Used March pump, as in photo's. I've used this for several years, upgraded my pump and don't need this. Shipping included. Sorry, didn't know photobucket has sold out. This is a march pump with the "plastic" head, side inlet and outlet, no stand or mounting bracket. I'll find somewhere...

This is my old electric keggle, worked great for about 4 years, just upgraded to a spike brewing 20 gallon kettle. Has element, element housing (Grounded), electric cord, RTD port (silver soldered) and RTD. Has wedless 1/2 port and valve, sight glass (silver soldered connection) with...

So this started in July 2015--made 5 gallons fermented on Roselare, added 10 gallons of similar wort fermented with a belgian blend and capped off the keg. . Was pleasantly sour by 12/2015. I bottled about 2 gallons and topped off the keg with 2 gallons of a blond belgian extract ale. I...

I haven't liked sour beers in the past, but this summer after having several Flemish old brown ales and a couple of really good belgian sours I decided to try making one. Read lots of interesting threads here, and decided to do a solera style. Bought a keg, and brewed 3 batches 1st was a...

It's been 5 years since I started brewing, and I like to do an experimental brew about once a year. Sometimes this works well others not so much (the one using purple sticky rice was horrible) This year decided to do a pair of high gravity/high alcohol beers. The light: 15 lbs 2 row 2...

I've been using a PID controlled boil kettle for BIAB brewing for a couple of years now, wanted to upgrade my control box. The Keggle is the same one I've been using for about 2 years now. The control box was previously a single PID in a huge Cutler Hammer electrical box, and looked odd to say...

I'm getting ready to bottle a brandywine after 6 months bulk aging. I'd like to put it in a more interesting bottle that a standard 12 oz, and don't really like the brown 16oz "belgian" beer bottle most retailers have. (I'd like to find 2 cases of empty St. Peters Porter bottles, but they...

New or not so new beer sport, see the Wall street journal article: http://www.americangermanclub.org/masskrugstemmen.html any one do this? Supposedly popular in Bavaria? t

LOML and my daughter took me to the tour at Aviator Brewery yesterday for Father's day. (http://www.aviatorbrew.com/shop/start There are just outside Raleigh in Fuquay Varina. Basically the "brewery" is a large newly built warehouse, with a pretty basic taproom as you walk in the door, which...

Tried to email smuttynose brewery, to see if they would give a few hints, but no luck. So I started with a "belgian" recipe that I've made several times, and added raisons. Started this recipe on 12/30/2010 and just moved to secondary. Tasted amazing, slightly raison, mildly bitter, little...

Thought I would post this, as I've used it several times now. This is made of scrap plywood, and a couple of blocks of scape cedar (its what I had) The aluminum piece on the top is held down with 3x 1.25 inch screws. Its job is to limits how far down the cheap corker pushes in the cork. This...

I'd like to start a collection of BIAB and/or No Chill recipes, ones that you have made (especially if made more than once). I'll start off with a maple porter that I've made at least 4 times in the last year: Maple Porter (partial grain): 1.5 lbs maris otter 0.5 lbs chocolate malt...

This thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f164/sweet-potatoes-amylase-enzymes-lot-interesting-possibilites-210086/ lead to more reading. Sweet potatoes have amylase (alpha and beta) in them, and a fair amount of starch. In africa, adding ground sweet potatoes to the sorgum mash significantly...

Found a bottle of Widmer Brothers Prickly Pear Braggot at my local grocery today. REALLY like this, and SWMBO really likes it too (and she doesn't like most beer). Can someone help with a clone of this? Googling suggests around 9pounds of malt to mash with around 1 pound of specialty...

It is possible to burn/scorch you wort with an electric element--I've managed to do it twice. Once with an attempt to do a 90 min boil, had the PID set at 85%.-probably too high, but didn't get burnt until it was over 60 min into the boil. The 2nd time was last night while making a pumpkin...

I've been using BIAB/ no chill for all grain brewing for a couple of months--converted a keg to an electric keggle with PID controller. Saturday I did 2 batches, attempting to get a higher gravity (brandy wine) and a mild. I was shooting for 10 gallons total, but wanted a milder brew at...

1 month ago I diluted 1 1/3 quart of maple syrup to 1 gallon, with an OG of 1.110, added yeast nutrient, and champagne yeast. Very active fermentation for about 1 week, then started clearing. Its now a pale gold color, SG down to 0.980. It still tastes sweet and slightly maple...

I started a 5.5 gal batch of graff on 3/3 2 pounds amber LME (added to 1 quart of water, boiled 20 minutes) 5 gal. apple juice Nottingham yeast (at 70 F) OG 1.070 Its down to 1.015 and has been stable for 4 days at this level. Its cleared dramatically in the last 3 days. If the...

I made a partial mash imperial stout last month (brew session was a total disaster) ended up with OG of 1.090. Because I did a late extract addition, IBU estimates are about 60 Its now down to sg 1.010 and very dry. (5 gal batch) (which gives ABV 10.6%) question is---add some lactose? I'm...

couple of week ago was making Thai food (purple sticky rice pudding) and decided to use some of the purple rice in a 2 gallon beer recipe: 1/3 coupe purple rice 1 lb pale malt 2 pounds pale LME 1/2 oz Hallertau (20 min boil) 1/2 oz (flame out) S-33 yeast Chill over night Boiled...
