I've been working on building my, from what I can tell, unique design of a brew stand. It a vertical stand for my HLT/MLT with my chiller and pump mounted on the side. The banjo burner will be controlled by a PID and the pumps with illuminated switches, mounted in a modified .50 cal ammo can. I...

Hey all, I've been working on building a new brew stand and have settled upon a vertical stand for my HLT with my MLT on top. My counterflow chiller is mounted on the side with my pump, with a control panel and PID for the pumps and to control the temp of the HLT. I will eventually be making...

Was just hoping for some input on where the LHBS places are at for the East TX area. Kind of a list of places and info on the quality/quantity of goods for future reference. Thanks folks. Cheers.

Anyone going to Estacada, OR for the Slurp & Burp comp today? Or anybody have anything entered?

Hello, I will be moving to the East Texas area in the next month or so and I am trying to locate any home brewers in the area. Being such a remote area I was wanting to get together with some folks to go in on group ingredient buys. Also just looking for fellow piney woods brewers! Cheers.

I am looking to put a rotating racking arm in a couple sanke fermenters and I am trying to get an idea of how to assemble them. I contacted Blichmann to see if I could just buy the whole setup and they told me the don't sell DIY parts. So next best thing. Does anyone have a picture, or...

I have come up with a Honey Orange Braggot and looking to experiment with a French or Belgian Saison yeast. Was also thinking of the possibility of blending the French Saison with wyeast's sweet mead yeast. Also while looking around I had the thought of using a sake yeast. I dunno. Would have to...

I have been using Safale US-05 for 3 brews and this 3rd one I added Wyeast Yeast Nutrient to the boil per the instructions. I am now a ferm (hehe) believer in nutrient, specificially Wyeast's nutrient. My krausen is HUGE and my 3/8" blowoff hose is just a constant stream of bubbles. At a monthly...

I just checked my Scottish 80/- Schilling and the temp in the fermenter is at 74F. It hasn't been there at that temp for no more than about 12-18 hours. I pitched on Saturday around 3pm PT. Getting it cooled back down not. Just wanted to know if anyone has any first hand experience with this...

I know there's plenty of mash tun and paddle pics, but I had too. Just got done making my new mash tun and mash paddle. I found a basket from a large coffee maker my father had saved and I turned it into the false bottom by drilling some more holes and rummaging for some left over parts from an...

I was searching for a heating thermostat and found these from QC Supply. They are made for the ag industry and seems to be pretty well built. Thinking about giving one a shot.

I just brewed up a batch of ESB and pitched a 1099 Whitbread into it yesterday. I pitched at about 74F. My fermentation "locker" is kinda chilly so I put the brew belt on it might thinking it might chill too fast. It held at 74F over night. Shut off the belt this morning and it has settled to...

I think I've read just about every post with the words brew belt in them, and can not figure out about how much temperature shift folks have experienced. I know the manufactuer says abround 10F from ambient, but that not really helpful. My situation is this. I have a small area to ferment in. A...

I was thinking of what would happen if you were to add some milk sugar to an ESB. Does anyone have any experience or input into this possibility? Just an idea. :drunk: Cheers.

Any thoughts on this recipe? I realize the OG and FG will be different based on the LME late addition and the maltodextrin, but I'm not too concerned about that. Hooligan Bitter - Extract ------------------------- Style: Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale) Batch: 5.00 gal...

A friend of mine gave me this 7.75 gal keg he had in his garage forever. Inside was nasty. Anyway I pulled the tube, valve and bung and washed it out. Well I'm thinking I can use it for a brew kettle or at least as a mash tun. I can go ahead and zip the top out with my grinder, but I need some...

Got a little inspired looking at some bottle crates and decided to make one. I like the idea of having a good solid box to take some bottles camping or to a friends house. The box is nice because you can sit on it, or play cards on it. I'm pretty broke at the moment so I decided to make it out...

Has anyone actually brewed John Palmer's "Lord Crouchback's Special Bitter" recipe? I am looking at trying it out, and have been doing a lot of research on tweaking the recipe a bit. Think I have something figured out, but just wanted to see if anyone had any feed back from the original recipe...

Hello all. Been referencing the forum from time to time, and figured I better go ahead and get a profile. Just getting ready to finish putting my gear together to brew in my little house. Still looking for some equipment though.
