Selling a Tapcooler bottle filler complete with ball lock gas post, extension tube, blowoff tube and growler filler bung. Asking $125 CAD. Also selling a 24" x 5" rectangular drip tray. Asking $40 CAD. Got out of the hobby so these are no longer needed. Local pickup preferred (Pickering, ON)...

I've had my keezer running for about 3 years now, using an STC-1000 for temp control. For the second time in its life I've had to replace the cooling relay in the controller because it got stuck in the closed position, causing the keezer to continue to run well below its set point. Right now I...

Question for those out there that continuously recirculate their mash through a HERMS or RIMS setup. Do you still stir your mash every 15 minutes or so? Reason for the question: I've typically paused recirculation every 15 minutes or so to do a quick stir, then restart the pump. Two brews ago...

Gone through a couple of brews with my DIY AC Glycol Chiller and I'm quite pleased with the performance. That being said, I wish it was a tad quieter, especially the condenser fan. Has anyone tried to replace this fan with something quieter? I assume that the stock fan was sized to ensure...

Apologies in advance is this is covered in another thread but some searching on my part didn't seem to pull up a definitive answer. I use a Tilt Hydrometer connected to a Raspberry Pi to monitor fermentation progress through Brewfather. Currently I'm fermenting in plastic carboys in a mini...

I'm taking the plunge into fermenting in a conical (Spike CF5 on its way) and intend to install a 2" sight glass off the bottom TC port to see what's going on when dumping trub or harvesting yeast. For others that have this setup, would you keep the sight glass covered most of the time to...

Hi, getting ready to pull the trigger on a conical fermenter and wanted to know what volume people generally start with if they plan on dumping trub and yeast prior to begging/bottling. For 5 gal going to a keg, do you start with 5.5 gal? 6 gal?

So I've recently moved to electric brewing on my 3-vessel HERMS and for the first few batches I thought I was being smart by using hot water to filly my Mash Tun and HLT, cutting down on the time it takes to heat to strike temperature. I then read somewhere this week that you should be really...

I've been fermenting in various carboys and buckets for a few years and most recently have had good success with a 7 gal Fermonster that I've added a thermowell, ball lock gas post and spigot which allows me to do closed gravity transfers to my kegs. It works great but I've got my eyes on the...

Hello world! As most folks, I've been lurking around the forum for a while and finally decided to put a formal intro on here. I rediscovered the hobby of home brewing about 2 years ago after dabbling briefly in it a few years before that. At this point I can't get enough of it, I find it...
