I bought a Topsflo TD5 and then changed my mind in modifying my 10 year old build. I don’t care to return to store. This thing has never been plugged in and is NIB. $120 and I’ll ship it from 44718. Cheers.

This is a pictures of my first batch ever of homegrown hops. These are Nuggets. I grew Liberty as well, but they are slightly behind. I think a few in the picture below are a little "green" for lack of better terms. I was trying to pick them when the flowers start to lose their...

Here is my liberty hop. Diagnosis?

so don't use miracle grow plant food? i used this once originally in the spring and was going to use it again this weekend...

I have a similar issue going on with my hops. At the bottom of the plant, a few leaves are almost completely "holed" out and yellow. As you go up the plant (~15 feet long), when you get halfway, the leaves appear to be OK. As you go up from 0-7feet, you see the leaves appear to be somewhat...

whoops, you guys are correct, i meant 1.131

no, that's 1.310. don't have recipie on hand... ferm temp around 55 deg f... i think i need to pitch another pack of US-04 and if not, I should probably go with champagne yeast. the beer at 1.058 is very thick obviously. it's still fermenting, but very very slow... other ideas?

Hello, Started at 1.310 and right now is stuck at 1.058 (for probably at least 2 months now...). It's already been transferred from the primary to the secondary. Using US-04 Safale yeasties. Should I re-pitch another couple packs of yeast? Swirl around some with the airlock off to...

I tried searching and didn't find anything concrete on the subject, but what's the largest grain bill anyone has done in these mashers? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cheap-easy-10-gallon-rubbermaid-mlt-conversion-23008/ I would like to do this...

tiber_brew just getting down to this in my email. yes, i have a wiring diagram. i'll try and dig it up within the next week...

I am using spring water when I boil for priming. My first beer with home filtered water is on deck next, so we will see if that's the problem. I really think it's my priming sugar or water...

I use an auto siphon that I take apart and clean every time. I don't think it is this, but it could be happening during the racking process...

I love beer more than you can imagine, LOL. We are all members of the same pitfall here... I will try cleaning the kegs a little better next time. I am purging the headspace of O2 when kegging. I think on this latest batch, I am going to force carb with no priming sugar...

My latest beer I just transferred to the secondary will be going into the keg this weekend. I am going to test out this theory and see if it could be the case. I always thought that you aged them for 6-8 weeks though for the best, non-green taste...

I am using the brewclean one step sanitizer. I think a lot of people use this and I haven't heard of many problems.

Update - I am still having this problem. Kegs are clean. Poppets are clean. Water is natural spring water. I blanketed the top airspace with CO2. This was my last extract batch with spring water before moving to a filtered home water setup. I am not sure if it's good practice, but I put...

Scottish Ale... one day after making Honey Ale... 993+5=998

I am about to taste my first batch using my tap water and a filter system. I hope it's on par with taste because I am so sick of buying gallons of water and I know I don't want to build my own water...

Honey Pale Ale... another shot in the dark with no recipe... 939 + 5 = 944
