Hi. Here are pictures of what I came up with for mounting a switch to control the March Pump on a Top Tier. I thought others that have the Blichmann Top Tier might want to consider this idea if they are planning on mounting a switch to the stand. This differs from the other pics I've seen...

For what it's worth, I thought I would share this. Last Saturday we brewed 10 gallons of Phat Tyre (Fat Tire Clone). This was an all-grain dealio. I split the wort into two different fermentation vessels. OG was 1.053. I aerated using pure O2. In the first vessel I pitched just...

I just posted some new pics of my 10 tap Keezer project in the "Show us your Kegerator" thread in the kegging/bottling forum. I thought it might give others doing this project a good idea on how to label your taps.

Here is something that I posted on Beersmith. After following up with BYO Magazine, the lady who was helping me returned my call and stated that Jamil Z said it's likely just a difference caused by different brewing software. I was curious what other brewing software rates the total IBU's as...

This article states that I should hook my gas up to my liquid out line while carbonating my beer using "the patient method." This is my first time kegging homebrew and although this makes some sense, I've never heard of doing this (hooking up backwards) and wanted to verify it with some of...

Kenmore Elite White 19.7 cu. ft. Chest Freezer ENERGY STAR® We purchased the above Kenmore chest freezer today and it will be delivered on Saturday. I haven't had the time to do a lot of research, so if anyone happens to know something that I haven't thought of, I would appreciate the...

I searched, but could only find posts talking about converting from all-grain to an extract recipe. I would like to convert this extract recipe to all-grain. 6 lbs. Light Malt Extract 1 lb. Dark Dry Malt Extract 3/4 lb. British Crystal malt (I believe I used American Crystal...

I searched this site for quite a while and didn't find my answer, so I'll ask. I've got all the equipment (finally) for my first all-grain and now I'm planning out my first brew day. I know that I need to figure my cooler dead-space. Can I just pour five gallons of water in my cooler...

Hi. I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer to my question. I have a 20-gallon Blichmann kettle and a 50ft. copper immersion chiller that I ordered from Northern Brewer (pics attached) and I noticed that the threaded fittings come close to extending over the edge of the brew...

Really, Really, Really Great Moments in History.

I am in no way associated with this magazine (other than I love reading it). I thought I would pass on a link to all of you in case you wanted to subscribe. For those in the NW, this magazine is available for free at select locations. In each issue they have a "Beyond the NW" section with a...

This place recently opened in the Cascade Mountain Range (Oakridge, Oregon). I'm heading there tonight to check it out. All beers are cask conditioned. Link: Brewers Union Local 180 I guess this is what women feel like before they head out on a shopping trip eh?

It's not that big. Brewhan: No, not that. The bush, is biggest you ever seen, right? Sorry, just a little excited over my new equipment.

Our first 5 gallons of Apfelwein fermented out to just below 1.000 and tasted great etc. This batch was only in the fermenter 4 weeks. Our second batch (10 gallons) was bottled last night after 6 weeks of fermentation. We bottled the first 5 gallons carboy still and the second carboy was...

http://www.tienda.com/wine/products/wn-23.html The link above will take you to a picture of a cool three-sided bottle of Sangria that my friend buys. She gave me a bunch of the empty bottles because I thought I might be able to bottle our Apfelwein in them. Basically, it's a screw-top...

Hi. We were going to enter an outstanding brew in the County Fair and saved two 22oz. bottles for the entry. Subsequently, we found out that you must enter three bottles of brew (any size from 10oz. and 22oz.). My question is, will it negatively affect the beer if we pop the caps...

I have been so impressed with the assistance provided by members of this site, that I just signed-up myself! Dan

I am going to purchase some brewing software for AG and I plan on batch sparging. I went through the "Product Reviews" thread and didn't find enough reviews to point me towards any particular software. I am requesting some feedback on what software you use and why you like it the best...

Hi. I want to use my family crest as a homebrew label. Where is says Potts at the top, I want it to say: Potts Brewing Company (using the same font). I have no idea how to do this or what program to use. I have Adobe Elements on my computer and MS Paint. Any help would be appreciated.
