Out of sorrow and desperation, I tried to fill the homebrewcon sized hole in my soul by attending the CBC. In fact, I'm sitting the Las Vegas airport waiting for my redeye flight back home right now. The CBC was weird because I'm not a pro brewer and I went by myself. It had its positive vibes...

From this: To this: For $5... Currently available for 15 and 20 gallon kettle sizes. 10G coming soon. https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/cal_blichmann.htm

I'm just showing off one of the biggest pains in my ass fabrication projects I've completed. It's not pretty, but it also doesn't leak so that's winning. 3 separate 30ft coils of 5/16" OD stainless running in parallel. It's kind of similar to Jaded chillers but the stainless ones have been out...

I've cut back on drinking quite a bit so I can't justify large batches. I enjoy brewing quite a bit more than the drinking part so I've been splitting 6 gallon batches into 2 separate fermentations to keep up the hobby and learn a lot more from a academic standpoint. Yeast comparisons, fruits...

If anyone is interested, I'm getting a bunch of Homebrew Packs of Omega's Bayern DKO (OYL-433) so I'm offering it as preorder right now. Should be here by the end of August. Bayern is an extremely versatile German lager strain that I and many of my local friends use on anything from Helles...

I believe I've brewed enough hazy NEIPA to be comfortable with my grain bills and two-hop combos, and I have a few medals to back that up. I've never really brewed a classic non-hazy IPA that knocked my socks off. I started down the road of making that a project. I figured one good place to...

I thought it would be cool to share a non-beery thing with y'all. Be nice, these my kids. We started doing these when everyone was stuck home during Covid lockdowns.

There's been plenty of discussion regarding open fermentation's effect on ester expression across any style that benefits from pushed esters. It's been way more popular lately to talk about pressure fermenting to have the opposite effect (ester suppression). Anyway, one thing I didn't find was...

If you've been in the hobby a while, you may know that I was one of the OG brewtubers. I would never suggest that my content was particularly ground breaking or special, but it was out there pretty early (2007). It was never going to be a career in and of itself, but I was earning some ad...

The Garden State Homebrewers just pulled off a huge victory in the race for NJ club of the year. This is the 3rd year in a row that we've won the title, but we were trailing by 8 points in the standings leading up to the last qualifying competition. The total point tally was 246 and the second...

15 years ago I brewed my 4th batch of all grain homebrew (Brit Golden/ Light Bitter) and that was the first batch where I sat out on the deck with a pint and realized it was a great beer. I'm not suggesting that by my current standards it was amazing, but at the time it was indistinguishable...

$160 including shipping to the U.S. The 2" shanks can handle up to 5/8 (.625") wall.

I'm not posting this as an expert on this controller. This is just a place to have discussions about its functionality. I'm a huge fan of the EZboil concept having used the DSPR120 in my controller for at least 4 years. The major departures from typical PIDs are as follows: 1. No need to tune...

Have you folks noticed that they shortened this year's club night to only 2 hours? 7:30 to 9:30pm It's unbelievable. Any time my club has poured, the old 3.5 hour went by in a flash. Most clubs will likely spend more time setting up and breaking down their booth than the whole pouring session...

Ok, my 25 year old electronics education is now failing me. Keep in mind that I was being a bit lazy in that I wired this thing as I went using what I can only figure was brazen overconfidence. After it didn't function the way I was expecting, I decided to trace everything and document what I...

I've been offering these classes far less often in days of Covid but I do have one on the calendar for Saturday January 15th. I'm limiting this class to four people to help keep some distance and masks will be required. The store is not open to the public during the class. Must register by...
