Hey all, I made a rather high gravity (don't remember the gravity off hand, but it's about 9-9.5% ABV) Belgian Strong Golden ale and it's been aging for about 4 months (since the end of June) while I debated if I wanted to bottle or keg it. I've decided that kegging is too much pain for my...

That's kind of what I was thinking. 10# 2-row/Pils mix 1# Honey Malt Hopped with 1 oz. NB (60) and 1 oz. Vanguard (10-15ish) Very basic recipe, but the Honey Malt scares me a bit. I like balanced beers, and Honey Malt seems to be very over powering.

Hey guys, I'm trying to clean out my basement of some older grains that I have had sitting around. I've also had some Northern Brewer and Vanguard Hops that I'd like to make disappear at the same time. I haven't taken inventory yet on the grains, but I know I have a bunch of Pilsner, a...

Very cool project! I have the exact setup you do (20 G Blichmann with HopBlocker) and have not been impressed by the HopBlocker at all. I will probably be buying the spider from StainlessBrewing eventually, but I'd like to first try out the HopBlocker liner by itself to see how much it cuts...

That makes sense. How long is the nipple? I'm looking at one at bargainfittings.com that is about 2.5" long. I'm just trying to figure out if that is long enough to be able to screw on appropriate fittings...

I will absolutely be doing that once I get a bottle or two. From what I have gathered, the fermentation yeast is WYeast 3522 (from the collaboration brewer) and then it is bottle conditioned with Ommegang's Strain. I intend to do the same. It's the guts of the recipe that I am struggling...

Hello, I've been tasked with making a "clone" of Gnomegang for my brother's wedding, and I'm having a very hard time locating any information other than some very basic info from BeerAdvocate. I was hoping someone out there would be able to shed some light on this beer for me. I am unable...

So, you just got basically something like this and put two barbs on it? https://www.brewershardware.com/1-2-FPT-Full-Coupler-304-Stainless-Steel.html That's kind of what I had been thinking about doing. Mark

That makes perfect sense... I think I will rig something like that up myself. Thanks for making the video.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm looking to do the same thing, did you find what you were looking for? If so, I'd be interested in hearing what you went with. I'm hoping to be able to put a 1/2" barb on each end.

No worries, I understand, sometimes life gets in the way of good intentions. :mug:

Hey guys, I baked the thing for about an hour last night at 375* and then ran PBW through it both way for a good 20 minutes or so each way. That seemed to push a good amount of stuff out. The water went from almost perfectly clear to puke green within about 30 seconds of the initial flush. I...

Thanks for the replies! I've thought about doing the muslin bag approach with my hops, but I've read that hop utilization can go down dramatically in those cases so I had never gone that route. mpcluever, a little more information on the box would be great! I don't mind doing things manually...

Hey Guys, I've had a plate chiller for a while, but until recently hadn't used it much. I've found, and I'm sure anyone out there that uses one can relate, that no matter how much I back flush and re-flush, I always get more crap coming out of it. The only thing that seems to make a bigger...

Thanks! I always forget about bargain fittings! It looks like they have just what I am looking for. Cheers!

Hey all, I have a stainless 9 gallon brewpot that I'd like to add a ball valve and spigot to. I also have a Blichmann 20 that I use, and have completely fallen in love with the pickup tube. I was wondering if I could basically recreate the blichmann design in my 9 gallon pot. Does anyone...

Oh, alright. That mild steel is incredibly shiny. I knew something was off. I've read about the 2000 degree paint, would be interested in hearing how it stands up to a full length boil. I've heard for best results, after the paint is dried, if you run the burner for 20-30 minutes (without...

$100 for 40' of stainless? I am looking at 4-5 times that here in Maine... It's really the only reason I haven't built one yet.

Irrenarzt, Are those the Blichmann 20's? I am looking to build a stand that will hold 3 of them (I only have one for now, but I'm trying to plan for the future) what is the spacing between the two beams that support the blichmann's, and also, what is the space between the two blichmanns...

I have made this batch 4-5 times and never had this sulfer smell that everyone seems to be talking about. I wonder if wyeast is having trouble with this strain of yeast.
