Getting all set up for tomorrow's brew day #92, Dead Guy Ale on deck. Stand back gentlemen, I'm doing science.

On deck for today, Dead Guy Ale. One of my fav's this time of the year. getting ready to fire up HLT once last 2 gallons of RO water is finished making. Jammin to "Left Hand Free" Alt-J :tank:

Nope, I didn't break yet another hydrometer, didn't drop another carboy, I didn't even find another nest of ants had moved into my keggle, nor did that bird drop poop in my mash tun (yes, it's happened), this time it was my pump box, that wonderful DIY project that keeps my pumps neatly together...

Getting ready for the weekend brewday. Thinking a nice Summer Ale or Lime a Wizen. :rockin:

Just so happens this is my 1000th post and by dumb luck my huge SCORE today. I was talking to a guy we recently hired and quickly became friends with about my beer obsession. He mentions he has a beer he's been holding onto that he got from his brother, but he wasn't really THAT into beer. So he...

Just getting geared up for tomorrows brew day. Starter made, RO water made, HLT filled. Ready to fire up. Brewing UnDead Guy Ale. Got some Hopslam and Nuget Nectar to get me through Brew Day :ban:

Brewed up a nice DIPA, OG came in at 1.080, just waiting in the primary to settle down and then I'll be tossing in the dry hops for 7 days then transfer to seonday for another 7-10 days, chill, carb, and enjoy. Didn't really have any Snafu's this brew, although final amount in carboy should have...

Been brewing for many years, but just started up a reefing hobby (and you thought brewing gadgets got pricey) well I bought a 5 stage 75gpd RO/DI unit that I'm thinking of using to brew with also. I always send out a sample to wards every year or so and its always different results. I'm sure the...

Been dragging arse this morning, but heating up water for todays brew, BM's Black Pearl Porter. Grains crushed, starter chillin, salts measured, counting crows playin. Anyone else brewin? :D

I asked this in the "Equipment" forum but it didn't catch much attention. I need to order these replacements soon so I'm trying in here also. I'm looking for a McMaster p/n to replace the o-rings on CPC poly type quick disconnects, all the "beer" stores online want a buck a piece for an...

I can't see paying a buck a piece for an o-ring. Anyone have a McMaster p/n that matches it? (for 1/2" male)

Stater finished yesterday, its chillin today while we brew. Got the three S's done, about to grab some coffee and open the brew house. Got an hour or so of maint issues to finish before lighting the flame. Cya round 9. I'll do photos as we go, by all means load up you own brewday shots, its not...

If you can't ride the hog, might as well brew eh? Doing BM's Continental Blonde for an easy drinker this weekend. I will be trying out the new HERMS setup I finished last night for the first time. No PID controllers or anything fancy, just a way to circulate mash and maintain temps in the cooler...

Anyone have a proven method to share? Search's have turned up very little and I've already jacked up the first five feet of tubing trying to bend it by hand. I have a Rigid bender but its for "conduit" type tubes not the coil I have now. I tried doing it by hand as was suggested on the electric...

I'm pretty much all stainless now, Swagelok connectors for my dip tubes and HERMS coil, SS dip tubes, SS 3 pc ball valves, etc. Currently I'm taking apart all the connections after each brew and soaking in PBW. I kind of enjoy it, its fun and I have a large work shop to do it in. I'm just now...

Have you ever noticed you look at the price of a Blichmann (Blingmann) brew pot and wig out at the 350+ $'s but have no problem at all dropping 400 bucks on pumps, SS fittings, 3 pc Ball valves, quick disconnects, and tubing? Happened to me yesterday, was looking at a Blingmann and thinking WOW...

Good lord, I have the jitters, must be withdraw. :fro: They blew a server and are waiting on a shiny new one. Now what do I do while I'm at work? :drunk:
