    No-chill brewing & cold break

    I'm currently in chiller limbo at the moment and not really satisfied with any of my options. My old immersion chiller was easy to clean and sanitize but was inefficient due to its size and over half of it being up and out of the wort. I traded that for a plate chiller but I am noticing a...

    50' x 1/2" copper immersion chiller

    http://www.nybrewsupply.com/wort-chillers/copper-wort-chiller-garden-hose-fittings-12-x-50.html This has been used for probably 4-5 batches but is in great shape. I had another thread where I posted this as a trade, but I am looking to see if anyone wants to buy it outright too. In great...

    Immersion Chiller for Plate Chiller

    Alright, I have this chiller: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004D4MTZI/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 and would like to trade for a comparable duda diesel or similar plate chiller that has low miles on it. Mine is 50' long, made out of 1/2" copper, with garden hose fittings. It's great, but...

    2 x 3 Gallon Ported Better Bottles w/ Valves & Adapters

    Would like to sell my two 3 gallon ported Better Bottles, fully assembled with racking adapters and simple-flo valves. I used these when I did smaller batches for a very short while - one has only had one batch through it, the other has had 2. They are 100% clean and free of scratches, and...

    Regulator won't zero out

    This isn't a huge deal but rather just something I noticed lately. At some point, my regulator gauge started to read about 3-5psi when the connection at the tank was turned all the way off and the system was fully bled of pressure. I think that this probably started a few months ago when I...

    Largest single-dose keg hop?

    For those of you that have dry hopped in the keg, what is the largest single dose you have used & then left in for the duration of your keg? Not interested in: 1. dry hops in primary 2. dry hops in secondary before kegging 3. any doses that get removed What's the biggest dose you've...

    Surly Abrasive

    I've been on a double IPA kick recently, first Hopslam, then Pliny, then over the weekend I noticed Double Trouble was back in my neck of the woods. Had a chance to try Surly Abrasive last night and it had a rougher quality to it than the other three (maybe that's just its name resonating in my...

    Belgian Bastogne Ale Yeast (WLP510)

    Has anyone made anything weird with this yeast? By weird I mean - something besides dubbel, tripel, strong golden ale, that kinda thing? If so, what was it and how did it turn out? :mug:

    My worst brew day

    What the f*ck just happened...? I can't believe I actually thought I could do two batches back to back after working 10 hrs. I barely survived the first. In 20 or so AG batches I've never had absolutely nothing come out of the valve when I was trying to sparge. Unreal. I dumped the entire...

    Tannins & pH in Batch Sparging?

    I spent the winter doing smaller BIAB brews, but am getting ready to break out the cooler MLT and do some 5 gallon all grain brews again. This has me thinking about tweaks and improvements to my process, and one thing that I've been considering is no sparge. This article in particular had...

    Percentage of honey to use in an IIPA

    Inspired by drinking a few Hopslams this weekend, and by the 44oz jar of local honey I have in the cupboard - I'm looking for some advice on imperial IPA. What is the ceiling on adding simple sugars & stuff like honey to a grain bill in an IIPA? I BIAB, and I don't think I will be able to...

    Clogged Better Bottle aka Am I an idiot?

    This is my first experience with a ported Better Bottle and I think I did something really dumb. I've had a pale ale in there for a week now and wanted to pull a little sample from the BB valve. So, I pull the valve open and a tiny trickle of sludge comes out and then nothing. I know this is...

    Brett noob w/ questions

    I'm resolving to make 2012 a year where I make brett beers. Having never done one, naturally I have a couple of questions. Buying a fresh Wyeast or White Labs culture makes the price of entry a little bit higher than just buying saach strains - in the case of Wyeast it's like $10 a pack vs...

    First stab at a Dunkelweizen... look ok?

    Thought I would run this by more experienced dunkel brewers before I brewed, as I'm going to be putting forth the effort to bottle-condition instead of keg, so I do wanna make sure I'm not doing anything crazy. 48.5% wheat malt 24.2% dark wheat malt 24.2% munich 3% chocolate wheat...

    2 ball lock soda kegs
