Use the extras, if there is such a thing, as fermenters.

Here's a link to John Palmer - I find AAU's to be an easier way to communicate hop bittering

I am trying to brew a Bell's Best Brown clone. What better place to start than the BYO clone recipe. 5.5 gallon batch OG = 1.058 FG = 1.013 IBUs = 30 ABV = 5.9% 8.25 lbs Briess Pale 2-row 14 oz Briess Victory 14 oz Briess Special Roast 14 oz Briess Crystal 60L 2 oz Briess Chocolate...

A drilled rubber stopper would work fine too.

Tonight my 5lb CO2 cylinder decided to tip straight over onto the tank pressure gauge when I took the last empty keg off. Needless to say, without a gauge protector, the tank pressure gauge is shot. Are there any vendors that sell gauge protectors that will protect all three gauges on...

I think everyone knows how it feels to wait for homebrew to be ready. My new kegging system with definitely make the process faster. No more bottle filling!

Cool, just bumped it up.

I did a cold crash/gelatin fining experiment on my honey nut brown ale today. Everything went better than expected. The gelatin dropped the sediments out in 8 hours in my 40F garage. :ban: About 15 minutes ago I racked the clear beer into my 5 gallon corny keg and brought it into the 62F...

Cool! I've never had a beer attenuate so quickly. And the surprising thing is that I didn't use starter as I usually do - just a fresh activator pack. Again, I am stunned that I can make a beer this quickly.

First: I recently brewed a honey nut brown ale. I pitched wyeast 1056 on the wort with an OG of 1040. I took a sample today and the gravity read 1008, however, there is still a good amount of yeast in the suspension. Will this affect my gravity reading with a hydrometer? Second: If this...

Easier to saw convex objects rather than drill with a point.

Chalk one up for the lurkers. :mug:

I also have a dual body regulator from keg connections. Since the screw is permanently attached to the body (designed to distribute 50 PSI max) I am going to try using this type of hex head screw thumb knob. Hope this helps those who are also converting to a tool-less regulator setup.

I've got a starter going with yeast that I recovered from a bottle of New Holland Black Tulip Tripple (which was excellent). I have never made a tripple as I am fairly new to the all-grain scene. Does anyone have a recipe recommendation? My MLT can handle a maximum of about 15lb of grain...

Thanks for the great ideas. Now I have to decided which one to implement. Let the engineering begin!

I have a 7 gallon stainless steel conical fermentor that I would like to keep at slightly warmer temperatures for fermentation. Currently the fermentor levels out at about 60 deg F. I have been looking at this type of drum heater, but I am unsure what kind of wattage will be sufficient to...
