Maybe it was different a few days ago but it says $60 shipping for me. It does seem like a great deal at $117 but maybe not as much at $177.

When I got the email, I click on the link and saw some nice deals on base malts. An hour or two later they were all out of stock for the full sacks. Hopefully some of you were able to get some! I still have about 90 lbs of Briess base malt from when they originally had free shipping over a year...

What yeast do use use? I just ordered some dry yeast from Ritebrew on Tuesday. Safale US05 was $2.79. It was the same price when I ordered in May 2022. It was $2.89 in January 2019 so it's actually gone down. I buy at least 10 packets at a time and get a 40 cent discount, which offsets...

Interesting, I've had one about 4 years and don't have that problem. Mine has a pretty vigorous boil, so I usually turn off the 500 watt element during the boil. 1000 Watts usually has a slow rolling boil for me.

If you don't find someone local, I'd be interested in a quote to get it shipped to zip code 28078.

Interesting, you can just buy it directly from their malt house? It's over $70/sack at my local store and I'm not too far from the malt house so I'll look into buying a couple sacks.

I'm not sure what you paid, but you can buy Cascade cheap directly from YCH. It's 99 cents for 2 ounces, free shipping. With the smaller packaging you don't have to worry so much about resealing.

I bought the 2.0 version back in October. I like the design, and the reviews are obviously great. I haven't used it much, but I have found that the beer tends to taste flat when I do use it. I leave it in the fridge overnight to get cool, I pour it into a cold glass, but the beer just doesn't...

How much would it cost, shipped, to zip code 28078? Also, I'm unfamiliar with types of fittings. Does this not hook up directly to a garden hose? I guess it would need an adapter?

Fyi, you don't need to replace the All Rounder every two years. You just have to test it every two years. Chances are it'll last much longer than that.

Turn it the other way 🤣 I have two red ones, and it's not very difficult to twist them off.

Most of my kegs seal fine, but I have a 2 gallon keg that refused to seal. I switched orings, tried silicone, and it didn't work. Bought an oversized oring from Williams and it seals perfectly. They're more expensive than regular orings, but it was well worth it for me.

Use HOLIDAZE15 for 15% off at AIH. At $85, it's fantastic. Some people are perfectly fine with the Corona Mill but when I was buying a mill 4 years ago, I went with the Cereal Killer. I don't regret it

I don't have the best sense of smell, so I'm not the best judge of aroma. I do like the taste of the Centennial 20, as I've made a few recent batches with it. It's been a few months since I've used Amarillo so my memory is a little fuzzy on that, but I don't recall any issues.

I bought a seltzer kit from Williams Brewing last week, and I'll be making it soon. I have three questions for those that have been making seltzer: 1 - Do I have to worry about oxidation since there are no hops? The instructions say to stir it vigorously every couple days, which is something...
