After reading through many options for fermentation control I decided that converting a side by side fridge was probably the best way to go. For the past year I have been using an A/C unit with a Johnson control attached to an insulated chamber...not very efficient and running constantly in the...

Hey Everyone. I've been eyeing up all of your brewstand ideas for months now. I had some friends of mine who are welding experts put this together for me and took it on it's maiden voyage the other day. Check it out: The next step is to get a better false bottom so I can do a direct...

Hey everyone, I'm about to enter my first beer competition now that I'm producing some quality brews. I do a lot of clone brews from CYBI and other magazines but I think I would feel guilty entering those beers b/c they're not my recipes. I would feel like a total ass if I won best of show...

Jamil Z says that to finish a Saison extra dry (as the style demands) you will probably need to add a finishing yeast. Something along the lines of WLP001 or a champagne yeast. But the fermentation temps of Saisons slowly ramps up from 68-85 over the course of a week or so. My question is...

Hey all. I think I finally finished getting my system up to a respectable level. It cost some serious dough but it should pay off with some serious beer. Anyway, please tell me what you think about my system and let me know how I can improve! Equipment: *All converted keg system *Mash...

Hey all...I decided I wanted to stop making piss poor beers. After a lot of research, equipment upgrades, and staring at the dancing banana for 30 minutes (:ban:) I realized that fermentation temp was a huge factor. So I decided to build a fermentation chamber based off of some designs on...

Super pumped for this tomorrow, anyone going? :rockin: (I'll be at the Sunday session)

So for some reason or another (being a noob) I thought that the OG reading was taken before the boil. Now I realize through some research that I was completely wrong and should have been taking the readings after the boil, whether in the carboy before pitching yeast or in the brewpot and...

So I have this boil screen that I bought from Northern brewer...problem is when I attach it to my Weldless fitting in a converted keg it leaves about 1 gallon of liquid still in the bottom. So I bought some copper piping and tried to run 2 L bends to get the screen closer to the bottom but now...

Does anyone live in NYC that has a grain mill I can use for a few minutes? I'd definitely throw in some homebrew when it's done! Let me know, thanks! Steve [email protected]

Hey everyone I really need some help with using my new false bottom for a keggle. I tested it today with water and it didn't seem to get a good suction when I opened the valve. As soon as the level of water gets below the valve or bulkhead fitting it doesn't drain at all. Can anyone help...

Hey everyone, new to the site and brewing in general. Not sure why it took me so long to decide that I should stop buying and start making a beverage that I drink more than water. Thanks for all the info on this site that I used to research for all of my supplies and brewing knowledge. So I...
