Room temp. My options for chilled storage aren't all that great right now.

Yeah I literally just saw this after posting. It gives me some stuff to try at the very least. Thanks!

I brewed a batch of Pliny the Younger last month, and its been kegged for about two weeks now, sitting at 25psi. Now, I've talked with a couple of local home brew shops, who both agree that the idea I had would work (one of them even said he uses a similar setup for the same purpose)...

Okay great. I doubt they're in western mass, but I'll check out Table and Vine and see what they have. Thanks!

Got a friend of mine looking to try mead for the first time, and is seeking advice on a relatively inexpensive mead that is readily available, represents the style, and is highly suggested. We live in the New England area, if location is a factor as well. :ban:

While I don't have it with me right now, it is most definitely a hot plate, capable of 450°C. Also, no, that's just a power indicator light.

Great idea. Thanks.

Hopefully this is the correct forum for this question (apologies if not), but I've just been told that I can take a broken hot plate home to try and fix it for brewing, since it would be tossed in the dumpster otherwise. The maintenance guy here where I work seems to think the thermostat switch...

To put it simply, I'm looking to upgrade my burner, as well as to acquire a chiller and pump. I'll explain specifically below: Burner: Right now, I have a 35k burner that I use, installed on a custom framework, that used to work perfectly with 2-3 gallon batches. However, I've migrated...

Brewed it Sunday, will post stats tomorrow, and flavor thoughts around Christmas week. The Head Brewer at Westbrook Brewery is willing to test the batch too, to tell me how close it came to the original.

I second this. Bottled juice is often times simply sugar water, and not necessarily real juice. Definitely use pure mango juice which you make yourself.

Absolutely. I've done exchanges before. Will let you know when it's done.

Definitely. The local shop owner at DIY Brewing in Ludlow MA is heavily into stouts, or so he says. I've left it to him to formulate a recipe, and I'm fairly certain it'll work out great. Will definitely update, perhaps with photos of the process as well as the final result.

So I recently posted a thread regarding my search for a Mexican Cake clone recipe, and was fruitless. Seems as though nobody has a decently close one. So I emailed the brewery itself, and much to my surprise, got a response. The result of that conversation is pasted below. Obviously they...

Yeah, I'm going to start a new thread shortly

I actually now have info directly from Westbrook Brewing on guidance for a clone recipe. I may post it in a new thread, but my weekend has been decided - I'm brewing a Mexican Cake clone!

Yeah, 240v is certainly more expensive, given the extra power usage as well as the modifications to my house. I'll take the 120v advice into consideration however, as that grants mobility to me. I did discover some info that a local brew guy offered me. Supposedly, we need constant...

As the title suggests, I'm seeking out a Mexican Cake clone. As it stands, I've searched Google as well as this forum, only to have come up with just about nothing. The search result for the forum included numerous threads with titles not referring to Mexican Cake, so I'd have to skim through...

Parts to switch to a 240v outlet wouldn't be an issue. My issue lies in the fact that I'm certainly no electrician (my friend is one though), and that it would be nice to go mobile. However, that last part is strictly out of convenience. To get to the important stuff, how quickly would two...
