I have a 4 burner stand with 90k BTU 3 ring burners that I built to use in my old house with 1" natural gas pipe to the unit. I moved to the country, and had to switch to propane. I put an RV auto changeover regulator (Camco 59005) on the beam, but if I have many burners going, I run low on...

Does anyone know if P-J's computer got replaced? I had cause to go all the way through the thread on P-J's diagrams (I just got a BCS-462 - happy birthday to me!). In it he mentioned that he was still using an old box running Windows XP. After all that he has done for this forum, it seemed...

I am slowly gathering parts for my panel. I saw these...

I have a few Cornies that I brewed over a year ago. With moving, new job, etc, they never got served. They are a Bavarian wheat and an alt-bier. Can I salvage these with a pitch of Bret? Or should I just write them off? Has anyone out there tried this?

I recently moved our of suburbia to an acreage. I have these burners on my brewstand: http://www.cpapc.com/store/3-Ring-Burner-natural-gas-P2361C244.aspx Each burner has 2 needle valves and a standing pilot light, and of course piping, a modest investment I would prefer not to discard...

I have what must be several ounces of Chinooks that I intended to harvest, but a cold snap beat me to the weekend, and the bines and the cones on them all turned brown. Is there any use for these cones, besides improving the smell of the trash can? I understand Belgian brewers like to use aged...

I have a keezer I made with an older chest freezer, which I was given as a gift. It's been in use here for a couple of years, now sitting in the kitchen. Yesterday I put four fresh 5 gallon Corney kegs in it, which is all it will hold. They were at room temperature, about 70*. 24 hours...

It looks like this weekend I'll be harvesting my Chinooks. While most of my hops made meager showings in this hot dry summer, the Chinooks went nuts. I thought I might make a fresh hop ale with them on Sunday. I have toyed with doing a Chinook and Munich SMaSH. Does anyone have a favorite...

I'm playing with options for a power stirrer for my direct fire mash tun. I ran across this motor, the third item down on the page: http://www.sciplus.com/category.cfm/subsection/18 I was looking aroiund for a way to provide power to it, and saw these...

I have two Glacier hops bines in my garden, or at least so I think. This year, the largest bine on the more robust one is red, while the other plant has only green bines. Do I have an imposter? To anyone growing Glacier hops, what color are the bines on your plant?

i stumbled upon these on the web. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-Light-Lamp-Dimmer-Bright-Brightness-Adjustable-Control-Controller-DC-12V-96W-/300670481728?_trksid=p3284.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D21%26pmod%3D260953797439%26ps%3D54 My...

I bought a lab stir plate off of ebay a while back, but used it for the first time this morning. I am trying to propagate up a packet Wyeast Kolsch yeast for a 10 gallon batch. I boiled the DME last night, and pitched the packed this morning. Tonight I checked it, and it feels pretty warm...

I washed some Wyeast Weihenstephaner in late December into several half pint jars, and when I ran out of those, the rest went into a gallon jug. These have all been on the fridge top shelf ever since. I was hoping to make a starter earlier this week in order to brew with these tomorrow, but...

I'm trying to set up pilot lights for my burners. The burners i have are these: 3-Ring Burner (natural gas) - CHINESE WOK RANGES - RANGES - COOKING EQUIPMENT - EQUIPMENT I was hoping to just pipe them and not fit them with needle valves. I have 1/8 inch brass pipe with caps on them. I...

I'm setting up 15 gallon plastic conical fermenters with valves, and found that the 3//4" CPVC ball valves at my local Menards look dubious. The other local big box stores do not have 3/4 inch CPVC valves. Is there an issues with using PVC valves under a conical? They would never face...

I brewed a pale ale a couple of weeks ago, and forgot the Whirlfloc. It is very cloudy. I pitched US-05, and it looks done. The air locks have gone still, and I am ready to keg it as a bright tank. It still has krausen. I have shaken it repeatedly, but the krausen persists. I was planning...

Time has gotten away from me, and I would like to brew this weekend and serve in 4 weeks. I'd like to do an American farmhouse ale using WLP565, which I have in my fridge. I have no experience with this yeast. Is this a reasonable turnaround time, or does a brew with this yeast need more...

My son is moving from Nebraska to Arkansas in mid May, and is interested in growing hops there. My initial plan was to have him transport some of my plants. I kind of overdid it here, with 23 plants growing, so I could spare some. Most of them are taking off now, with bines a foot or more...

My keezer temperature controller was broken, and I bought one of the aquarium temperature controllers on E-bay to replace it. Here's what I bought http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=220715293655&view=all&tid=716792210012 When ordering I did not notice that it is...

I've been wanting to build a metal brew rig. I haven't welded in 30+ years, and don't have a welder anyway. I haven't bought the metal for a stand yet. I can't swing a commercial rig right now. I just saw this shelving on sale, and wondered about using it...
