I am looking to upgrade to a 20-gallon Brew-in-Basket setup and believe I have settled with the Blichmann 240V Brew Commander, but they don't offer their BrewEasy Compact in a 20-gallon size. I have been looking at both the 20-gallon kettle/baskets from Spike and Brau Supply and both appear...

I have never had an issue with BrewHardware. First experience was about 6 years ago when I forgot an item (misjudged how many connectors I needed for my keg cleaning) and he was able to add an item to my order without issue. Second was when I ordered Spike parts earlier this month and had an...

AIH/Austin Homebrew has messed up 4 out of the last 5 orders the last month whether it having items that went out of stock and not informing my until a week after my order shipped and only via refund (not saying which items actually were pulled from my order), sending me the wrong item, or...

I got one of these last week for when I have outdoor parties and don't want to keep going to the kegerator for the garage. Even then, it's cheaper to just fill a growler at your local brewery. I can get a growler as low as eight dollars at Karl Strauss of Fridays. But they offered a deal...

Can you have two profiles set up on the machine? I want one for personal brewing and one for making professional recipes if I go down that path.

Do you just use one red silicone band per hop cage? I saw picobrew use two, but I can't seem to find a place to buy extra

I received mine last night. Already managed to get the drip tray wedged at a 45 degree angle. And I know this question has been asked before, but other than the above wort chiller, is there any reasonable modifications (no replacing the grain bin with that 120 USD one....I already spent too...

I recall that I bottled my Mr Beer batches in used 2-liter soda bottles.

More Beer doesn't remove their value shipping every time they have a sale event. I am very, very disappointed in Home Brew Supply for always doing that when they have a sale....it's very deceptive and not at all as a craft organization should act. It's one thing to have have a ship by weight...

You should open your own brewery...in a city of 125+ breweries and breweries shutting down.

Last week I went to Figueroa Mountain Brewery, Firestone Walker Barrelworks, Firestone Walker, Barrelhouse, Sonoma Springs, and Russian River. This week it's Benchmark, Ballast Point, and Reckless. Not sure about where I will go tomorrow. Maybe Second Chance, but not sure.

Then the standard is set pretty low.

I am not impressed with either. They are only great because A. they were among the best when they were first released years ago B. more people have had those beers and C. people just rave about them and people assume they are the best never having had them. I personally prefer Golden Road's...

Or that it's not that Riverside shop with the bridge blocking the entrance.

So I have two gose beers that have finished primary (one will have cucumber in the secondary) and one I am still deciding. I have a 49 oz can of Vinter's Harvest apricot puree that I have lying around, but I am worried about using it for a sour because I have had peach/apricot young sours...
