UPDATE: Garage is finally rewired and 30amp gfci breaker has been installed along with outlet, lights and painted to help brighten it up. Did a dry run of putting together my brewing system. Was hoping to do a water test on wednesday and when I was installing the bar which holds the control...

I'm curious how much larger your 20 gallon pot. I'm wondering if it would fit on my stand. Would you mind posting measurements? Looks like I'll be replacing my whole breaker panel with an updated one and I'll be putting in a 30A GFCI breaker. Cost would be less than trying to configure or...

I was just headed out the door to work when I saw this pop up. Had to stop and admire! Looking forward to seeing it all put together and brewing on your new stand.

So I come home and say hello to my husband and I wander into the kitchen and smack in the middle of my line of sight, out the patio doors is a very large box, Looking a little beat. I remember the post from Jready and the pic and I thought, "Damn, someone had a bad day." And then mine...

Can you post a copy of the spreadsheet you got from Tim?

I'd be curious to hear when you get brewing what you're maximum amount of grain is? I can barely contain my excitement. I'm so stoked. I know that I'll probably want to go bigger after running with this for a while. Thanks for the close up pics of both styles of plugs you put on. Did either of...

I went with the 10 gallon. I brew pretty regularly. So all of my beers are pretty much out the door in like 4-6 weeks or longer depending on style. So I plan on brewing a couple times a week. I wanted to ask what your plug looks like. I'm wiring in my garage and I need to match the outlet.

Looks great! I just got an email saying mine is done and should be shipping soon. Just in time for my garage to be finished. I did not realize how low it sits. I think I'm going to have to rethink my pump situation.

I just pulled the trigger and bought their new nano brewer home system. I looked at other systems for months and I've brewed on the GF and Blichmann systems at work (perks of working at a homebrew store). I can't wait for it to come in and i'll be posting pics as soon as I can.

Glad to see on here a thread of people who have these systems. I spent the last year looking at different builds and trying to decide if I wanted to build one from scratch or buy something "off the rack". I was directed to their website from a homebrew club member who was helping do some...

I tend to use FWH for all my beers, even the low hop ones. A professional brewer friend swears by it for avoiding boil overs, something that was a real problem when I was brewing in the kitchen. This spring my brewing partner and I are going to put together an experiment on whether or not it...

Some changes to the buckwheat recipe and i'm now in the midst of the malting process. I have the buckwheat in the basement hoping it'll sprout in a couple of days. then it's off to the drying and roasting. I still have to do another 4# but I wanted to test drive the process. I will say that the...

So I have a friend who is absolutely obsessed with brewing a buckwheat beer but he hasn't brewed beer in years. So I offered to help. I've been doing some reading and from what I gather there aren't a lot of beers that have the bulk of their grain be buckwheat. He really wants a buckwheat heavy...

Let me first say that I'm really really really pissed right now. I made an IPA for my step-daughter's wedding party. I kegged it, took it to the reception and even broke it down after and left it there to pick up later. TODAY, (the wedding was on Sunday) I went over to pick it up. I knew it was...

I was considering doing a partial mash for the smaller portion malts and the bulk with honey but I want to be sure to hit my target, so this was going to be an extract. Also, my kitchen is not totally conducive to doing partial mashes and the weather is too iffy to be outside using the burners...

Last year I tried making a small batch and ended up with highly alcoholic and well not great results. Here's a tentative recipe I have. I've made mead and wine and I brew beer but this braggot is a new experience for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 4 lbs. Wheat Malt 1 lbs. Oats...

If you can get to the border of Wisconsin try New Glarus. Flat Earth in St. PAul and the TOwnHall Brewery in Minneapolis have really good beers.

Most people are suprised when they find out I brew. I was picking up some books from the store and the guy at the register asked if I was buying these as a gift and I said no they're for me. Like Yooperbrew I guess I don't look like the homebrewer type. I mean not many folks expect a woman with...

To be honest I've only lived here about 6 years but I have become impressed with the beer available. Surly is by far the best IMO and I like Summit which has gotten me through many a night. I generally like to hit as many different places as possible to see what beers they carry, and I have my...

Hi, Just joined the forum and so far I have found more information than I can possibly process in one sitting. I've been making wine since February and finally started my first beer on Sunday. It is an extract kit from Northern Brewer. I'm looking forward to learning as much as possible and...
