Hello all, I am a newer brewer when it comes to 220V set ups, and I would like to NOT electrocute myself or others. As such, I have a bit of a newbie question. I am looking to get a Brewtools B40, which uses a NEMA 6-20 plug. My current intention is to hook up into my dryer outlet in the...

New addition: Refurbished Grainfather. My OG Grainfather was the victim of the dreaded melted plug. I received a replacement unit and set upon repairing this one. Replaced the plug in the controller and everything works great. Have used the controller recently for a brew day with no issues...

So I decided to give this whole wild yeast capturing thing a try. I went back into the woods and found some wild raspberries that I plucked and put into some wort and let sit for a week. I got a nice layer of some creamy looking stuff that looked very much like yeast. So I decided to stick it...

Hello everyone! So I just got done constructing my fermentation freezer/keezer. Basically, I have a STC1000 running the freezer to keep it at a constant temperature. The issue that I am facing is probe placement so that I can keep the freezer at a constant temperature without major cycling...

So I have a small 5 cu ft freezer that I just built into a keezer buy building a collar for it. I built the collar out of 2x6 wood. I sealed it to the top using kitchen caulk on the bottom of the wood and both the inside and outside. I also have a fan running to circulate the air. I have...

Hey guys! So I bought a few milled grained kits and have been using them over the past few weeks. Its coming on two months now that one of my milled grain kits has been sitting in a sealed container in my room. The grains are out of direct sunlight and the room is AC'ed so it never really...

Hello, So I have some rather limited space and money being a college student. I just started kegging and I have to use my chest freezer that I normally use for fermentation to keep my kegs cold... I was wondering if people could share their experience of keeping kegs at serving temperature...

Looking for a counterflow wort chiller. If anyone has one that they want to get rid of, please let me know. Looking to pay no more than $50 with shipping included. Thanks

Title says it all, looking to get a chugger or march pump to step up my game. If you are looking to get rid of one let me know. Would love to see a price sub $100. Thanks.

So this will probably fall under that whole "patience is a virtue young padawan" but I will ask anyway. I am currently brewing my first lager, a "Bitburger" extract clone using the flowing recipe: http://byo.com/malt/item/1798-bitburger-premium-clone The only thing I changed is the yeast, I...

Hello everyone, So I have 6 brews under my belt and have nailed down my process for brewing and fermentation. I have been very fortunate to not have any infected batches thus far (knock on wood) and have made some rather decent brews. It's time to step up my game. I already have a chest...

Hey everyone! I'm looking for help in creating a tap for my mini keg (5 liter). I found some info on the net but a lot of the pics and links seem to be broken. I found an instructable as well as a YouTube video, but I guess I'm a bit confused on just how to assemble the tap. I was hoping to...
