I'm in Run 2 and it is being delayed until June. Something about some defects in the rollers and they had to go back to the manufacturer.

I noticed that their 2022 Mosaic hops are standard price and the 2023 are on sale. Could it possibly be that the 2023 wasn't a good year for the hops and they're trying to unload them? I don't see why the 2022 wouldn't also be on sale. Not making any accusations, just curious.

I finally got to use my new Smartref on a batch this past week. Works really well on pre and post boil readings. The final gravity is what confused me. It was reading 1.031 when the hydrometer reading was 1.012. I finally figured it out, no thanks to the crappy instructions. You have to save...

Curious as to how much liquid came out when you used the new purge method.

Some of the posts about drinking problems being the reason got me thinking... I usually have 2 to 3 pints of my homebrew (usually 5 to 6% abv) every day. Have one or two after work is done and another when I'm cooking, then I stop for the rest of the evening. Is this common among you guys or am...

The delicious smell of malt and hops that spreads throughout the house.

These guys have a pretty good podcast called HomeBrew Happy Hour (homebrewhappyhour.com). Todd Burns, the owner of KegConnection and James Carlson have given out their phone numbers in past shows when folks have problems. Try giving Josh a call at 325-356-5204. They all seem like a bunch of good...

Cool, thanks. What does a brewery normally charge for the wort? What's their incentive to participate in this?

I'm interested in starting a wort rally in my neck of the woods. Can you tell me the rules of the rally such as what you can do to the wort once received. Sounds like fun.

No one answered the phone at Shaw & Louvois emergency line. ;)

Happy Thanksgiving! I enjoyed a home brew clone of New Belgium Atomic Pumpkin ale. Nice habanero kick!

I just made a smoked beer with 75% Sugar Creek pecan smoked malt and it had a nice flavor, not overly strong but distinct. Briess cherry wood has a stronger and sweeter flavor, almost like bacon. Weyerman beechwood has the weakest smoked flavor of the three. You could probably get away with any...

PM sent.

I placed an order 8 days ago, no grain in the order, and it still hasn't shipped. Dropped them an email over the weekend and am waiting for a response. They had a sale on hops and a coupon, for the few dollars I saved it is not worth the headache. Probably the last time I'll be using them.

I had both the M&B and the Klarstein Mundschenk. I had a lot of problems with the M&B, I was always getting the E4 error. Finally it died on me and I moved to the Mundschenk. That model is not at all like the M&B, completely different. I liked the Mundschenk, it was easy to use, you turn the...
