This is out of the reach of most homebrewers but it was pretty neat to play with. It has super smooth action. All you need to do is hold the handle and push forward. There is an animation on their website that shows how it works. Momentum Development

This is an interesting device. Could end up being useful for DIY homebrew. ............wired.com/epicenter/2011/11/twine-cloud-smart-environments/

I am working on a new project for the brewery that I thought you guys might like to see. Fairly simple manual bottling line. We are working on putting out 22oz bombers locally and needed a somewhat efficient way to do it. I got a 12 spot bottle rinse device from morebeer, 2 counter pressure...

I am selling all of our brewing equipment. Malt Mill, 6 glacier tanks, temp control system and electric brewing system. This system could also be used as a great 1bbl brewery by eliminating one of the mashtuns and use the second boil kettle as a HLT. Here are some pics of what will be available...

I am having a hard time finding a continuous duty pump for my DIY fermentation cooler. I have gone through two types of pumps and for various reasons they were not working. The last pump worked well but ended up not being able to handle the duty and burned up. I am pushing RV antifreeze from...

So I am brewing today and on both of my boil kettles one of the elements are not working. When I test the relays I have 120v on each leg but when I measure across both legs I get weird readings of 7-20v. If I turn the relays off I get 240v across the legs but, turn on the relay again and I get...

Bonfire Brewing is officially open for business. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/bonfirebrewing It has been a long hard road to get to this point. We would not have been able to do it without the help of the good people of HBT. Almost everything I learned about brewing came from this...

So we finally made it. We open our doors today. Serving our first beers to the paying public. Our finishing touch to the bar is a copper drain that a local gutter company made for us. Thought you all would like it.

Hey All! I needs some ideas for improving my cooling system. I made a bit of an error in my design. I have a freezer with coolant in a bucket. I have temp sensors and controllers. Selenoid valves and stainless immersion chillers. The failed link is my submersible pump. I did not even consider...

As some of you know I am opening a taproom and small brewery here in Eagle. I am building a new system and planning on 3bbl brew days. Well my pasta maker grain mill just doesn't seem to fit into that plan. So I bought a barebones JSP mill. I got the hardened rollers, hardened gear option...

I spend a fair bit of time on I70 to and from work. I often see beer trucks from local and regional breweries. I thought it would be fun to have people post pics of them here in one thread. I saw a New Belgium truck today. Notice all the taps coming from the side of the trailer.

I sent 4 Stainless steel barrels to a welder to have the fittings put in. I pre-drilled the holes and fit the couplings in so they would not have too much work to do. So they quoted me over the phone about 3-4 hours to do the work. Well I call them today and they say it is going to take them...

Here is a video of a TED speech. It somewhat explains group colaboration for ideas in peoples spare time. When I listened to it I thought of HBT. We all share ideas to help progress our knowledge and others at the same time. Very interesting speech...

A little background. My friends and I go to a concert festival called Rock Jam in western Colorado. Last year I bought a 24' diameter surplus parachute and we put a 18 foot pole in the center. It made the perfect sun tent for our camp site. Well this year I decided that the tent needs air...

I have been looking through posts about RIMS tubes and the possibility of using it for on Demand Sparging. Who has used a rims tube for this function? I would like to design and build a tube for this function. Here are the questions I have about this: 1.What size heating element(s)...

I am ordering several of these tanks for use in my brewery. I am getting two for each style of beer. One to ferment in and one for clearing/tax determination. http://www.glaciertanks.com/Vertical%20Tanks.htm Here is my question. How can I modify the tank to show me an accurate measurement of...

I am looking into building a portable kegging system to take to town concerts and beer festivals. I am planning on converting a square rolling cooler like a build I saw here on HBT. Ebay has a bunch of mini regulators that fit paintball tanks. Most of them are used in aquarium applications...

I needed to clean my taps tonight and decided to stop by lowes and see what I could get. I am sure this is not a new concept but I figured I would share. $8 garden sprayer $2 adapter Free: Spare parts laying around. Including ball lock poppet, brass barb, and brass tube. You could make it...

I have just acquired 4 55 gallon stainless drums. (previous life was maple syrup). I am planning on building a system that will allow me to do double batches to fill a 100 gallon fermentor. I plan to make this system electric. Here are the questions I have for those with systems of this size...

I spend way too much time in forums throughout the day. Bikes, Beer, Electronics, Kayaking, and a few more from time to time. What I have recently noticed is that some of the forums have an off-topic section for Music. This has been a great source for new music. Each different forum seems to...
