Question for you guys, I'm doing a ten gallon nut brown tomorrow, and came to realize I only have one packet of S-04. I have a packet of Muntons as well, and while I would like to pitch two packets, I'm curious how mixing the two would work. I thought about doing a starter, but I know...

A year or so ago I built a ferm chamber from some 2x's and plywood. It's cooled with an old air conditioner and measures about 3.5ft tall, 5 feet wide and 3ft deep. It's perfect for my sanke fermenters and larger bucket fermenters. The lifting sucks, but I get by with a little help from my...

I just picked up an ace rotomold conical with a 2" drain and am trying to figure out the best way to go here. I would like to harvest yeast, so I can see the benefit to having a larger diameter at opening, but 2" ball valves are a bit beyond what I want to pay. Is there any reason I couldn't...

Looking to do a paintball tank conversion for a small traveling corny. I am looking for a Regulator, either one or two gauge it doesn't matter, and the universal fill adapter to convert. Thanks!

Looking for something to use with a 3 gallon corny that's easy to travel with. Edit: After some thought, I'm mostly looking for items to use in a paintball tank conversion. At this point that is everything but the tank itself. List: Universal fill adapter CO2 primary regulator, one or two gauge

Hey guys, I'm looking for a smaller, used corny. Something along the 2.5 to 3g size, for a reasonable price, if that's possible! Thanks and merry Christmas!

I just converted my keggle to electric, but did so without really testing the filter I had in place to filter out the hops. I'm using a stainless braid, a larger diameter one, that is about 12 inches long. I have a copper tube pickup that comes off the coupler, runs straight for a few inches...

Hey guys, I am in the process of switching to a 5500 watt element in my brew kettle. I was hoping I could just let it run full bore and not have to orry about boilovers, but I'm beginning to see that might not be the case. What I'm wondering about is if there is a way to manually control the...

Looking for a Sabco, or something that will work equally as well, used preferably, or cheaper than new! Would appreciate any leads, thanks!

I really enjoyed the Ruthless Rye IPA I've been drinking lately, and thought to give a try at a close representation of it. Mind you, I don't want it to be exact, I just really enjoyed the very peppery notes it gave, and would like to try something similar. Mash is the standard light body...

Any reason a thermowell couldn't be made using closed ended beer line? I have some ideas, but wanted to see what you guys think.

Hey guys, just picked up a Chugger pump and have a question regarding sparging. Should I vorlauf prior to pumping through for the larger chunks, is some husk, etc, not a big deal?

I've been gathering Midwest Supplies gift cards this past christmas, and have been saving for a pump. Unfortunately, my Dad got the Midwest site confused with Monsterbrew and gave me a gift card that I can't really use. while the site has some very nice things, they don't carry pumps, which is...

I'm looking for two Perlick SS faucets, used, new, however I can get them. I need to finish out the last two spots on the Keezer and thought I'd offer to put some cash in the pockets of those of you here, as opposed to a brew store. If anyone has any, please just post here and I'll get back to...

Any thoughts on the recipe, anything you think should change? I might be subbing the Simcoe for Centennial, given the lack of Simcoe available right now, but we'll see. More curious about the grain bill though. I want something that will be incredibly hoppy, but will have the body to make...

I've decided to undertake the journey of putting together a HERMS unit. I'm not expecting this to happen quickly, and in fact, I'm expecting to piece it together over the next year, hopefully doing it in a fashion that allows me to make use of parts of it as I go. At this point, have three...

Hey guys, trying to brew a larger vanilla porter. I have done one batch so far, and was moderately pleased with the turnout, but have a few things I would like to change. The initial recipe is: Type: All Grain Date: 2/12/2011 Batch Size: 6.00 gal Boil Size: 7.50 gal Boil Time: 60 min...

I just kegged a Robust Vanilla Porter 2 days ago, and realized I didn't lay a CO2 blanket in the tank prior to filling. I was careful not to allow the beer to stir/oxygenate too much while filling, but I guess my questions is: Should I crack the keg, rack to a bucket, purge the O2 from the...

Ok, I have been through 2 "practice batches", the first was a european style light lager. I am not usually a fan of this particular variety, but figured it would be a wonderful starter. The second was an Octoberfest, more my style, and a batch I am really looking forward to. I'll note that...
