Maybe a dumb question but.....anybody bottled beer in a used glass kombucha bottle like this? Kombucha is carbonated but usually not as high as beer but since it's a live product figured they'd have to be designed to hold greater pressure if it were to keep fermenting. I'll probably just do...

Saw this pop up on an amazon email and I hadn't seen it before sorry if this has been discussed but could this be used with a small pump in a recirculated BIAB setup with a 1650W element. It looks ok as far as power but would it switch on and off constantly and burn out the relays real quick...

Was wondering if Krausen height would be the same in a shallow 6.5 gallon fermenter as it would say in a 6.5 gallon bucket. Would I need more volume in a shallow fermenter or would an inch or two of space above the wort be sufficient.

Ok planning a simple SMaSH pale ale with Maris or 2-row and Azacca hops wanted to try a shortened boil @45min maybe less and all late hopping like this: Problem is according to Brewer's Friend I get this: (see the IBU's part) On normal 60min bittered batches these are usually pretty close...

Probably a stupid question but is this ok as far as ventilation around the fridge Got the fridge for free with the house but the only other place to put it is in an un-airconditioned garage or sunroom which in southwest Texas means well over 100deg. I've done this but the fridge struggles...

Alright first 5 gallon keg of cider is about to kick. It was just Walmart juice with a few Granny Smith and red delicious apples chopped and thrown in (don't think this did much). Not bad but nothing special. I live in south west Texas so no access to true cider apples or sweet cider juice...

Moving from propane to electric and was wondering if I do not use a false bottom how long I would need to wait before dropping the bag in after killing power to prevent scorching the bag. Element(s) are 1500w 120v HWD. I live in southwest Texas so not too concerned with reheating during...

I know the STC 1000 cannot control most water heater elements BUT could it control a 240v 3500W element running on 120v? From the little electrical knowledge I have a 240v element running on 120v will divide the wattage by 4 so 3500w/4 = 875W. And then divide that by 120 to get the amps so...

I've been looking for a new fermentation option and found exactly what I need here: Problem is they come from China and I can't find much info. If the specifications on this chart are mm's then I think the 300*300*300 would equal to 7 gallons Anyone ever seen anything like this available...

I'm pulling out of the main thread to document my experiment with the ultimate goal of a: Double Russian Imperial Oaked Rice Wine Stout. I've made a few batches of the rice wine and it's ok but a little too sweet for me. Just started a new type of batch: -12 cups water with 1/4 lb roasted...

I have a 20amp breaker powering powering 5 outlets in my garage and I want to put a 2000w element in my kettle. I understand a 20amp breaker will run 2000w but possibly only if it is a dedicated outlet? I can make sure nothing else is plugged in the other outlets with the exception of my garage...

Saw these at Family Dollar when I was looking for a stopper for my laundry tub/brewery sink. They say they are stainless Figured if I drilled holes in the edges and use stainless screws they'd make good hop balls for the boil or suspended by fishing line in the primary for dry hopping. Here...

Okay I'm making an open topped fermenter for more authentic English ales. I cannot be talked out if it as many shiver with dread of infection. I'll be copying the design of an article I read in BYO a while back basically just a wooden box lined with tile and sealed with food safe silicone...
