Hello everyone, I'm looking to get in touch with someone that has some experience welding SS for my brew rig. The local weld shop quoted me $1500 +/-!!!!! :drunk: Might as well buy my own, amIright? Anyway, anyone in the Sheboygan area willing to work with me on my project? We can...

I've been building a keezer for my in-laws, whom over the past few weeks have been on vacation in Oregon and now camping.... I have been texting them "keezer teaser" pics to mess with them a bit. Thought I'd do the same with you folks. :ban: It will be completely done on Friday, just...

I got out in the yard last week and did some root pruning. I now have three varieties of rhizomes for sale; Cascade, Centennial, and a local wild variety. $5 each or 5 for $20, mix-n-match or all the same variety. Shipping will be in standard flat-rate USPS boxes and cost depends on...

I finished up my hop oast a while back. I ripped a 3/8" strip off every board. Then stapled the screen to the larger box frame, and glued/nailed the strip on. This hopefully will help keep the screen on a bit better than just staples alone. It worked good with two racks about 1.5...

All fittings sold... And I was worried I'd have to spend a couple weeks on ebay selling these and filtering through spam emails. Thanks everyone! MT

I've been brewing for many years now, but have never come up with a good name for my "brewery". Lately I've been brainstorming a new single tier system... And I woke up at 3am last night with the answer! (my brain solves a lot of things when I sleep) Salvage Brewing Co. "Several men's trash...

Hey guys, I've been searching for a bit now on the interwebs, to no avail. I have a whole bunch of 2" stainless square tubing, except it is currently welded in a different configuration. Amazingly these were at the bottom of a lake, used as diffusers for an aeration system (I manage lakes...

I recently tried to resuspend the yeast in a vial from my yeast bank...after 10 minutes of shaking, I was halfway there. Then I thought.....man, I wish I had a vortex mixer! They are way to expensive to purchase outright, and there was only a DIY tutorial for a stupid attachment to an...

I've been looking at burners today, trying to figure out if my current one will be enough to boil 10 gal batches in a keggle, but I have not seen a discussion/answer to my question. I do not know what make/model I have, but I bought it at Lowes or WalMart about 5 years ago.....the burner...

What source do you use for ascorbic acid in your frozen yeast bank? Jamil and White recommend 1 gram/L ascorbic acid to increase viability when freezing at -20°C, and I was wondering if I could use the ascorbic acid you would use for canning. It has other stuff in it, so does anyone know if...

Happy New Year everyone! Hope all is well. I brewed a version of New Belgium's Hoptober a few months back, and finally got it on tap over the holidays. Well, turns out it is really really good! (again reaffirms long primary benefits, this one was 54 days primary with another 7 days dry-hopped...

I have been searching for about a week on the best placement for a welded coupling for a sight glass on a keg. I watched Bobby's and others' videos about it, but I am not sure if I should just put the coupling on the flatter area above the bend (seems easiest) and get the straight-sided...

Happy Friday everyone, I checked my hops this afternoon and found a few male flowers, I believe. Can anyone confirm this? There is maybe 4 times the amount on the stem in the pictures that I left on the plant (any damage is done and I'm harvesting in a fee days). Thanks in advance...

I know how to do the precise dry matter method and then back calculate with a second known sample of hops as they are drying. A good write up can be found at Gorst Valley Hops (All Hopped Up; Sept-Oct 2009). But, this seems like a lot of work for the 2 or 3 pounds I am expecting, plus my scale...

Not mine, but just thought I'd post up this ad for anyone in the WI area: http://appleton.craigslist.org/for/2147811604.html Perhaps he'd ship in a USPS flat rate box or something. :mug:

I've had a beer (cream ale, OG: 1.054) in the primary since 3/1. I went to bottle it last night, and checked the gravity with both a hydrometer and refractometer (to see how close they are). First, the hydro read 1.019 and the refractometer said a brix of 6.2 (or gravity of 1.005, using...

Any thoughts/suggestions? Ingredients: 4lbs - Wheat LME 1lbs - Clover honey 2.5lbs - US 2-row 1lbs - Flaked wheat estimated OG: 1.054 estimated SRM: 3 Hop schedule: 0.5oz - Sorachi ace, 60min 0.25oz - Sorachi ace, 30min 0.25oz - Sorachi ace, 5min estimated...

I made a starter last night, put it on the stirplate and went to bed. This morning I check it, and it is running at ~87F! Apparently this stirplate (borrowing from the lab) creates more heat than I thought..... So, my question is, what do you guys think my yeast has been affected? I places...

I have been trying to harvest the yeast out of some New Glarus Spotted Cow, so I can start working out a clone. Problem is, I can't seem to get it to grow. Has anyone ever successfully harvested from these bottles? I've searched on here and google, to no avail. I've tried two starters now...

Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday festivities! I am wondering if any one on here has a good source for custome beer mugs. I want to get a set printed with the logo I made up for my FIL. Every site that I have seen online is either just etching a few words, or has a minimum of 72 mugs for...
