My brew system is a Ruby Street Fusion 15, with 15 gallon boil kettle and a plater chiller. The setup comes with a Hop Spider similar to this one https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072Q1G91R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I used 2 Hop Spiders to split up the hops but my...

Wanted to share my fermentation setup as I think it is working really well and makes fermenting, pressure transfer and even carbonating in the fermenter very easy. Some day I need to add up what everything costed but I figure it is a lot cheaper then a couple of conicals and glycol. I have two...

I use two 1/4 Barrel Slim Kegs to ferment 10 gallon batches. I’ve added a collar to my mini fridge which allows me to fit the two kegmentors. Maintaining fermentation temps is not a problem but during the summer I can’t cold crash. I was wondering if anyone knew of a Kegerator or Medium size...

My niece turns 21 in March and asked if I could make some wine for her birthday. In November I started a Muscat wine kit. I’m also a home brewer and keg my beer. In the past, I’ve produced Sparkling Wine and Sparkling Beer using the Methode Champenoise. I’ve also force carbonated wine for...

I’m not sure if all Bayou Classic brew pots have this but my 15 gallon pot has a lip about 2” below the top of the kettle. If I’m doing a double batch I like to have 11 gallons final volume to split between my two fermenters. With boil off, hops, losses, etc. this means my starting boil volume...

December 2016 I started brewing traditional Lambic Recipes and putting the wort in disposable aluminum pans on my table in the back yard to capture yeast and bacteria over night. I would brew one or two batches in the winter and spring. Mostly, these beers were ignored. I had them sitting in...

The Title pretty much sums it up. Seems like we need a thread to show off our mobile keg dispensing. Just like brewing beer there are many different ways to take a keg to a party, the lake, beer festival etc. Here is my mini keg setup. I had the Coleman Cooler and realized my 1.5 gallon...

So I’m looking into buying the kegtron monitoring system. I just figured out my old ipad is too old so I’m trying to figure out the cheapest way to have a continuous display at my keezer. The kegtron app works on iPad mini 2 and later Android devices with OS 6 and above and Bluetooth 4.0...

So my wife does not like beer. I have successfully made a pomegranate/ Apple cider she likes. We were eating breakfast at First Watch and they offered a pear/apple chai cider (non alcoholic) She requested an alcoholic version and somehow I succeeded on my first try. we have gone through 2...

So my wife does not like beer. I’ve tried fresh pressed ciders etc. etc. and she never really liked them. I think the key is she likes something a little sweet and lightly carbonated. Once I started kegging I developed this recipe and she has been happy with the results. It is a favorite among...

https://jesterkingbrewery.com/current-blog/homebrew-recipes Awhile back JK posted some Homebrew recipes of some of their beers. I’m not sure JK makes anything I don’t like but Noble King has always been one of my favorites. I took bottle dregs from one bottle of Noble King and stepped it up...

I like brewing split batches. Most of the time I’m splitting the wort and using different yeast. Maybe adding candi syrup to one to up the ABV. Today I was brewing a Scottish Export and noticed that the BJCP style guide noted that the Export is similar to a Wee Heavy just lower in ABV. I got...

So my local wine making store closed and I’m in need of some advice. I made a wine from Sangiovese and Syrah grapes I picked from a local vineyard last year. Added Campden Tablets before fermentation and then added 1 campden tablet per gallon when I racked the wine on August 5, 2018 for long...

So I have a recipe for an Golden Rye ale. Last time I brewed it, I split the batch and fermented 2.5 gallons with M29 French Saison dry yeast. I put this beer in a Party Pig which requires adding bottling sugar to carbonate. This beer turned out fantastic. Great Table Saison with complexity...

Figured I would post my setup since it is a little different from what I have seen on HBT. In the laundry room we have a side by side fridge which we call the sin fridge. It is usually full of beer, wine and soda. I wanted to start kegging. I usually brew small batches in the 2.5 to 3...

So I have a few mixed fermentation beers ageing. Last week I decided to sample all of them to see how they tasted and check on Brett character, sourness etc. I used a glass wine thief and rinsed and sanitized between each sampling. One of my beers was a cool ship beer that was fermenting...

So I had a solid Cream Ale recipe that was bittered with Cluster and had a late addition of Cluster. Nice beer and right around 5% ABV. Wanted to make a Session IPA and thought the grain bill from my Cream Ale would be perfect. I upped the Bittereing addition of Cluster and then used whole...

So I'm working on the logistics of fitting a 14" ripple element into a 12" diameter kettle. This is an existing kettle so please don't tell me to buy a bigger kettle. I currently have two 1650 watt (120V) elements from Brew Hardware...

New to electric brewing. Do I need to be concerned about putting my copper immersion chiller in the boil kettle for the last 10 minutes of the boil to sanitize it. It will be resting on the electric elements Can that be a problem for the element or copper chiller?

So I'm looking into the options of putting together a eBIAB system. Looking to have the ability to recirculate during the mash. I'm not interested in building a panel and I don't need too much automation. While googling for temperature controllers I found this on Amazon...
