What i did, instead of building a separate pre-chiller, you can simply feed your chiller (if you have one) from a bucket filled with ice water. You just need a little aquarium pump that has a nozzle that fits to one end of the hose that feeds the chiller. Just have the water cycling to your...

wow talk about thread revival lol. That beer turned out just fine if i remember correctly. And im glad a few of you caught my fishy references :) . Im guessing the issue WAS that i had heated the gelatin too much. but since then i've only used it one other time and i didnt get the snot...

I have no idea how old it is. Im at least the 2nd owner, it doesnt look terribly old, but definitely has a few years on it. I've had it for 3 years, and the previous owner probably about the same.

I kind of figured that I was going to have to just replace it. How does it just "lose charge" ? just out of curiosity. -Sam

Hey everyone, So i finally got back into brewing..... and i just discovered my keezer no longer works!!! I had decided to bottle my beer anyways but now its just bothering me that i cant get it to work. I run it with a ranco controller. I've checked the wiring on the controller several times...

I tried that when the problem first came up. I dont remember why that didnt work... while looking through some more online pics i may have found an option. But please continue to leave responses. thanks, Sam

Hey everyone, Well after an excrutiating break from homebrewing (about a year), I want to make some brew today since the weather sucks and is keeping me from fishing. Problem is i never quite finished my MLT. I had assembled all the parts, but noticed that the parts that seal at the spigot...

That recipe has definitely been in my "on deck" section. sounds like a definite possibility...

Hello everyone! My b-day is coming up, and it just so happens that i should be ready to do my first all-grain just in time. (if i can come up with some money for a wort chiller). That being said, what should i make? I really like amber ales, APA's, and Hef's. actually havent made a hef...

Man, not gonna lie that was the worst brew day i have had in a while. just about everything that could go wrong did....though i think the beer will be fine. i was missing temps left and right...and i kept on forgetting things. im a little rusty because i havent brewed in a while. I just did...

well lets just say I dont smell like gunpowder... :D

hey all, this question might have already been answered, but i didnt go through all 16 pgs... Can you use flaked rice or does it have to be "minute" rice? im guessing the minute rice is modified in some way... thanks, Sam

Brewing up some cream o' 3 crops in a while. But i want to go shoot some skeet/trap ....decisions, decisions....

completely a side story, but i couldnt help it.... Charles Bamforth is one of my teachers! and yes is book is really good. glad i bought a new one and not used! maybe i can just ask him this question?

i only brew on days that end in Y... pretty strict policies 'round here.

sorry if im hijacking because this probably isnt what he meant, but i wonder.... can you make a yeast starter from a bottle of beer? i practice harvesting my yeast cakes but is there enough in a single bottle to get a good culture?

thats f***ing hilarious!!!!!!!! i literally just laughed out loud. sure you would be in some **** after that, and you could expect to not get some from your lady for a while....but it might just be worth it. honestly i would probably pull that if my girl did that....o wait i did. cept i...

ya piedmont's a nice place, got a few friends from there. I like to go through oakland as little as possible. i drove through some (extra) shady parts one time when i got lost.... i was actually a little scared to get out of my car. And i didnt grow up in the best of neighborhoods

Bad coffee- is that a kalk reactor? Or Ca? i build aquariums stuff too. I built a couple small tanks, skimmers, and other small acrylic work. I am also in the process of building my own AR-15. well, thats more assembling than building but still a feat in CA. sorry no pics yet
