I'm new to the HERMS process but have been brewing now for about 5 years. I'm planning of doing 5ish gallon batches, I have a 15.5 gal converted keg for my MLT and an 11g pot for my BK. I picked up a 30 quart pot as a HLT and to house my HEX coil of 20 ft (copper 1/2"). I'm curious if this is...

Moved into West Springfield from Springfield about two months ago and was wondering if any locals that use the same water source have had their water tested to see what the mineral content is. The city report only does contaminants. Or possibly gain some info on how your brews are going with...

Just wanted other to be aware of this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001H4JXLU/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 And there's an open source software for it http://mocoworks.bistrobrew.com/ Looks like you could control and watch numerous fermentations.

So I've been looking to make or get a cheap temp controller for my fridge. I saw the thread on the Hunter home thermostat build and decided to try it myself :) I got the Filtrete (by 3M, cheapest dual mode un-programmable, digital thermostat) at HD on sale for $13, the 24a/240v SSR was about $5...

This a from a ESB I just transferred into my secondary. I have to admit I didn't get all of the yeast/trub from the primary. However, as the picture shows it settled to the bottom in true 1968 high flocculation fashion :) I actually siphoned much of the trub with a turkey baster (sanitized of...

So I figured I'd start working on getting data on all hops. I've started with the US based off of the www.usahops.org website. I'm still kind of working on it... so if you see an issue with something let me know...
