Hi all. Planning to buy one in the near future. What additional accessories should I purchase at the same time? Does it come with the pump etc, or is that extra? Would you purchase their brand chiller? Thx

Hi all. Is this a suitable mill? Seller wants $50 for it. Looking for an affordable option.. located in Canada, so that price is in CAD pesos.

Hi all. Local HBS is going out of business. Has an original grainfather for $500, newer brewzilla 110 at $400 and the older brewzilla at 250. Which would you buy? Canadian dollars... probably sounds high for the Ameeicans.

1 tablet per gallon a day or two before pitching. 1/2 tablet when ferment is done at racking to stop fermentation. If you already have potassium sorbate it does the same thing.. I wouldn't go buy a different product. Edit: It just occurred to me to fact check this claim, and I wasn't accurate...

Good catch, yes this is 100% true. I prefer to boil fruit to pasteurized. I ancedotaly find it breaks down and ferments easier. No idea if that's a fact, it's been a lot of years since I changed my process. Seems like I should look for more modern techniques.

I'd do sodium metabisulfate when ferment is done, then add the flavoring juice.

Unfortunately I don't have one... ive been using that process since before youtube existed. Also I use distilled or RO water to avoid off flavors.

I'm not an expert, but I've made thousands of gallons of wines from kits and fruits. Just planted grapes this fall myself, so I hope to be in your position in the future. Wines typically have a 2 stage fermentation or more. Do you want to use wild yeast? If so, great, mash up the fruit and...

Yup for sure. I currently use an all rounder. I'm thinking of adding 2 more.

I know this is old, but I've done it. Undrinkable white wine, distilled, put it on oak chips until I got the colour I like. It's really decent. 10/10 would do it again if I buy **** wine.

I'm off to the internet to learn more about this!

By not a lot of time, I mean I can't commit that many brew days compared to how much beer gets consumed in my place during the summer. If I could do double batches (double as in fill 2 19.5L kegs) at a time that would be helpful. I've only done all grain once but it was for whiskey and it...

Hi all. What's considered the best of the electric systems? I haven't done all grain yet, but I'm committed, and saving for a system. I'm attracted to the Anvil 10.5 so far. Seems less complicated, does 110 and 240, and fits my t500 distilling lid. Any experience with them? Also, I don't have a...

Any of you guys from Canada that can find a good price on the spear removal tools? I found one single cheap one, but I'm not sure if it would work, it mentions tamper proof locking clips, and I have no idea if that's what I have? https://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/keg-opener-d-and-s.html

Telescopic? I love that idea. My cip ball should be here any day...amazon is a bit late.

My homebrew store guy got me set up, all cleaned for $50. Got 12 clean kegs and a full one, so I'm good for a bit. But I will find a way to keep then maintained.

I did take one out, it was a pain. The tool makes sense for me if I brew exclusively with these, as I plan..

Thanks for the advice. Just ordered a cip. I'm looking for the tool at a reasonable price. Dang those are expensive. About $150CAD shipped. I'm sure there are better prices around.

I'm not sure either. I have a 1/2 hp one for my hot tub that I plan to use, of course it will be well cleaned. If it dies it dies and I learn a lesson. Those riptide pumps are the better part of $400 here.

That's basically my idea, but with a submersible pump. I don't have a fancy riptide or anything yet. I'll try tonight with just the fittings and see what it does!
