I am selling some of my brewing equipment. I dont brew that much anymore. It takes a lot of time. I want to get into single pot BIAB with no sparge. I want to condense my time as much as possible. You can have everything for $500. There are also individual prices Kegs $35 each. $175 for all...

Here is what I have so far. I wasn't sure how much water to start off with to make sure I have 2.5 gallons going into my fermenter. I also wasnt sure if I needed to add extra grain to the bill for effiency loss. I have no intention of using a sparge. Kevin Delange talked about his SS minnow...

Hello everyone, It has been a long time since I have brewed beer. I have been condensing down my equipment and looking to shorten my brew day. I discovered BIAB and I like the idea of using one vessel. I had heard that it has a smoother malty and there is less tannin leaching. I love all of...

For those who live in MI or are lucky enough to find jolly pumpkin beers I was curious about a Bam Biere kind of clone. This recipe from NB http:/:www.northernbrewer.com/documentation/allgrain/AG-PetiteSaison.pdf Sounds great but will this be sour or come out sour ? I love the bam because...

@pricelessbrewing. What's the name of the homebrewstore in Livonia? Do they have Maris Otter ? Or a good English base malt ? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

i have been there a lot. that is still not very cheap at all. I have seen some guys on brewing clubs order a pallet and it ended up coming to .60-.72 cents a pound. Thats a savings. I emailed bells brewery. I know they do bulk, but I am awaiting on my email reply. Also a place in Ypsi does it...

I had a question about house strain yeast. I am assuming this is a yeast used by breweries that is used is most but not all of their beers like Bells Brewery in MI. They have their unique yeast and then have a couple other ones for there specialty beers? The actual question is what is a good...

Hello, My name is Andrew. I live around the Ann Arbor Area. I am originally from Genesee County. Does anyone know around either two areas how or where to purchase large bulk base malt grain? I am looking at 2 base malts to start. Maris Otter (or golden promise) and American pale malt. IF...

I understand how to use the lactose. I would dissolve it in the hot coffee. BUT as far as the coffee. How much is a typical or "standard" amount when added to a batch of beer? Do people usually brew a pot? or smaller batch and add instant coffee to concentrate it?

I made an extract oatmeal stout a while ago. The kit itself was old and I let in the keg after I brewed it for a while as well. I finally sampled it (kit sat 6 months to a year and sat in keg for 6 months) and its not great. Dumping it would be like putting my dog down. So I was wondering if...

I just picked up the thermo works THERMA K PLUS. Probe was free! With probe attached accurate to 1 degree F. In a few weeks ill post pics of my mash setup.

Reliability is as important as accuracy if not more so... I guess I never thought about that. Personally, I can be anal retentive about accuracy readings and organizational things. I like the Handheld ones because I plan on leaving just the probe submersed horizontally in my cooler and...

i just checked that lab depot. thats only accurate to within 1.9 degrees F.

Revvy: I was told for Iodophor. And no if i heard it from someone else I dont have it mixed up. It was bad information told to me, hence it being brought up in this post. I wanted clarification. and yes..... got it. not mixed up now.

you kinda get what you pay for, from my experiences... What are these other affordable options you speak of? and to have a precision tool to correctly and accurately measure your mash? I thought that was of the upmost importance because 154 and 152 is the difference between one thats drier...

one things about staining... ihave been told it needs 15 minutes contact time, not the 2 minuntes that is put on the label.

thats understandable. its not the .1 degree adjustability.... its the .7 accuracy. it may read 154 but actually closer to 153... almost a full degree. with the former, its will show .01 and it accurate to .1.

I have been using Iodaphor for a while... havent had a bad batch because of it. But, its stains.... Can be messy... Hate the smell. I wanted to see if anyone has made a switch or thoughts of Which people on here prefer.... -Andrew

Has anyone used the THermapen precision? THoughts on the .01 accuracy over .7 ?????
