Id love to have any and all of this stuff!! Thanks HBT!!

The video game route would be awesome, but go old school. Build a MAME system with built in taps, now that is pure genius! Just add beer!

Hmm maybe Cascade would be a good choice too

So a late addition of like 6lbs extra light dme and an ounce or so Willamette at the start of the boil, maybe some at the end for aroma? Sound viable?

I use a 34qt brew pot and do full boils without any boil over issues

I’m looking to brew something lighter for a change and have been shuffling over the notion of doing Extra Pale Ale. Anybody have an extract recipe they are fond of. Commercially an example would be something along the lines of an AleSmith X. I’ve searched the boards and didn't find to much...

The downside is you don't get to see whats going on inside, but id say its the way to go, deffinately if you want to get into filtering.

I needed a replacement lid anyway so i went with one of these for ease. I match this too a stainless - 1/2'' mpt x 1/2'' barb to a 1/2 id blow off house into sanitizer. can use a plug when not being used. I like the larger size that you just cant get from the pop-it hole and it gives me lots of...

I got this from more beer for coney fermenting, i attach a blow off from this port Being in az its tough to keep temperatures low enough for even ale temps, so i use some converted danby kegerators for fermentation lockers. The smaller foot print allows me to do alot more brewing...

I found that it allways helps to put a little keg lube on the regulator o-ring where it meets the tank. If you have a leak elsewhere it wont help, but thats a common leak spot.

Ive got one of these for my kegerator and got 2 crappy Danbys' i coverted to dual taps and use for fermentation. The beverage air kegerator is awesome!!!!!

A temp control is a must have for brewing in my house, even this time of year I couldn’t keep the fermenter under 73 without one. I have a real old school t-stat from the 70’s that I put together, works like a champ, I’ll take some pics and post them its pretty sweet and...

I brewed the Mini-Mash version almost 2 weeks ago. The orange peel and coriander came mixed together in 2 seperate pre-measured packages for throwing into 2 seperate times in the boil. Seemed like a stand up kit to me. Of course i have yet to sample the final results.
