I'm north of Lancaster and I ordered a coil from Stainless Brewing to match up with my current ports. I've decided I want to move the exit of the coil to the bottom of the keg for better drainage and cleaning. Anyone have a tubing bender or whatever you want to call it, guessing it's...

A couple things going on that prompted me to replace the elements - my 50A service seems to be stretched to the max when running both 5500W elements and two pumps on 220. It wasn't tripping the breaker, but things were smelling pretty hot in the spa panel. Second, it's been over a year since I...

Looking for a HERMS coil for my HLT. No special bends, just the two ends lined up for 90* elbow compression fittings. Ports are 13.5" apart and the current copper coil was formed around a ball lock keg. I'm thinking 25' x 1/2" should be plenty since I use a pump to recirculate the water during...

I had a bunch of ground venison in a vacuum sealed bag and it was enough to double my normal recipe. I was going to freeze the leftovers, but my mom suggested canning. Everything is fully cooked - meat, veggies, beans, etc. I used canned kidney, black, pinto, etc beans and never messed with the...

This is probably humor on this forum, just saw the link and was hoping for an interesting read, but I only got a laugh. http://shopping.yahoo.com/news/canned-beer-taste-test-211637286.html

Just curious if anyone does anything special when brewing in the cold to better maintain temps. I'm using Sabco kegs and running an eHERMS system and I don't recirculate very fast. Just curious/concerned I'm going to lose heat to the air temps in the teens and not pick it up fast enough from the...

I'm brewing batches making 10 gallons of finished beer into kegs. I haven't done anything that I'd consider high gravity since starting all grain and I want to confirm that I can tweak the numbers on MrMalty. Results indicate I need 3 vials of yeast in a 2.4 L starter for 11 gallons of wort...

BYO print and digital subscription is $33/year. I got a BOGO offer. First "I'll take it" can split the offer with a paypal gift to me for $16.50.

Brewed an attempt at Bell's Two Hearted Ale last night with the following grain bill: 18 lbs 2-Row 4 lbs Vienna 2 lbs Maris Otter 1 lb Caramel 20 1 lb Carapils https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/bells-two-hearted-ale-clone-close-they-come-91488/ Got late and I was lazy and tired...

I have 8 lbs of grain from a recipe I was going to brew as a partial mash that never happened. It was crushed, bagged, and sealed around Nov 22, 2011. It's been kept dry and never opened. Should I not use it for brewing? These are the grains: 2.00 lb Brewers Malt 2-Row (Briess) (1.8 SRM)...

Alright, the natural gas fired, RIMS Sabco Brew Magic converstion to e-HERMS is complete. I'm expecting to receive an order or ingredients for my first batch and I'd like to see how bad I can screw this up on Saturday morning. Never done all grain, only a few partial mash brews, and never...

Everything below is new, never used. I changed a few things along the way with my build or bought in bulk and have leftovers (connectors, wire wrap, zip tie mounts, etc) and I decided to use different contactors and 4 position fuse holders. Some of this stuff, I might be able to find uses on...

Found the source in my leaky pump. Need the piece with the "cup" that holds the shaft the impeller sits on. That cup is broken off the rest of that housing on my pump. They're over $100 bucks new and at that price, I'll just buy a new pump unless someone has a pump head or the part I need. Who...

I bought two 4" x 1/4" NPT probes and one of them I'd like to trade for a 1.5" x 1/2" NPT probe. They're about the same price, so I'd like to go straight up as this is new in wrapper. I've just changed where I'm going to use one of the probes and it requires the shorter version. Here's what I...

Alright, some of you may have seen the old thread, and after reconsidering what they had, my inlaws put a bit of TLC into the fridge and they're looking to get a few bucks out of it. It's nicer and lower priced than a number of comparable fridges on eBay right now. They're looking for $300. I...

I don't have a smoker, yet, or a dehydrator. I need some recipes for making jerky with sliced meat and ground, please.

I had a vial of White Labs WLP001 from a previous batch of beer that I decided to use a dry yeast for. It's been in the fridge for a few months and MrMalty said its vitality rate is 30-35% and would require two vials for anything less than a 2 liter starter. I don't have a big enough flask for...

I'm in the midst of converting a Sabco Brew Magic to electric and I have several holes to cut in the kegs for various couplings, tri-clover ferrules, etc and it seems one method of getting these holes cut in a clean fashion without making hole saws disposable is by using knockout punches. I...

Bought these to convert my Brew Magic to electric and they don't fit through the Brewer's Hardware Element Adapters, so I have to go with straight, non-ripple elements. Paid $35.38 plus shipping ($47.15 total) for the pair. These are not used, not screwed into anything, no juice through them...

Any time I try to open a thread from my list of subscribed threads, the app crashes. I can open threads in the Classifieds, but not the subscriptions. Any ideas? Anyone else having the same issue?
