    What Magnets/Stir Bar do you use for your Stir Plate?

    I know this thread is old, but since this is the everything stir bar thread... I built a little DIY from a computer fan, a hard drive magnet, and a small stir bar. The only stir bar my shop carries is a half inch. When hooking the fan to 9V the bar gets thrown. I have to hook it to a 5V...

    Not Feeling This Brown Ale!

    That was what I thought, but wasn't sure.

    Not Feeling This Brown Ale!

    Wouldn't that club soda taste be carbonic acid?

    No worries! It is certainly manageable, and I understand the difficulties in dealing with different sized screens. I have been wanting to start doing some developing for Android but all the different devices can be intimidating.

    3 chamber fermentation chamber question

    It will probably be awhile until I actually get around this. They are renovating our apt, and we are being forced to move out for 30 days before we can be back in for a year. Once we move back in I will probably try to start working on this.

    Batch Sparge Question

    Quick question, that link states that you should drain the MT as quickly as your system allows after you have completed the vorlhauf. Everything I read said that it should be very slowly drained. When I did my first AG batch last week I did the slow method. I am using a SS Braid in a...

    Increasing ferm temps with aquarium heater question

    If you wanted to heat faster and more evenly you could get 2 heaters and put them on both sides of the tote. Plug them into one temp controller.

    3 chamber fermentation chamber question

    I am thinking of making it long. So starting left to right: fridge - chamber 1 - fan - chamber 2 - fan - chamber 3 attached to the fridge is the temp controller for chamber 1 temp controller 2 and 3 are attached to the 2 fans. the left chamber is the coolest, the right chamber is the...

    What beer must I try on my trip to Seattle this weekend?

    If you want a bar in the Fremont area go to Brouwer's Cafe. They have the largest selection of bottled and draft beers that I have seen in the area, as well as quite a few different whiskeys.

    Just started brewing using a turkey fryer and beers are coming out bitter

    You were able to get 5 gallons chilled in that amount of time using only an ice bath?!

    My ridiculously easy stir plate build - nearly no tools needed!

    Love this...I have several old computer fans and hard drive magnets lying around. I need to pick up a stirbar and do my next starter right!

    YAIQ - (Yet Another Infection Question)

    What if after they are carbonated I pasteurize the bottles at pasteurization temps? This should stabilize the beer, killing both the yeast and the bacteria, correct?

    What beer must I try on my trip to Seattle this weekend?

    Agreed! Brewing Network is actually holding its event at the NHC this year at Elysian Brewing!

    I am on the Droid Bionic, screen resolution of 540x960. Attached is a screenshot. Ignore the colors, my app that takes the screenshots screws with the colors. You can see my Mash Timers only have 1 item, while there are 5 Boil Timers. With no scroll bars in the Boil Timers section it can be...

    What beer must I try on my trip to Seattle this weekend?

    As far as wines go I would go check out the Woodinville area. In particular check out Airfield Estates. They have a tasting room in Woodinville, and I find their wines to be amazing! Where beer is concerned check out Big E Ales up in the Lynnwood area. They have a small restaurant and bar...

    3 chamber fermentation chamber question

    I'm trying to think of the simplest build possible...I like the design of yours though! Definitely outside what I am looking to do though. I'm thinking more of using a small dorm fridge, with a chamber just tall enough for a 6gal bucket fermenter, and wide enough to have 3 chambers. Probably...

    Just a suggestion, On the Timers page the spacing between Mash Timers and Boil Timers seems to large. I would think normally the amount of space needed for Boil Timers would be greater than that needed for Mash Timers. I usually only have 1 Mas Timer, and 3 to 6 Boil Timers. I have to scroll...
