I purchased this lot of items from someone who demolished an old bar. I only needed a couple of the couplers and the regulator. I also may build a jockey box for my wedding next year. But I'd like to clean up anything else and sell it for a good price. What's a fair rate for each of these...

@BrewnWKopperKat That's a good idea. I've been toying with the idea of making a small wood wedge out of scraps, so that I can shim my carboy as needed. @KeizerBrewr Thanks! Nice to meet you! We get that fine PNW water =)

I am a 5 gallon (finished beer) brewer who is also a cheapo, so when it comes time to bottling or kegging, I often sucked up a little too much trub in an effort to "get all the beer." But after too much yeasty brew, I've begun to be an adult and leave the trub behind. So I recently made the...

Not to resurrect an old thread, but seeing as how nobody ever replied to you AND I'm trying to be more active here... I was also searching for such a chart this morning. I found one from Briess (from 2015) that is a listed-out chart of grains, check page 2. And I also found a Briess document...

Hi everyone! I hope all the Americans out there had a safe and fun 4th of July. I went camping over the long weekend in south/central Washington, and brought back two gallons of water from a spring on the mountainside (pictured is my fiancée gathering said water). Is there a homebrewer amongst...

Thanks Yooper- I didn't know those were max numbers on the EZ Calc. I'll probably only add the 1.5 tsp of gypsum then. Hope your IPA brew day went well!

I've found two documents that may be of help, although we may need a water chemist to explain what all this means :drunk: One of the documents states that Bull Run Water (some of Portland, OR and it's suburbs) is as follows: Everything is mg/L (parts per million)...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll go with 1.5 tsp. I also want to try the vial!

Actually I love IPA- but I've only brewed one. It came out great! I listened to the IPA Experiments podcast from Nov 7. Here's a summation: They set up an experiment with 5 bottled beers, each had a different level of gypsum added at bottling (no gypsum was added during boil). They had people...

Seems like two votes for "try it" and one vote for "beer is fine without it." So I think I'll pick some up on the way home tonight either way. If I read more, I may add some in. If I don't, I'll test the theory by bottling a 12'er with gypsum and bottle a 12'er without. Then I'll taste both side...

For the first time ever, I brewed a recipe that called for gypsum. I've brewed lots of partial batches and never heard of the stuff- probably because I've only done one IPA. I checked our water and we do indeed have soft water, which is funny because I live in Portland the IPA capital of the...

I never brew alone! I usually have at least one friend, or my little sister, and our way to pass the time is "Shooting the Sh*t!" Sometimes we'll put on a movie but most of the time we're talking and cleaning. My place is always the gathering spot so it's easy to find labor. We had a gathering...

So I'm at the Dollar store, and see "instant grape soda." They're individual packets you dump in a glass of water to make instant grape drink. Stuff tastes crazy strong- like condensed childhood. They had orange, grape, etc. Gets me to thinking, "what are the yeast killers in the world?" In...

I trained for a ultra-marathon last year (30 miles on my 30th birthday) and I researched that Tart Cherry juice is an excellent anti-inflammatory. I bought mine at GNC and mixed it with water to have on my long runs. It's just how the Vikings like their women: strong and cheap...

Great you found a choice! Let us know how it comes out. Do you plan on adding adjuncts?

You could use a Breville Juicer and purchase cheap apples at restaurant supply stores like Cash N Carry or local producer-to-restaurant suppliers who have "dock" sales where the average Joe can still purchase their products. Example prices at Rinella Produce, Portland, OR: FUJI APPLES 125...

Please provide your feedback & suggestions. I plan to brew March 31st, yes the last day for a Marzen. Steven’s Northwest "Hacker Pschorr Oktoberfest " Clone ----------------------------------------------------- Category European Amber Lager Subcategory Oktoberfest/Märzen Recipe Type...
