I had one RO pre-filter crack on me under my sink and that was the last straw, I'm done with tanks and anything that isn't constant flow that you have to store... for my house. Lol, seriously though I am done with the constant nuisance of leaks under my sink, so I ripped out the old RO unit...

Ok, short pre-story... chest freezer/fermentation chamber compressor died and my garage door also broke. I couldn't get it out the house door, so I decided to buy a 120vac window air conditioning unit and use that to cool the old freezer. Just got to test it out last night and today, and I must...

First, let me say is good to be back and have the time to write again. I missed it, but I have more time for the hobby and/so have more time to share. I love projects, and I have been racking my brain for years watching and wondering about e-brewing. Now almost everywhere I look, it seems to me...

:insert: OK, I am starting this thread in the hopes it will get a lot of responses and additional threads and information about the subject. Who knows, maybe the subject will get its own place on the main board with specific threads dedicated to the different genus and species. I know fruits can...

Hey guys, just wanted to let my trusted HBTer's give me some pointers on my first magazine contribution ever. I really hope I don't have much to change, but welcome all criticism to help me get this out there to the masses. Please let me know what you think and any specific changes you would...

Hey guys and Gals. I need your help looking over these recipes. I have finished the first 50 recipes for Beersmith users and would love some input about ingredient choices and what-not. All the recipes are by the book on measurement of ingredients (grains/hops/yeast amounts/water amounts/and...

I have been thinking about several things lately after reading posts on the forum. I, like most of you, read something that may not even be remotely what I am thinking about and then BAM... idea! Since we have such a wonderful vehicle of running ideas back and forth here on HBT, I thought I...

Ok, so I cleaned out a pig and eventually got the beer in it (in foamed a bit so I filled in stages), plopped in my pouch the right direction and sealed that bad boy up. Now, I was at a problem I have faced before. How do I activate the pouch? In the past I have let the beer warm up, causing...

Ok guys, pretty straight forward from the picture. Just in the thinking stage before I go buy the parts to put this thing together and try it out. I am not looking forward to cleaning my spunding valve any more! I got the idea to dose or dry hop while remembering the Randall. Please, comment...

Well, I had a brother-in-law for 22 days! I was married to his sister on the 9th. He got to feeling bad on Monday and went to the local hospital. He was yellow and they did a CATscan. They found a mass close to his liver and were so worried they rushed him to the city for more care and scans...

Ok guys, I know I have some whacked out ideas sometimes, but.... I was dreaming of beer, like I do every night, and had a Belgian inspired dream and idea. I did a little checking before I decided to post and couldn't find anything on what I am about to discuss. If anyone know of any more...

Ok guys, I ran into this after looking for a simple aquarium filter to make for work. Got me thinking how easy it would be if it really would work. I am wondering if he is running the beer into the bottom and fluidizing the sand like a biofilter, or if he is running the beer through the top to...

I wondered so I started looking. I can't find anything about a cyclonic filter being used in a brewery. It makes sense based on the pool-style versions, but would it work this well for hops and trub out of the boil? What are you guys thoughts on this? Seems it would be easy enough to build...

OK, Okies... we finally have a good front to join to help the cause we all know is a blemish on the great state of Oklahoma. Recently, a group was started to promote law reforms in the state. Join the OFALR group on facebook or go to their website and join. Tell all your beer drinking...

That's right kids, time for another "what if" post by the WortMonger. Some of you will be like WTF???, why can't this guy just do "this." Well, I have to talk things out to understand them better and to completely shut out old ideas that are starting to pile up in my brain, so please understand...

Well, I finally got up off my butt and built an aquaponic growing system this year for veggies. I have wanted to do this forever, and finally had a stable enough place to complete my endless thoughts. I saw on Modern Marvels, Space Farm Enterprises, growing hydroponic hops and thought I would...

Anyone else think Hope looks just like Paul Revere, lol?

Well, I have been trying to get my brewery over to a steam injection mode for some time now. I bought a large pressure canner for other purposes and planned on using it for steam injection in my mash tun for correcting temperatures and step mashing when I want to. This morning I am looking at...

LOL, well do you? Come on and admit it if you do wear a kilt. I am proud of my Scot heritage and love the comfort the kilt provides me. I was just curious as to if anyone else wears them on occasion. I know Kilted Brewer does, and I think hagen said he did. Just a curious brewer who wonders.

Ok guys, this is the first time I have brought my personal life into the forum. I need some advice though. I am flipping a house that had some nasty people renting it prior to my purchasing it. I got all the carpet and filth out so the roaches would go away, and they did. I had no fleas a...
