I upgraded my brew kettle to the 60L version of the DigiBoil / Brewzilla to do double sized BIAB batches. Lifting the basket after mash out by myself with 50+ pounds of wet grain became a bit tricky due to the height and weight. I thought about using a ratchet pulley mounted to the ceiling...

I’ve noticed what I believe to be beerstone building up inside of my kegs. It has not impacted flavor, so I was ignoring it, but as expected it continued to get worse. I read that beerstone could harbor harmful stuff. I’m not sure of that, but I am sure it just looks nasty so I wanted it gone. I...

I ran a Blue Moon clone with Lallemand Voss Kveik and have been sampling the keg as it carbs up. Happy with the results, I plan to use the yeast slurry I harvested and refrigerated from the first batch in my house ale. Typically when I use harvested yeast I take the mason jar from the...

The cost of exchanging a 20# Co2 tank was only a few dollars more than the 10# tank that fits into my beer fridge, so I purchased a used 20# tank for $25 on CL and a Co2 fill station. Here's the fill station I bought. I've used it a couple of times and it works really well. It comes with...

I've run a few batches with Viking Pale malt and as others have reported, it is much darker than a "standard" 2-row from Briess, GW, Rahr, etc.. Other than the difference in color, I've enjoyed those batches and hit all of my numbers, but has anyone tried the Viking 2-Row Xtra Pale, which has...

https://labelpeelers.com/ Has a good price on dry yeast w/ free shipping. I'm not sure if it is a sale price or their normal prices. I ordered on Sunday afternoon and it is scheduled to be delivered Thursday via USPS. W34/70 for $4.52. US05 for $2.44. Nottingham for $2.93. ~HopSing.

If you're looking for a good deal on great faucets, take a look at the Intertap stainless model at www.ritebrew.com. It's pretty rare to find these under $32 each. No free shipping, but their prices on kegging hardware seems to be the lowest I can find even with the reasonable shipping costs...

Yup. Another convert. Same vessel from beginning to end. Reduced cost and more importantly simplified brew day. I wash 1 kettle once. I'm sold. I forgot to take pictures during my brew day, but here's the setup: BIAB in a stainless strainer basket inside a 10 gallon kettle. After...

While the debate rages on about plastic buckets vs glass carboys vs stainless fermenters, I made the switch to stainless for less than $50 after I had an "event". I've used 6.5 gallon glass carboys for the last 6+ years. I loved how they don't take on flavors or smells a plastic bucket will...

Does anyone wrap their brew kettle with a wet towel after flame out to take advantage of evaporative cooling? Seems like it would work in principle and help the immersion chiller bring down the wort to pitching temp quicker. I'm planning a brew session this weekend and thought of giving it...
