I'm selling my complete all grain system, the whole thing! Even items not in the picture are included. Asking $750, I will NOT piece it out unless I can't sell it for a while. I've brewed some really good beer on this system, she make not look like much but she's got it where it counts. I'm in...

I'm wondering what software other clubs use to track their memberships? When I took over as membership coordinator for my club I was given a decade old Access database that worked but had been modified by many different people and it had gotten to the point that to get from A to B involved a...

So I have a 7 cu ft keezer with collar and temp controller that decided to die on me after I let it sit unplugged for several months, I'm assuming it's a Freon leak. I was thinking about using it as a fermentation chamber and using Ice or freezer packs to control the temperature. I have a...

Does the HLT in a HERMS system require that the water be stirred or whirlpooled or whatever to keep the heat transfer going? I've seen systems that have a motorized stirrer but I'm wondering if that's just to increase efficiency or if it is needed.

I'm just getting into Soda, haven't decided if I'm going with carbonated water and syrup in a pump for each glass or just mix a keg at a time of soda. How long does a keg of carbonated water last before mold becomes a problem? Are there any additives I could use besides ethanol to extend the...

Another love controller build. Here are the details. Goal: Temperature controller for a kegerator chest freezer. Must look half decent and be pretty simple. Build time: 1 hour Key parts: Love controller, Project box, standard wall outlet with cover, extension cord with male end. I used a...

The mead is ready its just a simple 14lb honey and water recipe that has fermented out to about 1.00 and its been fermenting since April and it is pretty smooth. So now I guess I am supposed to add the Potasium Sorbate to slow down the yeast. I want to add a bit more honey to give it a sweeter...

So I want to get organized because this is like the third time now that I have a beer in a keg and I don't know what it is(shows the quality of the beer). I was thinking of spray painting a ring around each keg using different colors and then getting a dry erase board and keep all the info...

I'm making Pastor's Honey golden ale this weekend but I have lots of grain and want to make an AG version of this. The recipe is 61.5 4.00 lbs. Briess DME- Gold America 1.04600 8 7.7 0.50 lbs. Crystal 20L America 1.03500 20 15.4 1.00 lbs. Clover Honey Generic 1.03500 0 15.4 1.00 lbs. Clover...

I'm looking for a dual primary Co2 Regulators. ( 1 tank, 2 pressures) Does anyone know of another brand that sells a dual primary regulator setup that has a nice handle on them for easy turning besides Micromatic? Every store I have checked is out of stock on the Micromatic ones...

This may have been done before but I haven't seen it. I make a good IPA thanks to some recipes found on this board. However I have never been able to match the hop aroma of some of the commercial IPA's I love so much. My DIY solution is to run the beer through hops in the tap, its really...

So I brewed a big beer and used a big starter and an airlock. That was a mistake, the entire lid blew off my fermenting bucket and made a sound that scared the heck out of my wife and myself. It spewed wort all over the inside of the keezer I use to ferment in. So I sat the lid back on but...

FiveThirtyEight.com: Politics Done Right: BREAKING: Beer No Longer Recession-Proof Any beer store owners or pro brewers on here noticing this trend? I guess it isn't far fetched to think during a recession people would drink more cheap beer and not splurge for the better stuff. Or in most...

I made a stone IPA clone and I have had it in the keg for way to long, I think its been almost 3 months now. My tastes changed for a while so I put the IPA in storage mode (took it off tap). The hops aroma is mostly gone now and I'm wondering if dry hopping with fresh hops would bring that...

I have made some great beers but something that I seem to have a problem with is getting a very low final gravity. The best beers I make are recipes that have a final gravity of 1.015 or higher. It seems whenever I try to make something with a very low fg, 1.010 or lower I fail. I can control...

Recently some of us from the Maryland area did a Bulk grain buy and it turned out really well. We got a good number of people to order and everything went pretty smooth. There was a spreadsheet we used that I think was originally the Atlanta groups. Well I have been bored at work so I took...

So I have a lager going that I pitched about 4 days ago. I made a big starter using lots of o2 and a stir plate. LOTS of o2. I would have been scared to light a match in the room it was in, but anyways that's not why I'm posting. Except to say I'm pretty sure I proved you can't kill yeast...

So I'm thinking of getting my dad a 20# bottle of co2 and a corny keg because sparkling water (unflavored) is what he drinks instead of just water. I know beer in kegs will last a long time because of the alcohol and stuff. How long will a keg of tap water (well water actually) last if its...

Anyone have a decent clone or just something that is similar to their Winter lager? My wife really likes it and she's not a big beer fan, I like it to. It doesn't have to be exact I'm just looking for an All-grain similarly styled lager recipe. Thanks

I'm just getting into bulk buying. I make enough batches that a bag of base grain will last me 4-6 months. My question is should I get Rahr 2-row or Marris Otter? Both are used in many recipes and from what I have read they are "interchangable" but which would be better to have on hand...
