Thx -- I've been pestering Joe in their customer support for some weeks now. Asking why some things in the shop show up on the phone app but not the website and vis-a-vis. He let me know they are having supply constraints -- white valves aren't yet restocked, but the greys just came in. I've...

Use a beer bottle or glass instead, or buy a clear 50ml graduated cylinder from a chem supply shop -- improvise. Folks who use the shipping/storage tube will often not notice the hydrometer rubbing up against the tube, creating inaccurate readings. They'll also not take two or three measures...

Has anyone reused their brew bags? Seems a waste to continue with one-time-use plastic if these could be rinsed sufficiently for safe repeat use.

Does anyone have a spare set of white valves? I'd like to be able to have one batch brewing while drinking the prior batch. White valves seem to be hard to come by.

Sound abatement challenges -- my BEERmkr makes an impressive amount of noise during the stage when its vibrating to drive trub down from the brew bag to the waste bag. I brew in a storage closet off of our attached garage. The other side of the room's rear wall is common with my home office...

So with about two years under your belt, how's it going?

Where in Raleigh? Curious who your favorite local brew stores are. I've only been to American Brewmaster and Bull City Homebrew.

New guy here -- joined while searching for discussions on the BEERmkr appliance. Great forum to walk through. I have a little experience, as I've been kit-brewing since the '80s. Only have ~100 carboy batches under belt (took a decade hiatus while kids were young). Have friends who...

This is the first forum I've found discussing the BEERmkr. I asked their tech support if they were going to set up a forum on their website -- no plans at present. They directed me to a Facebook group and a Reddit thread. I no longer use Facebook and see no reason to feed Zuckerberg my data...

Out of curiosity, I put a power meter on my last batch with the BEERmkr (Chubby Stout). 240 hrs start/finish. About $1.25 in power cost (ours is $0.12/kwh). During operation, it averaged about 95W during heat or cool cycles. When it's idling, draws about 5W.

I've been emailing the poor guy in tech support (Joe) with about a question a week. He is amazingly responsive and patient (with me). He sent me for free a spare picnic tap to replace the one I managed to torture (I discovered the part swap option before his snailmail gift arrived). I've...

I was just gifted one this past xmas. I'm not a pro like most of you guys -- haven't yet done a real mash, but I have done maybe 100 kits, extracts and my own recipes. I'm really enjoying playing with the BEERmkr thus far. Haven't broken it, so that's a good thing. I have managed to break...
