So with the notification of the demise of BrewToad at the end of the year our clubs webmaster and I were kicking around the possibility of spinning up our own instance of BrewBlogger for our club. Admittedly BrewBlogger hasn't seen a lot of updates in the past few years, but there seems to be...

I might make a seperate post about this but though I would share here. Noticed an issue with brewtoad beerXML recipe export. In the fermentables section they may have the following types: Grain Adjunct Dry Extract Sugar Base Malt Kilned Malt Liquid Extract...

Entered. But there was no obvious feedback that my entry was accepted. Might have clicked the button twice, but no "you are already entered" message...

Brain fart, was looking at the previous posters join date.

The LHBS I part time at gets CO2 cylinders from a fire safety company that re-purposes them from old fire extinguishers. You can certainly swap out the valve and you should be able to get it re-filled. You might need to get a CO2 sticker for the tank like this or the gas company may not fill it...

I have a side gig at a liquor store that caters beverages for weddings/corp events/etc. We have 18 single and double jockey boxes with coldplates. Due to the amount of resistance in the plate itself adding more resistance with smaller tubing is not advised. Even with 7/16" lines feeding the...

Good article. I think a nice malty scotch ale would be a good candidate for nitro as well.

Used to have a BC in the shop I part-time at. After about 18-months of homebrew shop use we wore down the knurling enough that it just did not want to grab the grain very well. We bought a second set of rollers that lasted another 18 months or so. Finally we upgraded to a crank-n-stein 328D...

C-brite used to be marketed as a cleanser/sanitizer, somewhere along the way the rules around calling something a sanitizer changed and rather than pay to certify it everywhere they opted to start calling it a cleanser. Here is a relevant post from stack exchange. It is chlorine based so while...

I'll be there, first time, very excited.

I know the monster guts wiper motor is 50-70 INCH-lb of torque not ft-lb. http://www.monsterguts.com/store/product.php?productid=17685

Couple of thoughts, You are trading speed for torque. may or may not be an issue depending on your motor. The ability of the rollers to grab the grain, especially after the "new" wears off and the knurling is a little less sharp. Grabbing the grain is less effective at higher speeds. The...

IIRC most 3L bottles have a wider mouth than 2L bottles. I don't think that carbonater cap will work, heck where I live we never see 3L bottles, I have to go back to where I grew up to see them. There is no reason you couldn't stick with what you have in post 2 and if you want two or more off...

Yeah, what he said. Sorry I doubted the op.

Ya' know, if the hoax was started by a northern brewer competitor this is the type of response they would be hoping for. I hope no one would let this rumor push them over the edge...

Checks calendar, nope not April 1st. This is silly, AB/InBev/SAM/satan can already get their supplies, any supplies, far cheaper than NB buys at. Does not pass the smell test yet turned into a 123+ post thread. Urban legend at it's finest. :rolleyes:

The composition of the grist can effect the pH of the mash, sometimes by a great deal. Generally you would check the pH just after dough in and then adjust with either acid, or acidulated malt/saurmalt.

you could push the stout with a nitro mix at the higher pressure to get it the distance without over-carbonating. You would likely want to force carb the beer with straight CO2 then switch to beer-gas for dispensing. I'm guessing, but it is an educated guess ;)

What brand of root beer extract? What exactly tasted "off" Some thoughts: 1. use champagne yeast 2. try 3/4 tsp. rootbeer extract + 3/4 tsp cream soda extract. :) 3. cool dark place may still not be cool enough to cause yeast to go dormant, if it seems carbonated enough refrigerate, otherwise...

This is what you wanted: https://www.kegworks.com/3-cooler-coupling-with-washers This is a bulkhead fitting threaded for standard beer nut, basically a shank without the faucet connection on one end so you could connect both lines to either end.
