I am thinking of getting out of brewing due to time constraints. I am putting some stuff up for sale, not really in a rush to sell. The kettle is less than 6 months old. Looking to sell locally right now. Price next to item is what I am asking. 16gal Bayou classic kettle with temp and...

I was gifted two Firestone kegs and wondering if anyone know where I can get replacement parts or are they interchangeable with current Corney kegs. I realize that Corney and Firestone are just name brands and I have test fit a corny lid on a Firestone, but will it work correctly in the long...

I am looking for the name of something so I can search for more information and see if it will Work for me. I see photos of folks doing electric brewing, their kettles are sitting on what looks like a hot plate on steroids. Usually a digital panel in the front. I am assuming this is a heat...

I am going on my yearly guys trip to the mountains to chill in a cabin for a few days. Trip is Feb6. I have got a Scottish wee heavy and a Citra iPA (5gal each). I have just put them in to carb in my keezer. Same pressure I normally carb at 13psi. My intention is to leave them carbing for...

I am going with general as this could cover any number of topics. I also realize that there could be a number of reasons for my issue. I am looking for best guess So, I did my first BIAB about a month ago and then 2 weeks later I did the same exact recipe with all the same grain/hops/ from the...

I am not worried or anything of the sort. I am just looking for the name for something I saw in my new wort yesterday. I brewed a Citra IPA (BIAB). Once the temp dropped to 90 I transferred to primary and then took to my basement to continue to cool so I could pitch. After a few hours I...

I just got distracted while I started to keg and left about an inch of starsan, water not foam, in the bottom of my keg. I know starsan is safe, but what will the additional water with starsan in it do at that amount maybe more?

I have been looking at plans for the hop spider and wondering if it would work in my 16 gallon kettle when doing 5 gallon batches? not sure the 5 gallon paint strainer would be low enough in the kettle, all plans seem to rest on the top lip and I have seen none that are lower in the kettle...

So I looked, but not asking right was to find my answer. I am going the BIAB method and have a favorite recipe that I use. When doing extract it called for 7 lb of DME-light. How do I determine what sort of grain DME - light is that I need to convert the recipe, I have the conversion chart...

So I was doing a gravity check on a beer I have in the primary. Its only been there about 4.5 days. As I was not seeing any action I wanted to see if Gravity had changed (it did). Anyway, I tasted the sample I drew and it had a fizzy almost carbonated taste to it. Is that just the yeast...

Just a quick question in regards to fermentation. I built a Dark Choc Porter over the weekend (Sunday). I have never done a thicker beer like this or used the WLP013 London Ale yest and wondering I how this yeast works. I see activity but it just seems very slow and producing now krusen. I...

So I got clearance from my handler to buy a new brew kettle for xmas and I have decide to go with the Bayou Classic Stainless Stockpot with Spigot - 16 gallon. Mostly for the price point. My question is about the spigot and the connection on the inside. I want to get a Bazooka Kettle Screen...

I am still an extract/partial grain brewer and my question is surrounding the grain steeping portion of it. Some recipes I see say to add grain and steep for 20 minutes or until water reaches 170 degrees. Others say to get the water to 150-170 then add the grain and steep for 20/30 minutes...

So I make a very simple session ale and have always used 6.6 lbs of LME. I have always hit my OG of 1.044 in the last 25 gallons. This weekend I brewed a batch, but my LBS only had 3.3 lbs of light pilsen lme, so I substituted 3 lbs with DME. I followed the recipe as normal but this time my...

I did a last hop addition (willamette) at 30 minutes instead of 15. How much will that change my final flavor. Not worried by any means, just curious. Its a NB slobber kit.

So I have this area in my basement that I think would be good for a brew room (picture to follow). It would keep me out of the cold/heat. I am wondering what would be required for ventilation if I were to go use a turkey fryer burner indoors. Or is that just a big No No all together? You...

So I am new to starters and have only made 3. I bought wlp041 but it was just past its expiration ( end of Oct). The brew store it should still be viable and I should just make a starter. I understood before I bought it that it may not be good. Anyway I am wondering if all the cells might...

Anyone have a clone of this one? Stout with cocoa nibs and coffee.

Not sure what this white residue is inside my carboy. Pbw and star san used before fermentation. The carboy with Scottish ale next to it is with these markings.

I did a CITRA IPA the other day that called for 4lb of DME @ 60 minutes and 3 lb late addition. I opted to add it at 30 minutes as it was not specified. So here is the question. When I added the the late addition my kettle seemed to fill up like the DME expanded to tipple its size. It...
