I live in Anne Arundel County. If you want to know the exact city, send a PM.

It was an oversight. I posted this item on another site with the price in the title. I cut and pasted the body that listing without adding the price to the title of this listing.

I have an SS Brewtech Brew Bucket with domed lid (currently, a $65 extra charge on SS Brewtech's site), 3" TC clamp, 3" TC gasket, a 3" TC end cap with 1" ID blow-off tube (takes 1" ID vinyl tubing), and a 3" TC end cap that is drilled to accept a Brew Jacket Immersion Pro (shown in 2nd photo)...

I purchased these kegs new in early 2021, so they are about as new as one can get without purchasing new. I built 5 and 3-gallon brew houses when I setup my current brewery. I am keeping the 3-gallon brew house and selling off the 5-gallon brew house. Up for sale here are two strap handle...

It is nothing fancy. I used 91% Avanguard Pilsner malt and 9% Weyerman CaraHell in the grist. I bittered to 38 IBUs using all Czech Saaz. Bo Pils is a simple beer ingredients-wise. The yeast signature is part of the flavor. Ferment S-23 @54F/12C for five days before performing a diacetyl...

I have used a lot of yeast cultures over the last 28 years and nothing has ever come close to the signature yeast character found in Pilsner Urquell (PU) as S-23. I am not even fan of dry yeast. I maintained my own yeast bank that I plated and kept on slants for most of the time that I have...

I am selling a 10-gallon kettle and a 10-gallon mash tun, not a 10-gallon system. As you know, a10-gallon system requires at least a 15-gallon, preferably a 20-gallon kettle. One can mash lower gravity 10-gallon batches in a 10-gallon cooler, but doing so is going to place an upper limit on...

It is a 10-gallon kettle. I have always made 5-gallon (kegged volume) batches using a 10-gallon kettle because I start with 7 to 8 gallons of runoff from my lauter tun.

I built 5 and 3-gallon brew houses when I re-entered the hobby in 2020 after a four-year hiatus. Three gallons seems to be the sweet spot for me, so I parting with my five gallon setup. For sale here is the mash tune I built using all top-shelf parts. It is excellent low-use condition. I am...

I built 5 and 3-gallon brew houses when I re-entered the hobby in 2020 after a four-year hiatus. Three gallons seems to be the sweet spot for me, so I parting with my five gallon setup. For sale here is the kettle. It is excellent low-use condition. I am asking $175.00, firm. The kettle...

There are two TUM 34 isolates currently in use; namely W-34/70 and W-34/78 (a.k.a. TUM 34/70 and TUM 34/78). As you have ascertained, the first number is the brewery. In this case, Brewery #34 was the Frohberg Brewery in Grimma, Saxony. That is why W-34/70 is the type strain for the Frohberg...

Wyeast 2035 and Wyeast 2112 both descend from the Christian Schmidt strain. Contrary to what a lot of homebrewers believe, 2112 is not a historical steam strain. Anchor used yeast obtained from other breweries before Fritz Maytag purchased the brewery. The strain we refer to as 2112 was...

I have a 5-gallon AEB soda keg that is surplus to my needs that I am looking to sell for $80.00. This keg was purchased new, and has been used only a couple times of because I mostly use 3-gallon kegs (I am slowly moving to 2.5-gallon kegs). The keg is in excellent condition with no dents...

I have been plating and slanting brewers yeast for over twenty years. What I do when isolating yeast on a plate is to select two well-isolated colonies for propagation to two different slants, one colony per slant. You want to use a loop, not a needle to inoculate the slants. Assuming that...

If the OP is dead set on using dry yeast, pitching Nottingham and Windsor together can be a viable strategy if one is looking for British-style fruitiness. Windsor is maltotriose challenged; therefore, it usually leaves a high final gravity unless one performs one's saccharification rest at a...
