    Kroger employees?

    So, with all of the different divisions and what not that the Kroger company has, I can not imagine that I am the only guy that homebrews among all those employees. Anyone else here work for Kroger, or one of their divisions?

    Looking for advice on a grain mill purchase

    That is not correct... "The standard hopper holds an even 7 pounds and the optional large hopper holds 15 pounds. Using a 3/8 drillmotor at 500 RPM gives you a crush rate of 6 pounds a minute making the big grain bills fast and easy. The Barley Crusher is shipped fully assembled. There are...

    Larger Fermenters... 10 gallons+

    Isn't it sabco that sells sankey kegs converted into fermenters? All you really have to do is rig up a blow off system, and that could be as easy as pulling out the spear and inserting some tubing instead. You sure would not need to worry about putting a tshirt over it to block out the light...

    DIY 2-Tier Keggle System ???

    I have to agree with the posts in here so far... I am in the process of building my keggle based system right now, and I have spent hours going over threads in here, looking at different designs, learning what people think are the pros and cons of each design, etc. By doing this, I have a much...

    Ridiculous Boil-Off From a Keggle

    Correction, you lose 20% and retain 80%. If you LOST 80%, you would only have 1.3 gallons left at the end of your boil. Evaporation percent = 100 - (post-boil volume x 100 ÷ pre-boil volume). From BYO Most commercial brewers want to evaporate at least 8 percent of the wort volume...

    Heat exchange idea for recirc mashes

    Since no oil can be used indefinitely, you will need to change the oil out once in a while, just as you do a deep fryer, or your car, etc. All oils, to the best of my knowledge, suffer heat degredation. That being said, I would not want the mess or the expense of changing out oil versus...

    experienced opinions wanted!

    I have two of Jaybirds, and they are AWESOME looking... now I just need to get my kegs converted so I can start using them.

    experienced opinions wanted!

    If you are serious about spending a bunch of time turning the top of the keg into a false bottom, I would look at getting a dremel and using the thin cut off wheels to put a series of thin slits into it, instead of the time, money, and frustration in trying to use a bunch of small drill bits to...

    Todays "Deal of the Day"

    yeah, the posting time sucks... oh well, what you gonna do...

    Todays "Deal of the Day"

    It surprises me that MoreBeer does not make one on their site, and update it themselves... I would think that it would help drive the whole thing even more, when you can look back at all the deals, instead of the small number of "example deals" that the have posted in the FAQ about the program.

    Todays "Deal of the Day"

    OK, So does anyone know what todays "Deal of the Day" was over on MoreBeer.com? I am on vacation, and did not catch it. Some days you can still see the image of what it was, blurred out in the background, but for some reason, today I can't see that. Not that it does me any good to know what...

    Basic Brewing Radio...

    Only two hours? You are just getting started. There are Session episodes that run 4+ hours. I have 11/05 - 04/06 loaded onto my phone right now to listen to as I drive and what not. The shortest is 2h 10m, the longest is almost 4h, and the average is just over 3h. To the best of my...

    HERMs vs. RIMs

    I have to agree with talley on this one... I currently have 5 kegs, and two more coming. I have picked them all up off of craigslist... and no, I don't want to get into any ethical arguments with people about this. The simple fact is, there are kegs out there that people are looking to get...

    HERMs vs. RIMs

    +1 on HERMS... for the reason he stated, and the fact that you are not direct heating the wort.

    HERMs vs. RIMs

    RIMS stands for Recirculating Infusion Mash System. With a RIMS system, you are directly heating the wort, either via a water heater element mounted into the mash tun, or via a gas burner mounted under the mash tun. In order to avoid scorching, and to ensure a uniform temperature through out...
