Bought this a couple years ago, then promptly had a child. Never used it.

$150 + shipping. Located in Denver,Colorado. Will deliver locally free of charge. Moving to electric all-in-one system, so no longer need. Also has stainless lid. Used for about a year and a half. Still works like new. Recently replaced all gaskets and fittings.

Trying to make a dip tube out of what I have. Anyone know if I can use the Blichmann Quick Connection inside the brew kettle? Pretty sure it’s stainless, just can’t find anything on the temperature dance of the rubber part. Any thoughts?

Help. Inherited a brew kettle, but it leaked. Upon inspection it seems a badly drilled hole is the culprit. Valve is 3/4 inch. I’m wondering if I can fix this by increasing the hole size to 1 inch and buying a larger valve. Any thoughts?

I dry hopped an IPA with pellets and despite cold crashing for 3 days at 34 F and letting natural rise carbonate for 3 weeks, I still have lots of hop matter floating around when I pour a pint. I'm wanting to bottle for a competition on the next 72 hours. I was thinking of putting some cheese...

I recently brewed a Saison using 3711. After reading all the reviews, it seemed like an excellent yeast for what I wanted. I pitched at 1.068 and three days later it's at 1.038. BeerSmith estimated a FG of 1.009, and its only been three days. However, I'm curious as to if I'm, for lack of a...

Been searching everywhere with no luck. Maybe someone here can help. I built keezer/bar combo. Keezer lid is topped with 1/2 inch maple. I'm a little worried that the factory screws won't be enough to hold the weight of the new lid. Anyone have experience reinforcing the lid hinge?

I've been reading a lot lately about fermentation temps, and see a lot of people shooting for the lower end of the recommended range, especially for yeast neutral beers. It got me thinking. I know that fermentation can be a few degrees higher than the temp of the area that it's taking place in...

Okay everyone, Need a little help here. I consistently have one of two problems: 1.) I hit my OG, but my water volume is significantly low (like at least a gallon short). 2.) My water volume is dead on, but my OG is too low. Latest example is a Russian Imperial Stout. Hit my...

Hello All, I'm working on a Brown Ale, my first of this style. I was torn between the Northern English variety w/ its classic toffee notes and the American version, with it's slightly more aggressive hops. Looking for some critiques on my recipe. Hoping to brew this weekend. 7 lbs, 8 oz Pale...

So I have been experiencing some issues since switching to BeerSmith. My water volumes always seem to generate more wort than expected. Additionally, my FGs have all been too high. I am brewing all grain, however I do not have one large brew kettle. I use (2) four-gallon kettles, so I...

So today I'm starting my first all grain brew. Going with a Coconut Porter. I only have a 4 gallon boil kettle though. Here's my thought. The local HBS store guy told me that for a 5 gallon batch all grain, I would need at least an 8 gal boil kettle. (8-5)/5=1.6 so the boil kettle needs to be...

So just opened my first bottle of my first ever brew. I did a porter w/ cold coffee extract and vanilla infusion during secondary. Opened this a couple days early just to see what was in store. Carbonation was just right. No sediment. Did notice one thing though. A lot of microbrews I taste...

I've been told that I can only ferment in plastic buckets for up to 10 days? Anh thoughts?

Can you do the secondary in a bucket, or is it essential to use a glass carboy?
