So I'm having a bit of an issue/concern with my electric heating element installed for my kettle. I have the heating element installed in a tri-clamp enclosure I purchased from NorCal Brewing Supplies. No issues wiring it up or anything like that... It also seals... But it unseals pretty...

So i'm planning on brewing a double IPA for a local whacky brewing competition. I want to use quassia bark for the bittering. I've made a tea with it and it will get the job done... maybe too much lol. I'm wondering if anyone has ever used quassia and, if so, how much do you think I should...

I've been eyeballing one for awhile because I like that it kind of has 2 purposes but then at the NHC I saw the RIMS addition they made for it and that added a 3rd use for it... SO long story short I would like to pick one up used and then get the rims add-on new for it... so It would obviously...

Just got back from a great NHC in Grand Rapids and I swung by O'Connor's to drop off entries for their upcoming competition and to pick up some of the West Michigan Ale Yeast. I know it's a clean american ale yeast from one of the breweries of west Michigan. I was thinking Bell's but it...

Just got home from an epic roadtrip with some friends from Detroit to Minneapolis with many stops in between... One of the locations we went was Stubby's Pub and Grub in Milwaukee. Upon entering it it just seemed like your typical 'beer bar'. Dimly lit with the bar full of people and a few...

Hello Fellow HBT Members, My name is Daniel Fick and the AHA Governing Committee elections are coming up soon and I decided to run. I'm very passionate about the hobby and I figure I should funnel that energy and excitement into an activity that can help improve the state of homebrewing for...

Well I couldn't really find the info anywhere when I was looking so I figured I would make a post. I had contacted MoreBeer regarding getting a replacement for the spring in the PRV of my counter pressure filler. I was told a part number (I could order it, but only via phone). The reason I...

Hello, I'll be traveling to Philly for the NHC via car from Michigan. I'm wondering where the best and cheapest place to park for the entire week would be? The conference hotel is a no go as it's $40 a day... lol I'm obviously not opposed to parking in 1 place and taking public...

Hello, So I have tickets to the NHC this year. I will be road tripping it with some friends. We will be crossing the entire southern half of the state (more or less I-76)... Any suggestions of places to check out? I know we'll be checking out Yuengling and Monks Cafe...

Hello, I have a 2.5lb aluminum co2 tank for sale. There is no valve on the tank. I took the tank in to get it recertified. The shop certified the tank in April 2011. While putting the valve back on the tank...they broke the valve. So now I have a 2.5lb tank that is certified and just...

Hello, I'm looking to buy a PIN or Firkin. I know northernbrewer sells them...but that's too rich for my blood.... PM me if you have one and are willing to sell it. Thanks.

Hello, I'm looking for a 90 degree or elbow thermowell w/ a Tri Clamp fitting. This is the closest thing I have found so far...but it's less than ideal... Looks like a tri-clamp is left in the fermenter.... Ideally it would just be an elbow. Brewers Hardware 20" Tri-Clover Thermowell My 14.5...

Hello, I have been brewing for a few years. I'm the current Vice President of the CRAFT Homebrew Club based out of Cap 'N Cork in Macomb, MI. I've won a few medals with my beers, but I'm always looking to improve.

So I bought a new conical and everything looks great on it....except for perhaps this weld at the very bottom of the conical. Now I don't really know what is a good sanitary weld and what isn't. There are some 'bumps' down there that almost look black when the flash isn't going off on my...
