Whoops, yea that's the right link. I'm updating the main post now. :mug:

I'm looking to get some inline quick disconnects to keep my kegging system a bit more modular since I have a bad habit of frequently changing my system, especially since I got my hoprocket. I bought these last year and they work great for my CO2 lines but they have a tiny screen in the middle...

So even two heating elements didn't really work. With both of them running, the stove running, and the pot covered it still took about 3 hours to get the water to a simmer. I decided to try that out anyway but it definitely won't work for the long term. Instead I think I'm going to drill my pot...

I got that heating element in the mail today but even with the pot over 2 burners and the element I still couldn't get the damn thing to boil. I started at 5 gallons but eventually i got enough "boil" off that I got down to approx 3.5 gallons. I left it on the stove for at least 3 hours. I...

Thanks, maybe I'll try that. Are you talking about this heating element? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BDB4UG/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 How did you manage to keep it from hitting the bottom of the pot?

Hey guys, I've been doing outdoor brewing using a turkey fryer for the past two years but I recently moved to a new place where I don't have an outdoor area to do that anymore. I've started looking into electric brewing but my apt is a rental and only has your standard 120v outlets. I've been...

+1, I'll be sad to see her go tomorrow. I hope she gets into some cool after DW. The new companion looks hot as hell though. And yea... sorry Yooper but Bob is smart to stay out of it. up until he mentioned Reese Witherspoon...

anyone get a taste of this? any good?

ooo I like the suggestions I've gotten so far. I'm a little concerned about keeping a low fermentation temperature. I can crank the AC in my room all the way up but thats about the best I can do :/ I will probably do either Edworts or BierMunchers recipe although I've never made a pumpkin beer...

I forgot to mention, I can't brew lagers. That pretty much rules out most Oktoberfests right?

Me and my roommates are throwing a small Oktoberfest party at the end of October and they asked me if I could brew an Oktoberfest for it. The thing is... I pretty much brew IPA's exclusively so I don't really know any good Oktoberfest recipes. Nothing too big, I need to have it done within a...

but then you need to get trashed off crappy beer! bleh

+1 for this. Once you brew up a bunch of different sMasH you could try brewing a 5 gal batch of beer, splitting it into 2 2.5 gal batches and then pitch different yeasts into wort. or maybe split the batches use the same yeast but ferment at different temperatures. Basically I think the goal is...

I moved to a new apt and I gotta do all my brewing outside. I figure I can make a mash tun pretty easily but I'm looking for an outdoor burner and a 7.5 -10 gal pot. Maybe an IC too, I need to see if there's a hose in the outdoor section. Obviously I would prefer to do local, but if the price...
