I'm looking to build a simple electric brewing kettle with the 120v 2250 watt Blichmann Boil Coil. I figured I'd just plug it into the outlet and let it run at full power, but the BoilCoil instructions say a controller is required. I also noticed in one of the install videos on youtube that...

It is with a heavy heart I post this, but Defalco's in Houston is going out of business. Their last day is September 8th, and everything in stock is 20% off. Get there while you can, not only can you get a great deal, but help out the owner one last time. If you're in Houston, head on down.

I searched and searched and didn't see anything posted on how to fix your picnic tap if the handle breaks off. Last night I was pouring myself a glass of beer when, POP, the picnic tap handle snapped off, specifically one of the little tabs on the inside of the handle broke. To fix it, I...

After reading Brulosophy's exbeeriment about using all Vienna or all Munich in a lager, and in my quest to make a lower calorie beer with craft beer flavor, I decided to do a Vienna Saaz SMASH. My family all tease me about how many Vienna Sausages I ate as a small child, though I find them...

My goal with this recipe was a pleasantly sour, refreshing lower alcohol beer with plenty of tart cherry flavor that was easy to make. This is my first sour, and I wanted to keep it as simple and quick as possible. I started with a Berliner Weisse-styled recipe, kettle soured with Swanson’s...

I have two cases of 20 green Grolsch flip top bottles for sale, including the wooden crates I made. I'm asking a dollar a bottle - $20 per case. Local pickup in Houston - Meyerland/NRG stadium area or downtown on a work day. These are great, but I have more than I need.

I know there are other "my first all grain/biab/etc" posts, but this is mine and I thought I'd share it. I have brewed and enjoyed several extract recipes, so I decided to dip my toes in the all-grain pool with BIAB. The nice folks at Defalcos helped me with a blonde ale recipe, and I used a...
