I want to get a min fridge to use a ferm chamber with a stic-1000 build. It will be getting hot and want to move my carboy from my closet into the garage. I already have a keezer and really don't want another chest freezer as usually do 1 brew at a time. What do you use for a min fridge and...

Got my first all grain brew under my belt. It turned out pretty good, but looking for a change on next batch. It is lacking the orange and coriander flavor that I rember when did extract and partial brews. I used a paint strainer for hops and additives, but think should just dump in...

So I just started brewing all grain and switched over to kegging at the same time thanks to my new garage. I am still waiting to put my new stc-1000 together this weekend, but have been plugging in the freezer to keep it cold. I checked the beer after 2 weeks in there with a 11 psi. The...

Hi guys, Putting together my keezer and I think I ordered the wrong temp controller. It looks like the stc 1000 but it is clearly not the same. In my haste, I found a link from someone and just pulled the trigger. It was cheap enough from china, so I really have no desire to ship it for a...

I have brewed this so many times and it only gets better with age. I think this lasted 2 months once and seemed to taste the best. The CEO of my wife's work wanted to actually fund me to start my own brewery with this beer. Ingredients Amount Item Type % or IBU 6.00 lb Amber Dry Extract...

Just started kegging and need some guidance. I have a 20lb tank, dual regulator and 4 way manifold. Obviously my first keg will be pressurized fine, but what do I do about my 2nd keg when it is ready. Ideally a double regulator or second tank would be ideal, but I don't have the dough to get...

I got a water profile before I filter my water with a .5 micron filter. Should I be adding anything to it for a oatmeal stout or Belgian Wit recipe. I tried to read all about it and probably can figure it out, but it bores me and I figure there are smarter people than me out there. see attached

I am getting into kegging and collecting all my equipment. Trying to look for deals. Would this tank be a good deal? I am not sure if it is filled, but the price seems right. What should I look for on this tank? I am guessing they are all pretty standard and you hook up the regulator and...

Hi all, I just started putting together my equipment to make the shift from kitchen extract and partial brewing to all grain. I came across a free burner and stand that was a little rusty, but I manage to clean it up pretty good. It looks like a standard cast iron burner, but I don't know...
