Me and several home brew buddies all have nearly matching kegerators. They have all been in service a couple years and the only thing that has been replaced was o rings on kegs. In the next few weeks we were trying to put together a group order to replace our lines and the o rings in the keg...

A few weeks back I was lucky enough to taste a Dave from hair of the dog brewing. For anyone who is not familiar with it, it is a eisadam. My understanding is that the brewer, Alan Sprints, took 300 gal of his amazing adambier and via partial freezing removed 200 gal of ice crystals leaving...

I am going to be obtaining a rather awesome quality bourbon in a few weeks. It will be freshly dumped and hard bunged. I have been racking my brain on beers that i would like to put in it. A big monster oatmeal stout comes to mind. One beer that comes to mind as exactly what i want is the...

So, i just bought a 55gal stainless barrel that is seamless and contained soda pop syrup so it will make a perfect all around brew kettle. It has a top on it so my first step is to carefully remove the top so i have a lid, the second step will be to put holes and have fittings welded onto it...

There is a field of spring wheat next to my house. The other night we were talking to the farmer and gave him a few bottles of homebrew. He said it is a really good crop and it is all going to be for food (not animal feed like some). He offered basically as much of the raw out of the combine...

I am preparing to do a bunch of brewing so i went to buy some yeast. It was $8 a vial... A quick calculation in my head told me that would be easily 200 by then time the year is over... So i was wondering how to go about raising my own. I just put together a 4 way stir plate that will get...

So, i brewed an ipa today and it seemed to come out greatl After a while i realized i forgot the irish moss... I am wanting a really clear beer so i was wondering, is there something i can put in the carboy to get it to settle out that wont give funky off tastes or take away my aroma...

I have 4 1.5" Triclover fittings with a 1/2 inch hose barb on them. I was not able to work them into my system, so i would like to trade them for something that will. They were made by swagman on this forum. What i need is 4 1.5" Triclover fittings with a 1/2 inch female end on them...

I am getting ready to bottle a tater beefy stout and was looking to put some of it in one or two of the giant bottles you can get some beers and wines in. Does anyone know where I can get a few of these? Thanks

So, i have been working on a rather large brewing project for the last few YEARS. I made a imperial stout, about 13%ABV by my latest calculation. It sat in carboys drying out for nearly a year and now it has spent the last year and a half in a 2yr old Hungarian oak barrel that had some world...

I am looking at making a stir plate. I was going to use a coffee can for the housing. I was going to mount a 120mm fan in side near the top attached to a speed controller and use an old 12volt plug in from a old toy. I am fine on the construction and electronics part but i am a little...

I am thinking about setting up an electric brewery. I have a dedicated 30amp 240v plug for my welder that I could use. Would this give me enough power? How long would I be looking at to get 15 gal to boil? Would a single 5500 or so do it, or would a pair of 3500's be better? Thanks

I am getting ready to build my brew stand. I am going off the brutus design but am tweaking it to meet my needs. I am currently brewing with keggles but hope to upgrade someday, so i am building in some room for growth. I have some 1.5x1.5x.120 steel tubing laying around so i was hoping...

I am getting ready to order my couplers for my keggles. I have 4 decommissioned miller kegs with straight sides. I was wondering what alloy of steel i should use. The difference in cost is minimal so i want to make sure i get the proper alloy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I an in the early stages of converting my brewery to triclover fittings. The first step i want to take is putting clover fittings on my kettles. Right now they are drilled for the standard weld less fitting and have a 12" opening on the top. I want to make them 1.5 inch tri clover on...
