After 20 faithful years of service I think its time to retire the old chiller a build a new one. A coupling broke and I got a good look at the copper tubing outside wall and wow! the funk built up on the tubing. After seeing that I'm surprised it's not had corrosion leak through yet. Anyways...

I have about an ounce of oak chips soaked in a hopsack wet with whiskey. It's been sealed in a mason jar sitting in the pantry for a couple of years. It's not submerged at all. Just very wet. I have a Porter ready for these chips if possible. Use 'em or Toss 'em

I've got some 70 day old WLP060 in the fridge. I have good sanitation practices and the yeast cake looks very clean, free of debris under a layer of clear beer. Should I make a starter for another brew day or toss the lot?

I'm using a converter to power a 12v pump and have a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) to control the speed of the pump. I want to add a toggle switch into the line. It's a simple On/Off - 2 wire lead switch. Am I only adding this into the Positive line to "break" the power? Converter positive and...

I've really been spending time putting together and experimenting with recipes and learning my preferences of hop combinations. This has led me into many hours of researching and reading material and reading other's opinions, as well. I'm finding that most of the discussions and material are...

I have a couple oz's of each and like each individually, but very little experience with Saaz. Possible Wheat or Saison? I have US05, S04, and Belle Saison yeast harvests on hand. Anyone pair Willamette with Saaz?

I was sitting here thinking about what else to add to the left over inventory I have and it crossed my mind to get ideas from you fellow HomeBrewTalkers. I have 4# 2row - 2# Maris Otter - 1# Light DME - 1/2# Rye - 1/2#CaraPils I can pick up some other additional grains. Thought about a touch...

FYI I have my old keezer that doesn't work anymore sitting in the garage unused. Using the Son of Fermentation methods, I'm planning on converting this into a fermentation chamber. I haven't found any information on this after extensive searching so I'm posting for others to find when needed...
