My 12 year old laptop finally gave up the ghost, and I bought a chromebook. I didn't really give it any thought about being able to use Bru'n Water, and I should have. The chromebook arrives today, and I wanted to know if any of you are able to use Martin's product on a chromebook. Also, a...

posted this over in equipment, but I am pushed for time. Boiling now, and was sanitizing my 60L Speidel. The gasket seems like it stretched/grew. There is no way it fits in what I think is the right groove. Is the inner groove where it goes? Thanks!

getting towards the end of my boil, and went to wash/sanitize the fermenter, and the gasket seems to have stretched? Am I trying to put the gasket in the wrong groove?(inner groove). Any quick help would be great, thanks

I got a recipe from our local HBS, and it looks great, can't wait to brew it this weekend. I have RO water to work with. My issue is this, I have played around with Brewer's Friend water profile calculator to find out what I need to add to my water for the brew day. I used a profile for London...

I have a water filtration setup, with a 1 micron filter, and spare filter. Never used system. Built it, then figured out that my hose bib water is post water softener. $50, and I can ship.

My friend and I are getting back into brewing, and brewed yesterday for the first time on our new system. It was also our first time brewing a 10gallon batch. Mash tun is a 70 quart Coleman cooler, with brew bag. The HLT is a keggle. The brew kettle, a 20 gallon. We decided to keep it...

Hey everyone, just a heads up that Northern Tool has a small electric hoist on sale, for $59. I picked one up, to both lift my fermenter into my freezer, as well as lifting grain bag. It is pretty quick, and quiet. Seems pretty sturdy for its size as well...

Last year, we had a water filtration system installed. They gave us a water report. Below are the numbers. Are these enough to get me going, to adjust my water for brew day? CaC03 Hardness 14 Fe Iron .7ppm Fe (Post Softener) Iron (Post Softener) .1ppm Mn Manganese 0 pH 7.5 TDS...

Hey everyone! Getting back into all grain brewing, after a 7 year hiatus. Unfortunately staring over completely for equipment. I would like to be able to brew up to 10 gallon batches, so thinking of a 20 gallon kettle. I have a line on a keggle for the HLT, and will use a 10 gallon IGLOO...

:mug:I'm heading up to North Country Malt Supply on Fri. I plan on picking up a bag of pale and a one of vienna. They stock six different brands listed below. Any preferences of brands? They will be used for Centennial blonde, Kolsch and a dunkel. Gambrinus, Franco-Belges, Thomas Fawcett...

Here is my dilemma. I called in an order for grain @ my LHBS. I ordered the following grain: 7.25# Pils .5# Carafoam 3.5# Dark Munich .5# American Chocolat(should be .2#) .5# Carafa III(should be .2#) I assumed that they would individually pkg each grain separately. I was going to...

I feel like I just raised the dead. I had what I believe was a stuck fermentation. I analyzed what I did. Cooled wort after boil w/ IC. OG was 1.069 adjusted for temp. Pitched lager yeast @ 70 degrees. Wort Was poured through a screened funnel into carboy, so there was some degree of...

Brewed an all grain Weizen last week.(Bee Cave Weizen). Its been 8 days and fermentation stopped after the third day. EdWort's recipe calls for an F.G. of 1.009. Well, I had a brain fart and I primed my batch before I took a hydrometer reading. The reading was 1.019! To make this...

I work for a company that deals with EPS foam(coffee cup foam). I got the idea to order a 30x30x24 cube with the center cut to slide my keg into. The block is a bit big, I may shave it down and laminate the outsides to keep it from getting banged up. It will have a foam floor and top. The...

Lets hear it, whats your favorite summer beer recipe, for those HOT summer days. I'm a homebrew proby, so I don't have a homebrew recipe faovrite yet, looking for ideas. If I had to run to the store and buy a beer, Harpoons' UFO Weizen is a great thirst quencher, maybe too tasty.:drunk:

My first post, so hello to all in brew land. Saturday was my first all-grain brew. I kind of commited myself by doing a yeast starter Fri night. I woke up Saturday morning, having not yet made my keggle brew pot and igloo cooler MLT. Went to Home Deficiency and Dick's for my supplies...
