    DIY Double Coil Chiller - Bending 1/2" Copper Tips!?

    I made one once by wrapping the copper around a corney keg, it worked out well. If you gently use the natural bends in the copper you may be able to have both end up in the same spot on the top end. I used ring clamps to keep them together from the top of the coil. Good luck!

    Bow hunters out there?

    Check eBay on really weird dates and times-- I scored a Matthews Crewd on New Years Eve for $300 But I previously hunted with a $150 bass pro 50# setup for years and took many deer. It's not the bow in my book, it's the hunter. Practice with what you got! Good luck bro!

    Re-pitch or Not

    Ok- So I made a double 5 gallon batch of morebeers Pliny clone and used a hop spider for the first time. OG 1.065 I had a great yeast starter that I dumped into my 12 gallon conical fermenter. It went off for the first 3 days with a blow off. After a week I decided to make my first dump...

    How do you empty your mash tun?

    I have a keggle and save the grains for some chickens, but it seems like the most time consuming task during brew day. I've used a shop vac and had a serious mold problem in the vac... I now just take a large cup and spoon it out. Tipping it over would work, but it's a keggle and I don't want to...

    Boiling the wort chiller

    Putting it in before the boil would definitely make it easier on the hop spider fire drill during the last 15 minutes. Great idea-!

    Hello from Cape Cod MA

    Welcome! Boston and cape here too! I use a ranco temp controller on the fermentation fridge and a seed germinating mat (like a heating pad ) both set at 68 and it holds a steady 68 very well for the primary. As soon as I start to cold crash, the heating mat gets unplugged. Good luck! Cheers!

    I'm glad it worked out- I went about 10 rounds with CC Friday. They are so finicky-! I almost threw it through the wall- finally dumped the grain out of the hopper for the 379 time took the thing apart and made sure everything was exactly lined up. That's all it took- I'm going to mill the...

    Inexpensive Yeast Harvester DIY

    I just got my hands on an 18oz klean Kanteen and planning on using it on my 12.5 gallon eBay stainless conical that looks almost identical to yours... My question is, is your 12 oz big enough or too small? I guess I'm just wondering if 18oz is too big... I don't want to waste any beer... Thanks
