Ok guys and gals. So here is the deal. I have an environmental shaker that I have been using as a HUGE yeast starter/shaker. You can start 12 jars or so with this beast. Variable RPM and heater built in from a cool 70-whatever temp you need. This has become too large for my needs. I am going...

Hello, In the middle of a panel build on 120 volt for my mini brewery. My question lies in where to place a lighted 3 post switch for my elements. The Pid is controlled with a rocker switch and I want a lighted rocker (3 post) for the element to turn it on aside from the PID. Do i place it...

Hey all, First recipe post here. This beer turned out great. Huge hoppy flavor with notes of pine and mild fruit on the front of the tongue. I missed my gravity by 10 points but i'm still dialing in my system. Supposed to hit around 1.078 so it's a bigger beer. SRM @ 13, IBU @ 96, ABV @ 8.6%...

Could a few of you more experienced in efficiency chime in on how my crush looks? Seem to be sticking around 65% on my extracting and would like to bump that figure. Starting with the crush. I believe the gap setting is at .039 on a Barley Crusher.

Hi gals and guys, I have 119 swing top bottles i need to get rid of. They for the most part have good seals and all the bottles are in good shape...although they'll need a rinse. A few have slight rust on the metal holders but nothing serious. They are all a mix of 16oz and 19oz mainly german...

I brewed a porter this last Sunday and pitched one pack of re-hydrated Nottingham for 4.5 gallons. OG was 1.063. Took off quick and seems to be all over with any visible sign of fermentation as of today. (Wednesday). I took a gravity reading and it was 1.032.....should i expect to have it drop...

So my brother and i did a American Wheat/Hefeweizen yesterday. First time dealing with a recipe with so much wheat, the recipe was a 12 lb. grain bill, with 2 pounds of Crystal 40L, 5 pounds of Belgian Wheat, and 5 pounds of US 2 Row. At the brew store, we had double milled the wheat because...

So i opened a bottle of my first beer ever! IPA with Citra hops. It just came into flavor after a week in the bottle.

Hi, First batch here...Primary for 6 days, secondary (i know not doing that anymore) for 3 with dry hops, confirmed fermentation was done. Bottled, primed and now this is the bottles after sitting for a week or so. 65-70 degrees. They were a bit cloudy but now look fairly clear. My concern...

Built a fly sparging device from PEX 1/2" tubing. Water runs from 5 gallon GOTT cooler and works on gravity and valves. Washed the grain on my second batch pretty well (65% efficient). I'm on my second batch and loving home brewing!! Thoughts good or bad on this?
