Hey Central California Brewers, I figured I'd get a dedicated thread going here for Worthog Announcements. Our next meeting is August 17th at Tioga-Sequoia. This will be a joint meeting with our friends from TCHops! We're really looking forward to a great day with both clubs! Our meetings...

http://www.visaliabeerfest.com/ Anyone going? Looks like it's going to be a great line up. Hope to see some HBTs out there.

Hey all, I feel like I'm missing something here, and maybe the experts can help me get this element attached right. I'm trying to leak test my HLT element. If I keep the black gasket that came with the element (as seen in the picture) AND the orange gasket that came with the nut from...

This is the first recipe I've tried to formulate. 10lb Maris Otter 2lb Wheat Malt 1.5lb Crystal 120L 1.25lb Roast Barley 1.25lb Choc. Malt 1.25lb CaraPils 1lb Brown Sugar (last 10 minutes of boil) I've been getting crap efficiency (like 60ish% lately) so I've figure this around 1.070 for a...

Hi All, I'm installing the element on my eHLT and can't get the lock nut to thread if I leave the stock gasket on the outside of the sanke keg. Do you guys just remove it, or do I need to just muscle that sucker on there? Thanks!

I'm going to be in San Francisco next weekend and have a few hours to kill. Not enough to head up to Russian River (will do that in November). Any "must-visit" beer stores/pubs? I'll probably grab a pint at Magnolia since that will basically be the neighborhood I'll be around for most of the...

I'm sure it's going to be tough to match the Rum barrel aging, but wondering about the grain/hop bill.

I just ordered an Arduino to start messing around with the temp controllers/monitors that have been posted here before. :rockin: What project boxes are you guys that have done it using to house the board, etc? Thanks!

Can I reuse the brass bulkheads that I have for my igloo cube MLT/HLT on sanke kegs until I am able to aquire stainless/weldless hardware? I have two sets of the parts for this setup: 60qt Ice Cube mash tun

I just scored 3 sankes. Got the valves out and cleaning the kegs up to cut the lids this weekend. Is there any use for the tubes? Seems like a decent stainless tube to just toss.

Would I be causing any problems with my kegerator (chest freezer) if I set the temp high (like 50-60 degrees)? I don't have any beer in the keg right now (i know, for shame :tank:)... but I will be brewing 2 batches tomorrow. It's hot here (100ish outside, 78-84 in the house) and these need...

I've been trying to resolve some foaming issues. Currently my PSI is sittling a little below 10, right around 7 or 8. I think the beer was initially overcarbed so I turned the gas off and bled the keg off over the course of a day or so until it seemed like there wasn't much "extra" gas coming...

I've seen talk here that skinning a keezer with wood could create a heat issue. Would the same apply for a metal based skin like diamond plate? I'm considering using it on mine to fit into a garage/man-cave theme. Thanks.

I've got a Dos Equis clone that has been in the primary for two weeks. There is a nice layer of foam on top and it seems to be doing very well, no funky smells or anything like that. Do I wait until that foam drops before moving to the secondary? Or can it be moved anytime? Thanks!

So I'm planning on doing my first All-Grain batch soon and thinking it will be the Dos Equis recipe from "Clone Brews". The directions say to Mash at 122 degrees for 30 minutes then 150 for 60 minutes. How do you achieve this in a cooler style mash tun? Thanks!
