I was curious if someone would be willing to back me down from something I've been researching recently and have found myself dead set on pursuing. A few important notes: 1. My house was built in 1927 and has boiler/radiator heating. 2. I've got a wide open attic that I hope to refinish to...

Milwaukee area Brewers! Sprecher just posted on Craigslist that they're selling barrels at $50 a pop: http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/grq/3280659704.html

HBT'ers! Thought I'd let everyone in on an interesting equipment failure that I've had over the past 36 hours. I've got a large frostless upright freezer controlled with an analog johnson controls temp controller. Beer was serving fine Wednesday night, but wasn't spitting anything when I...

Howdy all fellow eBrewers. I've brewed 30 or so batches on a previous system that was purposefully under-engineered. Now that I have a feel for what I'm looking for and others in my group are looking to move electric I built a new modified Kal clone. Unfortunately, while I thought I was...

Anyone ever hear of the Illinois Brewing Company? Looks like they are for sale: http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/bfs/2683464603.html http://www.myspace.com/illinoisbrewing Not saying anyone should jump on this, just curious if anyone's been there. Seems like a pretty reasonable for what...

Just a small note to the HBT community. A collection of friends have become avid brewers over the past two years. We are also slaves to what we call man-escalation. When someone floated the idea of brewing for 24 hours straight it had to happen. We have 7 brewers currently scheduled to brew...

I wanted to get the thoughts of fellow HBT'ers about an event we're going to be doing later this summer. I brew collectively with 8 people. We get together at least once a week and will occasionally brew concurrently. We're also a group of friends who will pursue ridiculous ideas. We've...

http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/for/2490552508.html Not mine, but we picked up ~110 of these bottles. Needed to be cleaned a bit, but I dont think it was so bad for $1/bottle. Were used for sangria for what I can only assume was the Cedarburg strawberry festival.

For this who might be interested in 1", just found 10x stainless valves for $40 shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190501969385&category=42932&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

Hello all. As I have a few friends that I know follow these forums, and I know that I might be doing something a bit different from the norm that might benefit others so I thought I'd start documenting my build and brewing experiences here. First, I've never brewed an AG batch before. This...

Not mine, and I'm nowhere close to brewing 1bbl batches, and it might not even be usable, but I thought I'd give you guys a heads up: http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/for/1553259321.html

Not mine, but I wanted to post a cheap 18x18x6 pull box that I found on ebay. Not entirely water tight, but I thought it was a great find for the money. Really decent <edit>galv. steel</edit> and plenty of room to work...

Hello. Brand new to brewing, first batch ever is sitting in secondary right now waiting to be force-carbed. This past week a friend convinced me to make a hard cider. He'll be returning around december, so I figured start it now, and let it age until then. Went out and found some real nice un...
