From ebay: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Pressure-Transducer-Sender-Sensor-0-4-5V-Stainless-Steel-for-Oil-Fuel-Air-Water-/322488964981?var=511464069357 I'm looking to automate my electric brew rig using a raspberry pi and expanding on Craft Beer Pi. Does anyone here have experience with this...

Hi everyone, I have a chance to get a 25 gallon Polarware / BrewRite tri-clad pot at a decent price. I really like having bottom drains on all my equipment since it makes Clean In Place a snap. I want some opinions on soldering, braising, or welding a ferrule into this 1/4" / 5mm thick...

Hi everyone, I'm about to embark on a lambic project. I normally brew full volume BIAB and I'm piecing together a possible hybrid cereal / BIAB mash schedule. Grain bill: 35% raw wheat, 65% pilsner malt My tentative plan is to take my raw wheat and mash it on my stove in a separate pot...

Hey everyone, how to you think a Doppelbock with 100% Best Malz Dark Munich would turn out? I'm concerned it wouldn't be malty enough. Do you think that's unfounded? I brewed a Munich Dunkel with 75% of this malt before and it was fantastic. Hops will either be Hallertau or Spalt...

Hi all, I've been experimenting with cold brew coffee. I've been doing small batches (1L mason jar) trying to work out the kinks. Eventually I want a keg on tap but I have to get the process down pat first. Is anyone here cold brewing with success? If so, what's your process? Thanks.

Hey all, I'm about to use my new 14 gallon SS conical for the first time. I'd like to use my march 809 pump to fill it through the bottom 1.5" TC fitting through about 20 feet of 1/2" silicon tubing. Do you think the pump can handle filling it from the bottom, especially when it's nearly...

My steel control panel; well, actually this is a 10x10x4, I'm using an identical 12x12x6. Control Panel Box by Hot Pepper Daddy, on Flickr Should I use a steel backing plate?/ If so, how would I go about adding one? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I just kegged a low ABV (3.5%) version of Schlenkerla's Quaffable Irish Red (All Grain). This was a bit of an experiment in that I wanted to go from grain to glass pretty quickly due to a bit of a homebrew shortage. I brewed it last Sunday Jan 22, it only took a few days to...

Hey all, I have a keg of ESB that could use some dry hopping. I've read about making a hop tea with boiling water in a french press. Doing it this way I'd add almost a litre of water, diluting my beer. I was thinking of dispensing the same amount of beer from the keg, and heating it up on the...

I am thinking about using a electric keggle for BIAB. Like many, I'd prefer to use a stainless "bag" / basket instead of fabric. I can get my hands on a stainless 5 gallon pot for my basket. I may get two, cut and mate them, to make a taller basket. I would drill holes and cut slits in the...

Hey, all. I decided to build a simple electric flower pot smoker. It's almost done. Here's a link to my Flickr set for the build: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nspeppers/sets/72157626649568300/ I decided to build it without a PID for temperature control, at least to see how well I can...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here has ever cut a 15 gallon sankey key down to the 10 gallon mark, or anywhere lower than the skirt - clean in half. I'm building a small rig in my basement and only plan on doing 5 gallon batches. I have another 8 gallon vessel but I think I'll use it as my...

Hi all, I'm planning a fermentation chamber. Are there any threads here about taking apart a mini fridge and using the compressor, coils, cooling lines, etc, to integrate into a ferm chamber build? There are tonnes of builds here just using the fridge as-is with the door off but I'd like to...

Hi, I just got a new single guage regulator from hopdawgs and wondering if I can just chain it downstream off a T connector from my primary regulator's low pressure port. I would have the primary low pressure set for carbing and my second regulator set ot a low pressure. I guess the real...

Hey all, Does anyone here use the faucets from Simgo in Canada? The one's I'm talking about are chrome plated, not stainless steel. They will likely be way cheaper for me than to order Perlick 525ss faucets from the USA. Originally I was going to get some 525's but if the quality of the...

Hi everyone, I'm about to make this soda for about the 5th time or so, and the 3rd time as a 5 gallon batch in a corny keg. It's nice and light and the kids like it every bit as much as sprite or 7-up but it is definitely not a clone. If you want to test this on a smaller batch (2L bottle...

Hi all. I have been brewing since the beginning of the year with 4 batches under me (last two in primary right now). I've been reading HBT almost daily for almost a year, and have read Palmer's book, How to Brew. My first two beers finished stuck at 1.020 according to my hydrometer. Both...

Hi, I would like to try a partial mash with some flaked oats. I know that oats do not contain the enzymes needed for conversion and will need to mash them with some base malts for the conversion. My question is how many pounds of 2 row will I need to mash with 1 lb of flaked oats for...

Hi all, I am thinking of picking up a 50 litre SS keg to use as an electric brew kettle. Is 50L overkill for doing 5 gallon (~19 litre) batches? Thanks, -Rob

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about something and I wanted to run it by you. Right now I am using a 20qt SS pot on my glass top stove. It's a decent stove but I can only keep a boil going on about 2.5-3 gallons of water with the lid off, even with a towel duct taped around it (ghetto, I know, but...
