So I've been running my panel now for 2 years and I've begun to really fine tune different parts of the panel. My first tweak I'd like to work with is the element power in the boil kettle. 5500 watt 220v. If i can reduce the voltage then the violent boil can be trimmed down to help prevent...

So I got a keg, cur it up all nice and good, weldless bulkhead, but my dryer stand is too small. Looking for CHEAP ideas and solutions for a stand and burner. Pictures are great. Oh yea, I don't have a welder, but can rent one for 30 bucks 4 hours. I know how to weld... Help!

Sorry for not posting this on the original thread. The mobile app is horriable at its search function.... Anyway, before I cut these slots into a keg log, I was looking for some feed back. The two big circles will not be cut, just for reference. The dots will be drilled 1/8 holes. I plan on...

I'm gathering information for my next phase of sourcing my equipment. Keggle! Got a keg for 40 bucks.....a score!....now i'm looking into how to work it into a keggle. I understand that concept for a dip tube. Who is using one? Pros vs cons on a dip tube that picks up at the center of the...

So this is more of an trial. Ran 5 gallons 170 water thru a mash that was ready for the trash. Got 1025 out of it. Sweet! Mind you this wet mash sat covered over night. Boiled and added homegrown cascade hops on a IPA schedule. Used washed yeast with no starter. No activity until 14...

A moment of silence for Twinkie the Kid

So the title says it all. I have a truck that gets me 15 MPG, and a charger that gets the same. The value of the truck is worth what a newly used car with great MPG. I'm looking to go title for title. Now as a home owner I Luke to have the bed for small light duty hauling, but I can't...

So I've been ordering a lot of stuff online, and my buddies turned me onto adding funny things to the special instructions area. hilarious! This was sent from a shaving company when I requested that they include a drawing if Mr T shaving his mohawk!

I've been trolling for hours and have found people mashing the can pumpkin, baking first than mashing, throwing it into the boil kettle, in the fermenter, in the secondary. Most attempts show a great loss of wort/beer due to the sediment of all the mashed pumpkin. Problem...cloning ST PumKing...

I've been stuck with some pretty bad efficiency lately, and I'm trying to hone on what might be going wrong. I use QBrew software, but it doesn't calculate PreBoil gravity. Any Ideas how to calculate this??? I'm thinging if I miss this, I could always boil down a quart or so more. Less...
