I just reached out to Carolina Malt House (carolinamalt.com) in NC and they offer base malts at $1.00/lb in 50lb quantities, so basically $50/sack for 2-row, pils, munich, vienna, oats, etc. Their Carolina 2-row sounds like a Golden Promise, so that's a nice cost savings if you are close. I'm...

Looking for feedback on this recipe. It's similar to something I did a few years ago (Double Chocolate Strawberry Cream Stout) which was ok. I'm always worried about too much crystal or roasted malts. 5 gallon batch OG - 1.060 IBU - 28.5 Color - 33 SRM Grain Bill: 7.5# - 2-row (~50% of bill)...

Partnering with Anthony at Carolina Brew Supply again for Charlotte Area's Group Buy #2! The first one was very successful and we want to thank everyone who participated for your support. This time we had to adjust the prices a little to account for the LHBS's shipping costs and taxes...

Does anyone know where I can find those rubber edge guards for the MM hopper? I have the extension as well. Here's what I have:

Hey folks, looking for some advice to narrow the gap I'm getting when using Bru N Water with regards to pH. Yesterday is the latest example of a brew I did where Bru N Water predicted 5.5 and I got 5.3. At least it's predictable as far as reaching my target but it sure would be nice to see it...

Anyone remember this thing? I bought one years ago. I am now in need of some replacement gaskets for it and can't for the life of me remember the sizes it takes. Anyone know? It's supposed to have 4 o-rings on it...2 smaller than the other I believe.

Hey everyone, Just wanted to bounce this off some folks for opinion. I'm lining up a RIS brew in a couple weeks. I've been using BeerSmith since forever, most recently version 3 with the water tab. I've also got the full version of Bru N Water version 5.5. So I use both as well as EZ Water...

Selling my current rig so I can pay for the remaining pieces of my new build. Asking $2500 everything included. Local pickup only because shipping all of this would be a nightmare. I live about 30 minutes south of Charlotte, NC. I'm switching to electric so I won't be needing this setup in the...

Anyone know where to find something like this for a "reasonable price"? I am toying with the idea of getting a few of these for grain storage.

Any clone recipes out there? I've been searching and no luck so far.

Trying my hand at creating a recipe for a chocolate mint stout. What do you guys think of this combo? BeerSmith shows this in range for the style. Just curious about the community thoughts on it. Thanks! 6 gallon batch Grains: - 11 # 2-row - 2 # Melanoidin - 1 # Chocolate Wheat - 1/2 #...

I just got the LaMotte BrewLab water test kit in the mail today and took it for a spin. Wow, what a difference from the water I had in PA. I'm still going to send off a sample to Ward Labs to see how close my results are. Na - 24.3 Ca - 4 Mg - 2.4 Sulfate - 0 Cl - 30 Total Hardness - 20...

Hey there! I didn't see a thread close to me, so thought I'd start one. I'm new to the area, just moved into Clover, SC a year ago which is about 20 minutes southwest of Charlotte, NC. Looking to see if there's anyone in the area. I left all my brew buddies up north lol.

New to the area, looking to buy a couple sacks of grain on the cheap. Are there any groups in the area? I participated in a couple of Philly ones before and they were great! The LHBS prices here for grains are high.

Let me first say that these were the best purchases I made last year. I've really enjoyed my new kettles (Spike Brewing) and brew stand (Patriot Brew Systems). However, there is one annoying thing I'd like to try and resolve without going full automated. I'd like to get there one day, adding...

For the fun of it, decided to get a Brewer's Test (W-5A) done of my water from Ward Laboratories, Inc. I'm wondering if I should do anything to my water prior to brewing to improve in this area. First thought was to attach a filter cartridge to my brew stand. But I'm completely green in this...

Courtesy of Patriot Brew Systems, here's my new single tier brew stand. I did a water test on it last night and it's going to be nice!

I wasn't sure where to post this and apologize if this is the wrong place. I'm looking for some help on this puzzle of mine. I have started posting videos on my YouTube channel again. I record them via my LG G4 smartphone, which has an amazing camera in HD. The videos look great on my...

I've been storing my uncrushed grains in my cool dry basement in food safe us plastics buckets with sealed lids for the past few years without problem. I'm now moving my brew setup to the garage, and would like to store all my equipment, including grain mill out there. Think it's a good idea...
