I'm with you on needing to learn the taste attributes of grain and hops as well. The sucky part is the closest brew shop with enough variety is over an hour and a half away. Closer ones just have minimal stuff on hand, and crappy stock of liquid yeast that is probably past it's prime.

Lodi here, not that far away from you @WyattH. How's the empire going? I'm working on my own stake in the liquid gold claim.. or just spending too much damn money on another hobby.

what is the copper tube connected to inside? I've never seen anything like that. almost reminds me of one of those thermoconductors for a cpu back in the day.

Just tossing some twigs onto this experiment basis fire: it would be cool to use that Civic-priced reader to measure DO on some bottled and canned beers packaged after a set time to see if there is any change in the end product. 🤔

I got a Hisense 7cf chest freezer ( NS-CZ70WH0 ) from Best Buy last summer.. I can only fit 3 staggered kegs in it. I put a 2x8 collar on it and could stick a keg on the hump, but my tank is inside. Funny the variations in sizes on these things. If I could go back, I would have gotten the 10cf...

I was wondering if anyone has used this new setup yet? Seems pretty cool with magnets and getting it off a cart or table, but I wonder how well it holds onto the tops of cans and whatnot.

Sign me up!!

I bought a Malt Mucher (3 roller) from Bobby/BrewHardware.com last year and have been happy with it. I consistently got batches of grain that were barely crushed from some big website companies and it was to the point that I was not hitting my numbers with a BIAB setup and very frustrating. Did...

Just tossed this up on eBay. http://ebay.us/M4dJia?cmpnId=5338273189

I'm not east coast, but mine is sitting out in the open in my garage and I haven't done anything more than take compressed air to it. It's sitting on top of some homer buckets and narry a spot of rust. I think average humidity here is in the 30-40%'s

I just ordered the new Oktober BenchMK drill powered one.. super anxious to try this baby out! Are you guys using a counter flow filler for cans? I have a spare CO2 line I can purge cans with and wasn't sure how needed those would be.

what size stickers did you go with for your 16oz cans?

I just used some clear silicon to mate the 2x8 to the top of the freezer. I figured if I needed it to go back to a freezer, better not be using anything tougher. Silicon seals it just fine and I haven't had any issues. It's just standard Loc-Tite brand stuff for like sinks and tubs.

Interested in the two probe model!

It's just depending on space. I have mine inside to keep it all together and not have extra stuff outside.

Where abouts are you located? I'm looking to sell the beginner kit I got when I first started last year when Rona happened. I'm near Sacramento in CA.. maybe we can work something out. you can go either direction with straight extract or try BIAB on what I have.

definitely dump the gas and strip it down and clean it all up. Make sure to use keg lube on all the orings and seal it back up and pressurize to make sure it's sealed

I keep telling myself I'll bottle more to clear out the keezer, but It doesn't happen unless someone asks to try my brews. I haven't made a batch yet that has needed to age, but I'll get to that eventually. I got my kegs and a ton of flip top bottles from a guy last year that was moving out of...

I bought this setup last year on a whim. It's a neat idea, but I ended up going a different route for my conical instead. It's new in the box minus being opened and played with. I never did use it on my conical. It's been leaning against the wall and I can use some cash to put toward other...
