$25. I can meet ya in Bothell or Seattle.

This stainless fermenter with temp control made a HUGE difference in the quality of my beers. Its super easy to bottle from, keeps the trub down in the conical base, and has also eliminated infections. There is a reason pro brewers use this setup for test batches! $400 new + shipping. I’m...

In my opinion- this is the way to do all-grain. easy and really comes out better than the BIAB setup. It basically takes everything you would get in a huge brew tower and makes it apartment-size. Looking for someone in the NYC area, as this is going to be pricey if shipped. I’m including a...

I love this little thing! It lets you know exactly what your beer is doing, and it’s so much fun to watch! It eliminated stuck fermentations for me, and let me know when to d-rest (my lagers came out awesome after I got this). $135 new, I’m selling for $100...

Colt strong bench capper. This thing is solid! $55 new. I’m selling for $35. https://www.morebeer.com/products/colt-strong-high-pressure-bench-bottle-capper.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrOX61d-F9wIVE4vICh1Ztgm-EAQYBiABEgL0j_D_BwE I’m selling my brew stuff cause I’m moving to the west coast and...

Got this O2 kit for my high-gravity brews, but have started using it on all my brews. It really smoothes out the fermentation, helps prevent stuck fermentations, and cuts down on the higher alcholols. Happy yeast=better beer. $70 new, I’m selling for $50, and throwing in 2 free bottles of 02...

Selling my awesome kegging system. Looking for someone in the NYC area, as shipping would be impracticalThis is a sweet little space-friendly setup I figured out to fit my apartment. It includes: 3 gallon keg Regulator 5lb co2 tank A stainless “beer gun” A mini fridge that fits it all inside...

Brewing a Belgian quad. LHBS had 2 packs of Wyeast 1214, but they were both 3 days past expiration. They gave me the yeast for free along with a pack of dry Lalbrew“abayye” yeast. Nice guys.. told me to pitch both the liquid and the dry so I have enough cells ( no time for a starter, brewing in...

So, I have a keg in the fridge on my back porch, and my grill is on the front porch… If I move my keg to the front porch and pop it in a cooler, how long should I wait for the sludge to re-settle so I can serve relotovly clear beer? I keg from primary and don’t use gelatin.

Do you guys usually get a quick fermentation with S-189? It started within a few hours, and is now at about 30 percent attenuation after 48 hrs. Way different than my experience with other lager yeasts. Its a 3 gallon batch of 1.052 OG Vienna Lager. I hydrated 2 packs in 65 degree water, then...

Has anyone tried Celia in a lager recipe? Im putting together a Vienna lager soon. The go-to is Hallertau for Vienna’s, but I’m thinking of branching out. Im going for a fairly crisp, a touch bready, no fruitiness in any way whatsoever, and epic boatloads of flowers. Celia is the most “flowery”...

I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth putting a co2 bracket in my fridge. My 5 lb co2 tank is wedged in behind the kegs, so it’s not going to come flying out and break the valve off. Probably the worst that could happen is the tank tipping over inside the fridge with my regulator attached and...

I’m trying to figure out if I have a small co2 leak. I kegged my beer and stuck it in the fridge with the gas on 20psi to cold crash and start carbing. The next morning, I stuck my head in the fridge to check the gauge and felt lightheaded. I turned off the gas (valve at the tank closed...

So, I checked my keg for leaks this afternoon. I sprayed all the connections with starsan (diluted as normal for sanatizing). Some overspray got on my co2 tank (painted steel - looks like an old fire extinguisher) do I need to worry about the star-San corroding the co2 tank? I gave it a quick...

So, I’ve had a batch of saison (ish) going for 6 days now with OYL 30 (same thing as wyeast 3944. It dropped from 1.068 to 1.022 in 4 days, and then hit the brakes ( just checked, and I’m at 1.020). I’ve had the same experience before, and shook the fermentor to get the top-cropping yeast back...

Hi all, I’ve been reading a lot of threads about folks starting, or thinking of starting microbreweries. Seems like a lot of folks are surprised to find that starting a brewery is pretty similar to starting any other commercial business - lots of planning, permits and logistics. Yes, you gotta...

I just picked up the ingredients for my next batch from the LHBS. Unfortunately, now it looks like irked be a couple weeks before I get to brew. Looks like all the grains were milled together. Is it a problem to store a couple of ounces acidated malt mixed in with the rest of my grain bill? Just...

So, I know there are dozens, if not hundreds of lager strains out there. Is there a significant difference in their flavor? Reason I’m asking- I’m considering just picking out the easiest yeast to use (probably a Czech pils or an American lager, because of low diacytl and high flocculation)...

Hey all, is anybody else getting over-attention when brewing with extract? Finding that all my extract brews are hitting 85 percent or so. My AG beers stick around 75 percent where I want em’. Using 100 percent malt DME (muntons, usually). No sugar. I doubt it’s an infection. Does DME just...

Hi All! I wound up with a bit more wort than I needed last brew, so I tossed it in the freezer. I’ve never used frozen wort for anything before - any tips or ideas? I don’t use starters (gasp!) so I’d probably use it for a 1-gallon brew or as part of a future brew. The Wort - ESB, O.G 1.040...
