Hey all, Just wanted to pass along an email I just received from the AHA. Saint Arnold is now part of the member deals! They're offering 10% off food AND beer when you show your AHA member card! It's great to see they're now part of the program! I look forward to saving some cash on my next...

Is there a decent fertilizer that can be bought at Home Depot/Lowes that I can use at the beginning of the season? I believe something that is high in Nitrogen should be used during upward growth. Is Vigoro Bold Blooms a good fertilizer to use, or are the other two components too high? It's a...

I am selling 4x stainless steel shanks, 3-1/8" in length. They have a 1/4" bore. They are in great shape and work great with my 525SS Perlicks, but I've upgraded my kegerator and now need longer shanks. These fit perfectly on a 2xX wooden collar. The shanks are stainless, the other...

My keezer can't get cold! Compressor is running non-stop, has a temp around 175F, and the freezer's internal temp isn't dropping under 65F. I've cleaned off the rear coils, checked the lid gasket (seems intact) and have no idea what's wrong with it. I bought it about 5 years ago and everything...

I brewed a Festbier-type with ECY-15 a couple years ago and the yeast character was amazing. It was malty, creamy, had amazing mouthfeel, and made you keep want to grab another pint. I'd love to make the beer again, but since East Coast Yeast is rather hard to come by, I can't source the...

Hi, I'm looking into getting an O2 setup going (been shaking my fermenters for too many years...). I'm interested in using the disposable O2 bottles that can be found at Home Depot, Lowes, etc., but have only found regulators like these. What I would like is an O2 regulator that has a flow...

I'm wanting to do a side by side for the three versions of BLAKKR. I've got the Real Ale version and Surly's on the way. Looking for 1-2 bombers of the 3Floyds version. Let me know if you can help!

I'm looking to try Heretic's Evil^3 Triple IPA. Let me know what you'd like in return. I have some access to Jester King and Prairie Ales. Karbach, Saint Arnold, and any other Houston brewery is also available to me. Let me know! :mug:

Hi all, I won a 30 year old Boots Pressure Barrel in a raffle last year and had been wondering what to do with it. What I've come up with is using it as a vessel for souring beers/aging on fruit. I have no interest in serving from this barrel, but and curious if anyone has used a Pressure Barrel...

I'm thinking about getting the Blichmann Beer Gun, but I don't want to attach the 10' of beer line directly to the 1/4" stainless beer tube. I'll be using the Beer Gun for both sours and non-sours, and would just feel better if I used different beer line for them. I've asked Blichmann if they're...

Alright brewing experts, I've got $50 to burn on brew gear. What do you feel is more important? A Water Filter, a really good scale, or a Blichmann Beer Gun (yes, I know it's more than $50), or something else? I already have all the gear necessary to make really decent (some say good/great)...

I've got a couple sours going and would like to taste them to see how they're doing. I nory use my "wine" thief for this on non-sour brews, but with these I'm worried I'll infect my thief and then contaminate my other brews. How do you all take samples? Do you have a separate thief for...

Not mine at all, but wanted to share this deal with you all. It'll be saving me ~80% over what my LHBS charges. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f95/good-deal-root-beer-extract-382517/

I just saw this on SlickDeals and jumped on it. The price is considerably less than what my LHBS sells the bottles for ($6.99 + tax per bottle). I also saved an extra 5% and got free shipping by doing subscribe and save. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00122E62S/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 The...

Just saw this in BYO and was wondering if anyone has used it yet, and if so, at what temp did you ferment? What was the final beer like? I'd love to be able to use a dry saison yeast... Thanks! http://www.danstaryeast.com/products/belle-saison-yeast

I'm putting together my pump-in-a-toolbox and have a question about the wiring. At this moment, I have a GFCI receptacle in the box with a switch. The pump will be plugged into a GFCI outlet and the switch will turn on and off the GFCI. What I'd LIKE to happen is have a secondary receptacle that...

Hi, I'm torn on what I should brew next. When I brew next I'll have on tap: a house pale ale, a CTZ/Pilsner SMaSH (basically another pale ale), 2 India Black Ales, and a sweet stout. I have the ingredients for all of the below beers, but can't decide which I should brew next. Help me decide...
