    Need Help With Fermentation Chamber

    So, I've taken apart my compact fridge and am ready to connect to my fermentation chamber. I noticed the copper running on the sides was almost in the foam and then just had the metal sides attached. I am assuming this is for letting the heat out, but I am not sure. I am assuming I cannot just...

    Mash tun pipe connections

    http://www.howtobrew.com/appendices/appendixD-1.html Check out the bottom of this page. You can sweat together some of the fittings, just not all of them, so it's still easy to clean.

    Stir Plates for 1 gallon plus

    Unfortunately, I am getting no dimple right now :( When I try and use a larger bar, it gets thrown. Is yours setup some special way?

    Stir Plates for 1 gallon plus

    I have a regular stir plate that I use for up to 2 liters happily. I have a 5 liter starter going on it right now and it isn't doing a whole ton (maybe enough, but I want more). Any suggests on building one that will work better with 5 liters (I am worried I am stressing this one).

    exract potential calculation (by hand)

    I think I am idiot. This sounds right. I'd like to see if someone else agrees. So simple.. then I can use a formula I found on another page to get the % from that.

    exract potential calculation (by hand)

    I think I am just not being complete clear as to what I means. Try checking out this chart: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Malts_Chart and look at the yield column. This isn't taking taking my brewhouse into consideration. I would like to know what the yield is for my entire recipe.

    exract potential calculation (by hand)

    This is the information that I currently have and am looking to use to get my extract potential percentage.

    exract potential calculation (by hand)

    No, sorry, I am asking for the extract potential of the fermentables, not the "brewhouse efficiency".

    exract potential calculation (by hand)

    Hi, If I have the amount of each grain in my recipe, my water volumes and the potential in SG of each grain, how can I calculate the extract potential % for the entire recipe?

    Pellet Hop Storage

    A few weeks really isn't going to matter too much. The best way to store them is as cold as you can get them (Freezer) in a air-less air-tight container. Some hops hold up much better over time than others. See my sig for a calculator to see the different affects. Edit: For whatever reason, I...

    Need recipe ideas for hop usage

    So, I was cleaning out the freezer yesterday, and I found a lot of hops I had bought with some recipes in mind. Now I can't remember what they were and I don't know what to do with them. I'd appreciate some style ideas for some of these if you could please. 8 oz Horizon 20 oz Norther Brewer...

    Coloring keezer seal

    I found some black Caulk at Home Depot or Lowes that I used on mine. Not sure about your seal, but it seems like it will be tough since it's flexible. I imagine most paints will crack and flake off.

    Question on Pliny the Elder clone

    From: http://russianriverbrewing.com/brews/pliny-the-elder/ Pliny the Elder is brewed with Amarillo, Centennial, CTZ, and Simcoe hops. Have they changed the recipe? I thought I had read in the past that elder doesn't use Amarillo?

    Mash Tun Manifold to Ball Valve help

    Hi guys, Just ordered a new rectangular cooler to convert to a larger mash tun (using a 10 gallon home depot cooler now which works great). No issues for the manifold, but how do I seal the manifold to the cooler and connect the ball valve? I haven't been able to find a project with a...
