Over the past 6 months I have been brewing on my rig and finding problems to fix. Recently I re-located my thermowells from a T fitting on the outlet of the Hot Liquor Tank and Mash Tun. I was having problems on the MT with grain getting stuck due to such restricted flow from the thermowell. I...

C'mon folks, post em' if you've got em'! I'll go first!

I entered this into the 2010 World Expo of Beer Homebrew contest and it scored 42 out of 50 and received Honorable Mention. Carbonation was the difference in placing and getting the HM. Both BJCP certified judges claimed that it tasted a lot like Bells Hop Slam but I thought nothing of it. I had...

Hello all, I'm looking to purchase decent size lots (10+) of bottle caps. I don't have access to many west coast brewery caps and so that would be ideal. I have many of the "popular" breweries but am looking for those unique lesser known out there. I am using these to make a table top with...

So I'm having a problem with my regulator that is one year old. I had a leak in my system and the tank drained rather quickly. So I fixed the leak, went and got a refill, brought the tank back home, and reconnected the regulator. I turned on the tank and the pressure spiked up and the pressure...

First and foremost I must give thanks to some of the members of HBT without whom none of this would have been possible. Klaude - You were the most helpful and influental person involved in this build. I appreciated you tolerating the PM's back and forth time and time again. Sometimes you had...

Sold, thanks for looking

Here are some pics from my labor day brew session. It had been two months since I'd last brewed and I needed to scratch the itch. Since the pipeline is still pretty well stocked I decided to make an Imperial Stout that could be cellared and consumed in 2010. Here are the whole Columbus hops...

Ok, so I've never brewed a beer to try and get my SWMBO into craft brewing. After having her sample many homebrews and commercial beers I'm thinking I know what she would like. I want to do a beer using chocolate flavored extract, fresh raspberries, low IBU and alcohol. Only problem is I...

I am looking at motorizing my BC and was wondering if I could get some ideas on gearmotors to use. I would like to stay away from pulleys if at all possible. Suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Okay, so I would like to do an Imperial Stout for my next beer and was trying to come up with a recipe. During the process I realized that I wasn't sure how much of the specialty grains I should use as I've NEVER done a stout before. I tried looking at some other recipes to get an idea but...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping to find someone around here that has the same setup as listed in the title and pick their brain. I have a Johnson A419 controller, chest freezer and thermo-well for my fermentation chamber. I have the controller set to 1 degree difference and my temp @ 69. I'm...

I saw a re-run of this episode last night. The video is even better than the song, but due to legalities the video wasn't on Utube. YouTube - Family Guy: Pawtucket Pat's Beer Song

So I brewed the Cascade Orange APA three weeks ago. I've been dry hopping it the past few weeks and I had a look today after the last addition and there is some unusual looking fuzz on the top. I'm pretty sure this is the start of an infection but I would like to get some opinions. It's not as...
