Located in central Illinois. I am testing the waters here. 4 months ago, I was set to buy the 15G Heavy Duty Kettle w/Ball Valve from MoreBeer.com. The very next day the 26G went on sale for $10 less for their deal of the day. So I went with that :) While is is GREAT having a 26G kettle...

So I have used my conical two times now and am pleased with the outcome. However, both times, I have drained my yeast and trub and the airlock, expectedly, takes on negative pressure and even sucks in some oxygen. My experiences in homebrewing and understanding of simple elements says that CO2...

Is there a real big difference in flow speed? With 10g batches, am i likely to notice the increased speed of the 815? Thanks, Wes

I am ready to drop $200 on my march pump and silicone tube. I have two questions that i would appreciate some feedback on. Given that i would like to save my back over thanksgiving while i brew a 10g or two, i would like to have the equipment here soon and online ordering is my only option for...

Hi, I am in the process of getting my new march pump setup and integrated into my system, but i think i have outgrown my old ss 5g kettle from extract days. It has served well as a hlt so far, but as i do more and more 10g batches, i am obviously lacking a larger vessel. While i dropped...

I have read the yeast cleaning sticky and watched the yeast harvesting video and both are GREAT for long term yeast storage. I cannot wait to try this with my other primary in fermentation. My question is this... Can I rack my primary into a keg, then simply dump my next batch of cooled...

I am lucky enough to live in an area where my well water comes out 55-60 almost year round. That being said, my new Counterflow chiller gets my wort down to 60-64 degrees. Is that too cool for my yeast to get working? Do I need to run my CFC through a prechiller in warm water first or is 62...

Hi everyone. I spent a couple hours reading last night and I found a lot of information regarding force carbonating. What seemed to evade me was a good explanation of other methods. What I want to know is: given that I want 8-10psi of CO2 in my stout or ale and it is in the kegerator at...

Hi all, I have been brewing for many years now (6) and have just decided to expand my setup to something easier and more efficient (I say that in jest, as I want to save time only to spend time moving to AG). With a 1.5 and 4.5 year old, I do have limited time, but I find I have a little more...
