    WTB: 3 gallon pin-lock kegs

    Adventures is one of the many local home brew stores near me. Give them a call. I have found that out of stock on their website does not mean out of stock on the store level. When you call, select the Ann Arbor location from the phone menu. If they have them at their Ann Arbor store which is is...

    Outdoor Brewers - what do you do in the winter?

    I live not far from you. I brew all winter outside regardless of temp. I mash in a 10 gallon round beverage cooler and get very little temp drop during a 1 hour mash even in the dead of winter. I boil on the back porch in the open air, then cool with my immersion chiller. You can run a hose...

    Barleywine tastes like cough syrup

    6 months is a long time for oak cubes. Let it age. 2 ounces at 2 months turned out to be a bit much in an imperial stout I brewed. The oak faded quite a bit after it was off the oak 6 months. Let it sit. Patience is your friend with mega brews.

    Homebrew and Customs?

    Leave the homebrew at home. Plenty of good breweries here that package beer and have it on the shelves of just about every store. Bells, founders, shorts.............the list just goes on and on. For cheap canned camping beers, founders all day ipa or dirty bastard are hard to beat.

    Subs for centennial

    Use warrior for bittering. You will have to use less. Use cascade for your 20 min, Save your centennial for your 5 minute addition, dry hop with simcoe. It will be delicious.

    Boil off rate Bayou Classic 44 qt?

    There are a lot of variables. Your burner and how much flame you are throwing at the pot are 2 huge ones. For example: I have the 64 quart bayou. One one of my burners the burner is closer to the bottom of the pot and I have a higher psi regulator allowing me to really hit it with heat hard. If...

    Summer Party Beer Suggestions

    I would suggest biermunchers centennial blonde. One of the best crowd pleasing homebrew recipes of all time. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=42841 I would also recommend an easy drinking brown ale. Browns are always well received.

    Will cold break be filtered by a mesh?

    I pour my wort from the kettle through a mesh strainer to strain out the hops. You may have seen me do this at a few brew days ;) . Some of the hot break material gets caught in with the hop sludge, and some just ends up getting mixed in the wort. The strainer does get clogged up pretty well and...

    Hopslam 2016 is in the house!

    This years is not as floral and fruity. It is like a very bitter 2 hearted. I like it. Glad I only bought a couple 6 packs though.

    Reviews on Millar's Barley Mill?

    I mounted mine to a food grade bucket lid. I cut a hole in the lid just wider and longer than the bottom of the mill, Placed a couple wood strips on the lid to reinforce it, drilled through the wood and lid to put bolts through, then bolted it down. I added some additional screws to keep the lid...

    Looking for perfect grain crush

    It has been years since I had to adjust mine. I put the card up against the roller that stays stationary then slid the roller that is moved for adjustment over till the card stayed in place between the two then cranked the set screws down. Had to crank handle to move the card out.

    Michigan Brewery Road Trip

    Atwater is a must skip. Most of their beers have an off flavor that screams... I forgot to treat my water for chlorine/chlormine. Many I know refer to Atwater as: asswater due to this. Batch could also be skipped. There are better breweries that are worth your time. I recommend starting your...

    Reviews on Millar's Barley Mill?

    For a mill with hardened rollers you will not find a better mill for anywhere near the price of a b3. I have the b2 and bought it right after its release. I have run over a thousand pounds of grain through it and the rollers show no sign of wear. Over 4 years later I also have not had to change...
