    Spike Solo 20 Gallon Kettle/Basket vs. Brau Supply

    I am looking to upgrade to a 20-gallon Brew-in-Basket setup and believe I have settled with the Blichmann 240V Brew Commander, but they don't offer their BrewEasy Compact in a 20-gallon size. I have been looking at both the 20-gallon kettle/baskets from Spike and Brau Supply and both appear...

    Brewhardware

    I have never had an issue with BrewHardware. First experience was about 6 years ago when I forgot an item (misjudged how many connectors I needed for my keg cleaning) and he was able to add an item to my order without issue. Second was when I ordered Spike parts earlier this month and had an...

    Adventures in Homebrewing (aka Homebrewing.org)

    AIH/Austin Homebrew has messed up 4 out of the last 5 orders the last month whether it having items that went out of stock and not informing my until a week after my order shipped and only via refund (not saying which items actually were pulled from my order), sending me the wrong item, or...

    The heck is the point of this? (Pico Pro)

    I got one of these last week for when I have outdoor parties and don't want to keep going to the kegerator for the garage. Even then, it's cheaper to just fill a growler at your local brewery. I can get a growler as low as eight dollars at Karl Strauss of Fridays. But they offered a deal...

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    Can you have two profiles set up on the machine? I want one for personal brewing and one for making professional recipes if I go down that path.

    Do you just use one red silicone band per hop cage? I saw picobrew use two, but I can't seem to find a place to buy extra

    I received mine last night. Already managed to get the drip tray wedged at a 45 degree angle. And I know this question has been asked before, but other than the above wort chiller, is there any reasonable modifications (no replacing the grain bin with that 120 USD one....I already spent too...

    Making beer with 15 year old extract

    I recall that I bottled my Mr Beer batches in used 2-liter soda bottles.

    Morebeer supply store ?

    More Beer doesn't remove their value shipping every time they have a sale event. I am very, very disappointed in Home Brew Supply for always doing that when they have a sale....it's very deceptive and not at all as a craft organization should act. It's one thing to have have a ship by weight...

    Most annoying response when you tell someone you're a homebrewer?

    You should open your own brewery...in a city of 125+ breweries and breweries shutting down.

    What brewery are you visiting?

    Last week I went to Figueroa Mountain Brewery, Firestone Walker Barrelworks, Firestone Walker, Barrelhouse, Sonoma Springs, and Russian River. This week it's Benchmark, Ballast Point, and Reckless. Not sure about where I will go tomorrow. Maybe Second Chance, but not sure.

    The king is dead, long live the king! Congrats to Bell's Two Hearted

    I am not impressed with either. They are only great because A. they were among the best when they were first released years ago B. more people have had those beers and C. people just rave about them and people assume they are the best never having had them. I personally prefer Golden Road's...

    Morebeer supply store ?

    Or that it's not that Riverside shop with the bridge blocking the entrance.

    Ideas for Gose beer secondary

    So I have two gose beers that have finished primary (one will have cucumber in the secondary) and one I am still deciding. I have a 49 oz can of Vinter's Harvest apricot puree that I have lying around, but I am worried about using it for a sour because I have had peach/apricot young sours...

    So then, you would just add the yeast at the end and not have to split it up, right? I might also try splitting them up on different brew days and use two different yeasts. More expensive, but I get more variety. This will be a quick way to get rid of my collection of recipes I have purchased.

    Colt Bench Capper 29mm capping

    OK. So another retailer said no. I want to bottle 29mm bottles, but all the Agata ones seem to be getting poor durability reviews? Does anyone know of a bench capper that can cap 29mm bottles yet has a quality build?

    Colt Bench Capper 29mm capping

    I have been looking to get the Colt Bench Capper, but was wondering if this would work with the 29mm cap adapter sold for the Red Barron model. Also any feedback on the Colt would be much appreciated...

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    Has anyone bought a 5-gallon all-gran kit from one of the online retailers (where the grains are pre-mixed) and then split the recipe in two for the Zymatic?

    Maybe use an ice bath/wort chiller in addition to that setup.
