Man, miss brewing. Bad. Miss posting on here as well... don't even recognize some of the people on here anymore. Sold my system last year after having it sit idle collecting dust for over a year and a half. Life just got too busy, and couldn't justify having it around with a crappy economy...

I am offering my B3 single tier 20 gallon system up for sale (see my gallery). It is a HERMS system, comes complete with convoluted counter flow chiller, immersion chiller, 27.5 gallon blichmann fermenter, 3 pumps (one with stainless head), aerator unit. This system has a control panel, has...

Nevermind!!

Ok, I know they're pricey. Aside from that, does anyone here own/use one of these, or know of someone who does?? I'm curious how efficient the cooling is from the pelt devices, and how usable these things would be to ferment in a lager range (they advertise 30-35 degrees below ambient...

:mad: Ok, I went and bought a nitro setup for my stouts/porters... before I invested in this, I called my local gas supplier (airgas), who assured me they sold beverage gas mixes. When I got my tank and went in, they told me they couldn't fill a 5lb nitrogen cylinder with beverage gas. They...

I am running into a malt supply problem. I use between 35 and 60 pounds of malt for each brew. I could really use a supplier of bulk malt that won't charge me an arm and a leg, as well as a supplier who will sell to a homebrewer to the tune of 5-8 55# bags of malt at a time. Anyone have any...

As many of you have seen, I drastically upgraded my system to a single tier, 20 gallon morebeer pro system (see pics) back in July. So, I have this awesome system, and I have yet to brew on it. Its hooked up, I have about 5 pounds of various hops, 300 lbs of grain, and a brand new 27...

So, as some of you are aware, I am going through a divorce. . .one thing my friends often say to me, is "don't give up who you are," and "be aware of the rebound phenomenon." Well. . . I think I'm rebounding ... and one thing I'm not doing is forgetting who I am! Enjoy the pics. . . This...

Anyone ever used this yeast?? I got some by accident, and can't find much info about it--the Fermentis site is vague about its profile. It states "Top cropping ale yeast for top fermented beers with low esters and wheat beers." So does that mean its a wheat beer yeast?? And if so, what...

I've been using the S05 and S04, and S23 for awhile now with good results. I'm curious if anyone has any experience with S-33?? Specifically, I'm interested in the perceived flavor profile. Thanks!!:mug:

Ummm. . . . so. . .. what does everything think of this for a larger-than-normal beer fermenter (without me going into much detail);) ?? http://morewinepro.com/view_product/7456/100453

Ok, I have today to brew. I have an AG Bock planned. Here's the dilemma: My 1 gallon lager starter (2 vials of yeast pitched about 24 hours ago) is not doing a damned thing. As usual, I keep my starters at around the same temp as my planned fermentation (this one is at 58 degrees, and the...

Curious question-- I have a mod-high gravity ale (winter welcome--A.G., 12 gallons) that isn't reaching its FG. I pitched an appropriate count of Safale S04, and it only dropped the gravity from 1.078 to 1.026. It was an otherwise brisk, healthy fermentation that actually needed a...

One of my biggest frustrations with my system has always been the loss of temp in the mash tun and the lack of control over my HLT temps. So, I insulated both my mash tun and HLT with Reflectix, and aluminum tape. I'm hoping this will work well, since I'm pretty sure it will be a royal PITA to...

I went to my LHBS today, and he pulled a box full of wild hops he had picked from the countryside from behind the counter and gave them to me (no cost).. . I went home and measured that he had given me 6.5 oz. I tried to replicate a recipe that I had done earlier. . an IPA recipe.. . but...

OK, so I put SWMBO to work trying to help me design a logo for my brewery. So she came up with 3 designs and a label. She put them on my desk this AM, and didn't give me the digital files, so I had to scan them in, so the colors, etc look a little washed out. I need everyone's input...

Found these growing in the countryside. There were several bines, all climbing up things going clockwise, and they appear to be hops (no flowers yet) I (accidentally--seriously) pulled up some roots/rhizomes, so I cut them off. . .there was a car driving back and forth wondering what I was...

Sorry for the rant. . .but . . . I currently have an administrative position. I am over 3000 providers and 82 agencies. I am currently on the $#it list of our biggest agency (50% of our system), and my BOSS is on the payroll of that agency. By law, I am over my boss, but in...

I know this is probably nothing. . . well, here goes.... I brewed a schwarzbier yesterday (see my schwarzbier thread under Recipes/Ingredients for details). I'm fermenting it in my lagering fridge at 46 degrees F. Its bubbling like mad. I split the batch into two 6.5 gallon carboys...
