I am moving soon and have decided to sell my homemade 3 tap keezer. It has served me well for over 10 years but I replaced the freezer portion within the past year so it is basically brand new. Holds 3 cornys and a 5lb CO2 tank (I keep mine outside to save space). Local pickup only (zip code...

$45 shipped (contiguous US)

I picked up a free Mangrove Jack cider kit at NHC this year and was wondering if it would be suitible to use as a base for a pseudo-ice cider? My plan would be to add just enough water to the concentrated apple portion of the kit to get a starting gravity of 1.130 (is that even possible with...

I'm selling my 2 roller Crank and Stein adjustable grain mill after almost 10 years of quality service. It is either the 2S or 2D model, I can't remember which and I think they may have changed the design since I bought it, and includes the $50 7lb hopper setup. This has been a great mill for...

Selling my 7.5 gal Anvil Stainless Bucket fermenter as I am not brewing as often and am focusing on pressure fermenting when I do brew. Great fermenter that has produced plenty of quality beers for me. I am also throwing in a Blichmann quick connector I use to transfer right to the keg. $75...

I am brewing an IPA for a club competition that requires 5% Crystal 10 and 5% Amber malt (the rest is 2-row) as part of the grainbill. I haven't used Amber malt before but have heard that it can be overpowering, even in small quantities, and is not something I would normally use in an IPA. My...

I am in the market for a Spike CF5 conical fermenter so I figured I'd see if anyone has a used one they are looking to part with before I drop the coin on a brand new rig. Let me know if you have one and let's see if we can work out a deal!

I was always under the impression that the WL production date was always 4 months prior to the "best by" date on the packaging. I picked up a pure pitch of wlp001 the other day and the "best by" date is 5/15/20...am I missing something here?

I don't brew many meads (only 2 prior to this batch) but I won 20 lbs of orange blossom honey at a homebrew competition recently and used it to whip up a simple mead this past Sunday (9/29). Original gravity was 1.110 and I aerated the must with pure O2 for 90 seconds before pitching 2 packets...

Hi all, I know that a lot of emphasis is placed on dialing in an ideal PH range (usually 5.2-5.4) in the mash but I have been having a hard time finding consensus information on ideal pre-boil and post-boil PH ranges. Some information I found indicates you want a lower pre-boil PH (around 5.2)...

This was my first American Lager and it turned out great. Very crisp with a nice sweet corn aroma and flavor. This beer also recently won Best of Show out of 650+ entries at the 2018 'War of the Worts' competition and was chosen to be brewed at Iron Hill brewery to be served on tap at their...

So I had a free afternoon unexpectedly and decided to whip up a melomel on the fly. I grabbed 6# of frozen cherries and 3# frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blue, black and raspberries) and added them in primary to a 4 gallon batch with 12# of wildflower honey. I am a beer guy and didn't do...

Anyone used this yet? It is part of the White Labs Vault series and geared toward NEIPAs. I put my order in today (only 42 to go!) but know this is the 2nd release because the first sold out so quickly. https://www.whitelabs.com/yeast-vault

I recently won a 55# sack of malt from a local malt house at a competition. The sack was hand labeled as their 'pale' so I assumed it was ordinary 2 row. I brewed a standard IPA using this malt as the base but the beer ended up super cloudy (didn't use wheat or any other haze inducing...

I am brewing my first Altbier and was hoping for some yeast recommendations. I am thinking of either going with WY1007 (German ale), WLP029 (German ale/Kolsch) or WLP036 (Dusseldorf Alt). Anyone have experience with any of these or another good Alt yeast you could recommend? Thanks

What is the point of theses spam floods??? Nobody can understand what they say and there isn't even a link to click so I don't see what benefit they are getting out of this, other than to be annoying (which they are!!!) HBT needs to figure out a way to control this because it is getting...

I am planning on brewing a 1.096 OG Doppelbock soon and was hoping for some advice on how to best achieve my target pitch rate (apprx 800 billion cells). I have a stir plate and a 2000ml and 5000ml flask. Am I better off pitching 1 vial into a smaller starter and stepping up (several...

I am selling my 25' Stainless Immersion Chiller as I recently upgraded to accommodate 10 gallon batches and don't need this one anymore. I originally bought it from midwest 5 years ago and it works great for chilling 5 gal batches. I can post pictures later if anyone is interested but it is in...
