I've been looking to convert my biab setup from propane to 120v electric. 10 gallon batches just don't make sense anymore, so I want to do a simple 5 gallon setup that I can use for distillation when I'm not doing beer. I love the convenience of the Robobrew but at over $500 here in Ontario it's...

I've been debating weather the cost of electric brewing out ways the convenience for a long time now. I also have my own Reflux Still with a keg boiler, to go along with my 20 gallon biab setup, ran off propane. I always wanted to build a multi use 240v controller that I could use to, mash...

I have a cider that has been in primary for 3.5 weeks now and seems stuck at 1.010. Can I use some amylase enzymes to help finish? I use it all the time to dry out some beer recipes but never tried it in a case like this. I used champagne yeast and fermented at 68!

Believe it or not I built this for $50! The 90 degree shanks were on sale for $10, the handles were $2, the taps are on clearance for $6 and the tower came straight outa China for $12 shipped! The cheap one I ordered was supposed to be black but this chrome one showed up, score! The tower...

I'm building a keezer, I am going to use my old fridge for a fermentation chamber. If I set the thermostat as high as it goes and it keeps the fridge at 55-60 degrees why even bother with a temperature controller?

I let cider ferment down to 1.000 then primed with 3/4 cup of dextrose. Bottles sat on basement floor for a month at 58f opened one and it had no carbonation, so I put them upstairs for the last week and a half where it's 70f. If these do carbon are they going to turn into bombs? Do I have to...

Just tried a couple of these the other day and would love to make a batch. Has anyone made this with any success?

I am a BIAB'er and I usually get around 80% eff, The last two Kolsh's I have done have had terrible eff, 63%! I couldn't figure out why until I put the white wheat in my barley crusher today, that is set a .035 and heard the sound of grain passing the gap and hitting the bottom of the bucket...

I just did my first yeast wash. I am confused how to re-pitch it. I washed some WLP209 from a Kolsh that I had under pitched. It was my first time using liquid yeast and didn't think I need a starter. My OG. was 1.046 and my FG. after 3 weeks in primary was 1.009, beer tastes great, so...

I have some leftovers that I want to use up before ordering my next shipment. This is what I have left, looking for some input on a hop schedule and and what white labs or dry yeast to use(can't lager right now)! I will be doing BIAB, here's what I have. 1.5 oz centennial 8# 2-row 1# 8oz...

I was thinking of getting one of these.http://www.ebay.ca/itm/100-240VAC-PID-Temperature-Controller-Max-40A-SSR-Heat-Sink-2m-K-probe-/300827865405?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item460abcf13d&_uhb=1#ht_1474wt_966 with one of these...

It seems to me that there is a lot of unnecessary pieces in most peoples EBIAB Builds. Don't get me wrong I think these things are awesome but has nobody built any simple versions? Why have a switch for the heat, should the temperature controller not do that? Turn the PID on you have heat...

I have been doing 5-10 gallon BIAB now for a couple years now with great success! Now its winter here in Ontario and it's freezing out so I want to bring the brewing inside. I have a 13.5 Euro keggle that i have been using, I want to add a 240v element to it so I can stay inside, like this...

I wanted to try a 10 Gallon BIAB but I only have a 13.5gallon Keggle, problem! I figured it was going to be a PITA but I'd give it a shot. I used this recipe, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/centennial-blonde-simple-4-all-grain-5-10-gall-42841/ And this is the way I did it. I added 11 gallons...

Use that stupid cooler for what it is meant for, keeping your beer cold. Do BIAB and never worry about your crush, temp, sparge, how open your valve is, or how fast your draining. Every day there is 10 new posts about poor efficiency and they cant figure out why, but none of those posts are...

Challenger 60 min .5 oz crystal 30 min .5 oz williamette 15 min Safeale us-05 I am hoping for a very light coloured, crisp beer for my...

I am looking to do my first AG BIAB. I am looking for an easy 5 Gal recipe (step by step). I have a 30 Quart turkey fryer and a large bag. I live in Kingston Ontario and AG hasn't seemed to caught on here yet. I was going to order a kit online but $50 for a keg of brew just ain't worth the...

I dropped my carboy yesterday while transfering from primary! I still had about 1 gal left in primary that i managed to save! I want to bottle it, so how much sugar should I put per 341ml bottle? my basement stinks like a bar in the morning!!!:mad::mad::mad:

What is the best way to force carb my beer? the Beer is already at 33C after cold crashing! Was gonna set and forget but I want it tomorrow! Any help I'm thirsty!!!

I did a batch of Coopers Lager with Pale malt extract(left it in primary for 3 weeks racked into carboy and stuck it into the fridge with airlock at 32C) It's been in there a week now and it is crystal clear! The problem I have Is I am still waiting for my regulator! So how should i store it...
