided to make my own :) sharing... Not bad for a Dremel and a jig saw I think... The handle will get an ebony stain as will the pumpkin stem. The...

Hey team! My wife is turning 30 in February and I am brewing her a Chinook+Nelson+Ace Sorachi IPA on Thursday. I made up a label for the event (haven't made a label in a while). The story is: We were playing Taboo and the word "happy" came up, and the person talking said, "what you do...

Ok, so I have salvaged parts from my failed countertop Brutus system to make a new system, but I am not sure if this will work. My goal is to avoid using an hlt, but if I am right, I don't need it: I want to heat water for the mash, pump in the mash water, stir and allow the mash to settle. I...

Hello once again! I need some help figuring out how you all connect your CFCs to your boil kettles and other brewing hardware. The how-tos for most of the CFCs recommend a 3/8 inner copper tubing (which I have already done), but that creates a 3/8 connection from my kettle to my CFC and a 3/8...

I have been trying to complete my electric brewery over the last two days and I am not having a whole lot of success. I am using all weldless fittings. My water heater element really seemed to struggle with leaks - I may have finally fixed that issue, but when I potted my element with jb weld...

Hi guys, so I have been piecing together this jockey box over the last few months and the party I built it for is Saturday. Well my barb fittings for my gas lines are too small for my lines. What do you think, if I slide the hose directly over the threads on my quick disconnect and clamp it...

Hi guys and gals! So I proposed in May and ever since have been hard at work planning an engagement party and wedding. Of course, I wanted to create all barley beverages for said events, and with that comes the need for new serving equipment :mug: One beer grew to two beers which grew into three...

:( Well, I tried my scottish ale today and things are not looking good. Before, I had a problem with the fermentation at 9 days in I was still very high on gravity. Today when I tried it, I took my sample, found the beer at 1.016 and had a sigh of relief that the fermentation had indeed...

So looking for a bit of feedback on this beer... I have a Scottish Ale that I am pretty sure I just crippled. The beer had been fermenting about 10 days and was at 1.030 at 5 days, at 9 days it had moved to 1.027. I went ahead and transferred it to a secondary. My reason for doing this was...

Hello, I am hoping I can get some ideas for what to do with this beer: I brewed a new Rye IPA recipe a few weeks ago, I have transferred it to the keg, hooked it up to my system, pulled the lever and... NOTHING. I can hear the gas going in and I can relieve pressure from the top, so I...

Hello, So I finally had some time off work today and I wanted to brew a beer. I was kind of looking at brewing two and I was interested in the parti gyle technique, but I wanted to add grain to the mash before doing the second beer - I don't know the name for this particular technique so I...

Hello, I am brewing a simple APA to be used as a house ale. I would appreciate feedback on the recipe. I was looking for a good amount of hop flavor, medium bitterness, and a subdued malt flavor. Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Batch Size: 5.50 gal Boil Size...

So the laws that I have found mandate that a brewpub produce at least 100 barrels of beer per year. Is there another type of licence that allows brewpubs to produce less than 100 barrels per year, for instance, if you wanted novelty beer products on tap from time to time, but without the ability...

So I am currently working on a recipe based largely on Edwort's Bee Cave Brewery Rye IPA. What I really want to create is a beer similar to a Rye IPA being brewed at Alpine brewery near me here in San Diego. I figure that Edwort's Rye would be a good base, so I emailed the brewer asking what...

Hi, Are there any Southern California/San Diego brewers that have tried to brew a Karl Strauss - Woodie Gold clone? I layed out a design for it, and everything matches except for the calories that are supposed to be in the 12oz serving. Official beer stats are: SRM: 6 IBUs: 19 ABV: 4.6...

Hi, So this is my first recipe formulation attempt. I pulled the general averages to shoot for from Designing Great Beers. Here is the recipe I am working with for a brew in 2 - 3 days. Barley Wine Batch Size: 2.5 gal Boil Time: 90 min OG Est.: 1.111 FG Est.: 1.035 IBUs: 77.6...
