There is a lot of good feedback here. I've long thought of getting away from carboys because of the weight, lifting them in and out of my keezer and generally moving them around. I've seen pictures of what can happen if you drop one of those things. In fact one of my main reasons to move to...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I hadn't thought of the BIAB concept as brew in a basket, that makes sense. I also so have access to 240V in my garage (I'm in SE Virginia and we rarely get so cold that the pipes freeze) so I'm not considering a 110V system. I think I'm going to give the AIO...

I've been all grain brewing for some years using the most basic of set-ups. I use propane, a cooler for a mash tune, a 20 gal pot for boil, jaded hydro for chilling, etc. I've made a lot of good beers and a few stinkers this way. I have my system dialed in pretty well and can usually hit my...

Hi, I'm interested in this as well as the conical. Can you PM me with your contact info? I'd like to discuss. I'm in VA near Yorktown.

Hey folks, I have about 45 lbs remaining out of a 55 lbs sack of Bairds Heavy Peated Malt (Phenol 35-45) that I picked up from MoreBeer about 3 weeks ago. I'll never use all this. I bought it because it was the only heavy peated malt I could find. I'd like to trade pound for pound for any...

My last group buy here was December 2015. I still have some specialty stuff but I'm out of base malts so I gotta get in this time.

I made this beer this morning. Slight variation, Im doing a 10 gallon batch so I used 11 lbs German Pilsner, 10 lbs Munich malt light, 2 lbs Caramunich. After sparge I had almost 14 gallons. My grain is all 2 years old so when I took a gravity at the pre-boil and it was 1.02 I almost quit...

Brewed yesterday. Looking forward to having this ready for spring.

Brewing this beer right now. I doubled the recipe for a 10 gal batch.

I need to try this one.

Subscribed. I doubt ill need a sack of anything after GB #14 but i might join a split just to come down on pick up day and taste a few brews.

I can bring a folding table. What time could/should i show up to help?

I openned the split for Caramunich. If no one takes the last 10# dont cancel please, ill take it to keep the split going. Thanks for putting this together.
