I created this thread in the equipment/sanitation thread, but someone recommended this section so I thought I'd post it here too: Hey all, I' have a single tier stand (Brutus 10-esque), and been brewing for about a year on it successfully. Problem is I do not have it automated right now; I...

Hey all, I' have a single tier stand (Brutus 10-esque), and been brewing for about a year on it successfully. Problem is I do not have it automated right now; I do all the temp control manually. The system works just fine like this, but as long as I have the stand I might as well have it...

Hey all I have a couple questions regarding strike water and mashing volumes. I think I'm on the right path here, but missed my OG yesterday and am hoping the wise-folks here can help me out. So here's the deal, I'm using a sanke keg with a PICO style false bottom for my MLT -...

All - I brewed a Christmas ale a few months ago. Well I got the brilliant idea to add some Oak chips I had to the secondary to give it that oak barrel aged flavor. Well the chips sat in the secondary, and the secondary sat in a back closet in my basement for the past couple months...

Hey all, I'm hoping someone give me some pointers with my cider. I made a batch about 3 weeks ago following I recipe, I believe I found on these boards. Can't seem to track it down however... It was 5 gallons of pasteurized cider, 2 or 3 different types. I added about 20oz of honey, a...

I'm new to AG brewing and thought I'd ask you all which you prefer. From what I've read in books I got the impression fly sparging is the better (aka more advanced) technique, but from looking around here get the impression batch is just as good. In the few batches I have done, I've fly...

Hey all - - I'm on the lookout for an affordable grain mill. Does anyone have any suggestions? Through some googling I've seen some adjustable dual roller mills for about $125 or so... Is that pretty much the standard price for a good mill, or am I missing one? Additionally, I've read...
