selling my two Morebeer Racking/Sampling ports. Paid $75 each/ asking $60. Located in Massachusetts They are a great upgrade to your chronical and offer better sanitation over threaded options. It makes gravity samples a snap as well. Thanks for considering

I have two of the 7 Gallon Chronicals (no temp control or digital thermometer-wasn’t included when I bought mine) Paid $399 asking $325. Great condition and well cared for. I also have two butterfly valves ($40/each) and the Morebeer racking/sampling port ($60/each) available as upgrades...

The Yakima Valley 2016 crop is starting to flow. Does anyone know when the European crop will start to reach us? I want to start a bunch of German Lagers and want fresh hops. Thanks!

Attached is my Trillium Artaic Clone. For those that have had the honor of tasting it, you will "Get it". As a tip. Make sure you don't cut the onion too small or it WILL clog your dip tube. Trillium Artaic Clone Double IPA (22 A) Type: All Grain Batch Size: 10.00 gal Boil Size: 14.02...

Seeking advice from the technically inclined. I am building a decoction vessel and want an electric stirrer to prevent scorching. What specs should I look for: AC vs DC RPM Torque Etc. I will mount it in the lid and my goal is to find the cheapest option that will adequately keep grain and...

Let me know if there are holes in this thinking.... I have a Kal clone herms system with heater elements. I am thinking of getting a 3500W induction top for my Mash tun. My process would be to conduct a normal mash. Get up to the lower Sacch rest in the 140s with the herms, Then drain most...

I have a decision to make. I have 6 kegs with different fruited lambics and I bought several cases of nice 500ml champagne bottles that accept bottle caps. I wanted to lay down a case of each one for posterity, but that would mean calculating and priming each bottle. I would like to hit 4...

Hey All, I have a lead on a 20 year old True GDM-12 on Craigslist that they say works well. It looks to be in good shape, just missing the lower grill plate. I plan to use it a a a ferm chamber for a conical and have been looking a long time. They are asking $200 and I have a guy...

I have 30 gallons of blended lambic that is 30 months old. It tastes great and has a nice complexity and sourness. 5 days ago I added fruit to CO2 purged carboys and the pushed the lambic on top again topping with CO2. Smelled amazing, esp the mango/passion fruit blend. I checked again...

I have 50 gallons of lambic that just hit 2 to 2.5 years old. There are 6 different types (different bugs and blends) and after having a tasting get together, they are all great in their own ways. I am going to blend them and then put on fruit. I have room for 6 fruits as I have 6 glass...

Sorry this isn't a "sampling" thread but I know this is the right group to ask. My wife will be in Amsterdam for work and we have a friend there that can get anything local for her to bring home for me. I think customs is a 4 bottle limit......what should I ask for? Thank you in advance for...

I am the proud new owner of two 7 gallon Chronical stainless conicals. I upgraded them to butterfly valves and am excited to have the ability to dump trub, harvest yeast and pull samples. I am always looking for ways to get two different beers from a single brew day and I have IPAs for...

I would like to sell my 3 STC 1000 controllers that I bought a while back for a project that never took off. I bought them on ebay for $20/each from China and they took like a month to arrive. They are the 110v model and you can build a duel outlet box to control heating and cooling for a...

Advice please.. I have six (5 gallon) carboys with various bugs and they are now over 24 months old. I have patiently left them undisturbed, which is easy with two young kids and a basement. My plan is to transfer all to corny kegs to minimize O2 exposure and then sample and...

This is part of the BBA/EBY Brett experiment. One of these things is not like the other.... I've seen mold before, but this is something more.... What do you think? I bottled it so we will see. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

It's got a pound from one of the big sellers and they came labelled 6.3 AA. My last crop was 3.8AA. Anybody else have the same and does this seem correct? I know they vary, but this seems out of range. Thanks.

All the calculators use slurry and can adj thickness. I had a 6 week old slurry (about 1 liter) of Augustiner lager strain from a local brewery. I wanted to grow it up as it sat in the lager fridge at 35F for so long. I made 2x 2L starters, one stir plated a little, but sediment stopped...

How important is it to get the freshest hops? With the barrier packaging, is it a big deal to buy 2012 Citra now instead of the new harvest? How about hops like EKG and Hallertauer? Looking to stock up and just wondering peoples opinions. Thanks

So, bit of background. Reason I am in this situation I the batch has a few new variables. First time using my new 60L Spiedel tank, and I am using a bottle cultured Schneider Weiss yeast grown up to a 1L starter, but admittedly a bit rushed. So the ferment is 12 gallons of Weizen, all...

Planning on making a Dunkelweisse and regular weizen in the same batch. I want to brew 12 gallons of weizen and put wort into my new Spiedel fermentor. I will then hold over spiese to naturally carb in the kegs after fermentation. My idea is to do a cold steep with a little chocolate...
