Redwood Fire Extinguisher Service has been refilling my tank. He doesn't have a pump yet so only gets about 3/4 full but it lets me keep my lighter aluminum tank that looks decent sitting outside the fridge. He is not cheap... but that might change if he gets more volume going from beer...

I use a LOT of golden promise and shipping is a killer. The guys in Marshall can't order it so I am stuck with NB prices... So does anyone want to go in and buy enough malt to make a trip up and back with my pickup pay? I would be getting 3-4 sacks of GP myself(enough for 3-5 months of brewing...)

Not sure how many are out there in the garage... 5-9 cases worth... plus another 4 cases or so worth in the kitchen. I keg now so rarely bottle, just the occasional small test batch. Located 25 miles west of Redwood Falls, MN. Drop me a PM if you need any... in 4 weeks they start getting...

Any affordable 1 1/2 gallon kegs out there? Used is fine by me... I do mead and cider in 1 gallon batches and I hate bottling... be easier to keg and put under CO2

I need an oatmeal milk stout recipe to use as a base for a red velvet oatmeal milk stout. Trying to clone the one made by Brau Brothers Brewery in Marshall, MN. It has lots of chocolate so I figure 12oz Cholaca will add that, and a hint of raspberry I can get from an extract. Just need a good...

YIKES that has gone up since I last ordered it 4 months ago! $10 higher from NB who is my cheapest source when you add in shipping...

With summer coming up I want to get a citrus IPA in the keg. Thinking of taking my base ale recipe which is sweeter, dropping the extra dark crystal leaving: 5.5 gallon batch: 8 pounds Golden Promise(I can sub 2 row) 1.75 pounds of Victory then 1oz Chinook at 60 minutes 1oz...

I need a cheap pump for cooling water for my brewing setup. I use an immersion chiller and plan on going to a 55 gallon tank that is half full of water that I drop gallon jugs of ice into so I use less water(water is mega expensive in my town so running it on the lawn is not something I like to...

Fridge is an old Frigidaire that has been in the shed, then garage, then front porch as a ferm chamber. Many greasy hands grabbing beers from it so the handle needs some work to clean it up. Some rust low down on the door too to take care of but I can't decide what color to paint it. Door...

I have a bad back and moving brew buckets around challenges me many days. As I was getting stuff to start garden plants I turned around and saw these https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-14.5-Clear-Plant-Caddie/16630818#about-item perfect fit under a 5 gallon bucket! Now I can roll them to...

Working on my materials list for my 12'x16' brew shed that is off my 14x20 deck(same floor height right off the edge of the deck). Debating on wall materials. Do I go steel for wash down or go cheap with OSB I clear coat with marine varnish? Steel is about 20% more in price... Ceiling I am...

Keg Connection has a great sale on, ordered 6 pin lock kegs CHEAP! Even if I have to work on them the price can't be beat. $35 a keg!! Now the hard part, deciding what fridge or freezer is going to turn into the kegerator... Mini fridge is to short so it is out, fermenting fridge is a...

Google batting zero... didn't see it in the sticky... My chest freezer that is doing fridge duty off my solar panels(outboard temp controller of course) has 26.75 inches of usable height inside. How tall is a typical ball lock keg with connectors??? I am sure this has been asked 1,000 times...

An RO system hasn't fit the budget yet and distilled water is killing me... none of the local stores have RO water, just filtered which I can do myself. My water is good for brewing most beers except for the 400ppm sulfate reading... my house beer is this 16 pounds of Golden Promise 3...

Need to make 10 gallons of something so I was digging in the supply buckets... came up with this. Style I am not sure on, going to use Danstar Notty to ferment with so some form of an English ale? Method: All Grain Style: American Amber Ale Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 11 gallons...

I got a free extract kit on my last NB order... Chocolate Milk Stout. I am not a big stout drinker so not real familiar with the style and what works. I skipped ordering yeast because I thought I had 2 packets of s-04 on hand... nope all I have is Nottingham Ale and T-58... I know the T-58 is a...

As I promised I was going to review some mylar bags I found that work with some FoodSaver vacuum machines. They are thick and heavy duty so if you can get a seal they will work well to protect hops. I had to seal twice to get a seal and after the sealing bar heated up they worked much better...

Playing around with using some of the excess Pilsner malt I have. I am NOT a lager maker so don't go there! I was think along the lines of a nice lawnmower type ale, low bitterness, medium low ABV... 10 pounds Pilsner Malt 1oz Hallertau 60 minutes .5 oz Hallertau 5 minutes... really...

I was looking at my fermenting fridge and wondering how I could get a third bucket in there... what we need is a square(rounded corners for easy clean) and squat fermenter that will sit on a standard fridge shelf with a low profile airlock system. Something shaped like that I could get 3-4...
