Greetings all, I am working on a simple control panel for my brew stand. The plan was to have 120V power coming in to three outlets which are on simple switches all in "weather proof" conduits. Two outlets are running march pumps and one is running my RIMS tube which is a 120V 1500W tube I...

I have three three year old hop crowns (hallertau, cascade, fuggles) in tubs that I will not be able to tend due to a lack of space in my new yard. I'd be happy two trade these for a few six packs of homebrew (anything hoppy, seems apropos). I live in cranston RI and work 80 hours a week so...

I am looking for a used rims tube. Let me know if you have one to sell!

I just got a chugger pump as a christmas gift. I am hoping to set up a rims tube for my BIAB setup. I have done some searching around and Bobby's set up seams to be the cheapest. Are there any tutorials out there to help me with the wiring of the controller of the tube (I am not an electrician...

So I stumbled across this today, I can use it but its a steal!! http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&itemid=77&acctid=2695 There are hundreds of cheap items here many could be used for home brewing.

Greetings, I am wondering if anyone out there has any idea how to cork this bad boy. I have looked around the forum and found nothing. I am not really interested in buying a floor corker, but was hoping there was some sort of DIY method out there for corking a bottle this size. My ideal would...

Hey, So I am interested in purchasing a kegging system capable of keeping two corny kegs at once (kegs, disconnects, regulator, splitter, lines, faucets). If anyone has gear they are looking to sell let me know. Cheers

I started homebrewing last year, and as the amount of equipment I used grew, I found the amount of time that I spent hauling stuff up and down from my basement was rivaling the amount of time I spent brewing (not to mention the number it was doing on my back). Additionally, due to my particular...

I got two hop crowns in 30 gallon containers from a local hbt member and put them out three weeks ago. I started watering them nearly every day and added very dilute miracle grow once a week. Now we are at week four and I am concerned they are not responding to my TLC. I dug down in one of...

Hey everyone, I am starting biab and just bought and cut the voile to size. I was under the impression that my wife's sewing machine could do a zig zag pattern (which is necessary for holding the 20-30lbs of grain plus water weight). However the machine only sews in a straight line. Has anyone...

Hey DIY'ers, I just finished my DIY stirplate and it turned out well however I am worried the 6V adapter is not giving enough juice. I looked around and I have an 8v that I don't want to destroy and a 12 v I could part with. Does the whirlpool need to touch the bottom?! See what I have below:

Hey everyone! I recently bought a keggle from another member. The top had already been cut off and I added the ports for valves and thermo. Who ever cut off the top took too much and the edge is the same diameter as the outer lip. This means my lid will sit on top of the keg and steam will leak...

I have been looking and looking to find a cheap DIY option for making a grain mill that is reliable. Unfortunately I don't have access to a metal working shop. The concrete roller idea seems cost prohibitive. Any one out there have success making a grain mill with minimal tooling required...

I just started all grain brewing and I needed something to stir the grain and avoid dough balls. I could have gone to amazon and picked something up for a few bucks, but like many of you I like to use homebrewing as an excuse to bust out my tools and build something myself. I went to home...

Hey everyone, First of all thanks to this forum and its members it has been an invaluable resource. I nearly finished converting my keg last night and I wanted to post some pics! As you can see I added a three piece valve and a thermometer and sight well combo kit. On the inside my...

Just grabbed this of someone on Craigslist for $10. Should be a nice additional secondary once I clean it up.

Hey all! I am looking for ideas on a cheap DIY brew paddle. I have no metal working skills but I am handy. Any ideas floating around out there? PS is wood a problem with flavor absorbing?

Greetings all. I just started working on starting my all grain system. I have been doing partial mash to date. I just bought the 9 gallon 2 weld brew pot from homebrewing.org as well as their 220,000 BTU burner. We currently live in a rental apartment and don't have tons of space for...
