    WTB:Kegerator

    Not enough space for a full on fridge. I have mini-fridges I tried but... it's a waste. Kegerator is the only way for now.

    WTB:Kegerator

    I know, I know I should make my own and what not but... I just don't have the means, time, or space to make one at this point in time. Now that that is out of the way... So, I need a Kegerator. I got 3 brews in Secondary BEGGING to get kegged and carbed @ serving temp... and every day I...

    Anti-IPA ?

    Wow... I don't believe this thread is still raging. That's great. My opinion has shifted slightly from my original posting... The more I was exposed to brewing at home and hops in their raw form, the more I got to learn to love them. I'm still no uber- hop head but.. I can down some IPAs and...

    Better Racking/Siphon Equipment?

    The more I research... Stainless racking cane looks good and all- but theres no alternative to the plastic auto-siphon... weak. Maybe I should just buck up and pump it up.

    Better Racking/Siphon Equipment?

    So... after Day1 with my floating therm cracking in my brew... and ironing out my Shirron Chiller setup... I move to Day2. Brewing a Newcastle Clone and trying to utilize the same siphoning/racking equipment... it decided to break and warp on me... essentially being useless. Good thing I had...

    Floating Thermometer=FAIL

    Just pitched WL Londan Ale Yeast... After leaving the trub and sorting through it... saw LOTS of those little balls in it. Luckily, my painters mesh didnt allow ANY trub garbage through the chiller... LOVE THIS SHIRRON as well... Chilled out to probably a perfect average of 70F... 66degF on...

    Floating Thermometer=FAIL

    Wow- didn't know stainless racking equipment existed... with filters no less. I'd love to get one with some kind of.. three stage filter equipment that I could disassemble for easy cleaning.. that would be epic.

    Floating Thermometer=FAIL

    I don't think Im ditching this brew... too promising. I'll be the guinea pig... I'll make sure nothing goes in that damn primary except sweet, sweet wort.

    Floating Thermometer=FAIL

    Did you ditch your batch or use it as an exercise in not getting ANYTHING near your Primary from the trub.... May not be a bad exercise since this will be my first Shirron Plate Chiller usage as well...

    Floating Thermometer=FAIL

    Broken Floating Thermometer in the last 15 minutes of my heady Breakfast Oatmeal/Maple/Molasses/Vanilla/Bourbon stout. Why the hell did I even keep it in there mid-boil? Moral of the story... Stick to the clip on candy-therms or the Digital therm... Boot your floating thermometers...

    QD/Fittings Question

    SS fitting @ Lowes no good? I figured that would be best- then again I haven't scoped their selection yet...
  17. BillyVegas

    QD/Fittings Question

    Nothing on this? No rules or guidelines to use to get proper fittings and such to handle the heat/wort? Any special pumps out there besides the $150 piece I saw the big order on the other day?

    QD/Fittings Question

    This will be the first time I'm venturing out to assemble some tubing and fittings for my rig- so excuse the ignorance. I'm getting th eshirron Plate Chiller and want to build a backflush adapter, and get the proper QDs for the Ins/Outs... Is there anything specific I should look for when...

    All Grain RIMS/HERMS Setup *New In Box*?

    Ha! I wish. No progress. I got sidetracked by real life circumstances but just put a *small* order in yesterday to add a Shirron Plate Chiller to my brewing setup as of now... Absolutely ZERO progress on my home AG New Rig, but I got my eyes open here in the classifieds and craigslists all...
