My $60 brew stand(not including burners), scrap AV cabinet from an auction for $5, some pieces of Unirail electrical mounting rail, shelf standards and brackets, 2 cans of pain, scrap lumber from my workshop!

China!

Yes, mine is going on 2 years old and no rust

Moved brew day to Sunday, woke up and my back told me no way was I brewing today. Could barely move! If you are young take care of your spine!

Ordered an RO water system!

As a guess you reversed OG and FG and missed a 0 in the FG number.. instead of say 1.056 you used 1.56. Calcuator here that will do it for you https://www.brewersfriend.com/abv-calculator/

Kegged 11 gallons of house ale and washed fermenters so I can brew later today or this weekend(leaning towards Saturday brew day). Get another batch of house ale made and kegged then get a batch of lager brewed now that they are forecasting lower temps next week so my pantry will be high 50's f...

50 pounds of Victory malt and an 8 pound jar of PBW for cleaning.

Long as you have sanitizer in the airlock a fruit fly or 6 won't hurt the beer. Make sure to keep it full though and clean them out if they appear!

All I can say is read reviews then go to real kegs... they do make a 1 1/4 gallon keg... you can maybe find a lower price, I didn't search https://www.morebeer.com/products/torpedo-ball-lock-kegs.html

I brew 11 gallon batches. I use a 15 gallon BK and mash tun. Mash tun is okay for the beers I brew, BK is always and exercise in burner control and stirring to stop foam over(I refuse to use chemicals in my beer!). If I upgrade both will go to 20 gallon, the current mash tun will become the HLT...

You mentioned splitting a batch, that is why I commented...

Okay next chance I have to brew is going to be a SMASH lager, 22 pounds Belgian Pilsner(11 gallon batch), 3oz Hallertau 60 minutes, 2 oz 10 min... no this will not be an exciting beer, basic lager to give me an idea how warmer(ale temp) fermentation does. 34/70 for yeast.

Infection somewhere in the system. PBW is not that great of a cleaner for used kegs, I use BLC and it has removed some nasty stuff from what looked like clean used kegs... I use it double strength(wear gloves and eye protection!) on all new(used) kegs I get in. Since I use pinlocks they are...

Moved a bunch of brew stuff out of the kitchen so I can cook Saturday for Thanksgiving!

If it was a real deal I would have picked one up as a spare tank... but I looked at feedback and nope, screamed scam.

I need an oatmeal milk stout recipe to use as a base for a red velvet oatmeal milk stout. Trying to clone the one made by Brau Brothers Brewery in Marshall, MN. It has lots of chocolate so I figure 12oz Cholaca will add that, and a hint of raspberry I can get from an extract. Just need a good...

2 1/2 gallons in a 5 gallon bucket is to much head space. They do make 6.5 gallon fermenting buckets. I add a spigot to mine and ferment and bottle/keg from the same bucket(no secondary for the beers I make)

"A fool and his money are soon parted" The account is a scam, has never sold anything and last purchase was 6 months ago... you will all be filing item not received claims!

That had to be one hard to stir mash! I use 1.5 qts/pound also and run around 85% efficiency but I crush my own grain and check the gap every so often in the mill.
