My business partner and I are about to dive into the deep end of the pool opening our brewery in Ames, IA. The brewery is named Torrent Brewing Company and we are so very close to finalizing our lease on a 5000 sq. ft. building. We’re going to have an industrial/ factory style looking brewery...

I know this has been gone over multiple times but each project is different so where’s the problem on my brew rig? My single tier with 3 BG14 banjo burners doesn’t put out close to the power I’ve seen some on here when it comes to flame intensity. As for the setup from the LP tank, starts with...

So I built a single tier stand and hooked up the gas and nothing. I can hold the end of the gas line from the reg kit (Banjo 30 PSI Propane Regulator) in my hand and turn the gas on and nothing will come out and the tank has gas in it, any ideas?

Is there any reason not to make the boil kettle temp controlled, just like the HLT and MLT? Pros vs. Cons

Building a single tier brewery and I’m going back and forth on using a third controller for the brew kettle. Why or why not automate the boil kettle to maintain temp? Anyone have photos of a rig automating all three? Thanks

Anyone have an updated material list (maybe) w/ links for the Brutus Ten? If I’m finding the right things (a big if) they are way more than the original list (3-4X) which leaves some doubt. Would be a big help for I’m sure a lot of people. PM if you want.

Building a Brutus Ten from mild steel and looking over the material list from my BYO. It calls out for stainless steel ½” Tee fittings and ½” Stainless steel couplings to be welded to the gas beam. My question is if you’re going with a mild steel frame can you still weld the Stainless fitting...

So I’m going to be embarking on a Brutus Ten build soon and want to do the stainless welding myself. I’ve been looking at a Hobart Handler 140 MIG welder. It says it can weld with flux core wire or with gas, can you weld stainless with just flux core wire? Having no experience welding will...

Just wanted to share a little project I've been working on so that everyone can see what needs to be done just to install a yard. I've documented every step of the way so far during the installation. Now that the plants are popping up I need to get the irrigation system installed and the...

Has anyone tried to seal (not vacuum) non-foodsaver style plain poly bags/ tubes? Like what grain comes in from a brew shop. I'd like to order some but not sure what thickness the foodsaver will do without just melting them? Also any suppliers? Thanks

Anyone have a good source for Mylar bags that you have used w/ your food saver? Thanks

Help name my brew shop and win! I'm going to start an online brew shop but have run into a hurdle....the name. What I want you to do is just start posting names (in thread or PM) that you think sound good/ and don’t currently exist hopefully. If the name you give is chosen I'll send you...

What are your favorite three varieties of hops?

So I'm having two cases of Yuengling traditional Lager bottles shipped to me from NY to IA. What is the best way to get the cases here unharmed, undetected and best carrier to use? Also what do you think its going to cost to ship two cases?

Anyone have a good lead on the A419 Johnson Digital Temperature Controllers?

So I have finally come to the conclusion that the area I planted my hops in just has to poor of soil drainage. I have 16 plants and I’m thinking of moving them all to a better draining part of the property. The largest plants are no more than 3’ at best so my thought was to just spade around...

I forgot to add Amylase Enzyme to my primary. I’m going to add it into the keg but how fast will it work?
