    For Starters. Flatulence, Flasks and Fermcap

    Great write-up, I've been utilizing this method for a couple years now. The only dangerous thing is grabbing the top of the flask after you're done boiling (it's hot btw). I have seen some "knock-off" flasks, so make sure you're using a lab grade one and you're good to go.

    Tweaking my IPA

    Try using some hop extract (CO2 Extract) for your next batch. I used hop extract in a Pliny Clone I brewed in the spring and it turned out amazing. I went with the 100g cans from http://www.yakimavalleyhops.com/category_s/1851.htm and bought some bulk syringes. Also, I've been doing a 45 min...

    Raspberry Pints (Raspberry Pi) Users, What are you using as a display?

    I read that on the RPints website under "choosing a display". Somewhere in there it talks about setting it up to run off USB from the pi but looks like it can't do both through USB only. So I was hoping to find either a display that I can power with USB, which also has HDMI, or a display with...

    Mitch's Electric Brewery Build

    Great job on the build. I just ran through my inbox and saw one of your old messages that led me to this. You definitely don't need my crayola brutus wiring diagram anymore.

    Raspberry Pints (Raspberry Pi) Users, What are you using as a display?

    I just decided to tinker with a raspberry pi and started ordering what I need for a raspberry pints draft list. What make/model/size monitor are you using and how many drafts are you displaying? I'm looking to display 3 - 5 drafts. I also have a single outlet available behind my kegerator...

    10 Jet Cast Iron Burners BRUTUS TEN build

    I suspected you had the NG ones installed. I initially had the same issue... Glad you got it working.

    10 Jet Cast Iron Burners BRUTUS TEN build

    On my first set of burners I drilled and tapped a hole to fit a small brass plug, in which i painstakingly drilled tiny holes in to use as the pilot. As far as the fitting on the bottom, I'd have to look at that again, but i used the inverse flair fitting for the gas line hose that I used. I...

    10 Jet Cast Iron Burners BRUTUS TEN build

    I just measured and they're between 2.5" and just under 3" for my boil burner because there's no asco on that one. Which burners do you have? I only get an orange flame if I have the valve turned too low. Have you looked at my earlier posts? I had to switch my original burners out. Also what...

    10 Jet Cast Iron Burners BRUTUS TEN build

    I'll have to measure them and get back to you, but if I were to guess they're close to around 3". If you're looking from the front, the tips of the burners are below the bottom of my top support, if that makes sense. I had the soot issue with my original burners, eventhough they said they were...

    Show us your brew rig! [NJ Edition]

    Post pictures of your set-up. I've seen some cool rigs/sculptures/stands and just weird set-ups from brewers that i've met it the past. I'd like to see what you're using in NJ. Here's Mine: It's a clone of Lonnie Mac's Brutus 10. Currently located in Freehold, NJ.

    New Jersey Home Brew Clubs?

    So, I stopped in yesterday showing interest in picking the club back up. One guy was slightly interested, but they seemed very stand-offish. As in not wanting someone outside their clique running their club. The whole atmosphere in that place is just weird. I'll check it out one more time and...

    Best online retailers for NJ area?

    I'm lucky enough to have family that brews in Milwaukee, WI and had the chance to visit the Northern Brewer there. So I've been somewhat spoiled. Here's some pictures from their self-service grain room.

    Best online retailers for NJ area?

    Yeah, but i've recently been using them more often. They're really friendly and they'll get whatever you need, as long as you call ahead or stop in, they can order it for you. Their prices are good, I just picked up a 50lb sack of 2-row from them and 5lbs of rye. I'll call ahead now, but...

    Oktobeerfest - Saturday October 19th 1-6pm - Ocean County Fairgrounds

    I keep hearing an ad for this on the radio and they mention a homebrew competition. The website has no additional information. Anyone have any more info? www.oktobeerfestnj.com just redirects you to the 105.7 page...

    New Jersey Home Brew Clubs?

    It's tempting... I've never been involved in a club, so I have absolutely no idea how to run one. Would sharing recipes/techniques, trading eachother's beers, collective brewing adventures and maybe the occasional field trips to local beer events, sum up club activities? I do have the time...

    Help with tweaking my Rye IPA recipe

    I'm just about to start a Rye PA using Amarillo, so IMO: Amarillo if you want to stick with a single hop. I posted my recipe yesterday: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/founders-reds-rye-pale-ale-clone-437641/

    Founder's Red's Rye Pale Ale Clone

    A few days ago I decided I wanted to try cloning Founder's Red's Rye Pale Ale and started looking up recipes. I couldn't find an exact recipe and probably spent a lot more time in multiple sources trying to figure this one out than any other recipe I've tried to clone. I noticed a lot of the...
