It’s been a while since I made a long post on HBT… I have been brewing all grain for about 15 years. This means 2 things - one, I am old and two, I built my brewery to be a three vessel, 2 pump, fly sparge system. I became re-engaged with the brewing community over the past couple years, and...

Asking for a sanity check here... if I am right, it could evolve into a pretty good process. Please think about my post and let me know your thoughts. I have been fermenting 5 gallon batches with 30L Speidel’s for past few years, and kegging all of my beers. The fermentors are elevated above...

Two items for sale. First is a Dual Body CO2 Regulator. This is the CO2PO model from Northern Brewer. It is new in box. A single regulator and manifold was a better fit for my kegerator, so the dual body went unused. Asking $75 shipped for regulator. Next is my Hanna Instrument HI190M Stir...

Selling my CFC chiller w/ caddy and a Morebeer Ultimate Sparge Arm. I am the original owner of both, and they are in excellent condition. The Stainless CFC came from Williams Brewing. The beer inlet/outlet is stainless 1/2” Male NPT threads. The hose connections are male hose thread and 1/2”...

Hello HBT - it has been a while. After a move and a baby, I brewed (double batch) for the first time in almost 2 years. After 10 years of bottling, I got the go ahead for a basic keezer set up. I went with the Draft Brewer Dual System from NB and a 7 cu ft freezer. Following assembly and...

I love a great IPA. From what I hear, some of the best IPA's in the country are coming out of a little brewery in CA called Firestone Walker. I have made the Union Jack clone featured on CYBI, and I can't believe how great it came out. I have also tasted the Union Jack and Double Jack, and...

SOLD to Beersawks ***shipping included*** $50 buys everything. I edited listing because some items sold and other members asked for pictures. These are same size (1/2″OD, 3/8″ID) as the mini tri-clamp fittings that are featured on the Sabco system. Three sets of...

SOLD I am asking $50. (***Shipping Included - anywhere in US***) I am selling a blue, 5 gallon (Lowes branded) Igloo mash tun. The cooler itself is in outstanding condition, because it had previously been used only as a hot liquor tank. No scratches, no stains. All of the hardware is...

SOLD I just bought new Polarware kettles, which come with welded fittings and new ball valves, so I am selling my weldless spigots. I have 2 sets for sale, each built and installed exactly like the spigots sold at More Beer. Weldless Spigot - Stainless | MoreBeer...

This thread was inspired by this post... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/32-qt-40-qt-ss-5-gallon-batches-280240/ A question in that thread about kettle selection for 5 gallon batches prompted this post. Maybe this will give someone in a similar position something to think about. I...

I have been bottling for almost 3 years, and I have recently embraced the need for perfectly clean bottles. Personally, I like a hot soak in PBW for 30 minutes or so, before rinsing and spraying with Star-san. The problem was that it was always a bear to get the bottles filled with PBW...

Last weekend, my dad and I stopped for lunch at Artisan's in Toms River, NJ. As we were walking in, I spotted their brewer, Dave Hoffman (who also has his own NJ brewery - Climax) outside taking a break. I introduced myself and just mentioned I was a big fan of the Climax product. We chatted...

Time to clone this thing! I am looking to revisit an old "recipe" for Tröegs Nugget Nectar. The brothers were on the Sunday (Monday) Session a couple weeks ago, and this beer came up. I know they really limit distribution to the Mid-Atlantic, but I have had this beer direct from the brewery...

Last weekend, I brewed a Belgian Pale Ale. I designed the recipe around my typical 75% efficiency. I had made a couple adjustments to my equipment over the past 6 months (namely, opening my BC back up to factory setting and switching to a false bottom in my round MLT). I've always felt that...

It always catches my eye when a TV show uses the same product placements over and over again. Two beer examples come to mind, but one really pisses me off. I have seen it discussed before, but the show Weeds constantly has Stone Brewing as a featured product. Andy drinks it, they have...

Do not fear all-grain brewing. Intro There have been lots of threads (recently and historically) about concerns with consistency and accuracy in all-grain brewing. Stuck sparges, missed mash temps, volume control problems (collected too much/not enough, mash wouldn’t fit in tun...

I havn't seen a discussion about this yet, and since I just purchased it myself, I feel safe posting. Gordon Strong, who was awarded the Ninkasi at the last three NHC's, just released his book. In addition to his unreal success at the NHC, he is also a Level V Grand Master BJCP judge - so I...

I have been using 1/2 of a whirlfloc tablet in my 5 gallon batches for a year or so. There is a ton of conflicting information about when to add it. 5-10 minutes before knockout, 15 minutes before knockout, 20 minutes, or even at the professional level, in a whirlpool. I came across a...
