I have taken quite a big step back from brewing over the years and with kids running around, just don't have the time for it anymore. With that I'm looking to sell my 4 keg setup. Below is the craigslist link for the system and the information about it. I am in the KC area, but I will be able...

Wondering for anyone who can answer, can a Kenmore 8.8 cuft fit four ball locks on the floor and a carboy for cold crashing on the hump? Thanks to anyone who can answer.

Alright, I'm getting ready to start setting up my E-HERMS system. Currently I am using propane so slowly buying everything for the electric system. I currently have a 50amp breaker running to my garage for the brewing. I have a question on PID's for the system. I know I will need to use...

Getting ready to redo my keezer into a kegerator and while doing this I will have to take the kegs off the CO2 to mount all the hardware up into the new Kegerator. Possibly at longest maybe a week to get everything done. Wondering if this mess the current beer up if I were to take it off the...

Need some help with an idea that has been running around in my head for a while. With too many tools in the garage my space is running out for my keezer and my fermentation chamber to be seperate. I have been kicking around the idea of building a Fermentation/Kegerator/and a refridgerator...

Looking to do a BarleyWine.... Let me know what you think and recommendations to better it. Going to do it Extract, because the day I am going to brew I will be short on time so can't do a 5 hr all grain day. American BarleyWine 8oz Carapils 8oz Caramel 40 8oz Caramel 120 All Steeped 30...

So I goofed (maybe subcontiously not), but I scheduled a lagering Oktoberfest, and an Amber Ale to be finished right about the same time. When I started thinking about it, I decided, I don't really want to have one full day of washing, cleaning, sanitizing and filling about 100+ bottles, so I...

I just finished up my second BIAB AG today, an Amber Ale, hopefully to be similar to Fat Tire. I am having a little bit of trouble getting my efficiancy up. I am currently getting about 65%, I know this is not horrible, but I would like to be up in the 70's. I'm pretty sure how I messed up...

Well, this weekend I made the jump to the dark side (which like everyone has said, really isn't that big scary monster that everyone thinks it is). Looking back at the proceedure I do believe I made a few mistakes, one big one, but for my first batch, I wasn't too upset. Since I have all the...

Posted this in the equipment section but didn't get much lookers and didn't get any response, so I'm asking here in a different way to see if anyone has experience with this. I have a 1.7 cf mini fridge that I am looking to make into a fermentation chamber. Problem is I need it to get to...

Alright, worried a little.... I am getting ready to brew my first AG, an Oktoberfest, and I have ran into a little problem. I have a fridge in the garage and I have a temp controller for the fridge, so the fermentation is no problem. My problem arises because we are experiencing...

So in my getting everything ready to go to all grain I have been reading and asking many questions. I have read through a lot of post about BIAB and Sparge techniques. My problem is I lack the mash tun cooler setup. I know it doens't cost that much to build one and I'm thinking of doing it...

I've been brewing a few months and caught the itch to go all grain eventually. I AM a DYIer so I love to build my own tools. I have searched about doing Mash Tun vs BIAB. I currently have been doing extract kits from NB and Midwest, liked how they came out, but want that extra kick, you know...

Brew a Kolsch (Midwest Supplies Cologne Kolsch Kit), and fermentated with the White labs 029 two weeks ago today. I have read many post that list that you should secondary Kolsch in a fridge for a few weeks to clear it out. Of course I have read most post that say bottle it. Kind of an ask...

I looked all over the boards but all I could find is people asking about certain beers and stalling of the yeast. I have a question after reading a lot of post and wondering, what would be the downside of pitching more yeast at the start of fermentation. For instance, Mr. Malty says that...

Got a question about bottling a lager after primary ferm and secondary. I have an Oktoberfest Lager that I plan on doing. This will be the first try with a lager. Let me know your thoughts: Midwest Oktoberfest Kit Wyeast 2633 yeast Have a fridge set up for 50 degrees fermentation for 6...

I have searched a bit, but can't find a good answer that I am looking for, if someone has a link please post. I am looking to ferment about 65 to 70 degrees to start a Kolsch. Looking to put it into a water bath in the basement closet in an old fish tank. If I am looking to get about 65 in...

As all beginners post first, I am a beginning brewer. I brewed an Irish Red Ale two weeks ago. To let you know the recipe I steeped the grains for 30 minutes at 155, brought to boil, added 8lbs of malt from the kit, brought back to boil, boiled hops for 60 minutes, second hops for 10...

Alright. I was brewing my first batch today, Irish Red Ale. I used my PBW as my cleaner and soaked everything for a couple hours. After that drained the water and mixed a new batch with my sanitizer. While cleaning out the foam all the time I continued to dump the spoon back into the...

I'm new to this whole experience so go easy on me.... Has anyone used a kit from Midwest Supplies? I have a local store that does the same thing, but at about twice the price. I have only brewed my first batch, the one from the local store, and next weekend I am transfering it to bottles...
