Where did you get the stainless tubing to make that?

I purchesaed a 14 gal kettle a while back and I'm thinking of picking up a couple of kegs. One for sparge water. It will be easier to heat the water in the tun than transfer after heating and hope the temp stays up while I start sparging. Also easier to install sight glasses to monitor how much...

I was using a Bazooka-T in my kettle for the first few brews in it, and it clogged bad. I had to use an immersion chiller (instead of the CFC) and pop the "T" off of there (good thing it wasn't clamped on). Went to the braid with no issues. I don't remember if I have done a pellet only brew with...

I know there are some good extracts out there, but I'd prefer to do one from scratch. Haven't found anything that good on the internet yet.

Check some of the hop suppliers, a lot of them will have guidelines for growing hops, if they sell Rhyzomes. I got a pretty good guide from Brewing News (had to send in $5) If you mix up some fertilizer and vermiculite(to help draining) as well as some other nutrients when you plant them you...

Well I'm about to hijack here... you're right nextdoor to me. I'm over in North Attleborough. Where do you go to get your supplies?

Honestly, what's the diffrence between intentionally holding onto it untill the deposit is up to cut it up, and just cutting it up and keeping it?

Anybody have a recipe for a homemade birch beer?

I should be pouring my Kolsh at the night show in Providence. Blackstone Valley Home Brewing Supply GO TO THE DAY SHOW!!!!!! The evenig sessions are full of people there for power drinking. Plenty of fighting and vomiting..... and ****s!

All this after I fabricated my own set-up. Well mine connects directly to, and hangs off the Keg.

And pressurize the bottle to eliminate the pressure diffrence that causes the foaming. The air is purged from the bottle, then the bottle pressure is eaqualized with the dispensing pressure, then some valves are turned and you slowly bleed off the bottle pressure, which allows the beer to flow...

Just did my first AG last night. Finished up at about 9:30. Cleaned up this morrning. If the weather would clear up I could jump and it would be a perfect weekend.

Or you could just tighten the nut against the shaft. Yeah, they're not going to cut it for you. Unless maybe you go to tool rental, they might help you out there. A local hardware store might be able to help you out a bit better.

One of the guys from the brew shop uses the 25 gallon one with great results. I'd recommend going with the biggest one possible. The cost diffrence between them is pretty minimal and there really isn't a signifigant time/effort diffrence between a 5 gallon and 25 gallon AG batch. As long...

A full boil might not be a bad idea if you can facilitate the larger pot. Better hop utilization, clearer product, and cleaner taste. A hot vinigar soak will help clean up that copper. I'll run hot vinigar thru my CFC from timt to time.

Thanks Erik. Everything worked out all right. I was going to do two sparges off of something I had read the other day. Well I guess I'll find out if HSA is a myth. My system started sucking in air and was blowing bubbles into the sweet wort. I've got to make some changes to my setup...

can we make this a sticky?

I've got a Belgian style golden I'll try to dig up. It has Honey, coriander, and orange peel. I've got 7 lbs of honey to a 10 gallon batch. It's slightly sweet, not too malty, but a hell of a kick. The honey completly hides the alcohol, only problem is it won't truly be ready for...

Would it kill off the yeast?
