I decided late last year that I wanted to upgrade from my 5-year old Gene Cafe--which has been fantastic--to the Aillio Bullet R1. Have been waiting patiently ever since for Sweet Maria's to get them in stock. Well they just did about 30 minutes ago, and my order is in! Will probably be a...

Just like last year, let's keep track of our total output for 2019! Yesterday I roasted the last 7 lbs of my Ethiopia Agaro Biftu Gudina Cooperative. NeilMac reported in the 2018 thread that he roasted 21 oz last week, so that brings our first total for 2019 to: 8.31 lbs Please post up your...

So I recently built my first brewing rig, and kegged its first beer earlier this week. It's now carbed and when I went to move it into my kegerator (Perlick two-spout built-in undercounter), I discovered that while it will fit with like 1/16" clearance by itself, once the hoses/ball lock...

I have a 7.9 Gallon FastFerment that I received as part of a bundle that I do not need. It is complete with all standard accessories and in a factory-sealed box. This has many of the features of a conical fermenter--allows harvesting yeast and removing trub, so secondary fermentation can take...

I purchased two SS BrewBuckets, which I'm planning to modify with a weldless 1.5" Triclamp ferrule so I can use this fitting for blowoffs and pressure transfer: I'm thinking I need a tube that fits over this barb (3/8") on one end, and has a gas post on the other, unless I want to just take a...

As many of you probably know, Sierra Nevada created a recipe they're calling Resilience IPA, convinced over a hundred breweries to make it yesterday (11/27) and donate the entire proceeds to a Camp Fire Relief Fund they created. They also worked with suppliers to donate many of the raw...

I've been brewing with a Pico Pro for about 2 years now, and looking to make the jump into "for real" all-grain brewing. With that in mind, I'm trying to figure out what kind of rig I want to buy/assemble. From my reading, I'm fairly certain I don't want to go to a full 3-vessel HERMS setup...

I got in on the sale Bell's was having last week on the Brewing Elements series of books (Hops, Malt, Yeast, Water), and was curious if anyone had a recommended order in which to read them.

I'm currently debating whether to keep my Picobrew Z2 order--they originally promised to start deliveries in July, but it's now looking like sometime next year at best--or go a more traditional route with electric. In the 30A two element but one-at-a-time category, the options are all over the...

As many of you have seen in the "How many pounds...." thread, I roast and drink a lot of coffee. I'm just finishing up my last order from Sweet Marias, and this time decided to move on to Coffee Shrub, their wholesale site. So a 50lb bag of Ethiopia Agaro Biftu Gudina Cooperative is now on its...

I've been using an OG PicoBrew (effectively upgraded to the Pro via their kit) since October, and have really enjoyed the process. Enough that I have a preorder in for the Z2 and four extra 5G kegs, and I'm really looking forward to getting a little more hands-on and truly making "my own" beer...
