    For Sale Small Batch Equipment - Very Gently USED -- SFV/SO CAL

    Floaters in fermentor?

    Hey All- I have had a english style pale sitting in primary for over 3 weeks and getting ready to bottle. Opened the lid and saw these floaters. Any issues? Smells like beer so I can only shrug. I messed up taking samples so this is a flying blind beer so to speak. It has been fermenting...

    Fermonster as bottling bucket?

    Heyo- I am a small batch brewer looking for a bottling bucket and was wondering if anyone has used a Fermonster w spigot as a bottling bucket. I would like the dual use of having it also as a backup fermentor.

    Igloo Cooler - Trouble Holding Mash Temp

    I am mashing with around 4 gallons of water to boil down to a little over 3 gallons. Usually have about 2.75 going in the fermentor. I don't think deadspace is a big issue with 4 gallons in a 5 gallon cooler.

    Igloo Cooler - Trouble Holding Mash Temp

    I actually did do this, it seemed ok for about 20-30 mins but after that it started losing a degree every 5 minutes or so. Steady decline.

    Igloo Cooler - Trouble Holding Mash Temp

    Hey All- I am doing small batch MIAB(2.5-3 gallons), and have had trouble holding mash temps in my cooler(link to my cooler below). I had done 5 gallon MIAB batches before in a 10 gallon home depot cooler which held temps great, but this cooler doesn't seem to hold temps very well. Any...

    Grain Mill problem

    Here is the grain I milled and brewed with. Initially I used a cheap black and decker cordless and was not having much luck. I switched to a corded drill and it worked better but I didn’t narrow the mill gap thinking this might be ok. Now I realize it was probably too coarse. I got a hand...

    WD40 on ball valve ok?

    To clarify, I was speaking about NPS threads in my question which you quoted Golddiggie. I understood already that tapered threads needed tape.
