I'm in the Atlanta area. I have a Blichmann BoilerMaker G1 15Gal I want to sell. I figure at this price is shouldn't take long. I've brewed with it maybe 3 times and it's been sitting in my closet for a few years - it's in great condition. Due to its size and weight it would most likely be...

Need to make some room, looking to sell some stuff. I live in Atlanta and will deliver if you are nearby. For anyone else in the US you will need to cover shipping (I'll get a quote if you're interested). Will sell it all together for $300. 15 Gal G1 Boilermaker $250 Barley Crusher Malt...

Ok so after 13 hours of brewing, we finally finished. Over a barrel of beer made in 13 hours. 5 - 6gal AG batches and a 6 gal apfelwein. The rain held out until just as we packed everything up and it's pouring out now. Lucky day and it really went well. Here is the final product and there...

The thermapen is hands down the best thermometer on the market. This is the newer model that is splash proof and has the huge LED readout. I have purchased several 15-20 dollar thermometers only to have them crap out after a few months when steam or water hits them. The $100 price tag puts...

This forum has been a great resource to me and has helped me elevate my brewing every time I log on! So let me start by saying thanks for that to everyone who contributes. I have had a tragic even unfold in my life recently that I wanted to tell everyone about. I'm trying to reach as many...

I know it's in the wrong forum, but I'm not sure how long the code is good for, and I wanted to make sure all of you got a chance to see it. Mods feel free to move it if you want. If you go to papajohns.com and log, enter the promo code pzzafbfan and voila, a free medium cheese pizza. My...

I decided recently to snag 4lbs of hops because hops direct is so damn cheap. The problem is I have roomies and our freezer is always full. So I've been looking at chest freezers for hop storage and am kind of unsure which way to go. Right now I have the hops stored in my kegerator, which...

This is probably my 14th or so AG batch and really other than some volume issues I've never really had anything go wrong. I suppose yesterday was my day. I had made an American stout that I was interested in recreating but with a few changes. I ordered the ingredients for 2 6-gallon...

Entered this into a homebrew comp, and got solid scores for flavor, aroma, and everything else. Judges stated however that it lacked the "in your face" of an american stout. This is more or less a copy of the SN stout clone from BYO a while back. I'm assuming they mean they were looking for...

I kegged up a belgian wit (blue moon clone) the other day and started carbing it up. I decided to tap it and sample the beer but to my dismay nothing came out of the tap. I did the sanyo conversion with the dual tap tower. I unhooked the other keg and popped the liquid out line from the...

This is the BYO clone from ages ago adjusted for 6 gal batch and AAU's of my locally available hops. This is the second stout I have brewed but the first american. The head color was darker than the previous breakfast stout. During the earlier gravity readings the roasted flavors from the...

I read all the allergy threads here, but I still don't know what's up w/a friend of mine. Here's the story. I have a friend who has always been fond of drinking. We have drank just about every kind of alcohol under the sun and plenty of it. However since I have been homebrewing I have...

I have a LHBS about 15 minutes away from where I work. It's pretty convenient and lately I haven't really been planning ahead enough with my recipes to order, so I just stop by and pick up what I need. However every time I go there the guy seems let me down in one way or another. Let me give...

So I decided to grab lunch at a BBQ joint near my house. The only decent beer they had on tap was Widmer, which I happen to like so I ordered one. It looked like banana colored milk. The waitress said it was a brand new keg. Anyway I like hefe's and enjoy the cloudy appearance, but it wasn't...

I recently did the Sanyo 4912 conversion and the kegging went pretty well. I have two corny kegs, a dual regulator co2 setup. I kegged up a 5 gallon batch of apfelwein, and approx 4 gallons of amber ale. I decided to carb them at 30 psi for 24 hours, then tune it back to 10 psi for a few...

Ok so I had a thread a few weeks back about my thus named "Epic Fail Pale Ale™" and how I was pretty sure I F'd it up. Notable idiotic moves were boiling the 2 oz cascade for 60 and 1 oz for 1 min (yes one min lol) instead of all 3 for 60 per the recipe. My OG reading was 1.020, an...

Update: So I went to my LHBS for some bottle caps yesterday and I asked him if I was doing something wrong, or did the caps just not fit. He checked and sure enough the orange caps are too big, the maroon caps are too small. He said something about the design of the BB changing slightly and...

I made my first brew 8 days ago and let it sit in primary until yesterday. I went to brew my second batch and transfered to a secondary just to free up a bucket. The question is I took my OG reading and it was a super low 1.021ish for an extra pale ale which should have been closer to 1.05 I...

Ok so beerfest round 2 is over. This time was a breakfast stout. My OG was 1.0465, which is right in the range of where I wanted to be. My previous thread was about how my extra pale ale, despite all temps being just fine, seemed to measure WAY too log in OG and SG throughout the...
