hi rabeb, I have committed to hold everything for markw who is planning to buy the whole thing. For now i will say everything is sold less the cornies.

Yes I would do that. Ill get you a picture of it a bit later, its made for a Coors keg and I slightly modified the edge so that the bubbler tube could pass through it. Ill get you an updated price too when I look at what the shipping would cost.

Everything is SOLD (for now) except for the 2 soda kegs!!! Will update if deal falls through. Located in Fuquay Varina, NC I am trying to sell my once pride & joy brew rig (in pieces and incomplete) to a HBT member. I had it in storage since sometime in 2012 , I just cleaned out the storage...

@Kennanwt5 Nothing wrong with most brass available these days as it is lead free and will say so on the packaging. Not so sure about that zinc clamp though!

You're too funny! Forgot to add that this was entered into competition and needed to hit the style as close as possible. I actually ended up scoring in the "very good" range but not good enough to win. I think it needs to be "wicked good" to get a medal.

I didn't measure the mash pH but I think I read a John palmer article or maybe saw a video where he says higher than 8.0 will require an adjustment.

I brewed a beer intending on hitting the northern england brown ale style (11C from 2008 BJCP). The beer tasted great, but i was curious if i had started with a water that was even close to correct for the style. I am going to brew it again, but i wanted to know if i should adjust the water...

I know this is VERY old, but i too have been looking for the same information to no avail! Looks like a good business opportunity.

just brewed an all grain mini batch of this stuff. 1 gallon, 1.5 lb of frozen strawberries. I'll let y'all know how it turns out! i threw the strawberries in the primary after 3 days. Used US-05 and a bit more wheat than the OP.

could you let me know how this one comes out? if you don't mind sharing the recipe if it is good i would like that too! been thinking about making something along these lines.

not sure about the local stuff but try northern brewer for online shopping... they are a big vendor that comes to mind. i know they have small batch kits. Welcome!

What kind of thermometer are we talking about, the ones uses in the kitchen? Just trying to get the right kind! Well, ideally you would want one that has a long reach, but i find any digital thermometer with a probe usually about 6" long to work ok for me. I like digital because i can quickly...

it looks like that kit comes with a "recipe" although i am not sure what it is. If you are worried about the quality of the components there, i would advise you not to be. Reason being because a glass vessel is a glass vessel, an airlock is an airlock. I would not worry about cutting corners on...

shaking the bottles every once in a while might make them act a little faster. I did a barleywine and had the same problem... keep them at room temp for while if they aren't already and shake the yeast cake off the bottom and that may speed it up a little. however i am not suprised that you dont...
