I'm getting ready to start 10 gal. BIAB batches. I have heard of using a step ladder with a pulley system to help with lifting the large grain bill. This sounds like it would be nice and portable. I haven't seen very many pics of this type of setup. Does anyone have a good pic of setup...

I'm trying to do a keggle conversion. I got a keg but it does not have the indention tabs to pop off the spring clip. It says sanke keg on it from miller brewing company. The guy I bought it from just ripped out the ball bearing and rubber plug with a spring in the middle to get some of the...

I plan on making my own malt. I was reading that there is winter and spring barley. Would barley be available all year round? I ask because I plan on getting some next week. If I have to stock up, then I will do that.

I have a 7.9 gallon bucket that is great. Absolutely, no worries for blow off when doing 5gallon batches. Actually, I do 5.5 gallons to give me a little room to play with. My LHBS is too expensive. Home Depot only has 5gallon. Any ideas on where to get cheap 7 gallon on up buckets?

Is it possible? I would like to do a Belgian Golden Strong Ale for my 5th brew but looking for the shortest time possible. I have seen some good recipes but can't wait months. Anything out there close to the time frame?

I'm getting ready to do another brew this weekend. My previous one I collected the yeast. I washed it then poured it in a liter bottle with screw top. After I screwed the top on, I shook it up again. Now, my collected yeast looks like the growler in this photo on the right with the dried...

I am on my 3rd brew. This is a Kolsch. I am using white labs WLP029 Kolsch yeast. I did not do a starter. I oxygenated by stirring for 1min. I pitched on Sunday and got fermentation on Tues. It was bubbling away like every 4sec. After that it has slowly started to decrease. Wed. was...

Ok..Another panic thread from a newbie. This is my first Biab and 2nd brew. I did the fizzy yellow beer recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f62/fizzy-yellow-beer-120939/ Today is day 11. The airlock slowed down to like 1 bubble every minute for the past couple of days. I figured I would...

I just finished brewing my first BIAB. Everything went well. I poured the wort into my fermenter bucket with spigot. I needed to ferment it at 62F. So, I tried the swamp cooler idea. I placed the bucket in the water. Put on the airlock. I tested the airlock by pushing on the lid a...

Hi guys. Excellent forum. I've been reading and getting info. for a couple of years and finally took the plunge. I'm just about ready to keg a coopers pilsner. Figured I go with the keg instead of bottling. I went to my local brewers shop and got a keg. What kind of keg is this? I looked...
