    Attempted a cream ale/lager and had an odd result, opinions?

    Background: 10 gal three vessel e-system, batch sparge from coolers Fermentation is completed in my basement and temp in the cool room can be as low as 55F in the winter months. I've seen some suggestions that a plastic fermenter on the concrete slab can maintain temps for lager yeast...

    Basement Electric Brewery

    Great job on the build, it looks fantastic. And yes to this. I get a fair amount of condensation in the hood, but I wipe it down with a few paper towels during the boil and I get by. Also, while you're wiping down the underside of your hood, don't be tempted to check the suction of your...

    Transitioning from Beer to Wine: Equipment?

    Really, the only additional needed item is a wine whisk. The wine whisk is pretty inexpensive, fits into a carboy and attaches to a cordless drill. It degasses wine in 30 seconds. I made the investment in the floor corker and it's really helpful, but not absolutely necessary. I did buy a...

    Transitioning from Beer to Wine: Equipment?

    It's not just your experience ... Now, there's a bucket next to the wine racks and she has to "buy" the wine. When there's $100 in the bucket, we buy another kit.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    11 gallons of a dry Irish Red. Mmmm. It'll be snowing like a bastard, but I'll be warm and dry brewing in the basement.

    It's official starting my own brewing business!

    I was describing the evolution of a homebrewer to a friend of a friend that was interested in the hobby: I love beer! I'm going to make it myself! Well, all-grain is the best way to make beer, you really have control over your ingredients. Also, here's my stir-plate. I'm starting a...

    How long does your brew day take?

    For a 10 gallon net AG batch, I budget 6 hours like Homercidal. It typically takes me 45 minutes to get set-up and 20 gallons of water up to strike temps with the e-Kettle. I'm milling grain while waiting for water to heat up. Also, I'll run some star san through the CFC while mashing if I...

    Kegerator or Keezer

    After pricing out the parts I wanted to use for my keezer, I dithered between buying a commercial kegorator (I looked at Trues, Summit, Bev Air, etc. as well the lower end ones) and building my own. I eliminated the lower end models because I would replace some of the equipment immediately...

    MalFet's bottle washer for lazy homebrewers

    If it were something I'd buy, I'd want one that can handle anything from a 12 oz bottles to 750ml wine bottles or a mix. That would be a design challenge, I think. Have to think on it.

    Getting a mill for Christmas

    I have this exact same set-up with the base and hopper. The hopper is bomb-proof. Really heavy gauge steel. I plug it in and grind up ~20lbs in about 5 minutes. I dust it off, put a cover on it, and that's it as far as maintenance. As an added bonus, with my own mill and gap settings...
