I'm just gonna start off by saying that I don't know the answer to this question, but I just bought a rancho controller as well and I plan on putting the probe in one of these... http://www.midwestsupplies.com/stopper-thermowell.html at least thats the plan anyway. hope it might help

Thank you to everyone for the plethora of pictures and conversations on brew builds! All the info is greatly appreciated

Hello, So after looking at as many sculptures as i could throughout the forum I decided I could build my own. My friend donated all the 1/4" angle iron and did the welding for me too. I made a few welds but he did the majority. His neighbor also happened to be a metal artist and had a plasma...

I boiled the priming sugar in water and then added to the bottling bucket and gave it a gentle stir. I used mainly 12 oz glass bottles but some were sierra nevada bottles (short ones) and some were regular long necks. I used 3 22 oz bottles but I haven't tried those yet. The trend I'm getting so...

So I have been trying my recently bottled homebrew and they all seem to taste a bit different. All the beers are stored in the same place and at the same temperature. Why would some be different than others? There are zero off flavors.... some have all the hoppy goodness that I intended but...

So heres a recap of what has happened to my pomegranate beer... The beer spent a total of 2 weeks in the tertiary and tasted horrible when I tried it before bottling... okay, not horrible but it wasnt anything to brag about. It tasted like pomegranate wine and not beer-like at all. The...

So far the pricing is my main worry. Twigboy2000 had given me a link to probrewer.com and they have a ton of info in their boards about this subject. I was aiming to mainly keg all of the brew and they had a rough estimate of $70 a keg for the finished product. They didn't really specify whether...

I would just like to say that I never once said that this was in anyway shape or form actually happening. All I said was an offer was made. I have no where near the capital right now to do this. All I wanted to know, was some of the pros and cons of doing contract brewing and what it actually...

Honestly, thank you. I was waiting for this answer. I think its kinda strange too and they might just want to fill unused fermenters. Does anyone know what a good rate is for contract brewing, so I do not get totally hosed in this deal?

This is pretty much what I thought was going to happen and would be completely fine with me. Thank you all for your input. This community has been incredibly helpful and I thank everyone for all the helpful input :rockin:

I think so? Not really sure. Your question is pretty much my question in a nut shell. I don't really get how this all works! If i am doing contract brewing, what exactly do I get to do? Do i just provide a recipe and then they take care of the brewing process as well as the selling process and...

Ultimately, I am trying to start my own micro/nanobrewery. Currently I am a homebrewer. Recently, there was an (bar) industry get together and I brought y homebrew. The owner of one of the local breweries tried my beer and i guess he saw some potential in it. Today, we talked and he offered to...

Currently we are in the middle of the negotiations. The idea was literally presented to me this morning and I am trying to get some background info for when we are scheduled to meet next.

My purpose is to make wonderful beer that I can share with everyone. I hope to one day run a completely organic brewery where I grow all my ingredients (yeah, I know high hopes but you gotta dream big right?) We haven't fully finished our agreement yet so I don't think it is right for me to...

Cheers everyone! I was just wondering if anyone is doing this and what the pros and cons were. I may have an opportunity to do this but it would be a long shot. I really do not want to hand over my recipes to someone else and let them brew my beer for me. I want to be involved in every...

Ok, I have looked for the answer to my question through out the threads but I have found no answers. This is my first try at a fruit beer. I made a 5 gallon batch and when I went to keg I split off 1 gallon and added 1.5 cups of fresh pomegranate juice (of which i flash blended to separate...

Tiber_Brew, I do understand what all would go into the immense amount of research but I also have no intentions on completing any part of this any time soon. Unless I hit the lottery soon, lol. Anyway, the plan is to start with the brewery, probably a small brew pub, something that I can keep a...

Actually I have a whole 5 full grain batches under my belt, tons of experience I know. But, I have worked the restaurant industry for 10+ years and have ran multiple night clubs / bars in my day. I have always wanted to own a brewery and I am in the process of starting a new business. As for...

I figured there would be no way around getting a license and I am in the process of obtaining one but I have seen both 5,000 and 10,000 gallon limits. I could do 5,000 but I do not think that I could pull of 10,000 gallons right now. Thank you for your help I really appreciate it.

Here's my first post. Thank you everyone for all the information I have used to brew my first few home brews and now I have a question. So, I really want to start a microbrewery but I am not able to produce the required minimum gallons per year, well yet anyway. So in the mean time I was...
