Hey y'all. I've got a Paterson gear motor that I'm wanting to use to motorize my grain mill, but I don't know how to wire it. There are 5 wires total, a red and yellow run from the capacitor into the motor, then there are black, blue, and white wires coming from the motor for connection. Anyone...

So I searched through the forums and couldn't find this topic or answer. Here's my scenario: I made my starter from store bought kombucha in a smaller jar and then transferred the mother to a 2 gallon plastic jar with a spigot to ease removal of the kombucha. It's BPA free (one of those Aladdin...

So I put a batch of cider together recently and now I have a few questions. It is a 5 gallon batch with dark brown sugar and molasses with an OG of 1.068. I put everything together and pitched a packet of US-05 in it on September 29th. As of October 7th (8 days later) the SG reading was 1.028 so...

Thought I would post up my project I have been working on. It's going to be a 2 tier HERMS system with keggles. This project has taught me how to weld as well, so it's already showing its benefits! Threw in a few pictures of the progress. I threw some paint on it to see how it would look and to...

OK so I'm sure there is probably already a thread on this, but my search didn't find me what I'm looking for so I decided to post. If its already posted paste me the link. I recently came into three 15 gallon kegs that I'm going to use in a sort of electric-propane hybrid HERMS system on a...

Hey y'all. I'm back in action and doing my first full 5 gallon boil in my new brew pot. Got it from bass pro for just under $100 after tax. Stainless 30 qt pot with a built in spigot. Also came with a nice long thermometer. Also had the turkey frying accessories but I won't be using those...

That's right. I've been so busy with nursing school that I haven't been able to brew as much as I really want. Darn aspirations! Lol well I'm on my garage (aka the man cave/brewery) and brewing up an Irish stout to get ready for this cold weather coming in. Next is going to be a holiday ale with...

so after searching for a while, i couldnt really find what i was looking for on this topic, so i decided to do it myself and post up pictures. i wanted to mount my co2 tank on the outside of my kegerator so my pressure gauge would read more correctly (if that is even a term). so i began by...

hey yall. i got some iodine udder wash from the local farm supply store by my house and the concentration is 1.75% iodine. the bottle says mix 0.5 oz with 2.5 gallons of water to achieve a dilution of 25 ppm. i have read that for a no rinse sanitizer solution i need 12.5 ppm, correct? so then i...

Well, the news is that my father in law works for a company that works on and installs new appliances, so when he installs new refridgerators and they dont want the "old" fridge, they haul it away for free. therefore, my father in law gets fridges for free and has found me a good garage fridge...

Hey yall. I've got a few questions. I'm making my first hefe and I have seen some differing information. First question, what is the normal primary fermentation time for a hefe? Secondly, (appreciate the irony here) should I rack from my primary to my secondary to finish off and clear? I know...
