    Water

    Does your municipality publish their water report? I would be interested in what their numbers are.

    This... No more stealing lines from kegs and having to leave the kegerator door open.

    Fermentation and Conditioning

    If you don't already know, cold crashing will cause a pressure drop in the fermenter which needs to be addressed. If you don't have a plan to address it, you might want to skip this step. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/oxidized-beer.684732/

    Interactive instructional videos?

    American Homebrewers Association has a lot of video content to paid members. Their "how to brew" videos seem pretty basic, but they have a lot of pro brewer videos too.

    Heated coffee mug?

    If you're looking at Yeti, Contigo is a great alternative. I've never been disappointed by their insulated mugs. Keeps the coffee hot for most of the day.

    Floating dip tube

    I use the screen in my fermenter so I can dry hop loose with no worries. Even with the screen, the floating dip tub sucks up every last drop of beer. I also find that it keeps the end of the tube off the trub just enough so that it sucks up less yeast when it bottoms out. If using a screen...

    Draft line material help!

    I have the same setup, but my water flow is in the opposite direction. I have a carb cap on the pump line feeding into my quick disconnect. Then I just open the tap and let the cleaning solution pour back into the bucket. Is there an advantage to running it through the faucet or is that just...

    What the hell is wrong with the site?

    New servers could help. Who knows? I only saw a banner for this once on HBT. I had to do a Google search for this link. https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=NEXEBS2DPZ2V4

    Question regarding cleaning tap and beer lines

    You should break your taps down every once in a while and give the internals a scrub with a faucet brush. My old rear seal faucets used to collect gunk in the shaft, specifically the hole where the lever would go into it. I think it was mold, and I was horrified when I saw this. For some...

    What's your favorite sandwich?

    In the summer, you can't beat a garden tomato sandwich on toast with mayo, salt, and pepper. Best served warm. I'd pair it with a kolsch, cream ale, or light lager.

    Maltex Cereal

    Anyone ever try this stuff? When I'm cooking it, my kitchen smells just like my garage on brew day. It tastes good too, with chopped walnuts and some maple syrup, but I think I like it mostly for the smell. 😄

    Unusual Mash Problem

    Have you tried stirring as you heat the mash? What's your water to grain ratio? I don't think you shared the size and model of your water boiler either. That would be helpful.

    Unusual Mash Problem

    Your bag is getting clogged. You're expecting the wort levels in the boiler and bag to equalize, but you're filling the bag faster than it can return the wort to the boiler. I would clean the bag well with a good soak in hot water and PBW. Then I would check the grain crush. Also, adjuncts...
