Make me feel better with your success stories please. We apparently have a break in ours. I still have to get it scoped to see exactly what and where the problem is but it's likely a huge tree in the back causing the problem. I'm almost certainly going to have to replace a section myself. At...

I just bought this Great Lakes collagen hydrolysate for use as a supplement. It appears to be very similar to gelatin but apparently they have some differences. The hydrolysate is processed further than regular gelatin which breaks down the proteins more and allows it to dissolve in cold...

I loved the old Beer Hunter series with Michael Jackson and saw this DVD available some time ago and forgot about it until now. Has anyone here seen it? If so, do you recommend it? I wish the old show was available somewhere. Edit: It looks like a lot or maybe all of the old show is on...

I just threw this recipe together based on what I have for a pale ale and am looking for advice in general but specifically with regards to how much bittering and flavor/aroma I'll get with the whirlpool addition. I usually add hops at the beginning, 10, 5, and then some for a whirlpool/hop...

I got this going from the dregs of 2 bottles of their IPA. It was pitched into a pint of wort and then dumped into 2 qts after a few days. This is now at about 5 days total. It's definitely a top cropper! I plan on doing a pale ale first and then an IPA with it. Does anybody have any...

OK, so what happens if you goof up and add too much slaked lime and find the ph way too high (5.64) and then over correct (5.34) with phosphoric acid 25 minutes in and then let it ride? Making an English Mild and accidentally entered 4lbs of chocolate instead of 4oz into the calculator. This...

I came up with this recipe recently and have really been enjoying it. It's a straw color, light bodied beer with a spicy nose and pretty spicy flavor and a dry finish. Very refreshing summer beer. I thought I'd share it in case anyone wants to try it. This is for 11 gallons: 10lbs 2 row 5lbs...

I had some good take out pho and shrimp spring rolls tonight for the first time in probably a year. I love the contrast of the beefy broth, fresh herbs, and chili sauce. Has anyone here made it and have any tips to share? All other Vietnamese cuisine ideas welcome as well.

So I was looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CMEN95U/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 A little expensive but the reviews seem very positive. What do you think, should I go for it?

I've been wanting to add a float switch to my HLT since in the past I've accidentally dry fired my element. I've seen mention of people using one of these...

I found this on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RU-SCREW-PLUG-IMMERSION-HEATER-Heating-Element-Rod-TSP01527-3500-4500W-240-208V-/400337589562?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d35fad53a The details are sketchy but it looks like they're actually made by Tempco who makes a lot of industrial stuff...

Just curious. It seems everyone is out of stock of the F type camlock fitting.

I'm drinking a Woodchuck Amber apple cider right now and like it, but I've only tried a handful of ciders as I mostly drink beer. I picked up some local apple cider so that I can make a hard cider and I'm trying to soak in as much info as I can so I can decide what to shoot for in my first...

Hey everyone, I currently have a three vessel electric HERMS with two pumps. I have a keg HLT with 50' of 1/2" copper tubing hard mounted with valves for my HERMS. Currently, I have a cheap CF chiller that only has 1/4" copper tubing and doesn't chill very well. I also have a hopstopper that I...

So, I acquired a 15 gallon corny keg that I intend to use as a fermenter and I have a few items that I'd like to use to cool it for ale ferments. I have a diaphragm pump and a keezer in close proximity. I also have a Love controller. Here's a couple of thoughts. I have 47' of a thin walled...

Funny story here Love the last line.

Hey everyone, Just hashing out a simple pale ale recipe based on what I have on hand for the weekend. I'm wondering if the Magnum plays well with Willamette. Also, I'm shooting for a balanced Pale Ale that's not too bitter and is easy drinking. I have some Cascade and Perle too, but the pale...

I had major rust problems on the face and threads of my kettle elements and was wondering if something like this would work to seal them? I bought a cheapo magnesium fire starter that I'd have to remove the flint/glue part on and cut in half to split for the kettles and was just exploring the...

Ever since I bought a 1/2 inch drill from HF I get those coupon emails and I just bought a 4 1/2" angle grinder for $18.45 including shipping. Crazy. I don't expect it to last long but I'm hoping it'll last through two keg polishings. Totally worth it if that's the case.

I found a stainless table that I think I'm going to buy locally. It's for my two keggle, one cooler single tier set- up. Is two feet an ok height? It's seems like it's about right. Most prep tables are 35" which is too tall for me. I'm thinking that it'll be short enough to look into the...
