You should always boil hard. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer of the hop spider so see if he has suggestions? I have been meaning too, but usually don't use a lot of hops so its not been too much of an issue. I also have noticed the the wort doesn't seem to boil as hard inside the...

I've been having problems with my hop spider clogging too. I haven't found a solution, other than I keep a stainless steel spoon in the spider during boil to scrap the sides. But I usually only have problems with it clogging with larger amounts of hops. I did a Belgian dark strong ale over...

I am wiring a drum switch to control the motor for my grain mill. The switch is Dayton 2x440 and the motor is All American Ale Works Power Grinder. The following are the motor and switch wiring diagrams, followed by what I think is the correct way to wire this. Are there any problems with...

Finished this about a year ago. Thanks to Kal for inspiration for final design and P-J for interior wiring. Without his diagrams I doubt I would have attempted this project.

Thanks for the tips.

Yeah, after a little more research I think I am looking for a 1:1 right angle gear box, not a gear reducer. My motor is already slow enough. Any recommendations on one that isn't very expensive? Also where did you get the power switch?

Finished a mini brew stand today. I'll use it do make soda, decoction mash, and bochet. The first picture is with the top off, second with the top on.

I use to use Rebel Brewer for most online orders. Before this year they would usually ship the same day, if not the next day. The past few orders I placed have taken a week before they were shipped. No explanation was given even though I sent an email asking why orders were taking a week to...

I did a turbid mash earlier using this summary.

This is what I use for a non alcoholic root beer: Recipe for 5 gallons: 5 tablespoon sarsaparilla root bark 5 tablespoon sassafras root bark 5 tablespoon birch bark 15 star anise pods 5 vanilla bean 2.5 teaspoon crushed ginger 1 tablespoon spearmint leaf 7.5...

Thanks! I brewed it January 12, 2014 and bottled March 25, 2014. That was my last 3 bottles of that batch, but got another to bottle soon :)

Got 1st in Category 18 :)

Or me having to many homebrews to ready correctly.

think its bo-SHAY

Start to heat honey to make a bochet, and step away from the stove for a few minutes before it starts to boil. Then return to a stove top covered in hard burned burned sugar.
