I'd have to say my temperature controlled fridge for fermenting. I never need to worry about what the temperature is outside or in the garage or what season it is. Its a variable that is nice to not worry about.

I was trying to think of something to do for a gift to celebrate my 1 year anniversary with my GF. What else is better than BREWING A BEER! I let her pick the type of beer she wanted to do and she decided on a Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout. I took a couple different recipes with different...

Inkscape is also a good freeware program to use. It's vector based, so it's similar to illustrator. Lots of videos on youtube to help with the tools if you're just starting out too.

Holy giant thermometer Batman!

My buddies and I are looking to do a tasting of all the mainstream victory beers and their barrel version counterparts (Baltic Thunder/Red Thunder, Golden Monkey/White Monkey, Old Horizontal/Oak Horizontal). Victory hasn't made old horizontal for around 2 years and I didn't save any.... was...

I built something like the fermentap sparge assembly with some PVC and a shower head. It didn't work anything like it thought it would and I kinda felt like I wasted my time. You using it with a pump or by gravity?

I think the Death Star could make for a decent size fermenter... Oh, and thats my ship I use to travel back and forth to service it.

Having a site glass on the kettle to measure is great "bling" to have.... I really need to put one on mine.

I've found this problem more of a learning process. Once you get use to your system doing all grain, you get a feel for how much water you'll need. For me, it took about 3 times on my system to get a good feel. Now I make sure I boil with 7 gallons to get to 5.5 at the end for an hour long boil...

Here is my latest label. We actually split a gallon off of the main batch and put jabeneros in secondary with it... should be a hot one!

You can never have too much Nugget Nectar.... so good

Have 4 bottles of Nugget Nectar. Not really looking for anything in particular, so PM me with offers. Also put my cellar link in if anyone was interested in other things. http://www.cellarhq.com/cellar/mattmeiske12 For those of you who haven't heard of it...

When I'm suppose to be working but I'm on HBT looking for new equipment to buy for brewing and looking to trade beer.

That mash paddle is some fine craftsmanship. Looking great! Good luck this weekend with the first brew!

Thanks! I might go that route instead, looks great.

Brokeback Barrel?

To people who have built a copper manifold: Will 5' of copper be enough to build a round (ish) one for my 10 gal mash run cooler? I'd hate to over spend on copper. I'll be getting some 45's and T's for connecting so I don't think I should need too much for length. I also have a dremel already...
