I just don't have the room to keep this hobby going in my apartment. Really hate to part with this stuff, but it's time to clean out my equipment until I have more space. Here's what I've got. 3 Carboys - One glass 6.5 gal, one glass 5 gal., one better bottle 5 gal. 15 gal. SS Kettle -...

I don't usually mess with my starters too much, usually it's just a half liter starter and it goes in the fermentor. I have two beers lined up for tomorrow and friday, they use the same yeast but my LHBS only had one vial. I made a 500ml starter with 2 oz of DME yesterday, it's looking pretty...

I read a trick on there somewhere awhile back about putting a washer on each of the bolts on a corona mill. I finally got around to trying it before milling the grain for my next two brews Sucess!! I've actually got crushed husks and cracked grains instead of whole grains mixed with...

I was hoping to brew up a batch of inaugural barleywine with the intention of laying the bottles down for a year or two for future celebratory/commemorative purposes. Looking over my yeast options it occurs to me that I might be making some compromises. All that I have on hand is one...

I think I may have a bacterial infection in a kegged bitter I just brewed. It wasnt sour when I started pulling it from the tap, but I think maybe it got infected post hook up? does anyone have a way to tell exactly whats going on inside my keg or what I should do (besides leave it)

I have practically unlimited amounts of maris otter, cascade, and amarillo. I have nothing else to brew with until some specialty grains arrive in a week or so. I think i want to brew tomorrow, was thinking about toasting some maris otter for a little color and roast flavor. anyone done that...

I replaced my SS braid with a cpvc manifold, but when i drilled the hole for the new shank I kind of overdid it. Now its leaking like an sob and im not sure what to plug it up with. was wondering if hi temp glue would break down at 170 or not. some other kind of bathroom sealant? I figured that...

just kegged my first two ales and force carbed, one is flowing like a champ and the other is sputtering, hissing, and leaking from the gas in lug. all ball locks seem secure but maybe something is fouled up, anybody have an idea?

I'm going to keg two batches tonight for the first time. I've got an ESB and an Irish stout ready to go. Two montgs ago, when the stout was new in primary, it got infected and things got pretty funky. I let it relax for awhile and everything seemed fine and it actually tasted pretty good. I...

My Sanyo conversion is almost done, the shelf removed, gasket replace, hole drilled, and counter and box mostly constructed. My cO2 tank just came in today, and Im thinking its about time to keg the two ales sitting in secondaries. I plan on force carbonating the ales at the same time using...

has anybody here priced out CO2 tanks online? looking for a 5#, local welding and gas shop didnt have one.

I just bought a very gently used $80 4912 off of craigslist, this is exactly the kind of break I needed to dive into kegging! Now to go back and carry it home on the subway with my roommate...

I DO!! Tonight I'm supplementing Beckett's natural dynamite with the kind of luck you only get by roasting a stout and brown sugar glazed ham ... My cousin and I roasted a ham for game 1 (cranberry maple glazed), and look where that got us! If I had any sense, I would have roasted one...

If i hadn't just paid my tuition bill i'd be scooping this up. Seems like a pretty good deal, especially if you can get it at $125 or so... http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/for/448877717.html

bottling is getting to me and i'm starting to think more and more seriously about taking the plunge and kegging. I know everyone loves the 4912, but there so so many other brands of medium sized fridges on craigslist for less than half the price. I'm wondering how many people here have...

i'm doing an oatmeal stout mini mash from a kit today that includes 4 lbs of grain and adjuncts. I need to mash in at 153, how much water should I use and what temperature does it need to be? thanks
