So I've been reading through some of the LoDO information here and trying to get my head around it. For now I am limited by my cold side techniques, and these are what I want to work on first, especially because without them any hot side work will be mostly moot. One of the seemingly easier...

In general I like the new look of the forum, but I have a couple questions. Before there was a place at the bottom of the page to "jump to" another part of the forum. It no longer is there, or I am just missing it. Also, when I hover the arrow/hand over a post, there is no preview of the post...

A few days ago I was checking on two meads / melomels that I have going - a raspberry and pineapple. I noticed a film starting on both, but worse on the raspberry. I was under the impression that meads and wines were almost immune from infection, but perhaps that is incorrect. Some back...

Hey all. I'll be in Raleigh this Saturday afternoon and evening before heading to the Outer Banks for vacation Sunday morning. We are going to scope out the area for a potential move in a year or so, but I'd like to hit at least one brewery / brew pub while we are there. So let's hear it - if...

Title says it. Both the classic and the new MK4. http://www.thermoworks.com/specials/ Edit to add - "today" is 1/7/16.

Title says it. I've always wanted to live in NC, but when I moved to IL (from central PA) to finish school, I did the one thing I swore I wouldn't do - met a girl from here and married her! We decided to stay in IL (western Chicago 'burbs) because her family is large and she couldn't imagine...

Just scored these from a client at work! Of course I'm no fan of BL, but for free - I'll take it. He's asking if he can get another one for me so that I will have one for each faucet on the keezer.

Yummy!

I made my keezer and adjusted the coarse adjustment screw on the stat per the thread on here. It worked fine for about 3 months, holding a steady 36-38 degrees. Then the other night I went to pull a pint, and nothing came out. Keezer was frozen! I unplugged it, let it warm back up to about...

I am expanding from two kegs (sankes) to four. I already have a dual manifold. I assume that I can just buy another dual manifold and then connect them with a nipple. Any reason not to do this, or should I just buy a 4 way manifold? I would rather not spend the money and then have a dual...

I want to meet this woman!!

So I finally got my CO2 tank and had it filled. I purchased the regulator and set up for two kegs from Kegconnection, so the whole assembly was already together. I connected this to the tank, made sure all the clamps and nuts were tight and turned it all on to 30 psi. First I left the...

I am working on a kegging set up and have a question about faucets. I am pretty much decided on Perlicks. I will most likely order a two keg set up from Kegconnection, but a friend got me a gift certificate to Brewmaster's Warehouse, and they show that they have the 525SS in stock. I haven't...

Hey guys - Somehow I missed the big group buy that is wrapping up right now. I do have an account at Mid-Country Malt so I can buy when I want, but to get the best pricing, I need to get at least 14 sacks. I have a few guys that need some grain, but not quite enough. Anyone else miss out and...

I have 12 - 14 oz each of Tett (4.4% AA) and Hallertau (6.4%AA) from 2010 crop. Sealed by me in one ounce pouches and kept in the freezer. Looking for about a dollar an ounce or trade for Cascade. Local only, will not ship. Send me a PM.

For anyone that missed the group buy that just closed, and you still want/need grain, please post here so that I can gauge the interest in opening up another buy. I know that I need at least 5 bags. Saw a few others that did not get in on the last buy, so I am hopeful.

At Label Peelers. He has 300 one pound units of pellets available. They are on sale through midnight tonight for $16.64, then regular price for $18.49. Very nice guy. I ordered 2 pounds of whole hops yesterday because there were no pellets available. When I saw pellets today, I called and...

Hey Chicago area brewers! I am getting ready to head down to Mid-Country Malt in 2-3 week. Anyone interested in piggy backing on with me? Just for example, Canadian 2 row is $39/55lb bag, Maris Otter is $55/55lb bag. I use a lot of C-120, and would be interested in splitting up a bag if...

Just bought a 4 pack yesterday (for $16 with tax :eek:!) and cracked a couple with a friend tonight. Wow! Talk about coffee! That is pretty much all I could taste. This is the first time that I have had it, and I was hoping for more. Mostly coffee, a hint of chocolate on the aftertaste and...
