Looking for a matching partner or two for my other secondaries ,seeing the benefit of the flexibility especially when having both stouts and sours on tap. Right hand thread only, so I can gang with my existing ones. Looking for unused parts too put them to good use!

So I don't get much time to brew. Have 2 younger and one older boy and a wife that works evenings. Weekends are usually a crap shoot between activities for 5 different people, making brewing a challenge Contemplating doing my mash one night collecting my wort, bringing it up to a boil and...

- 5g Rubbermaid cooler mash tun. Can sub in 3 piece ss ball valve, barb fitting and stainless braid for reasonable extra, make offer, no idea what going rate is aside from the hardware. - 2 weldless thermowells, 6" total length - $13 each - Corona style grain mill, used once. $13 - Camco 5500w...

Brought a few of my beers to a local brewery, bottled off a keg. One was that alien church clone recipe, the other just a very simple mild English bitter. One of the brewer's there felt as though he was getting some measure of dms in both if them. I thought the bitter was pretty good, wasn't...

Just had our 3rd boy, so wife can join the party again. Planning on having people over on the 26th and wife wants the keezer well stocked. Racking my brain for something to brew that I can have ready in reasonable time. Will be all grain, and going in a keg. Never done a saison, but...

Need to punch some holes for a herms coil, weldless thermowells and heating elements. Anyone in the area with the appropriate sized punches for these I could borrow for a fee? Not dropping $100+ on some tools I'll only use once. Bueller?

OK, second attempt at this. Blonde ale, first one was a complete horror show, boil and mash were a nightmare, way undershot mash temp, frozen chiller hose eventually leading to spraying hose water in semi cool wort, etc. That one ended up smelling really sour, and stuck to your tongue like...

Piecing together electric setup, finally settled on Herms to save on a 3rd coil, extra wiring, etc. Looking for a SS Herms coil, weldless bulkhead fittings for compression connections. Also looking to buy preferably a center inlet Chugger with steel pump head. Any misc parts for this as...

Anyone recommend a barrier strip with captive terminals that will accept 6g stranded wire, or maybe even a fuseable one? Getting list on Amazon sorting through the 8 million options, many with limited information. Really only need one fuseable one, but looking to keep the wiring neat without...

Anyone local interested in a kegerator/fermentation chamber? Danby kegerator, wired with itc-1000, plug for heater element run through co2 hole in back. Know it definitely fits a 5# tank on the hump and 2 kegs on the floor, might fit 3 cornies. Have 2 nib short tower shanks, as I had dreams of...

Going to start piecing together a herms setup using the craftbeerpi controller. Planning on 2 elements and a pump circuit. I see for 3 circuit set ups 12x12x6 is fairly common, but that is including the pid controllers mounted on the front as well. Just curious if a 10x10x6 is sufficient to...

OK, I'm about a half dozen brews in now and this is my first real newbie moment where I am unsure if the beer is a loss or not? Just bought a thermapen, and while comparing it to my old thermometer id been using, realized my old one had been reading 4-6* high. I botched my mash last weekend...

Trying to thin out a tiny bit. -10' of red 5/16" gas tubing. Leftover from building keezer. $10 -New 3/8" auto siphon, still intact packaging $5 -1/2" racking cane, never used. $3 -AC Infinity 1238x 120mm vac fan, can include standard cord, or speed controller cord. Was going to use it as a...

OK, on my 5th brew now and trying to make up some time where I can. Have a blichmann turkey burner I got off CL for $25,but not sure it's doing me any favors. Takes about 30+ minutes to heat 5g of sparge water to 170, takes well over 20 minutes to heat 8g of hot wort 130-140* to boiling. Are...

Picked up a pair of 5g igloo coolers, one has the false bottom and spigot already in, but the npt to barb elbow is missing, and I can't find anywhere to purchase just the fitting and nut without buying the whole ball valve/tubing/elbow assembly.

Did a pale ale at the crack of dawn today. Predicted sg was 1.040, managed to hit my preboil volume and came up with 1.042. Boiled for an hour, again, volume after boil was right on the money, transferred, cooled, took a gravity this afternoon, only made it to 1.049? Just confused, and...

Torpedo or corny with rubber top, at the right price I'd love to grab 2, and have the option to stack them, so something with the upper handles that would allow for that. Shipping or local would be great. I'm in western Mass. Thanks

So my first Ag batch I had a bunch of losses in the mash tun to dead space, and a ton of trub loss with nearly 7oz of hops in the boil/whirlpool. Tried making up for this fact in my equipment profiles in beersmith, and wouldn't you know it, the few mods I made to my MT, and fewer boil hops...

So I brewed last Monday, a 6.7% ipa, second beer, first time brewing alone. Dry hopped it this past Saturday in primary fermenter. Pulled a gravity of 1.012. I've read on the forums, and it all seems to be personal preference, but unfamiliar with how different hops are going to perform. Put in...

So today was my first homebrew using all my own newly acquired/built equipment. Had done one previous batch with my brother, using his equipment, and still had similar pitfalls, using his measurements. Was to be a 5g batch of an ipa, roughly a 15lb grain bill. Using beersmith, I should have...
