Hi guys, Just bought a 14 gallon blichman conical fermenter from someone on craiglist. I just put my first beer (11 gallons belgian wit) into it last night. Everything is fermenting great as of now. I just had a few questions. 1. How long do you normally wait until you dump the trub? 2...

Thanks guys I'm looking into the hop spider. Great Idea. I would like to go stainless as well. What was the cost of your hop spider GoldDiggie? btw I'm using the Shirron wort plate chiller, ended up going with that one after reading the reviews.

whats happen? I just got a plate chiller to add to my system. My current system is 2 x 20 gallon boil pots with a pump, Just tried to use the plate chiller and sent the wort through the plate chiller with the pump. Worked great at first but it became clogged up and tere was only a trickle...

Ok thanks, I emailed them.

Hey guys thanks for your input and advice, I am doing this because I already have a steel frame (which is a angle iron steel fish tank stand that can support a 100 gallon tank). So I figured the hlt on top drain with gravity to the mash tun then i can send the mash tun to a pump that has a Y...

Ok thanks, researched it. I am going to give it a shot before complaining.

I'm building a 3 pot system with the use of gravity and one pump, just wondering if you guys think im missing something? My main concern is, will the pump reach the boil pot if the mash tun is on the bottom? Thanks for any input

Hi there, I just bought this new system:http://www.midwestsupplies.com/20-gallon-all-grain-commercial-quality-kettle-kit.html from midwest supplies and had a few questions. I just unpackaged it and noticed that the false bottom is not completely round and there is a few notches where the grain...

Just wanted to thank you for this thread, I live in the city with some funky tasting water and this cleaned it right up. Tasted just like bottled water after it went through filtration. I bought the exact same items and it cost me around 85, thank you inflation but well worth the savings of...

Hi there, my wife got me a mini brew conical fermenter for xmas and just tried it out last night. It didnt come with any clamps so i had to buy some at lowes and seems to do the trick. I put a batch of double IPA 1.080 in there last night and thought I would wake up to some action but there is...

Cool thanks!

Hi there I have found root beer recipes that dont contain any alcohol but is it possible to make root beer with the same alcohol content as regular beer? I have yet to find a recipe online, any help would be appreciated. Thanks :ban:

Hi guys, I just started cooking my wart outside due to the smell it leaves inside the house, I started brewing and noticed allot of bees drawn to my beer immediatley they were flying all over the place probally becuase of the sweet smell. I thought to myself man what if one landed inside my...

Greetings, I am getting sick of going back and forth from commercial to corney taps, the commercial tap is such a tight fit it takes me like 30 minutes just to put it on! lol I am wondering if there is a splitter out there that will allow me to just convert from commercial tap to corney...

Hey great, thanks allot! glad I don't have a wasted batch (although i probably would've forced it down lol) Thanks guys

Hi there, I brewed a batch of oktoberfest last night, I woke up to check out the action and nothing! I inspect the airlock closer on the fermenter and noticed a crack in the airlock before it gets to the water. Im thinking that oxygen got into the beer all night, would this cause heavy...

Nice thanks, Im eager to put my octoberfest in the keg but I didnt want to under ferment it
