So, some people lose their keys, wallet, maybe a few bucks at the track. I lose Cider. So, last night I came across an overlooked carboy of Cider I did in the Fall of 2012. I got the top off of it and there was nothing visually wrong with it. Took a sample and got the FG as well as...

A few years ago I was going to do the whole "CO2 tank outside of the keezer with the distributor in the keezer" project. Things changed but I still have the cable. I think keg connection charged me close to $80 for it. It's yours for $50 shipped or best offer.

I have four shanks that were "rescued" from a keezer due to be pitched. Didn't have a proper wrench for the job so the collars are a little scratched up. Believe they are Stainless Steel. Unsightly? A bit.... Functional? 100%!!! Will sell all 4 for $50 shipped or best offer.

So, my "relationship" with the four 525SS' I have on my keezer has been if-fy as of late. About six months ago I foolishly went and performed what I would have thought was typical maintenance (cleaning and replacing rings) and have since been treated to a nightmare. Sometimes they seal...

So I'm planning on converting a less-than-effective humidor into a dual stir-plate setup. I'd like for both fans to have their own on/off switch as well as speed control. I'm decent at wiring, mainly the result of home projects where things got replaced and from years of hot-rodding guitars...

So, this past ten days I lined up three different beers to brew all using the same strain of yeast. What I did was make a starter using the yeast and while I was brewing put another starter together and leave a little in the bottom when pitching to put the rest into a new starter. I've got...

So, I've got a chest freezer in the garage which I use for fermenting lager in the warmer months. With the coming months I'm installing a heater in there (Johnson A419). It's not a big freezer (7.2 cu) but certainly not small. Damned if I can figure out how to fit more than one fermenter in...

So, I've had Galena planted in my backyard for what is now the third season. The first year I planted and was convinced the rhizomes had died. Second year I was surprised to get some growth from them so I didn't trim just to let it get its bearings in the soil. This year I didn't get a...

So, I've been digging pretty deep as of late into the "why's" of all grain brewing. I spent some time reading about different specialty malts and how they're created using different drying and heating techniques. But one thing I haven't been able to get a definite answer on is Base Malts...

So, I've been using a Magic Chef 7.2 cu chest freezer coverted to a keezer. It will hold 4 kegs and had the CO2 tank and 4-span regulators on the hump. In order to get it to fit I would need to have the CO2 tank and regulators at an angle and hanging off of one of the kegs. It was less than...

Good morning... Can anyone tell me the height from ground to where the kettle sits on the Blichmann Floor Burner with the leg extensions? Trying to spec out a new setup and I can't find that info anywhere. Thanks!

So, I'm in a situation where I can't really build a brew sculpture and previously I have been using a card table with a recycling bin on top of it to get high enough to drain my 10 gallon Igloo cooler mash tun into the kettle (with the burner raised up on cinderblocks so it can drain into the...

I have four Perlick 525SS faucets in new condition with Krome shanks (4.5" x 3/16" bore) as well as tap handles. Items have never been out of packaging. $48 for each. Buy all 4 and I will cover shipping.

So I did a bit of a SMaSH recipe with Beersmith with the intention of it being a IPA. I fermented for a month, let it carb for three weeks and took the first sample last night. It doesn't really taste all that hoppy. I was looking for a good old sinus buster of an IPA and this just tastes...

About two years ago there was an "incident" at my house with a leaking roof and my bottling bucket had some wet drywall and plaster tossed into it. A few weeks later it was emptied out and it has sat unused in my basement since. I have to do some bottling in a week or so and I'm wondering...

I'm one half of a company that attends a local trade show every year in January. About five years ago I showed up with a few bottles to give away to friends in the industry as a "thank you" for their various efforts over the years. Over time this has snowballed. Last year I showed up with...

So a few minutes ago I was sitting around typing when I heard a loud bang from downstairs. Thinking the worst (a newly installed hanging liquor cabinet) I ran down to see what happened. After a few minutes I found a keg had tipped over. It looked odd so I gave it a once over before I...

I realize this is kind of a general newbie question, but I did bring pics. This is a lager I brewed about a month ago. The fermentation temps were a little on the low side; started on November 18th at 1.052 and when I checked about ten days ago it was only at 1.030. So I brought it inside...

I know most of this comes down to personal tastes, but I'm kind of at a loss after running the search function and reading a bunch of threads on it. I did a five gallon batch of cider with Nottingham yeast about two weeks ago. I'm seeing that it has mostly cleared. I plan on using tabs to...

So I had one of those grand revelations yesterday where I remembered what yeast I had used for a beer that was going into secondary and how it was the same kind called for a beer I was brewing that day. I figured I would give it a shot so I racked onto the cake in the fermenter whose contents...
