    Solar Electric Panels

    I haven't, but before my SWMBO nixed my plan, I was going to install panels and a grid-tie in inverter. You can find panels really cheap if you search. You can find them cheap enough that it's totally not worth the time to make your own (IMO). With the tax credit and PG&E credit, ability to sell...

    vanilla stout, critisisms/suggestions?

    As someone who knows just a little more than nothing... it seems to me that your mash temp is a little low for a stout. other than that, i'm not familiar enough with gladfield malt and slovenian styrian goldings to even begin to imagine what it'll taste like. good luck to you though!!! i...

    Counterflow Wort Chiller Build (and use)

    Just finished it. I had trouble pushing the 3/8" tubing backwards through the 1/2-3/8" reducer. There was a little ledge on the inside of the reduced. I just put a drill bit through it to knock off the ledge. One of my joints has a little pinhole leak that I need to fill. Other than that...

    Counterflow Wort Chiller Build (and use)

    Quick question what is your routine for keeping it clean after use and sanitizing prior to use? It seems to me that cold break proteins could potentially get stuck inside.

    Counterflow Wort Chiller Build (and use)

    Awesome tutorial! I'm going to build one in the next couple of days and test it out on an AG Blind Pig. The only alterations I'll be making are using 25 ft of Cu tubing (I live in CA where my tap water is about 74 F, I'll be using a prechiller in an ice bucket) and for the temperature probe...

    How much brew do you keep on hand at any given time?

    I guess the process itself isn't any more complicated. The added complication, to me, comes from building the kegerator or keezer and getting the rig going. I can definitely see the appeal in having a kegged system once it's up and running. Space is also a little bit of a consideration at the...

    How much brew do you keep on hand at any given time?

    That never occurred to me, but my consumption would definitely skyrocket if I had a nice convenient selection on tap. Just a sip here, a sip there every time i pass by the tap.

    How much brew do you keep on hand at any given time?

    Some of you guys have some serious rigs! I don't really want to complicate my operation by going the keg route. I really enjoy the simplicity of using bottles. I only have a 40qt kettle. My mash tun could probably handle a 10 gallon batch of anything but the high gravity brews. My kitchen...

    How much brew do you keep on hand at any given time?

    I am by no means a heavy drinker. I drink a beer most nights and on a weekend might drink a beer with my lunch and 2 at night. However, I'm always running out of beer. I don't have any kegs, but with all of my bottles I have the capacity to keep about 13 gallons on hand (23 if you count the...
