Welcome aboard eh. What method of brewing do you do? (extract/grain) Cheers.

See my review of in the Review section under Bottling :Fermtech The Double Blast Bottle Washer - BW-02 It make washing very quick - even the worst bottles will be blasted clean. Cheers.

Once you you pick the style (wheat or american ale), keep the grain bill and hops quite simple. You want to have a basis to compare the later brews. If you go really complicated from the start, it would be hard to see what you do/don't like. Keep the variables to a minmum. ie) 2-row plus a...

I think they may be from a assembly line roller. The thing that makes them good is the gnarl and the magnet that adds weight. The gnarl is about the same as you would find on a weight barbell. I don't know if a lighter, hollow tube that is smooth would produce good results. Here is the...

Thanks again. Sorry the grain pic is a little blury. Here is some details: The axle holder is in one photo. Correction, the part number from the last post is actually from Rona, not home depot. The green painting tape show were a 1/16" drill bit that measures the gap between the rollers...

I just send them - Thanks !

Here is the Princess Auto Part #: 8033920 17.5 in X 2.5 in Magnetic rollers $8.91 ea. They are in the surplus section - maybe not in all stores as surplus may vary by region. I used this to hold the axles - form home depot: 232227 Tee nut-long prong. Basically a piece of metal that that...

Hello, I have been searching for all kinds of options for making or buying a grain mill. I make 10 G batches, so a corona mill didn't seem like a good option if I could not adjust the crush. And $180 seemed to much for a barley crusher type mill (not to mention customs and shipping). I made...

Congrats on the first AG ! I have done 3 so far...and still am learning about the equipment. Make sure you take some good notes as they will be very valuable next time. (and after)Software/tables/books can guide you, but everyone's set-up is different. I thought I made some very big...

I dryhopped for the first time on my current brew...and I will dryhop everytime from now on. I used pellets (1 oz). I didn't use a bag and had an autospyhon. The syphon didn't clog, and the amount of beer loss from seditment was minimal. I would use the same method again. Cheers.

Welcome to the dark side ! Feels good don't it? Cheers.

Bienvenue Try this place as well.....I haven't ordered from them yet, but they seem to have a great selection and were very good for answering email inquiries. http://www.grainsmaltes.com/ The Deluxe starter kit you are considering looks good - and its a reasonable price. Also...

Drink faster or hide in the change house..... Cheers,

You could always hold on to 1oz...and use for dryhopping. Cheers,

By the hydro readings...it looks like it is done..close to 76% attenuation which would be normal for a average ale. In that case, I would try the dry hopping if you had the time and was really concerned about the sweetness. The other thing is that the better will taste a little less sweet...

Very true about the wort and the hops. Also, a strong hop aroma will cut the sweetness....of course it will not add to bitterness but here is the analogy: the old trick of cutting a small piece of onion and another of apple...if you hold your nose, you can't tell the difference. I made a 20...

You would also need a blow-off tube.

Welcome aboard ! Here is a handy link that'll cover a lot of questions: http://www.howtobrew.com/sitemap.html I dont know anything about kegging....but here are some quick answers: b) Yes...kind of...usually 1 week in primary fermentor, 2 weeks in secondary (depending on...

What type of yeast are you using?
