    Nevada Fully welded tri clamp 20 gallon Kals electric 50a back to back set up

    Thought I would clean this up a bit. Looking for 6000.00 I easily have almost double that in this system. Add in all the ball valves, fittings, and more on those kettles and it adds up very quick. I will ship the brewing system in one crate via ltl to a freight depot near you and you can...

    First ferment with a bug blend question

    I was lucky enough to get a yeast sample from the brewery as well as the grain bill for this beer https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29200/179752/ The yeast sample was in a small mason jar and had about 2 inches of yeast in the bottom with another inch of beer on top. I had it in...

    E Brew Supply BCS Panel build

    I have been using my Kal panel I built from a kit and want to try going to bcs, just because. I like building stuff almost as much as brewing (maybe more) and want to try some of the control features of BCS. In addition building the new panel while I have the old one means no down and...

    doing a BIAB bag in my mash tun

    I know this sounds weird but I just tried it out of wanting a cheap solution. I have brewershardware kettles and was never happy with the falsebottom that came with the kettle. It always allowed grain around the sides, and ordering a new one from Norcal was expensive and time consuming as I...

    Nevada 5500 ULWD Elements

    I have two from the electric brewery site that are lightly used. I set up an original 10 gallon set up, and then moved to a 20 with TC elements. I kept these to sell separately. They are in perfect working order as shown on Kals site. I purchased them pre assembled...

    Heater for a stainless vessel

    Didn't see this posted before, so if I just copied someone else, just ignore this. I needed a heater for my conical that sits in my non heated garage. I tried the standard flexible heater flex watt type product but could not get enough surface area contact to keep my temps us. I then...

    Conical trub dump

    How many days do you let primary go in your conical before dumping the trub? I am doing a belgium and need to add candy syrup and wanted to know did I dump first then add the syrup or maybe add syrup and wait another day. It's been 48 hours now since I pitched the yeast.

    Vendors that ship USPS

    I guess this is a first world issue, but darn if frustrates me. I have no issue with usps, as I realize it saves both the vendor and I money. My issue is when a vendor checks the box that a signature is required, or worse required in person. When a signature is required, it makes me...

    wlp655 with berliner base and apricots

    I wanted to try something so I brewed a basic berliner base and pitched wlp655. My plan is to wait two weeks and rack to secondary and add frozen oregon apricots ( I bring them to room temp and puree then in the blender) then wait another 4-6 weeks. Any insight on how this would work...

    cooler for a conical

    I was poking around this website looking for a home use tig welder and I found this. At 5800 btu could this be used for a conical.....at 450 thats in my price range and I suspect I could adapt the hose fittings. Just an odd thought. They have a smaller one too for less money...

    Reviews on equipment websites

    I have purchased quite the array of products in my 3 months since I got into home brewing. I have spent some significant money (for me) on equipment. I have mainly patronized moorbeer and Midwest as well as my local brew shop. I try to give my local shop business for the things they...

    Problems priming a chugger inline

    I have 3 brews now with my chugger inline. I have had a terrible time with priming the pump. I have the pots elevated on burners with legs and the pump on the ground so there is a good 24" of drop. I have even had it start pumping and loose prime as it goes on. I open the valve all the...

    Is my yeast DOA

    I ordered a kit from Morebeer and would have sworn I picked add an ice pack to the yeast. however when it arrived there was no ice pack, and I cant find one on my invoice, so I guess I screwed up somehow. The white yeast heffe tube was about 80 degrees when it arrived, and it was overnight...

    need a dip tube

    I have a mega pot 1.2 10 gallon where I replaced the included bulkhead with one from brewers hardware. My issue is the fpt opening on the bulkhead inside the pot is quite some ways from the bottom and it causes me to loose about a half gallon or more. My blichman pot has a 90 degree bend...
