I am looking at getting a new burner and like the looks of the Anvil, if anyone has thoughts/experience with it that would be great. Was also considering the Blichmann or Edelmetal, but would like to try and keep the price down a little. Thanks for your help.

A group of us are planning a big brew day to fill a 53 gallon bourbon barrel and I was looking for some suggestions for a relatively simple scotch ale recipe. I also wanted to know if it needs to be a big beer(>9%) or could it be modest(6-8%)? Also, how long would you recommend leaving it in...

I'm looking at brewing a pilsner this weekend and wanted to know what additions to make to RO water, have done a google search and found nothing definitive. Am currently reading through the Water book, but takes me a while to process that type of info. Thanks

My pump went out and would like to know if there is a replacement pump available. Have found some online but am not sure if the threaded opening will take the threaded PVC pipe. Thanks for your help.

Wanted to know how people are attaching them to their kettles without drilling a hole. Would like to have some way to secure it without putting a hole in my pot. Thanks

had a bad few days, first I broke my autosiphon a couple of days ago trying to get the tubing off. Then today a blonde I was brewing to enter a competition turned into an APA after a hop addition snafu and to finish it off I forgot to turn off the power to my element after cleaning the pot and...

Wanted to know if this valve would work? Wanting to start trying some pressure fermentation in a corny soon. Thanks Greg

My LHBS is having their grain sale and I picked up a bag of 2 row and some crystal 40. What I wanted to know is what else should I be looking at if I like IPA's, APA's, cream ales, ambers/reds and saison's? Also will make the occasional stout or porter but have plenty of roasted barley and...

Built a 2.5-4 gallon system based off of johnoden's build, just with a smaller element. Here are some of the finished pics, the square plug is for the power in and the round is to the pot. The last picture is a trial run with water and working on the autotune.

I have started a build for an E-BIAB system base on this one and have a couple wiring questions. Looking at the switch diagram, could I go from one X1 post to another and run the neutral wire from the last switch back to the incoming wire(kind of like a jumper from one X1 post to another)...

Wanted to know if this would be ok to use from the dryer plug to the spa panel and for the element cord? http://www.menards.com/main/electrical/electrical-cords/extension-cords/10-3-25-sjeoow-cord/p-1462690-c-6410.htm Thanks

I am looking at putting together a system based on the johnodon build and had some questions about some parts and adding an alarm to the wiring diagram. First question is what type of plug receptacles do I use to build the wire from the element to the control box? Second is would it be...

I am planning a build for a 2.5 gallon system with a PID controller similar to jrb03's, but I would also like to be able to make the occasional 5 gallon batch in a separate pot. Am able to do basic wiring and would be looking for any recommendations on what would be needed to do this. It would...

I have some Munich Malt type I and would like to use this in a SMaSH brew but am uncertain which hops to use, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Greg

For the first time in 10 all-grain brews, I managed to hit the pre-boil gravity and OG spot on. Also had all the volumes, feels good to finally get it right.:ban: Normally all of my numbers end up a little high, which is no big deal just a little stronger drink.

Had a friend give me some uncrushed specialty grains and a 55lb bag of munich malt type I, they were stored in rubbermaid totes and the specialty grains were in ziplock bags inside the tote. My question is how do I know if they are still good to use other than brewing with them? They still...

Made this with the thermaltake fan seen in other posts and some spare wood I had laying around. Still need to paint it and maybe put something on the top that has a little more grip.

I am looking for some wheat beers, preferably unfiltered, that may be available in the midwest. I have not had a lot of experience with this type, blue moon and shock top, and was not impressed with those. Looking to expand my knowledge and tastes for them, thanks in advance for the help.:mug...

Just wanted to know how good the stuff is from Northern Brewer? Was looking around and found some stuff from Grainger called nu-calgon gas leak detector blue, wanted to find out what others think. Thanks
