If you could invent anything to make your brew day easier, what would you invent? I would invent a device to remind me to set my PID from 211 degrees to 70% after the boil gets rolling. I have no idea why I always forget that.

So, a few months back I got my first pH meter. Imagine my surprise when I learned during my first all-grain brew with it that my mash pH was about 6.4. Well, since then I did some reading and starting playing with my malt bill to try to add some acid. No luck. On my last batch I added a...

So, I am in process on my first batch with my new grain mill... I have never milled my own grains before. Suffice it is say the mash was a little sticky. But went okay once I slowed everything way down. The great (or bad depending on ones point of view) was that I really missed my...

This time of year my basement gives me about a 64.6 degree temp taken in my thermowell on a 10 gallon batch. I have considered heating things up to closer to 70... Will the benefits be worth the effort? Right now I have an ipa with while labs CA Ale and I also am doing a Xmas ale and porter...

I have a 60 amp GFI in my breaker box feeding my control panel. However, I only have three conductors in my cord running from my GFI breaker to my control panel... do I need a fourth conductor? It is currently wired with both hots and the neutral on the GFI feeding the control panel - there...

I am starting to plan for a large batch of GLCA that i would like to get brewed in the next few months so that it can have plenty of time to age before Thanksgiving. My goals is to brew early August, Primary through August, Secondary through September and then bulk age half in kegs till...

I have finally started my new brew stand build. Up to this point have have been using 10 gallon pots on a electric range with a heat stick to ad some power. Going forward I still want to be able to brew in my basement so I am working on an e-brewing rig. Yesterday I took about an hour to...

I think I want to drill my keg for the ball valve at four inches up from the very bottom of the keg (or, four inches up from the ground when it is sitting on the floor). For those who have already done this, is a hole up four inches on center the correct hight to work with Wayne's dip tube...

I was able to score 11 1/2 barrel kegs (10 SS and 1 black plastic). They just arrived and I now have some cleaning to do. I plan on keeping three for a new brew rig and two for fermentation tanks. Anyone have thoughts on how I might use the other 6? Let the spending begin on my new...

Does anyone know the size and maybe a McMaster Carr number for the o-rings that go on the sanke spear.. I am asking about the ones that seal the spear to the keg. Thanks

Is anyone using a PID to control their HLT? I am not interested in building a RIMS or herms at this time because I do not have a brew stand, I brew in my kitchenette in the basement. I am thinking of making a PID controller to control a heat stick that I use in my HLT and BK. I know this...

I found these 1.25 gallon Slimline Water Containers at Wally-World (~$4.50 each) and I am thinking about using 5 of them to ferment small one-gallon beers with different dry-hops. My goal is to learn more about how different dry-hops impact flavor/profile so that I can refine an IPA. My...
