For those who either have built brew rooms or thought about designing a brew room, do you have any recommendations for things you are glad you did and/or things you wish you did? Background: I am building an additional garage for my house and given the way the yard slopes, the builder and I...

I haven't got an email coupon from them in ages. Just wondering if they are still doing those. I used to get them all the time.

Looking for a 1.5" TC wand, maybe 12" long, with a carbonation stone on the end. Preferably with a gas ball lock post on the TC end, but NPT would also work. I want to hang it down from the top of my fermenter to free up a port on the side of my conical.

I do electric brewing so I have an element on the bottom of my kettle. I use an immersion chiller to chill so what I've been doing is putting in a false bottom grate towards the end of the boil to keep the chiller off the element. What I would like to find is a way to suspend the chiller above...

Does anyone know the difference between major and minor updates in BS 3? I have BS 2 and find the water profile section to be worthless. I downloaded the trial version of BS 3 and at least it actually estimates pH in line with Brewer's Friend, Bru'n and MME. I don't want to throw good money...

My local HBS is closing so I decided on a 3 roller monster mill. It will be in my attached garage so it shouldn't be exposed to the elements. My questions: Is it worth paying more for the 1/2" drive shaft? Is it worth upgrading to the better SS rollers? Is it worth upgrading to the SS hopper?

I'm planning on making a mead and after fermentation ends, I am going to add some fruit and let it sit for a little bit. Should I expect any noticeable increase in gravity, or will I just get flavor? I'm going to add campden and potassium sorbate after fermentation so I shouldn't pick up any...

Looking to maybe move my eBIAB setup inside for the winter, but I have some questions about my outlets. I have 15A outlets in my kitchen but the breakers on these outlets are 20A. So here are my questions: Is it possible the wiring in the walls is for 15A even though the breaker is 20A? Or...

I picked up a a couple of cans of Brewer's Best LME to shorten my brew day and the PPG listed is confusing. It gives a range of 1.4250-1.4397. Anyone know how to decipher that? I saw a question asked on a retailer website about what ABV can be expected from this and they said for 3 cans (9.9...

I had my garage wired with a 100A panel over the summer and bought a CUBE controller to jump headfirst into eBrewing. The panel is not GFCI but the breakers are GFCI. I got around to using the CUBE a few months ago and the 240V outlet worked fine for the element but any time I had something...

Going to put a hole for 1/2 NPT fittings in my kettle lid for eBIAB recirculation and I have a few questions. I bought 13/16 and 7/8 punches just in case but I think I will use the 7/8. In terms of getting a clean cut, is it better to use a drill or a ratchet with a knockout punch? If a drill...

Doing my first eBIAB today and I'm planning a large hopstand/whirlpool at 140F. After I chill down to my hopstand temp, is it OK to use the element to maintain that temp? Will the element scorch the hops?

I haven't decided on a specific conical yet, but I like the ones I've seen from Spike, Blichmann, SSBT, etc. Whichever one I get will be stainless, hold at least some pressure, have a nice dump valve, preferably have TCs. My bigger concern is finding a fridge to hold it. I have a kegerator I...

I'm looking to see if there is a 12-15 gallon kettle and basket setup similar to what Brau Supply has with their V3 unit. I really like the way they integrate the basket into the kettle but I'd prefer something bigger than 10 gallons if at all possible. Outside of having a Spike kettle...

I'm having an electrician run a line to my garage for brewing purposes. My original plan was to have a 20A line to run an induction burner (Avantco 3500W). I believe the plug on the burner is 6-20P. Now I'm thinking maybe I want to have some sort of future-proofing in case I decide to do...

I'm looking for a fitting that you can attach a faucet directly to one end, and is 1/2" MPT on the other end. Does that exist?

Website says 14" x 29". Are those rounded or pretty close? Is it actually 29", or something else? Is the height to the top of the TC fitting with or without the TC lid? Or is it to the top of the 90 degree blowoff barb? Or something else? And does the 14" width include the legs and the...

I've never had an infected beer before, at least not that I'm aware of. I made a mead a few weeks ago with an original recipe and was going to take a sample to taste and test. I was on the high side of the recommended yeast temp so I wanted to make sure I didn't end up with jet fuel and should...

I have a music player (vinyl and SACD rips, etc) I'd like to be able to plug into a base speaker with a 3.5mm cable and then have a wireless/Bluetooth speaker that can sync to that base speaker. Does such a system exist? Bonus points if the base speaker can also receive music through...

What I'm looking for is a temp control unit that, once triggered, will stay on for say 5 minutes, and then turn off, even if the target temp hasn't been reached. Then after an off-time of 5 minutes, it will click back on for 5 minutes and keep repeating that process until you hit the target...
