If you have any type of fab skills, this 2-3" from the bottom of the pot, makes for about a very efficient and quick boil. http://www.agrisupply.com/Bg-High-Pressure-Cast-Iron-Burner/p/64494/&sid=&eid=/ Is also very quiet.

Awesome info, thanks!! I need to start washing and reusing my yeast anyways. At the rate i've been brewing I could save a pretty substantial amount by reusing the yeast.

Brewed up 10 gallons of an american wheat. Friday i'll be ready to rack them into kegs but also want to brew something that day as well. Used SF-05 in each carboy.. As usual the second one got the bulk of the sludge at the bottom of the kettle. Running low on the old IPA standby, would...

I've pretty much been brewing IPA's like a madman since the 1st of the year. Have my IPA recipe's pretty well nailed down. Still have half a keg of "Marubozo's RIS (2011 HBT competition winner)" from the Stout recipe section from last year this time in the fridge but it's got a touch too much...

I went round and round with this looking for a motor with a slow enough speed for my barley crusher. Ended up with one of these for 38 bucks on sale: http://www.harborfreight.com/1-2-half-inch-heavy-duty-spade-handle-drill-93632.html I couldn't ask for anything more, Can turn it to run...

I've been in the same boat. I have a 1/2" drill which is extremely hard to control the speed on. Way too easy to blow through the grain with a minute change of the trigger. I've been looking everywhere for a gear drive motor that would be slow enough. However.. I did just get a sale flyer via...

I keep a bucket of starsan with all of my brewing equipment next to the kettle when brewing. Spoon, Airlock, wort chiller etc.. Leaving it in the startsan makes it nearly looking new. At flameout I drop it in and turn the water on. This also allows me to get a small whirpool going before I...

Maredsous 10 is one of my favorite beers.. I blame this beer for my "good" beer addiction :)

Sign me up! Some amazing prizes here. I could see a few of these putting me over the edge :-)

I have the kab4 from Agri supply, just got the Bayou 30psi regulator hose assembly from amazon also. Have had the burner for some time but last weekends boil using the old turkey fryer version, getting 40-50 degree water up to boiling temp took forever. I have two fryers. One is worthless...

Doh.. I'm usually a very efficient "googler" :-) but this one was stumping me. Found that Midwest has replacement tubes in stock. RDWHAB :) I'll have it by wednesday for sure!

:mad: Have the 15 gallon pot and somehow today, I broke the sight tube. I can't seem to find replacement parts for it online though? Anyone know where I can get a replacement for it? I emailed Blichmann but would like to have it sometime this week so I can brew next weekend. Grr...

I've had the Simcoe Double IPA on C02 for 4 day's now. I did have it in my wine fridge for about a week at 49 degrees to get some of the "stuff" to drop out before I kegged it so that gave the C02 a little headstart I guess. It's not close to fully carbed but I really really like it. A bit...

Check out the 70qt Coleman Extreme cooler via Walmart. Came to 39? Or thereabouts shipped to the store. Target wanted around 80 if I recall. Has the drain in the right spot with a cutout putting the center of the drain nearly parallel to the bottom of the cooler also. Those coolers are...
