    For Sale Chicago - 20gal HERMS Electric brewery

    I'm trying to sell it as a complete system (I think selling off just the panel would make it more challenging to sell the remaining equipment), but I'll keep you in mind if I decide to split it up. Thanks for looking.

    Perlick 525SS rebuild kits

    Hey everyone, After 3ish years, one of my 525ss faucets started to leak out of the spout. I'm pretty sure it's either the "o" ring seat (part #3) or the handle lever (#5) shown here: https://www.perlick.com/store/webcatalog2.php?catno=1&sectno=1&grpno=3 Reading reviews (especially on...

    Wheat IPA Hops Recommendation

    Amarillo.. Ever have Three Floyds Gumball Head? It's more of a pale ale, but amarillo and wheat just taste great together.

    Dealing with all that hop trub

    After years of dealing with a clogged "hopstopper" I just switched to whirlpooling. First batch and it worked great. Others who have been doing it for longer seem to have good results.

    whirlpooling on an electric setup

    Thanks for the replies guys. I've decided to make a "temporary" setup for now, with a stainless steel racking cane (that's been modified) that hangs on the side of the kettle. This way I can adjust it up or down. I do make 5 and 10 gal batches so I need to see what will work best and still...

    whirlpooling on an electric setup

    Hey guys, I want to set up my BK for whirlpooling. For those of you who brew with electric, do you put your return port above or below the heating element? My element sits about 4 or 4.5inches off the bottom of the kettle. (If it matters, I have a blichmann 20gal g1 kettle). Thanks for...

    Lost power while brewing

    Yeah, I realize my location says "chicago" but I'm actually in libertyville. Wort seemed to taste fine going into the fermenter, so I don't think the loss of power messed anything up. As far as the mashout not doing anything... yeah, I figured as much. I fly sparge though so I figured I'd...

    First time fermenting in plastic bucket

    Hey guys, Due to all the glass accidents I've seen and heard of, I've decided to abandon the glass carboys and switch to the food grade plastic buckets. Anything special I should do with them before my first use? I've cleaned them with oxyclean (30 min soak) and just want to be sure I'll...
