I love the restaurant equipment. Costs a bit but its gonna make your life a ton easier. Not to mention it will be useful for so much other stuff too.

I'm silver with envy.

My sanitation is pretty good normally but this brew I think was doomed from the start. I made it at a buddies and had to transport it home, I noticed later on that the bucket lid was cracked in two places, and also when I pitched the yeast the first time it didn't take for whatever reason. I...

Hello everyone, Did a bunch of searching about infected beers because I recently got my first infection. It formed a nice film on top of the wort and had some thin white strands all over. Now, I don't really care about figuring out what it is but I want to just save the beer. I have read...

Any chance of running a few grains through there to see how well it crushes them? Curiosity about that grip tape doesn't like to wait for you to build the rest of the thing hah. ;)

Looks like you need a blow off tube from the blow off tube bottle...

Not only am I thirsty but now very, very hungry. It all looks awesome. Really excited to hear how things progress. Mike

I have a weird craving for a grapefruit now...

I use frozen ice bottles but I don't put them directly into the hot wort. I put my pot in the laundry tub and then fill around the pot with water and put the ice bottles in there. That makes a nice little ice water bath for the pot. Also, I would imagine the glass wine bottles might even...

It coming along. I've had a bit of a problem getting some of that enzyme though so it is sitting right now at 1.009. Its pretty tasty and I imagine it will still be good once chilled and kegged. I am still hopeful that I can find somewhere else near me that will carry it. Homebrew stores are...

Excellent thread. I think I'm going hunting for a lab equipment store tomorrow. If not, then ebay shall prevail. Thanks for the great info! Mike

I finally got the parts I needed to get this working, AKA I finally found the Sanke tap that was hidden at my buddies house so I could use my 1/2 bbl keg to ferment. I was wondering, however, if anyone tried this with wine? Or even Ed's Apfelwein? I wonder if this will speed up the process or...

Thanks for the info. I imagine I will end up liking it regardless, however I am trying to use this to bring a couple of my friends into the wonderful world of home brew. Can't wait to see the end result though. Cheers

Hello, I just made the extract version of this for a friend of mine and it seems that it went pretty well. I used Hallertau, however it was the first time I used the late extract addition technique and I think my IBUs ended up closer to 22 than 17ish. The OG sample tasted pretty bitter to my...

This the thread? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/beer-gone-cooking-mash-tun-gone-souse-vide-174958/ That's an interesting read actually. Might have to try that one out sometime.

Or rig up some sort of big motorized stirrer. A BBQ rotisserie motor at the top connected to a huge worm gear so that it will pull the food from the bottom to the top constantly. It would be pretty low heat for the whole time, just enough to simmer but i imagine the gradient would be huge and...

Similar thing happened to me today. I was driving by and saw an old chest freezer at the end of someone's driveway for the garbage. First thought was new keezer! I should have known it was gonna be bad when I had to peel of the duct tape that was keeping the lid closed on the freezer... I...

I could only imagine simmering a 1/2 bbl of chili all day long... It would be worth it just for the picture.

Every year we have a big party where we usually use a couple stock pots to make monstrous amounts of chili. I was curious whether anyone has ever tried cooking food in their keggle on a propane burner? I imagine the clean up might be a bit of a pain though seeing as how chili bits might get...

I actually made a very similar recipe except I didn't have the Carapils and I used half the hops in the second addition (1/2 oz.) I also just zested a couple oranges I had in my fridge at the time and added those in about 5 mins left of boil. In my recipe I went with 7g of corriander which...
