I’ve got some things to clear out. At least 3 glass carboys, the hood old ones without ribs. $25 each At least 3 ball lock kegs, decent shape, $40 each Really big copper wort chiller. Used this to chill 5-11 gallon batches with ease. $75 Located in south Minneapolis. Come get it!

So I think I screwed this up. Question is should I dump the batch. I put some steel ball bearings in a mesh bag with my hops to dry hop. I’ve done this before with stainless fittings I had laying around to keep the hops submerged. i carbonated the keg, pulls a beer and immediately noticed...

Knocked out a split batch. 8 gallons of 1.063 IPA and 5.5 gallons of 1.044 golden ale. My personal take on a party gyle (spelling??) type of brew but I just water one part down. today I pulled and chilled 4 gallons of 1.060 wort off post boil and added 1.5 gallons of water to make it 1.044...

Mounted the panel on the bench and filled everything with water to brew tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the info. I’ll ditch it. No love lost. It was sitting around because I make 10 gallon batches but I’ll wait to dry hop the second half until the first half is going low. Consumption has been down because we just had a baby 4 weeks ago. Im ready to ditch the few plastic things I...

This is the first irregular fermentation I’ve had. This APA is the second carboy of a 10 gallon batch and has been sitting at 45 degrees in secondary for well over a month, maybe 2 and a half. By some reading I’ve done I think this is mold but would like others to confirm. The splotches are...

You basically want what I built. Look here to see if you can find what you want. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/list-of-pj-electrical-diagrams.382286/ I modified a schematic and used the layout from the ebrew supply website and some elements from a PJ schematic. I did not like...

Don't bother. It's just 1056. They say its something else but I did a split batch with harvested Bells yeast and 1056 and it was exactly the same. I also pulled the yeast out of two hearted dregs and it worked fine. I could have used amber but I don't like amber and I do like two hearted and...

I’m making the second round of a Pilsner and was going to just rack my new beer onto the yeast cake of the beer I’m kegging that day. I could wash the yeast if that would bring a big benefit but it’s a chunk of work that I would rather avoid if possible. Any reason I should really wash this...

Hey OP. All the advice here is true. The one thing I want to add is that these projects are always more involved than you think. As a home brewer, I'm sure you know that. There are a ton of different ways to go electric from simple cheap systems to borderline microbrewery systems. Think...

I have a similar situation. You can see a couple of pictures here. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/first-electric-brew-review.647269/#post-8255109 The fan isn't in the window in this pic but you can see how I just pop that board up in the open window and blow through the screen (yes...

This is in line with what I thought. I think I will take advantage of the yeast from these batches and throw a new batch of wort on the yeast cakes. Cheers

I brewed a bohemian pils last week and I wanted a OG around 1.053 but I ended up at 1.060 due to a hard boil and better than expected mash efficiency. This was an 11 gallon batch so I split it up and added a half gallon to the 5.25 gallons in one fermenter bringing it down to 1.055 and left the...

I'm a Mechanical Designer. It's like an engineer but I actually solve problems and get things done rather than talk about all the different ways to solve a problem that we don't have time for. ;)

Thanks for the recommendations. I made a hop spider in the past and didn't like it. I think my mesh was too fine and didn't allow liquid to pass freely. When you picked it up it would hold wort and slowly drain. I could try one of the mesh produce bags I use for dry hopping but I don't...

I'm looking to brew a 10 gallon batch of Czech Pills and I'm planning on using Saaz for the hops but by my calculation, it’s going to take about 10 oz. of hops to bitter this beer. In theory, that’s all fine and well but I don’t have a good way to deal with excessive hop material in my kettle...

Is this out nationwide today? Is that in stores or just leaving the brewery today?

So it sounds like it can be done but might have some negative impacts on the brew system if things leak. Maybe I'll try it once or twice to see if I like the product and if so, buy a little immersion heater. My other concern is that I would need to fill my HLT with about 6-8 gallons of water...

Has anyone done this? I was thinking of buying one of those little gadgets but then thought...I already have the brewery, could I just double bag it and throw this into the HLT? Has anyone done this before? I just don't want leaky meat in my brewery if that happens from time to time with this...
