Reviving an old thread just to say f the fermtech autosiphon. Getting ready to transfer from secondary to bottling bucket. Reached for brand new AS that I had just carefully sanitized and see that it has a bunch of cracks along the bend and then I notice that the bottom of the thicker piece is...

Thanks KVP. Both of those recipes sound tasty. I always thought it might go well in a wheat, belgian or amber. Especially b/c of the hint of banana that you can get in a wheat or belgian and how well pawpaw can be used in place of banana. Man, shouldn't have asked so early, I could really go...

I am quite familiar with their disappointingly short shelf life:(. I appreciate anything you might have. No hurry, we have until September here in PA. I just wanted to maybe start toying with ideas. Thx.

I did a search but didn't come up with anything except one member mentioning making pawpaw jam and another having a pawpaw ale in the lineup. My father-in-law has a small orchard (700 trees) and I was hoping someone might be able to share some recipes either for food, beer, wine or anything...

Just built my tun this past weekend and was unable to find a SS washer. I ended up buying a thick (1/16"?? thinnest I couldn't bend with my fingers) rigid nylon washer at Sears . It worked fine for my first AG. Hope this helps anyone in the future.

Has anyone bought or used the Plantino 10 gal water cooler from agrisupply? www.agrisupply.com/72917/p/72917/cn/1700005/ Seems pretty cheap and didn't know if it would be one of those "you get what you pay for" deals. Thanks.

I've got that exact setup and it worked like a charm on my first and only brew. Any small amount of sediment that ended up in the bottling bucket settled out and I didn't even wait to start bottling. Didn't leave any more brwe behind than I would have with a siphon. As for sanitizing the...

I had a hard time boiling 4 gal of wort until I went to the hardware store and bought some vent duct insulation. It was a dense foam with foil on one side and sticky on the other. I double it over sticky sides together and wrapped my 8 gal bk with it. Had no problem getting 6.5 gal. to a...

Thanks Frazier. Thats exactly it. LHBS gave the first tablet free so I figured why not. Maybe he sold more questionable merchandise at some point?:cross: I guess jumping in with both feet is my nature. The third fishing fly I ever tied was a deer hair popper. Good thing there are...

Hey guys, First off, great resource here. Been learning a ton. Anyways, wife and I just finished cooking batch number two. I was feeling ambitious and put together an IPA recipe myself with the help of brewtarget-1.2. Boil Vol - 6.5 gal Primary Vol. - 5.25 gal 1 lb Crystal 40 2 lb...

Jealous that your SWMBO let you pick up one with the fake wood. I've seen a bunch at good prices but the wife is too darn picky and demands stainless.

My kit from Williamsbrewing came with a siphonless fermenting bucket. The spigot is approx 2 in off the bottom with a downturned elbow on the inside. It was only my first brew but I think that it worked very well to pull the beer off of the yeast layer with minimum debris transfer to the...

I purchased a kit from Williams Brewing that came with the usual stuff plus 8 gal bk, wort chiller, and recipe kit for just over $200. Pretty pleased with it so far. Will be bottling first batch (eng. IPA) in two days. They seemed to have the best deal if you need a bk and shipping was very...
