Here we Grow in Hadley. They are great about it... Also, Why are you not at any of our Monthly SPARGE club meetings? SPARGE Homebrew Club we meet anywhere from Springfield to Northampton.. Not sure where the next one is, it's probably on the facebook side of things where I don't go.

The local grow store here in MA started doing 5# swaps(aluminum only, they will send steel ones for refill) for $11/tank. They also swap 20's for $25. Cheaper and closer than airgas or other "local" gas places.

wow, now I wish I were closer.. wait.. nope, 32 Hrs round trip is still tough.. nevermind.. hope someone gets a good start.

The price may be firm, but you forgot to post it..

Golden..

Another option would be to get some sort of wire grate that will support them, span it over the top of the hump and something on the other side to support it. Added benefit is that you do not have to lower them as far or lift from as far down. Or just return it and get something bigger..

Not sure about most useful, but here is a thread with quite a few useful things.. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/homebrew-talk-3d-print-thread.596124/

I'm using CraftbeerPi and the Terragady 3.1 board for the Raspberry pi 0. Runs just fine. I'm using one for brewing and one for controlling a fermenting fridge. I would second Zippy in the sentiment that HATs make it easier to use and/or swap PI's, may of them are also powered to provide the...

While I agree with the sentiment, "anythings a fermentor if your brave enough -- Abe Lincoln" (paraphrased of course) :bigmug:

hehe.. yeah, I grow my own hops too.. problem is, after paying the neighborhood teen to harvest them(cause it sucks) I and up paying ~$40 for ~4-5lbs of cascade(3lb), saaz,, and some wilammette, and sorachi.. the "savings" mean me itchy for 3 days. and storing 4+ lbs of dried whole cone hops...

I do not have an AIO system, so I'm not qualified to speak on that part. I don't know what you will find in the ~$500 range though as they all seem more expensive especially at the 10G level. I did move from outdoor propane to indoor setup, and I can offer some things that have changed. I...

This is roughly my routine as well. I have ~35 kegs at this point, most of them are still 21l sankey kegs. I tend to do a big clean every 9-12 months, so sometimes kegs sit for a while, and I have never had mold problems. I don't know what long term is though.

Looks like OP was asking about long-term storage. I don't think a little star-san would hurt, but I would store right-side up to prevent it from remaining on the caskets the whole time. and I might make sure the pressure is left low.

The big question I have is, When you use the square kegs, can you still use round glasses or do you have to buy the matching square glasses?

Thanks Inkbird, for all the support and for making easy to use, reliable products.

Are you sure the 3/4 lb corn sugar wasn't for bottling? I use beet sugar in some of my belgian style recipes, but typically recipes call for the corn sugar to be added just before bottling so that the yeast has something to carbonate with. powdered corn sugar tends to dissolve easier than...

I would fill one keg with starsan(all the way), use fermentation to gas in on the keg, use liquid out to another keg's liquid out post. and put a spunding valve on the gas in post of the second set enough to let gas out. Wait for all the liquid to be in keg 2, then swap keg 2 into keg 1's place...

Ditto in Mass.. ~$10 for a 5lb and ~$25 for a 20lb swap. aluminum only on the 5lb tanks, but they will sent the steel ones out for you.

I form snowball sized balls from the spent grain to freeze and use it to keep kids off my lawn..

I've been super happy with the Mangrove Jacks stuff as well, always a good quick start, and a decent variety. I really enjoy their M41 and M47 for belgian styles, makes some great beer.
