For sale is my counter flow chiller. Home made. 25 foot copper tubing innards, garden hose outer. Same deal as the ones you can get from Austin Homebrew for 78 bucks. Asking $50 pickup; $60 shipped. I'm about 30 minutes north of Philadelphia (zip 18977). I'm also selling my Little Giant...

For sale is my Little Giant 3MD-HC Pump with Fittings. Full setup so that you can run hot wort out of your boiler, thru the chiller and into your fermenters in one swoop. Includes quick-disconnect fittings (both in and out ends), and a ball valve; as well as silicone tubing so you don't melt...

I'm selling all of my brew equipment and this is all that's left. The pump is the Little Giant 3MD HC. It's in great shape, I've used it for a few batches, maybe 15 hours of run time, if that. Comes with brass quick disconnects and a ball valve, as well as beefy silicone tubing. This is not...

It pains me in a deep way to do this but I'm going to be selling all of my homebrewing gear... Everything you'll need to move up from extract brewing to all grain. I'm not trying to make a huge amount of coin on this - I'd rather see a new brewer take the hobby to the next level and enjoy it...

I'm going to be doing a big stout next time I brew, and I'd like to oak some of it for a while. I'll be using cubes in a 3 gallon carboy. My question is, will the oak cubes change the ABV of the beer over time? The beer will probably sit on the cubes for a good 9 months, depending on how the...

I can't seem to find any online. Called the LHBS and he said "Amarillo probably won't be released to the public for 4 or 5 years." Is this true? Does anyone have an Amarillo plant?

This isn't really brewing related but... I like to age a lot beer. To this point, I've never wanted to age a beer that came in a can. But I got my hands on a bunch of Oscar Blues' Ten Fidy. It's around 10% abv, so I imagine it will keep for a while. Are there any considerations for aging...

I just finished harvesting my hops and I definitely can't wait to use them. I'm most concerned about what you all think of the hops... 11 lbs Pils 1 lb Vienne 1 lb Munich 1 lb Cara Pils .5 oz Nugget @ 60 mins 1 oz Nugget and Cascade @ 20 mins 1 oz Nugget and Cascade @ 10 mins 1 oz...

I harvested a bunch of Nugget hops the other day. Some were on the vine a little too long, some were just right, some were a little young still probably, and others I left for a secondary picking later. So I have two questions: 1. Some of the cones have some brown leaves - do I pick those...

So I upgraded my mash tun recently to a bigger cooler and a stainless braid/ball valve contraption. I have since made 4 batches, and I have gotten very high efficiency numbers for them: 1. 16.75 lbs of grain, preboil gravity = 1.043 in 13.75 gallons, ~95% efficiency. 2. 10.5 lbs grain, PBOG...

I want a hopback reeeal bad... but I don't have a pump. Do I need a pump?? Can it just be gravity fed? I fear clogging... My setup goes: keggle (elevated) to a counterflow chiller to the fermenter. Also, does a hopback go before the chiller or after? Beer!, Drew

OK so I was drinking a DFH Immort Ale the other day and loved it. Inspired, I decided to think up a similar recipe to make in time for December or January. Here's how I think I want it to go: - Standard dubbel grist of pils, aromatic, special B, Munich, maybe a few others - I'm still...

I brewed 10 gallons of BierMuncher's Centennial Pale yesterday. I have high, high hopes! But I have a (seemingly) simple question: My starting volume and gravity were 13.75 gallons at 1.043. I ended up with I think about 11 gallons at 1.048. Can some one help me figure out my final volume...

Will your beer condition/mature faster in bottles or in the carboy? The specific beer in question was a Triple, (1.078) and has been in the carboy for ~6 weeks. I've asked a few people and have gotten mixed responses... What do you guys think?

I brewed a Pale this afternoon. Used 11 total pounds of grain, for a 5 gallon batch. I ran off 6.5 gallons. The gravity was too high, so I ran off some more... finally I ended up with PBG = 1.052 in 7.5 gallons. Out of 11 lbs of grain. This can't be right, can it? My actual readings were...

I started doing 10 gallon batches a few rounds ago. To accommodate the extra grain, I've been mashing/laughtering with a converted 15 gallon keg (the same vessel I use for the boil). This is an annoying process, having to clean the spent grains out before I can start the boil, so I was...

I posted this question the other day in a different forum and got no response. Maybe some one in here knows... I've been reading through 'Brew Like a Monk' and in the section on Chimay, they talk about using wheat starch (wheat flour in its White) as an adjunct in their recipes to improve...

So I've been reading through 'Brew Like a Monk' and in the section on Chimay, they talk about using wheat starch (wheat flour in its White) as an adjunct in their recipes to improve head retention. Apparently Chimay uses 6-Row malts to convert the extra starches. Does anyone have any...
