Getting out of brewing for now due to lack of time and space. I am selling everything I have for brewing minus my keezer and CO2 tank (kegs are for sale though). At this moment, I am not looking to sell individual pieces. Everything for one price. I am in Chippewa Falls, WI. Buyer must...

Does anyone know of a recipe for Boulder's "Shake?" I had this beer last week and holy mother of crap was it good. I tried a search on here and google with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :mug:

Note: this is not for brewing related purposes. I just need to pick the brains of the masters on here... I want to use two STC-1000s to control two different heaters, but using one socket and one power cord. The heaters are 8W/110V each. I only need to utilize the heating function of the...

I'm planning a homebrewing get-together with my brewing buddies at a public park and am wondering if anyone has any experience putting something like this together and could provide some insight. The plan is to get between 5-10 rigs together. I rented a pavilion so we'll have some shelter...

This might have been addressed before, but I was unable to find an answer. I am brewing an IIPA and am using mosaic hops. These are not listed in Beersmith. How would I go about adding them, and what info do I use to add them? Thanks for any help! :mug:

My wife got a new breast pump for our expecting child, so she doesn't need the old used one we bought. It works, as far as I know, and she wanted to just throw it out. It has a nice AC adapter so I was going to keep that but after thinking about it I thought maybe there was something I could use...

I'm visiting the Northern Brewer storefront in Minnesota on Thursday during a shopping trip. I brew all-grain and partial-mash and have everything I need to brew beer, so I'm having a hard time coming up with something to look at or pick up while I'm at the store. I know that people are...

This year in politics has driven a lot of people mad, I swear. More so than ever people are taking/making things personal and ruining/straining relationships over opinions and it's just rediculous. I live in Wisconsin so between the whole governer stuff going on and the presidential elections a...

Thought I'd share some pics of my brewday from a couple weeks ago. I did an altbier and hit about 86% efficiency with my set-up! Hopefully it'll taste pretty good in a few months. Getting everything set up: Hooking up the water filter: Filling and heating the hot water tank...

My current setup is a three-tier system. I want to use a turkey fryer burner on the top tier for my HLT. The hose on this burner isn't long enough to reach all the way to the ground where I would like to set my propane tank. Currently, I would have to set the propane tank on a stool so the hose...

Hey HBT! I've been MIA from brewing for almost a year, but now... I'm friggen back. Reason for the departure? A breakup with a two-timing *****.. BUT I think I came out on top :ban: And since then? Been drinking with my buddies Acquired a new brew rig (haven't used it yet)...

Check out all this stuff I aquired: The kegerator (currently with one tap), the stand, MLT, HLT, keggle, kegs: Three carboys, looks like two sixes and a five: Grain crusher: Smaller kettles (I don't need these): Keggle with fittings, thermometer, and chiller...

Came back, approximately ten hours after pitching, to see this in the carboy: This was a partial mash/boil. I don't think I mixed it well enough, as it was my first five gallon batch in this carboy and the thing is heavy. Can I still mix it up without fear of ruining the batch, or...

Fess up.. who's visiting Chippewa Falls?

Walking through Walmart I noticed they had Cheese Balls (lol..balls.) on sale for 5 bucks a jug. Not really caring for Cheese Balls, per say, I did notice the containers were made of HDPE.. which is, obviously, food safe. Now, if I were to try and ferment in these bad-boys after polishing...

I did an imperial stout on my birthday. My thinking is to leave it in primary until July 12th, bottle, then leave in bottles until January 12th, 2012 (my birthday). I've never done an Imperial Stout before, and because it was MY birthday brew, I made up a recipe going off of personal...

I took two of my brew, an apfelwein, and a couple samples of the venison jerky I made to make gift baskets for my friends! Merry Christmas! :mug:

So I had this idea as I was falling asleep yesterday: I have two 7.5 kettles, one outdoor propane burner, and a soon-to-be-converted-to-a-mashtun orange cooler. I do not however own a house, or own a brew stand. I decided to use my insanely impressive MS Paint skills to sketch up what I...
