As already been stated it’s the time commitment. It really hard for me to find a solid half day between work and family life. I brewed *a lot* but then I had kids and I’d rather enjoy time with my kids than brew beer. Now I do about 4 batches a year. I find the time by taking a day off work to...

I upgraded from my brass quick disconnects to new stainless cam locks. All of this was from the kettle, to a March pump, and through a plate chiller with 1/2" silicone hose. Includes the following: - 4 x 90 degree quick disconnects with barb ends - 2 x straight quick disconnects with barb...

This is what I would do. No chance I’d add any sort of marshmallow flavoring before the glass. It would fade too fast.

As a once very active brewer and member of the community (hey I won the first ever HBT competition) it's will sadness and reluctance that I'm selling just about everything I have. Over the years various things have left me little time to brew so I'd rather see this stuff go to someone that will...

Aluminum.

I'm in the process of cleaning out some unused equipment and reclaiming some basement space. All of the following has been used, but it's in great condition. Everything is for local sale only in the Baltimore/Washington DC area. I probably have even more than this and if you buy something for...

I got a new 12" false bottom. I love my LHBS. SWMBO went in on Saturday afternoon with a rough description of what she wanted to get and they hooked her up. She knew I was bitching about my braid collapsing again and heard me mumble about getting a false bottom between swearing at my MLT.

In for the draw.

Nice. What are you going to do for the front? Just steps or a little porch?

Mine is 15 months and only my 3rd brew since she was born. Mostly because I like to brew early on the weekends and I mostly just want to sleep in on those days as much as I can now. The lack of sleep was the biggest killer for me and mine sleeps really well. Now she can easily go 12 hours a...

Once your ground water gets too warm it doesn't matter how many plates you have. Next brew day I'm going to have to get out the old immersion chiller to use as a pre-chiller.

After another stuck sparge this weekend I'm finally ready to call using a braid quits. I'm thinking about getting a false bottom, but want to know everyone's experience with the different variations in a standard, orange, round Rubbermaid 10 gallon cooler. Do you just use the 12" mesh that...

Keep an eye on Ebay. I got my March 809 pump off of there last year for about $80 with shipping.

I've thought about, but part of brewing for me is about enjoying the outdoors when I brew. In not a heavy brewer, maybe 10 batches a year, so I don't think I'll be moving inside. I'm also considering selling the BM and either getting something else or 2 10 gallon BMs since I only make 5 gallon...
