    For Sale Complete homebrew setup- hybrid electric/gas

    Everything you need for brewing. This setup was used like 3-4 times a year and worked perfectly for making awesome beer. I ended up using this for ease and efficiency after spending years using a single tier/3 kettle system. Reason selling is because im not drinking much beer anymore and life...

    Robobrew silicon gasket missing.

    I guess this is a common QC issue with Robobrews. Received my V3 a couple weeks ago and also noticed the gasket missing. I sent an email to Austin Homebrew and they said they'd contact KegLand. Since I didn't want to wait weeks, I purchased one from MoreBeer ($2). What ended up happening was the...

    Which fermenter should I buy?

    I had horrible experiences with a Big Mouth Bubbler so I can't recommend them. It may have been a bad one but I ended up giving it away. I have a Speidel and they're awesome for the price. I also have the Chapman 7gal SS fermenter and love it also. SS is super easy to clean compared to plastic...

    Beginner brewing equipment

    I actually agree with the above. Original poster said he wants to do it right the first time which is difficult without spending a good amount of money. I replaced a ton of stuff through the years. I'd recommend getting a 10 gallon SS kettle with spigot, propane burner, siphon and some tubing...

    Big mouth plastic fermenter

    +1 for the Chapman fermenter. I have the 7 gallon one and love it so far. I bought a Big Mouth bubbler when it first came out and it was crap. The top screw cap wouldn't seal no matter what I did. I ended up just giving it away. Hated it and the thin plastic was crap. I also have the Speidel and...

    Maximizing Efficiency when Batch Sparging

    Thanks. I'll just take the total water and use the 60:40 method next time (40 split into approx. 2 equal sparge volumes since I sparge twice). I've been brewing for a few years now and have always used brew365 but it's always given me very small mash volumes compared to the sparge volume.

    First time kegging / No cold crashing

    I've always used a paint strainer tied to the end of my racking cane/tube. It works great. No need to cold-crash.

    Attention new all grain brewers!

    You'll need a 10 gallon for sure. When I first started, I used to recirculate on a piece of aluminum foil with holes, placed on top of the grain bed. That didn't work well and was always messy. I highly recommend those plastic snake-like tubes with the nozzles for recirculating. I've since moved...

    California Oxygen tank- $20

    Since I haven't brewed in awhile, I'm just cleaning out my garage. I bought this awhile back and never got to actually use it. It's a nice size Oxygen tank with CGA 540 fittings so you can get this filled at any gas shop and attach a standard oxygen regulator. Once filled, it'll last you years...

    Low Cost Brew Stand?

    I used it for about a year. It served me well but keep in mind that it will only support about 5-6 gallons. I wouldn't trust anything heavier than that. Also, the large, bottom burner is super strong, which is good, but you have to be careful because the flame is centralized and may scorch your...
