    Minnesota NB and Midwest Stores Closing (Potentially affecting MN People)

    I went there earlier today. The new place is in the same building as a mattress company. BM is on the west end of the building and you access it by a single service door - My first impressions were that this space was way larger and way better than their other locations I had been to. One of...

    Minnesota NB and Midwest Stores Closing (Potentially affecting MN People)

    Sorry for the confusion. I have not been inside the new location yet. I'm going to be by there tomorrow morning and I'll swing in and report back - don't know if they are open on the weekends at the new location and I'll ask specific questions (how many grains, yeasts, hops, etc. do you stock)...

    Minnesota NB and Midwest Stores Closing (Potentially affecting MN People)

    Luckily, for me, in their latest move, Beermeister moved to Hamel/Medina - which is closer to my house. This is the third move they have made in my short brewing history. One, maybe more, of their owners used to work for NB and MW. Customer service is not their strong suit, store perusing and...

    Brew shed walls

    FRP works great for what you'll need it to do. Easy to work with (cuts easily, applies easily, and cleans up very easy). I chose the textured panel rather than the smooth panel since it has the increased chance to get gunk (brewing stuff, dirt, cobwebs, etc.) on the panel. I am just finishing...

    Never seen this before

    Hello, Saturday afternoon (6/4/2022) I brewed a 5 gallon batch of Pilsner. I used 10# Weyermann Barke Pilsner and .5# Weyermann Carahell and 1 oz Tettnang and 2 oz Saaz during the boil. I recently purchased a 2V system and have struggled with stuck mashes so for this batch that I'm describing...

    Adventures in Homebrewing (aka Homebrewing.org)

    That really sucks if they don't honor your points! I had around $80.00 worth of points. I called the phone number and the person that answered (a man - not sure of his name) sent me an email with a gift card with the value of my points. I understand that they are now owned (partially or...

    Walk in cooler insulation

    Short answer is yes you should be able to use foil faced insulation directly against the existing sheetrock. Make sure you tape the seams. Maybe you can recall if your existing sheetrocked wall has poly (plastic)? Remember any moisture generated or inherent will need to "go somewhere." Take...

    Walk in cooler insulation

    IMO, the type of insulation in the walls will be a factor in your concern of mold. You should determine if it is batt insulation or rigid. If it is rigid, hope it's closed cell. If it is batt, you'll definitely want a vapor barrier (between the exterior wall and your interior wall) although...

    My first Keezer (10 tap)

    Your keezer is nicely done. Can you tell me a little more about your brewing set-up and process? Do you do BIAB, 2V, 3V or hybrid? What size batch(es) do you typically brew? Do you store ready-to-drink beer in this keezer prior to hooking up the keg? I'm curious about your current set-up...

    Walkin Cooler TX Build

    I built a walk-in-cooler a couple years ago. Mine is 4 x 8 x 7 (outside dimensions) on wheels. I used rigid (5.5") insulation with spray foam in the gaps. I sandwiched the insulation between 2x6's for framing and 3/4" plywood for the wall/floor/ceiling sheathing. It is very airtight and I...

    Kegerator build: need help deciding how many taps

    My current keezer can hold 8 kegs since I moved the C02 (20#) out of the keezer. Although I am able to leave the Nitrogen inside (smaller bottle on the shelf). I started with 3 taps through the collar but switched to 5 after about 3 months. I converted a chest freezer into my keezer.

    Backyard Brew Shed / Bar

    I applaud your initiative. I have a 4x8 (outside dimensions) walk-in-cooler that I built. For me, here is what I would change: First think of your refrigeration. Mine uses a CoolBot and a 8000BTU window AC unit to cool. The CoolBot is great! The AC unit does a great job at cooling but it's...
