All - I am installing my single compartment sink with drainboard. I have it leveled side-side/front-back, but the backsplash has a noticeable pitch away from the wall...

All, I'd like to move beyond the basic inkbird temperature controller in order to save and track my temperatures during fermentation and cold crashing. I was considering building a craftbeerpi controller to do just that. The advantage is that i can monitor my diy glycol chiller temperature and...

So my chiller build is not going smoothly. For reasons I don't want to talk about, I pulled the wrong fins off and set them into the cooler. It was at that time that I realized that I had the wrong one so I started the process of getting it back in place. I was able to get the fins in place but...

I'm building a DIY glycol chiller and i keep seeing people putting a temperature probe into the glycol bath. I feel like this is a dumb question, but what's the purpose of the probe in the bath? I assume that i want to have my probe in the thermowell of the conical and that's it.

I came across some dme that I had with an old kit. The bag is unopened, but there's also no date to determine its age. What's the shelf life for it?

This is a new in (opened) box plastic conical. It wall mounts (included) or a base can be purchased separately. I'm asking 70. Shipping would be additional, but can be discussed. Located in Fredericksburg, VA

All, I totally brainfarted when making a 10-gallon extract gose. I added 6lbs mix of briess light, and bavarian. I measured out my gravity and wrote it down without actually paying attention to how low it is. i'm about a 1.5 weeks after brew day, and i haven't taken my FG yet, but is it too...

bought this off my neighbor who had it built for him. It's no-name equipment, but he successfully brewed delicious all grain on it for a number of years. It's plumbed for NG. Don't have the kettle sizes, but it's appropriately sized for 5 gallon batches. Includes: boil kettle, mash run, hot...

I just received 2 packets of WLP029. One of them was darker and thicker than the other. Both were well within their use by date. Should i have any concerns for off flavors or problems pitching? I have a starter for both of them going, so i'm hoping that will alleviate any issues.

Hey all, I'm a longtime extract brewer prepping to get into the 10 gallon EBIAB game. Since it's a nice snowy night in VA, i figure i'd try to get ahead on my brew room. As part of finishing my basement, i have annexed the storage room for brewing. I plan on utilizing brundog's condenser setup...

First off, i'll apologize for this question b/c i'm sure it's all been covered before. There's so information, and i'll be honest, i'm overwhelmed. I read up on electricbrewery.com, but it's way to big of a project (size and cost) than i can deal with right now. I've been on...

Push me to the right thread if this isn't the place to discuss this. I left a container of starsan on my laminate countertop for well too long. There apparently was some that ran down the outside of the container and onto the countertop. Now there is a white-ish ring where the container sat...

I've decided that i'd like to make a apricot hefeweizen. I made up a Honeyweizen kit from NB, and I'd like to add the apricots to the secondary. I couldn't find fresh or frozen apricots, so i pickedup on some cans of apricot in pear juice. So my questions are: 1) are these acceptable? 2)...

I want to do an extract brew. I started thinking about a vanilla porter, but then realized i love milk stouts as well. Does anyone know of a Vanilla Milk Stout recipe or kit. I would like to use beans rather than an vanilla extract. Thanks!

I live out in the country and consequently have a septic system. B/c of this, i can't dump my one-step or PBW down the drain. Can anyone give me any insight how it would affect the soil / grass/ etc if i dumped it outside?

Plenty of people have spoken up about sanitizing your bottles in the dishwasher, but has anyone wrapped the tops with saran wrap after that? I've been doing it lately and it seems to be working well. If the bottles are still warm then as the cool, they will actually pull the wrap into the...

I just got back into brewing after a 3-4 year hiatus. My first batch was an extract hefeweizen with all new equipment. I was unable to get my og b/c i found that my hydrometer was broken on shipment. I had about a 30 hour lag before fermentation. After that fermentation went well for 2-3...

I've assisted in about a dozen brewing sessions w/ one of my buddies. Since he was the one w/ the equipment, i never really needed my own. Well, he moved, so i'm left w/o a way to brew. I'd like to get a kegging kit, but i also know that i need the full brewing setup. I'd like to do all...
