Can anyone tell me why the BCS-462 seems to be no longer be available? I was considering upgrading my panel and now can’t find them anywhere.

I have a gently used Chapman Thermobarrel Mash Tun for sale. 15 gallon model. Used it for like 10 brews. It holds temp extremely well. Only reason I'm selling is because i also got a 20g Spike MT and since I have HERMS I don't really need this sitting around. I will consider offers but...

Hey All. I've been brewing a while now and the past several brews I've been using a herms coil to heat my sparge water and the recirculating. A question I have is after you all mash in how (if at all) do you cool down the HLT for the recirc? I'm concerned since my Sparge water is normally...

Let me start by saying that until now I thought most kettles by and large did about the same thing. Spike Brewing has proved me wrong... I purchased a custom 15 gallon Spike Brew Kettle to replace my current 15g stainless Kettle I bought at my LHBS. I am an all electric brewer (built it all...

Hey All. I am having a hell of a time hitting my numbers using my new setup. All electric BK. I heat strike water in BK then transfer to a 15 gallon Chapman insulated MT. Today I started with 170 F strike water and after pumping to the MT it was at 140. I cross checked temps with manual...

I just finished my ferm chamber build and am trying to program my set points for testing. Anyone have suggested temp and differential settings? I am using a window mount AC for the cooling and a under desk pad heater for heating. Let's assume a 66 f target temp. Any help is greatly...

Hi All, I've been using my electric brewery for about 1.5 years now. Everything was going great. I recently moved and am in process of setting up my new brewery in the basement. I ran 12/3 w/ground from the panel to where my brewery is going to be. This is on a 30 amp double pole GFI...

I just bought a new 10 gallon Rubbermaid Cooler to use as a HLT. Can anyone tell me what weldless bulkhead I should use? I sent an email to brewhardware support but I'm impatient. Thanks, RP

Hey All, Been busy moving but finally getting my brewery all setup again. Hoping to brew either this weekend or next. I tasted a Peanut Butter Stout that I thought was amazing and would like to try and make one batch to bottle and one to keg. Below is a list of my ingredients and would...

I have 5 tap handles to sell. Would prefer to sell them as a lot. The attached picture shows them all except the green dogfish head one is not included. Thinking $150 for the lot. Will listen to offers. Prefer PayPal payment and buyer pays actual shipping cost which shouldn't be much if...

Saddened to hear that last night the bog water brewing company burned, total loss. This is just down the road from me in Westport WA. Horrible loss for the family owned business and the community.

The results of three first year centennial's.... 3 dry ounces... Still excited and looking forward to next year.

Opened up the bucket to add hops and this is what I see. Just looks different than I'm used to. Is this an infection?

I am in about 30 minutes into my mash and I accidentally left the rims temp at 168, so I've been mashing at that temp for about 25 minutes. Just realized it and freaked out. Turned temps down but am afraid I ruined it. Do I need to get new grain and start over? Can't believe I did this. I...

Hi All, Was thinking about brewing tomorrow, I had a grain bill I normally use to make Pliny the Elder but honestly, I'm kind of ready to try some new things and I have 3 empty kegs in my kegerator so I'd like to add some variety. I recently made another Manny's Pale Ale Clone that I came...

Excited to show my new kegerator, almost complete. Got this old thing from my late Grandpa's basement, definitely saw a gem in the rough. Decided a good paint job requires the doors to come off... Gonna need to drink some homebrew to get this hard work done. I'm not a pro but...

So I had an Irish Stout I've had kegged for the past couple months and I found that it wasn't pouring well, if I had to much pressure it was 100% foam, if I didn't have enough it seemed kind of thick. Either way I thought it tasted good and it was the first beer I'd actually kegged so I kept...

Hey All, I currently do all electric BIAB recirc using RIMS. I have a weldless bulkhead that I put in my lid for the recirc during the mash, what is everyone using for a spray type head attached to the inside of the bulkhead. I've found that if I just do a steady stream I end up with...

Hi All, I've got a recipe that calls for 1 Lb of Corn Sugar, I thought I had this on hand but turns out I don't. I do, however, have some DME that I generally use for making yeast starters. Could I use DME instead of the corn sugar? This is an All Grain recipe. Let me know your...

Hi All, I finally collected some pictures and wanted to show you my eBIAB system created with all the great resources from this forum. Special Thanks to P-J for the freely available diagram that I discovered and used to build the panel, to Kal for the freely available information on...
