I picked up a bulkhead kit from BargainFittings.com recently and in putting it together found the included washer doesn't fit flush against my orange 10g cooler wall due to how the cooler wall is molded. When put together there is a bit of play due to this washer not sitting flush against the...

So either no one has posted about this yet or the search cache isn't updated very fast... Have you all seen Obama had a batch of homebrew made for his superbowl party? He bought the gear out of his own pocket too. Looks like the blog my buddy found that first linked to went private after this...

The freezer i got used had some moisture that found its way into the insulation due to a crack in the plastic. I want to replace it with the foam board stuff, but how to attach it? I'm thinking liquid nails but that would be a mess if i ever needed to replace it again. Also, would it be worth...

Maybe it's because I never was very good at physics class but as I am reading about false bottoms, I can't for the life of me figure this out. If the manifold connects to the top of it and it's placed inside concave facing down. By what force pushes the liquid out of the spigot? it looks...

I know a lot of you on HBT are DIY and geek types of all varaties so I thought I would share my newest geeky addition to my house. I've been looking into home automation stuff for a while now but it always seemed too expensive for what I get out of it. I came across this thermostat recently...

I've read about this being a way some have you were able to migrate to all grain brewing with gas. I recently moved from an apartment with a standard electric stove with the raised coils to a house with a really great smooth surface electric stove. The one in the apartment eventually...

Does anyone know of a site similar to Cafepress that will do custom pint glasses? Looks like they only do mugs and zazzle only does stiens. The latest design I'm working on:

So...... hopefully this isn't ruined. I dry-hopped an IPA a little while back with about 4 washers I picked up for a previous project to weigh the bag down. I never used the washers, and cleaned and sterilized them. I had thought they were stainless steel but after a few days i pulled...

I just noticed I have too much Chinook in my kit from AHB and no Perle (according to the recipe). Are they interchangeable? Should I go ahead and brew today or wait and do it per recipe? Thanks!

I know at least someone out there is still looking for these. Looks like AHS has them in stock. "FINALLY BACK IN STOCK!!! The 6.5 gallon carboy is the perfect size to be used as a primary fermenter for 6-gallon wine kits and our 5-gallon beer recipe kits. " Austin Homebrew Supply

A few questions on fermenting temperatures for you guys. The spot i'm using for fermenting is in the low 60's - staying between 62 and 65 right now. What i've read for the first batch i'm doing of an amber extract kit says between 60 and 75 so this is in there. - Does a fluctuation of...

Greetings everyone, My first post around here. Let me say these message boards are extremely helpful for beginners so thanks to all of you! I saw someone here is already using 1wire devices to monitor temperature in the 'Fermoire'. I had some hardware laying around and thought it would be...
