    Deschutes Brewery Oregon Pretzel

    Anyone eaten this? I have had it several times in the Pearl District in Portland and it is SO good. Going to try and duplicate it. They give the recipe for the mustard, and I am sure I can fashion a similar pretzel, just wish I had some idea of what the "white cheese" dipping sauce is. Almost...

    HD for HLT, ELD for BK

    Any reason NOT to use HD in the HLT? It is half the price for a 5500w HD. All I can think of is I heard you could dry fire an ELD. That worth $15 to most? I am getting ELD for the BK, was just thinking about saving $ for the HLT.

    HERMS coil attatchment and size

    First. Why 1/2"? If you have to close your ball valve 3/4 of the way to keep from a stuck sparge why not use 50' of 3/8 OD for a 15gal sanke HERMS? For 15gal is longer better? 25' vs 50'? What kind of fitting is good to connect? Do you permanently mount with something like Or do you...

    HEX Coil 1/2" or 3/8"

    Will run continuously for a 3 keggle system. I have a 3/8"x 50' IC that I want to upgrade to a 1/2" x 50' IC. Was thinking of using the 50' x 3/8" for my HEX. Most people use 1/2" x 25' right? I have read about not needing much flow rate so the 3/8" restriction should not be a bother. Will the...

    Electrically Confused (PID, SSR, Toggle Switches oh my!)

    Hi, getting ready to weld up my single tier stand soon and am looking at gathering parts for my control box. I have spent hours searching and comparing, looking at the setups of others and have many questions. My general setup will be. Electric BK, Electric HLT, Single Infusion Batch Sparge...

    Brew Stand Design

    My google sketchup design for stand. All electric. Batch sparge. One pump. The footprint on my kegs are 15" bottom, 17" center. The center strut is pretty much just for the pump mounting. Cooling will be IC whir pooling. If there will be any automation, it will be PID on the HLT...

    Chlorine!

    So I called my water dept. to see if they used chlorine or chloramine and they said they used sodium hydrochloride (I think). He also told me by the time it took me to get 10gal of water to 180degrees the chlorine will have dissapated so for brewing I don't need to worry about filtering or...

    Something strange in my brew

    Did my first all grain batch. Also my first batch with liquid yeast and a starter. What is this in the bottom of my carboy?

    Yeast suspension

    My ebay stir plate still throws the bar. Instead of the traditional vortex I put the side of my Erlenmeyer flask on the center of the fan and turned it on. It still threw the bar so I put a pencil under the corner of the flask to elevate one side and keep the bar over the magnet. It hops around...

    DIY stirplate FAN SPEED

    How do I slow this mother down? Bought a DIY style plate off of ebay to save myself from learning basic electronics. Well... ****. It doesn't work. Keeps throwing the bar. I believe I could fix the problem by slowing down the fan because the slowest speed on the dial is too fast. Not sure how...

    All of my beers taste exactly the same

    After about 7 batches I'm disgusted. Amber Hef Red Blue moon clone blue moon clone Another amber another wheat They all taste damn near exactly the same, same color, everything. Kind of a malty taste I guess, not pleasant but drinkable. I have been using dry yeast, rehydrated, no...

    Soaker hose pre-chiller

    Was thinking of using a garden soaker hose in an ice bath to prechill the groundwater for my IC. So. It's not made out of spendy copper, and it already has the attachments on the hose. I was thinking attach the soaker to the house, then right down into an ice bath, with the end of the...
