Busch light for those hot afternoon and I can drink it all day long without passing out assuming the island is surrounded by salt water. Then any irish red ale cause its my fav.

I crush more on the .037 to .035 side of things which may be too much. Its gonna depend on if your mash tun can handle it or not, thats why most lhbs set higher to reduce complaints on stuck sparging. Finer crush more efficency possible stuck sparges. Course crush less efficiency almost no...

If thats what ya got then thats what ya got. I know some wine makers take glass marbles sanitized then add to the carboy to bring the volume up and reduce headspace.

Where I take my tanks for a refill they simple exchange my empty for a different full tank. I dont have to worry about getting it hydro tested. I would use up the gas and then work on an exchange refill.

Looking for some culture equipment. Pretty much anything let me know.

My stand is built as in the first drawing. 1 up 2 down. I would have done a straight two tier but my garage ceiling would not allow for it. I also don't use a pump. I just use the ground as my final gravity level. I could use a pump but I'm cheap and muscles are cheap. I also do not use a...

I would still bring along a spare 5 lb co2 tank or even just pay the deposits to rent the old keg pump tappers. If the beer stops flowing the party will also. Shop around at liquor stores many have jockey boxes for rent also.. its just me but ive never really had a reason to own a jockey box...

I'm looking for some 5 gallon ball lock kegs in the Denver area. I will be out there during President's weekend. Feb 15 thru 18. My buddy just had a new baby and has been brewing for a while now. I plan to surprise him with a homebrew kegerator since he has been bottling for quite sometime...

I'm having a debat with myself about either a cold room or fermentation chamber for the brewery.. As you can see my kegerator sits in a storage room from the bar.. Somebody gave me a free window ac unit so I have been going back and forth about a fermenation chamber. I have included a pic of...

This actually took place yesterday but entered beer into local county fair homemade beverage judging contest. I had two beers take 3rd place and one beer took Best in Show. I was pretty proud since this was my first competition I have ever entered by beer into... I won a new turkey fryer and...

Gotcha! I see I guess I didn't read about the part that it was going to be full enclosed. Project is looking good.

I have a really really short garage!!! I'm too cheap to buy a pump so I fly sparge into a fermenter bucket then place in boil kettle. I have used the bucket for fermentation with no problems or flavors.. The big thing with buckets is to not scratch them up in the inside. This may be different...

It's bad! Bottle it and send it to me for proper bad batch disposal.. Looks great:mug: Does it seem like it's fermenting again? The yeast may have got a kick of some Oxygen to get them going again. Also, I give you props on a over 2 year fermentation.. I can barely wait 30 days before I'm...

I've moved on to refrigerators from my keezer.. I do like their capacities but lifting in the kegs and fermenters to me did not out way the storage... I was wondering how the fans are going to work.. Doesn't it pull air from the side? This is first I've seen of these..

If you want to go straight into kegging is what you asking... Regulator for the Co2 tank Co2 Tank ( you usally get these from welding shops but it's cheaper if you already have one. Keg connectors for out side or dispensing side should be all black Keg connectors for gas side usually...

I've been back at all grain brewing since moving into our new house. Our cold water seems to be a little warmer then other places that I've brewed. I made an pre immersion chiller that sits in a 5 gallon bucket with solder less fittings that connect to the copper and then a hose fitting with...

Sounds your efficency is off. You can always improve your way of brewing the beer or counter it with additional 10-20% of you grain bill. Your combination of a poor grain crush and a fast sparge. You want to get about 1 hr for your sparge. I calibrate it out in my system right about a 1.5...

the only thing I notice that you are really missing is a wort chiller. By the sounds of that cooler it's a converted mash tun. The most important thing your missing though is a book. The Complete Joy of Homebrewing by Charlie Papazian this will answer a lot of your questions. I seem to read...
