I was hoping people on this forum could help me with my quest. I am looking to replace my silicone tubing because of the concerns with oxygen diffusion through the tubing. My set up really requires that I use a flexible tubing/hose. I have been doing a some research but have not found...

Thermoworks is having a 20% off full priced items for Labor Day.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with trying to warm up the SS Brewtech 7G unitank. What is behind this question is I am looking at doing some brews using Kveik yeast and some of the recipes call for fermenting at 95 F. I doubt that I can get that high although I see the range...

I have several Thermoworks thermometers and a couple of Inkbirds. I have a Thermoworks Smoke with an extra-long probe that I use on brew day in the kettle. I brewed the other day and I was waiting for my kettle to come up to temperature for the mash. The Smoke was reading 144 degrees F and...

I was just wondering why you would purchase a brite tank on a homebrewing scale. I saw one for a good price on CL but could not come up with a reason to purchase. I understand where it makes sense for a brew pub. I was hoping someone could enlighten me.

Having my electrician come over to put in a subpanel with a GFCI 30 Amp breaker in it. He has specified a cord with an L15-30 receptacle. I have questioned him about it but he insists that is the correct plug for my needs. It seems to me an L14-30 is the better choice, but I am not the...

I saw these on craigslist and they looked like a decent value - he is refurbishing them. Disclaimer - I do not know the seller and cannot vouch for him. Robobrew Looks like he is shipping them around the country.

I usually brew ales but it seems no matter what I brew, my brews tend to end lower than the projected final gravity. Typically, I am between 1.005 and 1.008. I am using a Tilt, a refractometer, and a hydrometer and they all show the same result so I know that it is not an instrument issue...

I am converting over to electric brewing and I had an electrician run a 240V - 40 AMP circuit to my brew room. He installed a 3 prong receptical (3 wire) but said he could come back and make it a 4 wire if need - the wires are there. As I started to research controllers I see there are some...

I brewed a blonde ale, kegged it, added gelatin fining, but it ended up with a haze. It looked like a hazy IPA. It tasted fine. Now it has been in the keezer for couple of months and almost gone and last night I poured a glass and it was crystal clear. Tasted the same but I was wondering...

Spike has just unveiled their Flex and Flex + conical fermentors. Spike Flex Looks like they are trying to compete with the Brew Bucket and Anvil systems. The plus model allows you to go to 15 psi so it can be a poor man's unitank. Nice price point. I was looking at the Anvil for small...

I am experimenting to make a habanero IPA. I am putting chopped habanero peppers into the secondary. I have initially put one pepper in but after a few days there was only a hint of heat. I then added another chopped pepper and after a couple of days there is a nice warmth in the throat and...

Grounded Brewing Tech has a spring clearance on their 15 Gallon kettles. $140. These were selling for $275. Link

I noticed Anvil has released a cooling system to go with their bucket fermentors. I am considering getting the 4 gallon fermentor with their cooling system for my small (3 gallon) batches. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these. Their pricing is pretty reasonable, IMO. My...

Hello: I have been home brewing for short time. Have lurked on this forum for awhile and decided to join up and contribute when I can. This site has been very helpful for me. I have been doing BiaB and it has been going well. I do mostly 5 gallon batches - it seems to be right for me. I...
