So I am beating my head against the wall here gang. Maybe someone with the proper background can help or at least point me in the right direction before I give up and call an electrician. So here it is: Live in a townhouse. On the back side of the house we have a deck and a walk out patio...

First year cascades in a 20" pot. Having issues with yellow spots turning brown with the leaves and bines becoming fragile. Input is much appreciated

Ok. I'll try to keep this short and sweet: I have a two regulator setup. A high pressure right off the tank that feeds one keg and a second regulator. So i can run on high and one lower if needed. Its set up as so Tank -> reg 1 -> Hose -> Tee fitting -> one to reg #2 AND One direct to keg...

Have a quick question for all my brew siblings on HBT...Maybe someone has some insight. After being on "the dole" since last April (so not fun) I was offered and accepted an entry level management position with Wegmans. They have not told me this yet, but from what I could gather online this...

Ok scored an old regulator from a friend and also got a manifold of 5 regulators on ebay. I would like to set them up for my two keg system with the ability to force carb while running two kegs. Could someone help me with this puzzle. I have an idea of what to hook up but need some expert...

The Flavor - a malty, under carbed, flatness. Kind of like when you crack a bottle before its carbed up and you get an overwhelming flat maltiness even though the bottles are carbed. I also had very poor head retention and it seems to have poor hop aroma and bitterness (most likely due to using...

So just finished an Old Ale and something strange happened. My post boil gravity was extremely off. Asied from a sparge malfunction (aka el stucko spargo). I collected too much wort, about a 3/4 to a gallon extra, so I decided on a 90 minute boil to bring the OG back withing my planned range...

So I just DIY a stir plate and looked around and wasn't much on making your own stir bar. I see most purchase theirs online or from a hobby shop. I wanted to test and see if I could make a simple one. I do realize this is just me "winging it" and have had success so far in the testing phase...

Well I tasted my first two batches (both AG) again tonight a Bittier and a Dry Stout. Now I did taste/test them after 10 days in the bottle and then again tonight after 16 days. [relax Revvy I know 3 weeks at 70F] But I wanted to do some R&D as part of my growth as a brewer and to me sacrificing...

I want to thanks everyone here for all the threads, I’ve read more in the past month than I did in 5+ years of college. Well had my first Brew Day. Well Days really. I decided to be a bit ambitious and did back to back days. Wife had night shift this weekend at the hospital, so I was home...

So I saw these at my local WalMart a few week back. Thought they might be of some use. I was thinking of using them (the bigger one) as secondaries (doing 2.5g batches). From what I remember they are BPA free and are marked #1 or #2 (memory is foggy) Here Thought I'd share and see...

So frustaration is setting in and I haven't even brew my first batch. I posted a few day ago about issue with my glass/ceramic top range and the el cheapo pot (which will now be my MLT). Well the frustrations continue. I have almost all my other equipment except my BK. The burner is only 8" (GE...

I have an el cheapo SS 5g pot (for 2.5g batches). I'm in the midst of testing my equipment and noticed that I couldn't get 3.5-4 gallons over 205 F unless to lid was on. So I did what other have done before me and built a jacket for the pot. It helped speed up the time. Then I notice the...
