I'm looking to order a Utah Bio diesel basket but am worried that there might be too much space under the basket, making the mash quite thick above it. I have a spike 15g electric kettle, which i use for 5 gallon BIAB. My thermometer and whirlpool port are a bit high, and would require the...

I just got a new Brew Bag from brewinabag.com to replace an older and I’ve noticed the new one is very stiff, to the point it’s hard to work with. I don’t recall my older one ever being this rigid, so I’m wondering if they are doing something different, or if there is something I can do to make...

I was wondering if anyone has tried converting the brew commander to use a 4 wire 30 amp input. If I understand correct, if done properly you wouldn’t need the 120v plug anymore to power the pump? I have a 14-30 outlet, I currently use an adapter, and I was thinking of rewiring it to be...

I’m testing my new kettle with a 5500w element hooked up to the brewcommander with a water run. It’s heating at about 2 degrees a minute which seems a bit slow. I was expecting a lot faster. It’s set to boil mode at 100% so idk what could be wrong.

My latest attempt at my english mild came out FANTASTIC. This batch was supposed to be just a quick "is everything working" batch after I moved from Ohio to Boston, but it came out great. I used Poland Springs water with modifications since I don't know my current water... Anyways, this started...

Hey, I just moved to mass from ohio and I was looking to do my first brew day this weekend and I noticed that no gas stations sell propane like back home.... Where do people get their tanks and/or filled? I live in the medford area, and am hoping to get some tomorrow (Saturday)

Does anybody have a good water profile for poland springs. On their website they give pretty large ranges, but I can't figure out do I use the average, the high end?

Hey all, I just moved to the Medford MA Area and was gonna brew up a quick batch of my Mild to get my system and everything tuned up... While i know it's an experimental batch, I'd like it to turn out good... Anybody have a general water profile I can use as a base?

I thought it would be fun for people to share their fermentation schedules they use on the STC-1000+... I have 3 that I use from Brulosophy for Ale, Lager and Hybrid... Anybody else want to comment or share?

What do you guys usually do when you don't have room in the keezer but a beer is ready to be kegged? I have open kegs, but I just can't get them on constant CO2 or in the keezer? Should I just put it in a keg and blanket it with CO2? Thoughts?

I've been in the market for a fermentation mini-fridge for a bit, and I have narrowed it down to two fridgidaires that Best Buy carries... The first one, the 4.4 Cu Ft (BFPH44M4LM) I have seen been made into kegerators and it looks like people fit their buckets and carboys in w/ no...

Anybody have any tips for dealing with hop sludge/coldbreak? I have a Blichmann 10 gallon system, and I just can't seem to avoid my first .5-1g being filled with hop sludge/cold break... After that, it is crystal clear until the last .5 i leave behind usually... I do the whirlpool and...

So I was trying to make a ferm chamber out of an Igloo fr464, but after multiple failed attempts at ordering I have concluded they no longer make it with the easily removable freezer... I found this Danby Dar044a1bdd which has no freezer, I saw some people made kegerators out of it, but was...

So, I recently bought a mini-fridge from wally world online that I thought would have a removable freezer... it does not... but I like the fridge in general and would like to keep it and mod it myself to be a ferm chamber... So my options are a) bend the freezer back - would still be a tight...

I have a pretty nailed down variation of Orfy's Mild Mannered Ale (adjusted for my own taste and system)... I had an idea of mixing it up next batch with some rye malt to add a bit of a different flavor... Though I'm not quite sure how much I should add... I do not want to rye to take over, I...

So I have been wanting to make a pumpkin beer for sometime after my absolute failure 4 years ago (it was my only batch that i dumped all 5 gallons). This time I am taking a different approach. My last beer, a brown ale, is my hopeful base. I have a fairly solid recipe, so i made an extra gallon...

Does anybody have any tips, advice, pictures or whatnot about how you go about organizing a 3 faucet tower... Things are so cramped it takes me so long to put things together and take them appart...

So I want to do a Big pumpkin beer sometime in july or early august so it's ready for halloween... One of the biggest complaints I have heard about Pumpkin beers are that they make the process of brewing a huge PITA... If it's in the Mash tun, then it drains crazy slow and is prone to getting...

So recently I got turned onto the great summer drink of the Dark & Stormy... Which if you don't know is Ginger Beer and Dark Rum... Anyways, yesterday as I was drinking a few of them on the porch I thought to myself, hmm, is there anyway that I can leverage these flavors in a beer? So...

Took this picture while brewing an imperial IPA in my Natty Keggle... Thought it was really cool and decided to share... Also, how many of you came into this thread ready to yell about somebody actually like Natural Light?
