I'm in the process of designing a 1 bbl electric brewhouse setup and wanted folks' opinions on different brands and results and pricing. Short of buying a used pilot system, I'm looking at brand new options just to get a top-end budget option. I was leaning SS, but was impressed by Spike's...

I recently made a variation on an ESB with some Rye malt in it. The head retention is fine, but there are some cloud-like splotches of foam hanging around... I haven't really experienced it before. Thoughts on what it could be?

I've had quite a bit of luck with Saison yeasts and White Labs' East Coast Ale (WLP 008 iirc) with closet temps (70-77, roughly) since the spring. Keep in mind yeast activity can and has driven ferment temps to 80, possibly above. I've heard Mangrove Jacks thrown around for higher temp...

Hey y'all, I recently setup a 7.1 cu ft Insignia keezer with a collar, manifold and co2 inside. My brewing partner and I plan on a third keg, but are only rotating 2 kegs currently. I have a number of questions regarding use and upkeep, and would like as much advice as I can get. We aimed to...
