    Need help in Tri-cities, TN area.

    I am traveling visiting a friend in the Tri-Cities area. We are doing a brew day tomorrow before we keep heading North to Virginia. I brought the base malt, my friend has the specialty malts. We are brewing 10 gal of Belgian Strong. I forgot to bring my grain mill and my friend buys his already...

    Aluminum Kettle

    No, I have a 60qt aluminum stock pot for a boil kettle. I drilled a hole for a weldless fitting and had no problem.

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Pirate Ale

    For those of you who like to do it ALL yourself or like to use all natural ingredients I submit this. Alton Brown on his FoodNetwork show "Good Eats" made a coconut cake completely from scratch using whole coconuts. But in the show he made other ingredients with the coconut such as coconut...

    "Sticky-Kegging FAQ's"

    Thought I would add my experience to this sticky. Do not order your keg supplies from The Beverage Factory (www.beveragefactory.com). They completely jacked my order. I recieved an email conformation when my order was placed saying everything was ready to ship. A week later after no...

    Anyone ever use Oregon Fruit Purée to flavor beer?

    I going to make a 10 gal batch of Hefe tomorrow. I am planning on fermenting 5 gal of it with rasberrys for SWMBO. I usually prefer to do fresh, but I thought I would try this canned purée from Oregon Fruit Products just for ease. Has anyone else used it and how did you use it? How much did...

    I think it will work, just drill your holes really small with a lot of them.

    SS Braid or PVC Manifold in MLT?

    I recieved a brand new Barley Crusher for Xmas and used it for the firsr time on the 08-08-08 RIS. I have a 48qt Coleman and SS braid. I loved the crush, but the flow from the SS Braid was twice as slow as it has been with grains crushed by my LHBS. I think that I will be switching to a...

    So, how much (if any) money does brewing save?

    I figured it to out to be about $2-4 for 6-pk Homebrew depending on gravity opposed to $7-9 store bought (excluding race car beer). I don't really care because I love to brew and enjoy my own beer, but it sure helps get the Missus off your back to tell them how much money all this mess around...

    FAQ: Aluminum Pots for Boil Kettles?

    I just drilled a hole in it and used brass fittings bought at Lowe's to do the plumbing. You can buy the bulkhead valve kits for kettle conversion online and at Homebrew stores and they are expensive! I made my own for half that. You don't even need the Hi-Temp Silicon o-rings. I used just...

    FAQ: Aluminum Pots for Boil Kettles?

    I read several threads on this subject several months ago when I was shopping for pots. I was going to make a Keggle until I found this on Ebay for $35. It is a resturant grade 60qt Aluminum stock pot. I love it!
