    Massachusetts 5-10G All grain setup with pump and chiller

    The cheapest one I could find new was 140$, so $60 seems reasonable? One thing I forgot to mention is that when I bought it, it came with a lid that was for a bigger sized pot. I never had a problem using it but it is wider than the pot.

    Massachusetts 5-10G All grain setup with pump and chiller

    Using the ups website it said $50. I think to sell it used given its $60 new probably wouldn’t make sense.

    Massachusetts 5-10G All grain setup with pump and chiller

    $500 for everything. I have a preference to sell it all together, but individual items are OK. My current pricing is based on 50% of what it would cost new. 15G Stainless boil kettle with 3-part ball valve 7G Aluminum kettle with 3-part ball valve Both of these are from Morebeer, and have only...

    What is your fav. way to clear your palate for next type of beer?

    Why bother? Just drink it the new beer until you get the full flavor. Even with a "clean palate" it takes a few sips to really experience the full flavor anyway.

    Have I turned into a HopHead?

    Before last weekend I would have said that while I enjoy drinking IPAs I don't like them. I have had several tastings of different IPAs, and in November I brewed my own - a mildy powerful dry hopped IPA. Well, last weekend I was out at a restaurant and the most interesting thing on the menu...

    Temperature control: peltier?

    Definitely not. But a carboy will just barely fit. A lot of the cheaper wine coolers will also have thermoelectric cooling. The problem is that this kind of cooler has several limitations - minimum temperature limitations and limited ability to cool down large thermal mass. I think the...

    Distilled water!

    But when it comes to water "science" I would bet more people start looking into it because of problems rather then because its fun. I understand the mentality that the distilled water discussion can be overly complicated - but that's not true for everyone. Some people have bad water and need...

    How good is your beer? (really!)

    Actually, to really answer this question, the only standardized test is competitions (or at least the best test out there). Most of the good craft brew places that I have been to will have won multiple awards with their beer. I am guessing most homebrewers with "amazing" beer have not (like...

    How good is your beer? (really!)

    I wish there was an objective way to actually answer this question. This will seem cynical by definitions, but honestly I am guessing that most homebrew is nowhere near as good as good craft/micro/macro brew. Of course the reality is we always think our beer is good, and when it is bad we have...

    COLD CRASHING and CONDITIONING

    My understanding has always been that the temperature of storage is related to flavor stability. The warmer you store the beer the more the flavor is negatively impacted. Beer freshness (in terms of desirable flavor) is supposed to degrade faster as warmer temps. Usually cold storage is a...

    Distilled water!

    Anyway. Regarding distilled water and extract. While, using distilled water would be fine to use with extract, I wouldn't say its ideal. While you might say that extract contains some levels of minerals in it already, that doesn't really cover the intent of adjusting your water to certain...

    Tasted Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for First Time

    I think in the game of semantics some terminology gets confused. Yes, hops are used to add bitterness, but they also add flavor. In my opinion comparing SNPA to an IPAs is not fair, because IPAs usually incorporate a lot of hop flavor. To me SNPA is more about the bitterness than the...

    (WATER) Distilled vs Tap????

    I think the benefit of treating your water has better side-effects than not doing it. Even for a beginner. Its more frustrating to have nasty tasty beer than it is harder to buy some water and put salt in it.
