I run (30-40 miles per week) so I can drink beer and eat what I want. I never drink on days that I haven't run at least 4 miles. Works to keep my weight down and because I love my home brew it motivates me to run so I can drink :tank:

I've got one of these for my HERMS system; http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/files/images/4150large1.jpg but I find that once I achieve desired temp it hold within a degree for 60 minutes+ without a problem, even in 40 degree ambient. If I hit my strike temp right on, I will go the whole...

1/2" ID tubing from Lowes will fit over the stem of a three piece airlock. I leave some sanitize water in the airlock and run the tubing to a small (2 gallon) bucket with more star san. Works great and surprising how much trub and yeast I get in the blow-off bucket. After a few initial days...

Nosferatu Clone IAA and Sierra Nevada Pale Duckredbeard, i've found that mashing in right when i kill the boil on batch #1 works out best. By the time I transfer the 1st to primary and get the kettle clean it's been about 45 minutes and i've got a little time to spare. Improvements this...

I have a 4500 W heating element in my HLT and a 3800 in my kettle. I've built a control unit with a SSR to control the 240V power but after I get my kettle to a rapid boil I switch it over to 110V. I have built a cord that has the 240V 30 amp female on one end (to receive the heating element)...

535 dropped it in the sanitizer a little too hard.

OK, I generally love the smell of hops, before and after the boil. I did a brew this weekend using german spalt hops from a very reputable online supplier. The hops smelled "off" right out of the bag and now sitting in the trash they are stinking up the whole garage. The bag was unopened...

I would suggest using something like this; http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0052HZ3GM/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I've never had much success with step bits. Make sure you oil it plenty while you are drilling.

Chlorinamines are a disinfectant used by many municipalities to cover very large water systems. It is a compound formed by the reaction of chlorine and ammonia and is far more stable than hypochlorous acid (active disinfectant from chlorine gas or bleach). This additional stability means it...

I brewed a twelve gallon batch of “summer cream ale” a few weeks ago. Used WLP080 –Cream Ale Blend as the yeast, which I understand is a lager/ale blend. Spent 2 weeks in primary even though it stopped bubbling after 4-5 days (my carboys were tied up). Racked to secondary, bubbled for a day...
