Good to know. I've been running warm water/pbw through mine followed by star san solution after use. I actually looked at the spigot and couldn't figure out any way it could possibly come apart. Now I have something to do tomorrow... Well I probably wouldn't have figured it out if not for...

Only two extract brews under my belt but I've learned a a few things that others who are starting out might benefit from 1. If you are not going to brew your extract kit with LME right away - refrigerate it to maintain freshness. 2. If you refrigerate your LME be sure to remove it from...

I just recently got a immersion chiller. Hoping I didn't screw up my beer because I agitated the heck out of the wort with the chiller, alternating between stirring with the chiller and moving it up and down. With 55 degree groundwater it dropped from boiling to below 70 degrees in about 15...

I came to the same conclusion. The 44qt bayou classic kettle is tall enough that I didn't think I would have enough room to easily pull the bag. I would have had to lift the kettle from the stove top to the floor to pull the bag. As much as I wanted to be able to brew on my stovetop it just...

I've only done two extract kits with specialty grains. Both times the instructions were to add the steeping grains while heating the water. Stir or move the bag of grains around in the water periodically until you hit 170 degrees then pull the bag and let it drain while continuing to heat the...

Oh man. That brings back memories of Sandy. I would think that anything Stainless Steel would be fine after some PBW and Starsan. I'd be too afraid of the plastic stuff getting scratched up and harboring some nasties. That said I would think that would apply to anything on the cold side...

Ran across this article and thought folks might appreciate it. I've not heard of them. It sounds like they do some interesting things http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-31/oec-brewing-is-the-most-exciting-craft-establishment-in-the-us

Hello - I'm in Oceanside. If you do end up parting it out I'd be interested in the 10 gallon rebel brewing kettle and some of the kegs.

I was really excited to see Maine Lunch on the tap menu last night. My excitement turned to disappointment when they said it was kicked. All was not lost though - they had Hill Farmstead Mary on tap. That's the 2nd beer I've had from them - the first was Susan. Both were beers that I can...
