I'm getting out of the game and you can benefit. Local pickup is in Eureka, CA. I am willing to ship, but buyer pays all associated shipping costs. Here is what I have left: Keggle w/ welded thermo, stainless ball valve, stainless false bottom, and weldless sightglass from Bobby M asking...

I went to open BS to enter some recipe info, and when I opened the program a screen popped up telling me that my copy of Beersmith was not activated. I entered my activation key and the program opened like it was opening for the first time. No recipes, no data, nothing from the previous year...

Getting ready to do a Belgian dubbel with WLP530. I want to pitch around 64 and let temps free rise over the course of a few days during primary fermentation. I am using an STC1000 with a refrigerator for my ferm chamber. The fridge is outside. My question is, what's the best way to let...

Let me start by saying that I like a bitter beer. I am a big fan of hoppy IPAs and IIPAs. I have been learning a lot this year about late addition hops and whirlpooling/hopstanding to get that big hop flavor and aroma in my pales and IPAs. I have taken to doing hopstands by chilling to 180...

I had a package of Brux on the top shelf of my fridge and it froze. Is it still useable?

I just uncorked one of these I picked up this weekend. I must say that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Now the concept of a Belgian stout is starting to get to me. Does anyone have any other examples of this non-style that they could recommend? I'm ready to do some "research" for...

When setting up my controller for the first time I noticed that it has cut-in and cut-out modes apparently used differently for heating and cooling options. It also looks like a jumper wire is required to switch between modes. My question is, if I am going to use a heater in my ferm chamber as...

Wildfires in my immediate area have us smoked in and it doesn't look like it's letting up any time soon. I was wondering if anyone out there has a recommendation for an indoor HEPA filter to improve our air quality and mitigate some of the effects of the smoke. I don't have any experience with...

Okay, somebody one up me. I haven't seen it before. Not that I've seen em all by any means. But somebody let me know if it's already taken, cuz if not I'm calling that sh*t. HOPTICAL ILLUSION. I know, you wish you'd thought of it first, right? Just kidding. But seriously, I just thought...

I will be flying to IN in a couple of weeks to visit some family. I can't wait to try some of the brews I've been hearing about but can't easily get on the west coast. I'm looking for a store in the Indianapolis area that has the best selection of craft beers from the east coast and Midwest...

Made a batch of Cal Common two weeks ago. Pitched yeast starter built up twice, and fermented two weeks at 58-60 degrees. Krausen fell after only a few days and what appeared to be vigorous fermentation. When I racked into my keg yesterday, I took a reading and it was at 1.020. Does this...

I read somewhere on HBT that the gas and liquid poppits on corny kegs are different somehow and that you shouldn't get them mixed up. I'm wondering how do you tell them apart, and what happens if you get them reversed?

I have some WhiteLabs California Common yeast that I found buried in my fridge. It was expired in 2011. About four or five days ago I made a starter with 1/2 cup DME and a pint of water. It's in a warm dark spot and didn't do anything noticeable for the first three days or so. Then just...

I just got a 70qt Coleman Xtreme cooler(marine version) and I'm getting ready to make my mash tun. When I removed the drain assembly I realized the hole is about an inch in diameter. A 1/2" nipple is real sloppy in there. Do you think an oring will seal my weldless bulkead or will I need to...

Wanted to introduce and say thanks for all the inspiration information I've gotten here at HBT. I'm stepping up to 10 gal batches and just upgraded my vessels. I'll be using a gravity fed system with a keggle HLT, 70qt Coleman Xtreme MT, and 15gal BK. I'm sure I'll have some questions because...
