@Hwk-I-St8 Thank you. I had not made it over there yet. @Bent-Brewer Thanks. I had found that site. I think I've looking to build a storage/three kettle-wide setup. Storage top and bottom when not in use, the top as a work surface with hangers and stuff on the side. I have to make it modular...

Hi all. I started brewing a couple of years ago, but dragging out everything, and organizing it, and putting it away is keeping me from brewing more often. I know, I know, I know...first world problems. Has anyone worked out a “cart” system allowing then to store a burner, large kettles/brew...

I am about to setup a kegged, non-beer, beverage. I found a fruit wine that is delicious when carbonated. For dispensing, when I use several feet of hose to lower dispensing pressure, if I don’t dispense for a few weeks, does the carbonation of the fluid in the line remain the same as in the...

Hi. Which online retailers have the best deals, inclusive of shipping, for DME and LME?

As far as style, I am not trying to mimic a style...although if I could decide on one as a start it would probably be easier. My goal is develop a very drinkable beer, with a little character, and I think some mouth feel. I would prefer to drink one 16-20oz beer with with a higher ABV, vs...

@brownni5 Thanks for the feedback...could you recommend strategies for getting to a lower final gravity in my next batch?

My blood orange beer using wheat DME has finished fermenting in the primary. I've come from a 1.078 SG and are currently at 1.016. This has taken 18 days. My tilt says the gravity has not changed in two days. If I rack it to a secondary, and are patient a couple more weeks, could I expect the...

Re-posting in the correct forum - Has anyone owned both Cannonball and Torpedo kegs? I’d like to pickup a couple smaller kegs and cannot find any side by side comparisons.

Do we have a thread that gives a list of commercially made beers we can taste to learn the effects of our home brewing decisions? For example: a dry beer Hop selections Body decisions Etc. Im not interested in duplicating styles, but really dialing in my own tastes preferences to the...

I’m on day 13 of primary fermentation. My Tilt says gravity has dropped from 1.078 to 1.025, and I still have consistent activity in the airlock. At what point would y’all rack to a secondary? Or would you wait a couple more weeks before making the decision to use a secondary vs going straight...

I’ve been using spring water from Walmart...I’ve been worried about the chlorine in the water, but maybe on my next batch I’ll throw caution to the wind, save myself $5 in ingredients, and just use tap water!!

Hi @Willie66. Greetings from Plano. Glad to hear you like the Frisco water...not sure I could pull the trigger to try a batch with Plano water!

Hi. Has anyone owned both Cannonball and Torpedo kegs? I’d like to pick up a couple smaller kegs and cant see to find any side by side or cut all use comparisons.

After 8 days of fermenting, I still have airlock activity. I’m at current gravity 1.043, down from SG 1.78...my Tilt says I'm about 46% attenuated (yeast is rated for 72%) and an ABV of 4.73%. I’m currently at 68°F without helping it with supplemental heating. At what point should I consider...

Okay...so I'm bought in now that using a thermowell to control temperature is not the best way to go, but it is good for internal monitoring. How are you applying your probe to the carboy? My carboy is wrapped up in a carboy cover (this one...fits perfectly by the way, I highly recommend) with...

I cut down a piece of sheet metal...it got the job done...although I'll likely get heat shields. If I was to drill my own holes on another, is there any reason not to group the components closer together? The probe, valve and sight glass are at 4:00, 6:00 and 8:00.

My Inkbird/Thermowell combo is reporting within 1 degree...but I've also not had any temp movement yet...

I have a stopper with a thermowell, and in Inkbird probe (the small probe). Should I just stick the probe into the bottom of the thermowell, or should I fill the thermowell with water or star san solution? Thank you for your feedback.

I gave the wort a shot of oxygen (first time using) right before I pitched the wort last night around 11:00 pm, but couldn't get anything except large O2 bubbles. After I put everything away, I went to clean the O2 wand, and noticed the compression fitting was loose, so very likely nothing got...

I just finished my boil... Used 9 pounds of DME instead of the six to try to raise the original gravity, and I’m waiting for it to cool down. I used blood oranges from Central Market, I took the zest and the fruit and I whipped them up with my immersion blender. For this batch I used coriander...
