After a long hiatus from brewing, I've jumped back into it and want to change some things around. I want to sell my control panel so I can build a new one. I built this one myself and it always worked great for me; just used it yesterday and it worked great. I'm not quite sure what to sell it...

So I made myself a nice control panel for my 240v biab system. After running my first batch, I discovered the manual mode of the auber 2352 doesn't work that well since it only provides the time proportional firing mode (50% is 5 secs on in a 10 sec cycle). Auber's SSVR would do the trick if I...

Hey guys, selling a camco 02962 250v 5500w ultra low density ripple heating element. Just google it for a picture, it's brand new and never used. I ordered it for a side project then realized it did not fit (too long for my small pot). $15.00 firm plus actual shipping (probably flat rate box)

So I have some line cleaning equipment for sale....basically everything you will need to start up a business. I had a few clients but it didn't go so well given the local laws (or lack of) and distributors offering the "service" for free. Anyway, there are a lot of states that require weekly or...

I've been having problems with my 2352 overshooting since I started using it about 10 brews ago. I've auto tuned it several times but it still continues to overshoot. I have a 15gal biab setup with 5500 watt element and recirculation pump. As soon as I get home, I'll post the p, I, & d values...

So I thought I would start s thread to help out newer brewers. As I look back to my first brew, I wish I knew some of the things I know now. Post one or two tips/tricks/lessons learned to save someone some time, frustration, and lost beer. My post will be keep track of your water quanities...

So fermentation went well, added wine conditioner and carmel extract then started to bottle...I forgot to add priming sugar! I only filed one bottle so no big deal...added 4 ounces of sugar (4gal cider) and all of the sudden, it was like a volcano project in high school. The cider started to...

I'm selling all of my all-grain stuff because I'm moving to a much smaller place and won't have any room for the stuff. I've had this stuff for a little over a year and have gotten many good brews out of it :tank:. It is almost a complete system, all you will need is a power supply ,240v, and a...

So I got this idea the other day that I wanted to brew up a carmel apple ale using, that's right, carmel and apples. I am going to do a small test batch to try and figure out a recipe for a larger brew. I've done a little looking around and have come up short on using caramel as a fermentable...

I just decided to upgrade my system to 240v and realized it is going to be much more work then I thought. I have looked through several builds and cant find anything that will really work. I was using a Johnson A-419 for my HERMS but I think I want to go to a PID (seems a lot simpler) I have...

So I just got my three keg AG setup finished and I did a dry run (just water) to test everything. Once I got to draining the boil kettle I noticed that about a gallon or two of water was still in the BK. I'll put up a picture in a few of the hardware but how is this supposed to work?

So I went to my lhbs today to get together all of the grains for a stout recipe and it called for wyeast 1056 or the 1272....the american ale yeasts. The lhbs didnt have either. I asked for a similar strain and they recommended WLP090 San Diego Super. Any opinions?

Hey all, so I have decided on setting up a HERMS and am about to start construction. I am still battling with a few ideas though. I took my old imersion chiller and converted it into the coil for the HERMS. It is 5/8 OD copper which I put some compression fittings on and will have camlocks on...

So I am about to get my system up and running and my last purchase is a pump. My question is what do all of you use to connect tubing to the pump and fittings? I am using cam locks so I would like the tubing to be attached fairly permanently. There has to be a better way than hose barbs

Looking for a march 809 plastic or stainless preferably not the model with the center inlet. Wiring is not a problem as long as it is 110v I need a pump to complete my setup and would like to save a few $$ Also looking for a 1/2 mpt thermometer, johnson a419, and heating element

So I am upgrading equipment and just ran into a few kegs. I am going to convert one them into a keggle HLT and MLT. I have a habit of going all or nothing so I think I am going to try and get a HERMS setup going too. My question is can I use my copper IWC and the HERMS coil and save a few bucks...

I have a complete scuba diving set that I have been holding onto for a few years that I can no longer use (because of an injury) and was wondering if any fellow brewers out there would be interested. I dont have the specifics yet but the equipment totals around $1000 and would like to trade for...

Hey all, I just cracked open a bottle of Magic Hats Ourtoberfest and it is really good. I actually like it better than Sam Adams version. Has anyone out there tasted it?

Ive seen a lot of peoples DIY MLTs using the braided hose and Ive also seen a lot of torn up hoses from stiring...any input on these hoses vs false bottoms? where to buy them ext or do the steel hoses work fine for you guys?

Hey all. So I was bored this weekend and decided to make a HLT. I spent just around $30 including the cooler. My supplies are as follows: 5g cooler ~22 pvc ball valve ~3 rubber packing material (to make o-rings) ~1 .5"x1.5" MPT brass fitting ~2 1"-.5" washers ~0.50 .5" conduit locknuts...
