Hey Everty, Good videos, I'm considering the same model for the same reasons you mentioned. Can you give some honest feedback now that you've had the canner for some time? Is it as useful as you expected? Would you have gotten the flywheel or motorized? If I can get a brew-club member or three...

Hey Warrior - how often do you run group buys, and any idea when the next one might be? Thanks, Mike

I'm looking at the same setup - Williams mill motor kit and the Barley Crusher... So did it work out for you?

Anyone from PA getting in on this? I'm in Chester County, willing to chip in gas money if someone is already making the trip to pick up. - Mike

Ringneck is already taken - it's the production brewery of a Brew-On-Premises operation near Cleveland OH called The Brew Kettle. The Brew Kettle - The Ringneck Brewing Company I've brewed there - great operation. They have an excellent brewery-sponsored golf outing every August with lots...

+1 for not boiling every time - I did the first time out of the package and now I just soak it in starsan, and give a quick shot of o2 when I'm done to blow out the wort. Question for the group: I notice when I turn the regulator dial of the Oxynator, nothing comes out until it is nearly...

+1 for the Lowes/Home Depot BernzO oxygen bottles. <$8 per bottle in my area.

IMMERSION CHILLER SPRAYED HOSE WATER IN MY WORT! A classic chiller malfunction - I had my garden hose laying in the garden with no sprayer on the end, and when I connected the hose to my immersion chiller input connection, medium-sized pieces of mulch entered the tube. Once I turned on the...

In my personal opinion, Northern Brewer's Honey Brown kit is a huge crowd pleaser and only slightly heavier than Dundee's. Mine was done with 1 week in primary, 1 week in secondary and 1 week kegged in the fridge under carbonation....

Oxyclean Free Versatile cleaner - Green Lid. I get mine at the local Walmart. The OxiClean website shows: * OxiClean Laundry Stain Remover * OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover * OxiClean Free Versatile Stain Remover * OxiClean Spray-A-Way Instant Stain Remover

I following this procedure from Palmer's book... How to Brew - By John Palmer - Example Batch Procedure: The procedure is identical to that for extract brewing. However, the specialty grains will be steeped in the pot before the extract is added. The 3 gallons of water in the boiling...

I'll throw a small saucepan on the stove for the last 15 mins of my wort boil... I'm assuming the little clip that came with it is for the stone end of the tubing. Do you attach the stone and then dip in starsan to cover the outside of the O2 tube?

No, boily is easy of course. But why would I boil anything if I don't have to. I have a bucket of StarSan on hand from sanitizing my carboy during the wort boil, I would rather just dip the stone and tube in the StarSan.

Brewers, I received an Oxynator oxygen system for XMas (Thanks to my supportive better half!). The instructions say to boil the stone for 15 mins, but I like to keep things simple and am thinking of soaking the tube attached to the stone in my StarSan bucket before dropping it in my filled...

Here's the Counter-Flow Chiller (CFC) tutorial link: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/counterflow-chiller-tutorial-51793/ I just got done reading it (nice work Bobby). Partway through, there is a link to purchase one pre-made for about $70 if you are not handy with copper cutting and...

1 hour sounds excessive. I steep for 15 minutes, 30 tops. I imagine the extracting curve greatly flattens after 30 minutes. I personally don't mind checking the temp of my steep water every five minutes.

Do I really need a gallon of yeast? I have just been using just the WYeast activator packs of liquid yeast, and only experienced attenuation problems on my beers higher than 1.060. I have looked at the yeast starter kits that include either a 1 or 2 liter flask with a small package of DME. Is...

Wilsonbrewer, Thanks - probably being overly paranoid, but reading about how much sanitation and cleaning is important, I bet you can see why... Maybe I'm being too greedy - is a full 5-gallon boil chilling time supposed to be under X minutes for a good cold break? My process with the IC...

The bottom of the pot doesn't reach the funnel/carboy, but when I tip the pot, any liquid from the sides would run towards the top lip. I'll try it with holding the pot with a towel and keeping it as level as possible when I get to the end of the pour. Anyone else with experience pouring...
