Hi, I've obtained the municipal water quality report for where I live (Framingham, MA) in the past, and it lacks some of the key information for brewing purposes. I understand that I can pay a lab to do an analysis and that this would only represent a snapshot in time. Does anyone know about the...

Asking $175. Will consider trades. Thanks for looking.

Hi- Like many of us, my approach and equipment has morphed over the years. I mashed in a 10 gallon round cooler for years. Early in the pandemic, I scored a used Brewer's Edge Mash & Boil for an excellent price and have used that a few times. Last week, I found a crazy deal on a 20 gallon SS...

This Fermentator (w/ NPT connections) was used once and is like new. Includes all original pieces, add-on leg extensions, and locking casters (although I do not have the brackets for the casters). This is really a lot more than I need for my brewing purposes. Will consider reasonable offers.

I've got a secondary regulator that I'd like to mount (it's currently sitting on top of one of my two corneys inside) inside my Sanyo 4900. I am just wary about putting a screw into the inner wall of the fridge. Can anyone recommend a nondestructive way that I can mount it? Thanks!

Last night I finally bottled the Belgian sour that I brewed in May 2010 (yes, I actually restrained myself for that long). I don't do much bottling these days, but I didn't want to keg this one. Anyhow, I am wondering after the fact, given that the beer sat in the fermenter for 15 months, was I...

Saturday I brewed my first 10 gallon batch (an IPA). These days I brew indoors, using two heat sticks in a rubberized keg. Since I got a March pump in the summer, I've wanted to put that to use in brewing 10 gallon batches. I don't use an HLT, so I heated volumes of sparge water for batch...

If so, please shoot me a PM. Thanks. PnG

My wife and I just returned from our first cruise, which was great. It was a cruise through the Eastern Caribbean on Holland America. One thing that became immediately apparent to me is how lame the beer selection was. Of course, given that it is Holland America, I expected that they would have...

I recently acquired one of those German 2 liter fliptop growlers. I had to buy a new assembly (flip top, hinge, and gasket) at my LBHS. The seal isn't good enough, as there is a bit too much play in the mechanism. I get bubbling at the gasket when I fill it. Has anyone had similar problems with...

Using my new keggle for the first time... tightening a hose clamp on my immersion chiller... into the wort the screwdriver went... I was already down to 90ish degrees. :confused:

I've got 2 new stainless steel elbow shanks (tower shanks) that I'm interested in trading for other brewing paraphernalia, such as a secondary regulator or ....? These shanks are ideal for DIY draft towers (that's what I did) or upgrading shanks in existing towers. These are the shanks...

I just recently kegged and carbed a dunkelweizen (4.0 volumes CO2). My other keg has a porter in it, of course with a much lower carbonation level. I inserted two of those epoxy mixer sticks in the dunkelweizen dip tube to help reduce foaming. My question is, in order to maintain the high...

My wife wants to know what to buy me for an anniversary gift, and I was actually at a loss for what to tell her. I still use a homemade immersion chiller, and am thinking that a Shirron chiller might be good form me, particularly because I want to step up to 10 gallon batches. A search of the...

I brewed a Flanders style red ale 3 weeks ago, my first attempt at a buggy beer. It's in the primary (Better Bottle) now. I've read posts about using oak dowels and thought I would try this. My question is, what would be the best way for me to proceed at this point? Add an oak dowel through the...

The guy at the LBHS recently gave me a vial of WLP655 - Belgian sour blend - because it had just passed the expiration date. Last night, I made a small starter (1/2 cup DME, 1 pint water) to make sure that it's still viable. I'm not panicking, but how long should I let it go without clear signs...

To those of you who manage to keep up with either HBT or any other forum on a regular basis, and even know other folks on the board... how do you manage to keep up, particularly when there are so many sub-forums? I find that it's pretty intermittent with me, and even then, there are so many...

I just got off the phone with North Country Malt Supply. I called to get prices on 2-row pale and Pilsner malt. When I asked for 2-row, the lady basically told me that they switched (?) to Canada Malting "Superior", which she said is comparable to 2-row, and sells for $30.36. What is "Superior"...
