I'm not sure if anyone has good info on this, but here goes! My hops are very, very happy this year. They have 14' of coir yarn to climb, and two of the Cascades are already 2' or so beyond the top and looking for more line. They are starting to entangle in the pulley system that allows me to...

Hey guys, just a shoot-the-**** tech thread here. So, I put in an RO system for my brewery about 6 months ago. I have been using it for the usual things like water adjustments and making Star San last forever. Recently, I also started using it for making starters, to avoid exposing the...

SOLD! Original post below. --- I'm having a baby! Up for sale is my complete Brewhemoth conical setup. This is a turnkey, ready to go, fully awesome fermentation system. Photos of the system can be seen on my blog, http://blog.seekerbeer.com. Everything is used, but has been...

Hey folks, I'm about to brew up a Baltic/Robust porter using Wyeast 1275 Thames Valley Ale. I was sitting here thinking about what to brew behind it with a repitch, and thought hell, why not kick the tires on the hive mind and see what falls out? This will be my first time using 1275. It'll...

On my last few batches, as I have progressively dialed my system in, I have started to have a problem with too high of efficiency into the kettle, as a side effect of very good rinsing. High efficiency is not generally considered a problem, but in my case it's just a bit too high and is...

Hey guys, I'm going to be growing my first hops this year in north central ohio. I feel like I've done my research on spacing and trellis construction, and I'm off to a good start. There's still snow on the ground here, so I'll be starting my rhizomes in pots for close to a month before they go...

For sale is one March 809-SS-HS-C pump that has been very lightly used. Purchased from MoreBeer for my E-HERMS build, I ended up going to a low-flow DC pump for HLT recirculation as this was overkill. This is the stainless head, 3/4" center inlet, 1/2" outlet model. This pump has roughly 20...

This is a write-up on how to use a Brewhemoth conical, tri-clover strainer/filter from Brewer's Hardware, and a few fittings to keg clean beers under pressure even with tons of pellet dry hops! WARNING!!! The process described in this write up requires pressurization of a conical fermenter...

Up for sale is one Barley Crusher with 7lb hopper, well cared for. I back-calculated the batches I have run through it, and it has faithfully milled ~800lbs of grain for me. The rollers turn freely, it works great. It is for sale as pictured, with no base or crank handle. I have been using it...

I put together my first labelled, VIP, limited release, fall seasonal bottling yesterday :fro: The idea here is that the labels will be used for all my beers, and then the smaller, vertical label on the right contains the info about the actual beer in the bottle. Lets me label everything I...

Sold. This is a 15 gallon plastic cylindro-conical fermentor. They have been talked about here on hbtalk to a great extent. This one is new, I ended up upgrading to a Brewhemoth before I put in into service. It has been cleaned & sanitized. Included: Ace Roto Mold 15 Gallon Full Drain...

I'll be planting my first rhizomes next year. Right now, I'm planning and will soon be building raised beds to prepare. My prime spot, on the side of my garage, gets direct sun for 1/3 of the day. The morning is blocked by the garage itself, and then the evening is filtered through trees. Is...

I am about to embark on a Wit-a-thon. I have the ability to do proper temp controlled ferment and aging now, so I'm ready to take on one of the things that has been on my waiting list the longest - my kind of Wit. Goals: Proper Wit visual charcter Mild Expression of Clove, Pepper, Fruit...

These are left over from my wedding last summer. I don't have receipts and no one will take them back. I even phoned a distributor and asked if they'd give me a few bucks each and they said no. So, here they are! As you can see, the one on the right is essentially new. I have used one of them...

I picked up a new 2.5 gallon corny along with the 5s I ordered recently from Keg Connection, mostly because I've always just wanted one :fro: But I got to thinking, what do people do with these? Split a 5 gallon batch to fit more easily in the fridge? Keg 2.5 and bottle 2.5? Store yeast...

Up for sale are 4 ball lock soda kegs and parts. I use these regularly, and they have been in service with me for 2 years. I am upgrading to new soda kegs. I have reconditioned all of these, and they are all in good working condition, and not full of anything weird like root beer. Here's...

I've been reading off and on for years about using pure O2. I have seen tons of conflicting information. I am brewing a batch soon (OG 1.054, 11 gallons) with WLP810 San Francisco Lager. I'll be doing a 4pack/3L starter for this batch. I bought the O2 kit from Williams (this one), but have...

I brewed NB's furious clone a while back, and I'm very disappointed in how it's turning out. I should note that this was done on not at all my normal process. I'm between brew systems, so this was a 3 gallon partial stovetop boil, extract, topped up to kit volume of 5 gallons. Here's the...

I need the mounting bracket that normally ships with a new Blichmann Therminator. I accidentally sold mine along with my previous brew system, without realizing it had come with my chiller. If anyone has one they are not using, I'd be happy to buy it from you! PM me if you have one available...
