    Florida Cleaning out - Free but ya gotta pickup

    Cleaning out a bunch of items no longer used. I'll update more as I get pics and work my way thru the rest of the brew closet. I'm in Palm Harbor, FL for pickups. All free Tall Boy Kettle - honestly not sure of size. It's about the height of a 5G water bottle, so maybe it's and 8 or 10G...

    Chicago hop beer drinkers

    Got called into a meeting and had to come to Chicago. Had been told to get some “Hop Butcher” beers but their location seems to be closed. Supposedly I can buy their beers per their website even though the taproom is closed. Any Chicago folks out there that know where I can get these beers in...

    When did craft beer prices “jump the shark”

    I’d been taking a bit of a sabbatical with brewing and have been store buying my craft brews lately. I’ve seen the prices go a little crazy for some of the hazy 4 packs, but nothing prepared me for these… Is this real? I’ve heard of 450 North, and think I’ve even tried a couple of their brews...

    Northern Brewer IPA 48 hr sale

    Looks like NB has IPA kits at 3 for 25/each. Seems like it’s only the extract kits though. Bummer as I’ve made a couple of those AG kits and they are pretty good. Wonder why those “3 for” kit deals are never on the AG and only on the extracts ??? oh well, hope someone likes the extract deal.

    Florida Vessi all in one fermenter/draft system

    Decided to post up my Vessi system to see if any interest out there. Works great but I’m too heavily invested in my Ss chronicals/glycol setup to get enough use out of it. Since owning it I’ve replaced most lines and added a bigger CO2 tank. For those not familiar with Vessi, it’s a fully...

    Read my hydrometer - PLZ

    I have struggled with reading a hydrometer correctly since starting this hobby, and i'm sure there are even varying opinions on how to read it correctly. I know in the end it really doesn't matter as long as i use the same reading indicator at beginning & end, but unfortunately i was raised by...

    Sierra Nevada beers Total Wine

    Not sure if this belongs here so feel free to delete or move if it should go elsewhere. I was at Total Wine yesterday picking up some Allagash (which is available for a limited time here in FLA - Yeah Allagash) and while there I saw all Sierra Nevada six packs were 5 bucks. Worker there said...

    I don't brew a lot of lagers, so not sure what's gonna happen but i will be kegging a lager this weekend and will also be brewing an IPL on the same day. I want to put the IPL wort on top of the previous yeast cake but due to warm florida chilling temps, i can only get my wort down to about 85...

    Coffee Roaster - WTB

    Looking to enter the world of coffee roasting. Anyone moved up to higher end roasters that may have some beginner to middle range roasters they are wanting/willing to part with? Not really looking to start at the repurposed popcorn popper route, but also want to try to learn on something...

    Ranco buttons don't seem to work

    Been having some flaky responsiveness from the programming buttons on my Ranco single stage controller. It's on my glycol chiller and is hard wired in. Whenever I try to press the set button to make changes it does nothing. I've tried holding in the buttons, pushing from different angles, etc...

    Selling my Brite Tank as haven't used in a while. (Also willing to trade for a 7G jacketed conical with chilling coil. Like the bme chronical) Brite is in great shape and all FTSS parts included. This tank has the rolling caster wheels, but I still have the feet and the non-coil top that I...

    FTSS connections for chiller coil

    I finally got around to connecting up my glycol chiller to the FTSS coil. Wondering how folks handle the on/off of the tubing connections? I can surely just pull these off the coil whenever I move the conical but there has to be a preferred or better way. Maybe some inline plugs/clips? Would...

    ProvOak Hop Pellets

    Santa Ana Brewery Auction

    Some absolutely insane deals for those wanting to go large scale. I run a small side operation buying/reselling bankruptcy auction items. You will pay pennies on the dollar, but be sure you understand time frames to get your purchases out by the required dates. I’ve never seen a brewery...

    BeerSmith - Yeast Starter Question/Calculation

    So i've been perplexed for awhile with how BeerSmith calculates yeast derived from a starter, so wanted to pose a question to the smart folks on here. Does the OG of the starter wort really not make a difference in cell count produced from a starter, as BeerSmith numbers don't reflect any cell...
