    ALL beers - extract AND all grain taste bad. Please help me with new suggestions

    Why not forgo the chiller altogether and use ice bath to rule it out for certain one way or the other? New to this myself but I'm figuring there may be a possibility of something going on in the wort itself with your starsan soaked chiller....that you may not get just doing the water...

    Wort chiller "technology"

    Perhaps laminar flow led you here. Or maybe destiny. In any case we all get to enjoy the Ruffles comment.

    NEW BREWERY NAME, you choose.

    Pickaxe is my fav with Lost Miner a close second. Lost Miner has the potential for quick recognition should you ever go pro. Just send a case to the next cave-in and you're sure to grab publicity. Champion an effort to provide relief workers with it and you'll grab headlines! If that should...

    A lovely girl from China

    That's how they get ya jgln. Then they wheel ya in with the story about the rich uncle without access to his bank account so they need to use yours to transfer it over and you get like 200000.00 dollars for your trouble. It ALWAYS starts with a lovely girl from China. Or is that Nigeria? I can't...

    Your Brewstand Retrospectives?

    You can also cut more accurately and with ease with a reciprocating saw. It vibrates too much at full run but doesn't cut very well at lower speed settings....so I simply set it to max and hit the button to get it going, letting go and coming down as it slows down. Made for some very accurate...

    Weldless brew stand.

    Ok can't find my measurements but it's very similar to this one : http://www.lancedrolet.com/?p=7 I made it wider for more stability and not as long. So my MLT sits sideways instead of longways like this guy did. My big concern when I mount the bottom burner is that the steam will...

    Weldless brew stand.

    Yeah mine is. It's two teir atm I just pour back into the burner enabled top section but eventually when my budget allows (read as: when SWMBO says ok) I am going to mount another burner on the bottom teir for complete gravity system. Now I just store the gas tank down there. It's stable and if...

    why no starter on dry yeast?

    I have some dry yeast that I have had for a very long time. Not sure if it's still good or not. Everything I see is that dry yeast needs no starter and it can actually hurt. Is it absolutely forbidden? Don't want to throw it in if it's bunk but don't want to buy a new packet if I can test it...

    Is this a good deal?

    http://www.kegcowboy.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=138 Want to make a keggerator with two varieties of beer on tap. Found this kit after much searching but not sure if it's the best I can do. I like that it comes with everything but if I can get the kegs separate from...

    New idea for a fermentation chamber?

    I don't understand how you can maintain a controlled temp on the warm side. The cool side will be controlled via temp controller...I assume...but the warm side will be modified and maintained by what? While the temp controller is focused on the cold side, the warm side will flucuate wildly.

    Cheap & Easy 10 Gallon Rubbermaid MLT Conversion

    Yeah I started out with original white gasket left in. Tried a special washer on top of that and it still trickles out. Done messing around, ordered foodsafe high temp (up to 400 degrees) caulk from McMaster-Carr and going to seal that mfer up for good.

    Forgot to stir the wort and water...

    I don't see any reason why not. Diffusion will occur. It's not like the it's oil and water.
