A friend bought a used PLC based brewery which is controlled via an EZ3 (see 2nd image below) from ezautomation.net. He's not sure the source of the code on the EZ3 and when it powers up there's a "PLC1: read error" (see 1st image below). Nothing responds on the touchscreen when the error...

If you are Mike in ABQ your 1 star review of the Brewbuilt X1 is published on the morebeer site along with a couple of replies from the seller. https://www.morebeer.com/products/brewbuilt-x1-uni-pro-premium-build-tec-conical-system-placeholder.html

Wyeast 2124 (Bohemian Lager), WLP 830 (German Lager), and Imperial L13 Global are supposedly all the Weihenstephan 34/70 strain. FWIW, I don't get an aftertaste with W34/70 and a number of commercial brewers claim to use it. Fermentis S-189 has been a solid performer for me but while lots of...

All of you who are unhappy with your starsan please post your address and I'll send a box and postage.

That's a very nice setup for $500 imo.

Wasn't Mell somehow involved with Kato Kalin or am I mixing my mad posters together?

Go Yooper! My favorite word is: RETIRED! Because that's what I'll be January 1st.

I use a 15.5 G keggle for 10 gallon batches using a wilser BIAB and a hoist. My last batch probably had as much grain, 32 lbs, as the most I've ever used as mash water was spilling out of the top of the keggle. I had actually planned to use 2 more lbs of grain but there was no way they were...

She looked good in January 1975 imo.

DSOTM was released in March 1973 so it had already been out for 8 months. I was 14 you old timer.

November 1973 fwiw

I was listening to a few year old Beersmith podcast this week and I think the guest was Randy Mosher. He was telling a story about one of his first homebrew batches where before he came up with the recipe for it he had tasted some Special B grain and thought it was a fantastic grain. So he...

Is the reason you don't boil in the Foundry only because you don't want to pull the mash basket?

Yesterday I brewed a 10 gallon batch of pecan coffee oatmeal stout and cold brewed with a french press the quart or so of pecan coffee I was using it in. I put the coffee in the fermenter then dumped 2 packages of new US-05 on top of it then pumped in the wort on top of that using a venturi...

Thank you! I took a chance and ordered one even before I bought a Foundry. EDIT: and I received an email this morning that the product had shipped.

I am considering an Anvil Foundry and want to make a dual voltage GFCI extension cord so I can plug it into my dryer outlet or into a regular 120v outlet just by adding or removing the extension. In the Amazon reviews for this in-line Southwire (TRC) dual voltage GFCI product a couple describe...

I am considering buying the 35L 120v Brewzilla and was wondering if anyone supplements the heating elements in it with a heat stick? I was thinking the stick could be used to get mash water up to the first temp quicker and possibly to reduce the time to boil. Maybe use it to heat sparge water...

If this is OMFG what's your reaction when your hair is on fire? To find something wonderful to brew pick up the Brewing Classic Styles book, close your eyes then fan past a random number of pages. Stop. Look at the recipe on that page and brew it. It will be good.

That's the one my neighbor has. Read the 1 star reviews to see others voice the same complaint he has about it. The price is good if it works as advertised.

I have two of the clear beer draught system floating pickup tubes. They were pricey at about $50 each but those are by far my favorite kegs to use and I'll be adding more at some point. I have had them for two and three years and they've held up well and I haven't had to replace any parts or...
