A rep will be there. We aren’t expecting much from the open house as it usually just attracts random activity… being in this price bracket I should have known will eliminate 90% of buyers, I think it’s just going to be waiting for that one. We are staging the basement kitchen as such, so it may...

I’m planning to consign all the big bulky furniture and start over after moving. So yes, everything is negotiable. Normally furniture doesn’t stay. Refrigerators sometimes stay. For the right price you can keep my clothes, too.

Removed all the equipment, ready for an open house on Saturday… so if you’re in the area… come on by 👍

Thank you. I lived in Texas for a long time and I know exactly what you are talking about… insane!

Yea you guys are right really. It’s too distracting to any potential buyers. I can’t really do anything about the taps, but I can pull the control panel and kettles. It makes for a very odd kitchen, but could work as a kitchenette with I don’t know… a dog washing station? Maybe an armadillo...

Yea the only thing that can’t change without work is the built in kegerator… but it’s easily repurposed with half an imagination. It seems when people look at houses they get distracted by things that they can easily change or don’t matter, like the seller’s furniture…

Lol I mean… if the barrels and kegs seal the deal… everyone has a price. I don’t know that I’m going to go all-in again like this one, things changed and what was supposed to be my forever home turned into my not forever home…

I put my house on the market last Thursday, and apparently no one can get past the fact that I built a home brewery in the basement. So instead of trying to find “normal” people to buy a house that happens to have a home brewery… anyone want to buy a home brewery that happens to have a house...

And those repairs are done by highly qualified coopers... if you can’t name the parts of a barrel off the top of your head, it’s likely you won’t be able to put it back together again. Peter would tell you to not waste your time on a moldy or tainted barrel. And that any barrel that is not...

Yea I would try it like that, take the hood off and see how the fan itself just performs. I would suspect that you're getting a lot of condensate on the hood just because it's a big cold surface right under the steam. You would need a ton of airflow and fresh air coming from the other side to...

You may be overthinking this whole thing. I have a normal bathroom style vent face that is mounted on the wall above the boil kettle... it's hooked up to a 460 CFM exhaust fan. I crack a window and turn the fan on and have zero condensation, dripping or anything. Having a bunch of surfaces at...

I would not do that for a lot of reasons. One, the inside of the barrel is charred and holds the wine character - if you sanded it down to fresh oak you might as well just toss some oak chips in your fermenter and be done. Secondly, taking a barrel apart is a recipe for disaster - getting it put...

I’ve found a few bulk sacks on Amazon that you can get closer to the $1/lb range. Always good to use camelcamelcamel to track pricing.

You'll probably have a fun time trying to get it to seal up again... get a walmart kiddy pool for the barrel to sit in on its end, fill with water and start rotating it end to end every day or so until it will hold water :)

Not entirely sure what your calculations are doing there but if you want a much easier way to calculate a grain bill try brewersfriend.com.

I’ve been sitting in the shadows watching this develop... didn’t want to get in the way :D I like a lot of the points that have been made... that there’s something special achieved by using the right strain for the right beer... I have a Munich Helles lagering right now that I pulled a sample...

In contemplating life's defining moments, I've come to a crossroad about lagers. In this age where we have so many choices of yeast, what the hell is the point of using a traditional lager yeast? Beside the pure challenge of doing something that is generally considered more difficult - why ever...

Getting in right at the buzzer... 65 gallons Black Metal clone for wine barrel... 5 gallons Simcoe porter from the last runoff... 20 gallons Berliner Weisse 20 gallons house Flanders red barrel top up 15 gallons NEIPA 15 gallons Munich Helles 8588 + 140 = 8728!

These heater wraps work great, you can just tape it to the outside of the fermentor and plug it in, or plug it in to a rheostat type controller like they make for reptile heaters. https://www.morebeer.com/products/fermwrap-heater.html at your temp you can probably just plug it straight in and...

You could try some yeast rinsing (not washing) to at least get a good idea of how much is likely viable yeast. When you put the slurry in the sanitized water and shake it, you will see three distinct layers, or at least two - one that settles quickly (dead yeast and trub) and another that is a...
