I use these for my bulk grain storage. They work great. For the storage of my smaller grain amounts, I use my food saver vacuum sealer. My grain mill sit on top of the Buddez container and I’ll kill everything for my brew and seal it up until my next brew day. Having the base grains and...

I don’t consider myself cheap. I have been brewing for 9 years. I started with the Mr. Beer I received as a gift. Now I’m brewing 25 gallons at a time. I’m a diy guy as well. I didn’t buy a giant brew sculpture for $2000/$6000, I built one for $300. Through the growth of my beer set up I...

I had off flavors that were soapy when I was doing extract kits. When I went all grain it eased up. But I still had a hint of it from time to time. I have added a small water filter to my set up. And I religiously use 52 ph additive to my strike and sparse water. I haven’t had an issue...

12 gallons of IPA 12 gallons of 80 Schilling Scottish ale. 279

30 gallon brew pot. I showed beer how much more I wanted it around today. More Beer! More Beer! Hell I need to go get some Fear cds rolling.

Reading through everyone’s thoughts on this, I agree with both sides of the coin. I am an engineer and I am always trying to streamline my process. I prefer traditional style beers. I try to make really good beers to the style. I don’t foresee myself making a milkshake IPA. But I’ll work...

I fly sparge now. If I can go full volume, I would eliminate a 3 vessel system and go to a 2 vessel. My garage is packed and the next step for me is to insulate my shed to turn into a small brew house. So my thoughts are if RIMS was a full volume method of mashing and collecting wort. I...

I’ve decided to raise the bar to my system. I’ll be going to a 25 gallon boils. I’ve been looking at the RIMS stuff and hot damned, I’m going that route too. My question is: With the RIMS, do you circulate only the mash volume and sparge out, as you would with a normal all grain system? Or...

Tough crowd!

Bump $125 on the 17.5. $70 for Speidel.

I see the typo. I typed beano the spell check got me there.

Hahahahahaha!

Beans, yeah that should hide the flavors of being a lite beer. I’ll search the medicine cabinet. I hope they go through my grain mill.

This happened to me just shortly ago. There was only one batch worth affected. I had plans to do a double brew weekend when I found the little bastards coming out of my IPA grain bill. After some serious thought and a ton of cursing. I decided to wait to see what happens. I got lucky, the...

Ok folks, I need your help. My wife likes lite beer and some Hefeweizens. I am an IPA, stout kinda guy. But that’s beside the point. I bought the grains for a 15 gallon Hefeweizen and told the misses that I will be making it soon. That’s when she hits me with...... Can you make me a diet...
