Shameful plea for help to close out roasted barley! Don't you all want to make some irish stouts for March 17?

Hey all - trying to make a toast/nut/biscuit/bread-heavy beer, balanced with a citrus-forward, late addition hop profile. Just using a touch of summit for balance, and then a good amount of lemondrop for late additions. Ideally it would have that toasted malt profile as a primary, and then the...

Island Lizard - I took 10 lbs to close it up. I'll pass 3 lbs over during the pick up.

Of course! This is the cart I used: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Edsal-66-in-H-x-60-in-W-x-18-in-D-Steel-Commercial-Shelving-Unit-in-Black-ERZ601866PB3/202251083?cm_mmc=hd_email-_-Confirmation_STH_BOSS-_-20171128_PP_ET_Merch_Confirmation_STH_BOSS_3086751-_-product_desc__W809347940 However, I...

Our new brewstand, in action! Deployed yesterday for a dry irish stout. We used a heavy duty rolling utility cart from Home Depot, with the particle board shelves swapped out for stainless steel wire rack shelves. Shelves are rated up to 1,100 pounds each. The stainless steel racks are also...

New brew rig!

Hey all - trying to get rid of some leftover grain by making an imperial nut brown ale. Wanted to some feedback on the recipe itself... is the grain bill too complex and busy? I'm hoping for a nutty, toffee, biscuity profile. Walking a tight line between getting rid of leftover grain and...

I ponied up and added 5 more lb each to Crisp Amber, Brown, and Chocolate. The chocolate and the brown only need 5 more lb to close, and the amber needs 15. Let's finish those out!

PMd on Pump.

Hey there - in the DMV. That looks like the polysulfone head on the March pump. Does it have an AC electrical outlet, or does it have to be spliced into an AC-DC converter?

Awesome! Thanks @zombiepiratemonkey!

Hey guys - just joined; this will be my first buy. As a point of clarification, if a split is not fully claimed, is it still purchased and 3 Stars takes the rest for their HBS? Or are all split orders where all 55 lb are not fully claimed simply tossed? Thanks!

I've had good success with this. Just gotta make sure you have good sanitation. Are you using DME, canned wort, or another sugar source as a base for the starter? For me, I tried to make a dunkelweisse, but my german wheat beer yeast didn't take. I ended up krausen pitching WLP005 from a...

Hi all! Hoping for some insights from those who may have made similar mistakes in the past. Made 5 gallons of an AG wee heavy ale last night as a base for a christmas beer. Planning on adding cinnamon and vanilla. Aggressive malt bill, with OG of 1.082 after 12 oz maple syrup addition. Subtle...

Awesome. Thanks for the insight guys. Good idea on reinforcing with different legs.

Hi all, I have a three keggle, propane-fired AG set-up. My past brewdays have been successful, but I have to rely on hoisting the mash tun and boil kettle up some stairs to get a sufficient gravity feed. I have decided to make the plunge and go for a one tier system with some chugger pumps...

Interested in the CO2 Gauge - where in Virginia are you located?

To clarify, instead of wrapping my kettle in a blanket as most BIABers do, I just keep the stove on low.. it has worked numerous times for me in the past, and I have been very happy with the results. The 170 temp was not the strike temp, but the actual mash temp.

Hoping for some input on what could be a disastrous beer.. Yesterday, I made an all grain oatmeal stout, with an expected OG of 1.053. Naturally, I ran out of propane just as I was starting the mash, so I brought my brew kettle in to the electric stove. I was aiming to maintain a mash temp...
