A friend of mine asked about racking some commercial gallons into smaller bottles. I told her that it could be done but wanted to know why. She said her mother liked a particular chianti and bought a bunch of gallons but doesn't drink it all that fast and was worried about how long it would...

Anyone know if there are any companies that make a stainless auto-siphon and racking cane?

Looking for some advice on partial mash brew I'm working on for tomorrow night. I want an english pale ale and was searching for easy recipes and found a Maris Otter SMaSH with Kent Goldings. Sounded good to me so I thought I would give something similar a go (not a SMaSH). Here's what I was...

So I did something very stupid. I had heard of people dry hopping in the keg when they ran out of time and didn't get to do a secondary. So I thought what the hell and went for it. Two weeks later, I went to pour and, pfzzzzth. A little foam and then nothing with the tube full of hops...

I know there's a lot of threads on here about how to program this bugger but I figure part of programming it is understanding the "manual" (yeah the manual sucks) and how parameters are set up. So, I figured a thread with all the information in one place would be helpful. So I will start and...

So I have this thing wired up and ready to enclose in a box the same as this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/another-tss2-controller-box-build-195713/ which is in agreement with the Dwyer diagram posted by this user...

So upon seeing other TSS2 temp switch builds I decided I want to build one. So I went, bought a freezer and placed it in the garage. I'm now looking at the TSS2-2100 love controls switch. Problem I'm having is that I need it to heat in the winter and cool in the summer, which it can do but...

Didnt have time for a full mash today but had to get the beer fermenting if its to be ready by the time I neef it, so I bought an IPA kit. In it cam 1/2 ounce Millenium hops. Opened the package and the damn stuff smells like bubble gum to me! Anyone else have this experience with millenium hops?

After seeing several threads like this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/upright-freezer-turned-fermentation-chamber-197161/ I picked up an upright 20 cu freezer on craigslist to convert to a heating/cooling fermentation chamber. I decided on the 20 cu upright so I could eventually fit the...

I have one cleaning bucket and it is stained yellow with iodine. I want to use ammonia to get the labels off from my bottles and clean the crud out of the bottom as I have a few bottles that none of the following will remove: water jet fixture, bottle brush, bleach soaking, oxiclean soaking...

I brewed 10 gallons of stout today. I racked the wort to two buckets and brought them inside. I pitched in one bucket and set it aside...call it age, call it stupidity, absentmindedness or whatever. Somehow when I opened the bucket I saw what looked like yeast floating. Stopped for a second...

So I brewed up a porter yesterday. It calls for 1 lb of malto dextrine at 60 minutes. I forgot all about it. Can I just boil up a lb of this stuff and add it to the secondary to get the same effect or is it to late?

Getting ready to boil. Preboil OG should have been 1.050 but mine was 1.03. Couple of questions. I used about 13 gallons figuring for about close to 2.5-3 gallons lost to the grain and to the boil. Right now the kettle looks like it has about 12 gallons in it. Would this account for the bad...

I've been wanting to do a wheat beer for a while. I watched the basic brewing guys video and thought, wow that's a lot of work I'm not ready for. So I thought I would start simple with something else I've been wanting to do. A light SMaSH. Here it is. Ingredients 18 lbs 2-row 6 oz cascade 1...

10 gallons (half everything here for 5 gallons) 2 lb of carafa II grains (I guess those are black patent malt without the husk) 6.6 lbs of light malt extract 6.6 lbs of dark malt extract 1 lb of DME 1 lb of maltodextrin 8 oz of crushed cocoa beans 4 oz of Northern Brewer hops 2 oz of Tettnanger...

So I've posted here before about my keggle welds not being quite right. The couples don't go all the way through and have no threads on the inside and had to run a tap from the inside to make threads. No dice. They still leak and I can't get a good syphon. I don't really have a diagram so I...

Tried my first american wheat today. I just grabbed the northern brewer recipe b/c it was simple and didn't call for a fly sparge...no recirc here yet. My efficiency was somewhere near 50% and I think I may have figured out at least part of the problem. My bigger issue is color. This thing...

Long story short I want to do this. Ill see if I can draw a pic up in paint or something...Will it work? 5/8" ref coil 2 X 1/2" 90 degree elbow fittings (one at each end of the coil) 2 X vertical straight sections of 1/2" pipe (one in each 1/2" elbow) 2 X 1/2" 90 degree elbow fittings...

For those of you that missed my thread, two links for reference... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/help-welder-didnt-do-what-i-wanted-103809/ https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/possible-solution-my-welding-problem-107638/ So I ground down the inside lip of the opening in one of my keggles...
