I'm doing a big ass Hoppy Valley Double IPA again soon. Last time I had a lot of sugar left in my mash tun. I'm thinking this time I would like to use some of that. Eventually I'd like to work it out so I can run the recipe as a grain-only partigyle, but I need to inch into it, as I'll...

I loved that beer and would like to make it.

I wrote it up here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-latest-kegorator-build-162469/ not sure if I posted in wrong place or not, but pics and detail there.

I lucked into finding a great fridge. It's essentially a single exterior door and has a dorm-fridge style freezer section inside, so it's just an insulated box with coils on the back. It is light, and once emptied out it held five cornies. Because it's a fridge, I won't need temp controllers...

A friend of mine is making hand blown glass tap handles. She can take size and color requests, or provide images of what she has already made.

I moved north from North Carolina. In NC I had freezers (both standup and chest freezers) in an un-insulated garage and had two-stage controllers with a heat lamp inside, so if it got real cold, the heat lamp kept the kegs (in the chest freezer) from freezing or the carboys (in the standups)...

does anyone do anything besides rehydrate the yeast with pitching-temp sterilized water?

Anyone who's using the RV hose or medical grade vinyl sanitary hoses you can buy at Lowe's or Home Depot, do you get any vinyl or hose flavor from it? Is it designed to be flavor free? Is any hose besides silicon flavor free?

A buddy with a pub would like to set up a jockey box. Looks like it's just dispensing parts, bulkheading through a cooler, and running through SS tubing. Any idea if rolling that tubing is doable DIY style? Anyone done another jockeybox somehow at home?

I got the plate filter with the round pads, uses two at once, and ran it. I filled it with starsan, it had 2 medium pads on it, and then I pushed out the starsan with beer until it looked like yellow beer. I filled a sanitized keg, but it took about 1.5 hours. I hadn't carbonated the keg...

I have this snippet stuck in my head of someone on a podcast talking about using some kind of asian rice in a saison that added a slight flavor they liked with it. That little tidbit has been making me nuts. Does anyone remember it more clearly? I am sure it must be a brewing network show...

Scored 33 my grains, hops, and yeast came from AustinHomeBrew Recipe started a while back based on the brewing classic styles My water is somewhat hard, very slightly acidic, some iron. 6.0 # Munich 4.5 # Pilsner (german 2-row) 6 oz crystal 40 6 oz chocolate malt 4 oz black barley (500...

scored 43.5 my grains, hops, and yeast came from AustinHomeBrew Recipe started a while back based on the brewing classic styles My water is 2:1 distilled to well water (I live in the country) which creates close to the pilsen profile. 11# german 2-row pilsner about 12 ounces of dextrine malt...

what have you guys done? I have a stone, pump, and hepa, would like to run it into something while flowing wort out of cfc, so it aerates in the tubing on the way to the carboy. Anyone built something like that?

I've never looked really closely at my spent grains (amazingly), but I did this last batch. I had little white blobs of what looked like oatmeal, just kind of mushy starchy stuff. It was starch-negative to iodine, along with the surrounding fluid, but if I smashed it up a bit, I got a heavy...

anyone used the drainings from the mash tun (3.5 plato) as hummingbird food?

Okay, my weldless fittings use a stainless coupler on the inside to receive a nipple from the outside (connected to the spigot). The coupler is pretty long. I'd like to put on a few more spigots, but will want to have some elbowed copper pipes on the inside to make a whirlpool setup...

So I had this idea and made a simple device to use my QDs to hook up a pump and run a whirlpool: Now, it does work. It actually works pretty darn well, BUT, it needs some modification. 1) getting the flow started up over the side is a pain. If you can move your hose full of fluid over...

has anyone used more than one type on keggles? Get any feel for the efficiency of different types, or their speed? I've got the basic turkey-fryer burners and they take a looooong time to boil, and I think I'm pissing through propane at a ridiculous rate. I'm working to electrify, so the...

okay, I ferment out, then I keg, then I cold condition. I have a new plate filter on it's way, courtesy of my biggest fan (my brother), but I am curious if folks are doing their cold conditioning before or after filtration? or do you keg, cold condition for a few days to settle things (less...
