Saw the ones on Morebeer. Bit more than I wanted to spend... guess I stick to bottling mead and cider.

I hope you are not attaching that wheeled base to the freezer with screws...

Star San at the dilution we use will not eat a gallon jug. But many of the gallon water jugs stores sell with water are super thin and get pinholes from age alone. Plus they are making them so they break down faster in landfills... My 5 gallon bucket I use for Star San is 2 years old and fine...

Filtered 18 gallons of water to brew Sunday, washed some stuff so it is ready...

AL of my fermenting buckets have spigots on them for transferring to the keg via gravity(use a piece of tubing that reaches the bottom of the,keg for less splashing). I brew all grain and have never had the yeast/hop debris/grain debris that made the boil kettle ever be deep enough to reach the...

Any affordable 1 1/2 gallon kegs out there? Used is fine by me... I do mead and cider in 1 gallon batches and I hate bottling... be easier to keg and put under CO2

Were t hey all on the same liquid line? If so that line is contaminated... I just had that problem. Kegged a batch that tasted great, put it where I had an IPA that had some funk going on(it was tasty, just not an IPA!) and forgot to sanitize the line and tap. Yup, my next keg had the same funk...

I have a maple mash paddle. Mash in with it dry, rinse, hang to dry! No special treatment needed as long as you don't let the wet malt dry on it.

5 gallon buckets/gamma seal lids. Think I have 10 of them with grain now because I buy bulk for most of them.

Cleaned 2 kegs then filled them!

My ale I brew a LOT of is sweet, and it only has .75 pounds of crystal in an 11 gallon batch! Cut that crystal way back!

Cleaned 2 kegs, looked at the thermometer and said NOPE not brewing at -12f/-24c for the high temp!

-12 for the high temp today! Ordered a pump so I can chill wort by recirculating instead of running the hose... will make winter brewing easier. Need to get a tank to catch the hot water from the first part of cooling and use it for cleaning... get away from garden hose in this deep cold. I can...

Dunno if it is in your area but August Schell's Brewery makes some okay beers... I grew up drinking the stuff so nothing special to me but they do a large variety of German style beer. Brewery was in New Ulm still so we got beer straight from them by the keg, and cases of "shorts"(bottles that...

Save where you can! My brew rig is the junkyard special, only new parts were some unistrut rail and the 3 burners, and of course kettles. Main base used to be a 3m AV cabinet that was sitting in a junk auction. $5! 4 cans of spray paint $30, scrap lumber, shelf standards I use for lumber racks...

When you debate brewing at -7f in an unheated garage then sanity takes over... NOPE!

Nope, not drinking that! Infection of some sort is first guess...

-7 for today's high temp... PASS! -40 windchills!

Wait for a Northern Brewer order x amount and then get free shipping event! In fact they have one right now(or had? Might have expired)

Snow... plow hit my mailbox and second pass packed it full...
