    Chest Freezer Set Up?

    Well folks, I've gone and done it. After a lot of luck using a wrap-around heating element to make some badass saisons and kveik projects, I've decided to go the other way, and I just bought a 5.0 cu ft chest freezer that opens from the top. Gets here Thursday. I also already have an inkbird...

    Coffee additive question

    FWIW, after lots of trial and error, I perfected the coffee addition on my maple bacon porter by adding 2 oz. of the coarsest grind possible, throwing into a muslin sack, and tossing into secondary/end of primary for NO MORE than 3 days. This gives subtle coffee flavor that gets an "oooh...

    Brewer's Edge Pump?

    Does anyone know where you can get the recirculation pump for BE? Buyer's remorse I didnt pick one up from the beginning. Failing that, a suitable replacement?

    Lion Brewing Solutions (on eBay)

    Not to beat a dead horse, but just ordered a Tilt from these folks on eBay just now. eBay claims I can expect GUARANTEED delivery by Friday, 1/25 from today. So let's cross our fingers... If this pans out, I'll give these guys wicked good feedback and update here as well.

    Why Sanitation is important

    YES! Liberal use of StarSan and foamy burbling starters is how to roll...

    Short on the FG

    Oh definitely. The metabolic activity is night and day over when I would just splash and swirl, and then pitch a smack pack without a starter. I can't use those little airlocks if I use a starter and the O2 wand. Within 3 hours it's bubbling away, and within 24, there's krausen shooting...

    What's your occupation: Engineer or Non-Engineer

    Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Masters and Doctorate in Sociology of Science and Engineering Design. Currently an IT Project Manager for the Governments. I run State Projects like I run my Brew Day: Tight, and in control, yet it never goes totally right... a delightful frustration.

    Brewer's Edge Mash & Boil

    Overjoyed to have found this thread! I love my Brewer's Edge, and have been using it since I moved into an apartment a year ago. I'm using mine very differently though... I had an All-Grain setup using a 10G Igloo Mash Tun, and a 10G HLT. I didn't have to give those up moving into the...

    Building Water from RO for an Russian Imperial Stout

    My tap water varies tremendously seasonally here in Capital District NY. There's salt in the winter, run-off in spring, way too much chlorine in the hot summer, and decaying crap in the fall. I bit the bullet and start with 100% distilled now, and add salts in accordance with Bru'n Water...

    Emergency! Did i ruin my beer?

    I resemble that remark.

    Emergency! Did i ruin my beer?

    Eh. I've drank worse. I'm very forgiving of my own homebrew, and others', but super critical of commercial craft beer. If this was my actual day job, you bet I'd be seeking true perfection with about $20,000 worth of gear.

    "Modern" malts - what changed?

    This. The single most definitive technology in modern malting, in my view, is the use digital controllers in kilns and other equipment. Being able to dial a number, "387F", and actually hit that temperature accurately and hold it consistently within 1 degree fahrenheit is nothing short of...
