    Largest Volume Boiled on the Stovetop?

    I brew AG in my kitchen with an 8" burner and get 8 gallons from 140 boiling in about 20 minutes. I also made a foil blanket for my kettle(remade about every 6 batches), which helps alot.

    tap-a-draft vs party pig you choose??

    I made a TAD system complete(see pic) with 3 taps that carbed and dispensed through a 20 oz paintball tank and kegconnection regulator. I ended up collecting 17 TAD/coors lite bottles to use(if anyone in the bay area of CA wants them msg me). The system worked great, but I bit the bullet and...

    paintball cO2 tank ?'s

    I have 2 20 oz's used for carbing and dispensing. The tanks are working out very well and last longer than expected. When one runs out I just get it filled on the way home from work.

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Has anyone aged this recipe? I'm assuming you would just loose some hop flavor/bitterness. I have two kegs that will be about 3 months old when they are tapped(full pipeline)

    SS Gas Dip Tube Too Wide for Keg

    Quick & Easy Corny Keg Modification. I just completed the drilling and it was quite a task. You have to have a good drill bit, alot of pressure, oil, and about 2 hours to finish the job (due to starts and stops because of heating). If I had to do it again, I would buy the plastic one and be...

    Slanting yeast

    Can I get by with a 6 quart pressure cooker? I got it for free and would rather not pay 30$ for a new one. Also do you need to have a pressure gauge?

    ebay aquarium temp controller build

    Built mine and its working, But: I am fermenting 2 glass carboys in a chest freezer. 1 carboy has a thermowell with the probe inside (also filled with stansan). My settings are F1=17, F2=0.5, F3=10, F4=0. I am using a blow dryer for the heating. My problem is that when the hair dryer kicks...

    My new mash tun

    I just ordered the pot off of Amazon for $86. Does anyone have any recommendations for a weld-less fitting setup? I cannot figure out what size I need to order (looking at bargainfittings.com) without having the pot here? I will be using this with a domed false bottom. Thanks

    Grapefruit in DIPA

    I made the HUGE mistake of using Calypso(+a little Chinook) hops during an IPA and it turned out awful. Please do NOT consider using this hops. Thanks.

    Typical efficiency for 10 gal round cooler + false bottom

    I only do 5.5 gallon batches with my 10 gal cooler and false bottom, and I only get 60% at best. I have done batches with 8-17lbs of grain with similar results.
