For Sale - $2800 **local pick up near Akron, OH only**additional pictures upon request** As sad as I am to say it, with my lack of time and decreased passion to brew, I’ve made the decision to sell all off my home brewery. I literally have everything you would need or want to start one badass...

Hi all, I'm planning on attempting my first partigyle brew this Sunday. An imperial IPA and a session IPA. I've done some reading in Gordon Strongs book, but am having trouble setting up the recipe. I'm using iBrewMaster, if that helps. 1) how do I figure out how much water for the first mash...

This was the single worst brew day of my brewing career... So i brewed my holiday ale yesterday, well I attempted to at least... I just bought a hop rocket, and I was stoked to use it to spice my holiday ale. I used my hop rocket for the first time, and did a couple upgrades to my HERMS single...

Okay, I just bought a Blichmann Hop Rocket to use as both a hopback and a randal. That being said, the first brew I plan to use it with is a holiday ale. My thought is to use the spices (vanilla bean, cinnamon sticks, coriander, etc.) in the hop rocket along with an ounce of whole leaf hops to...

So I am ordering a cartridge filter this week to use as both an occasional filter and also as a Randall. Obviously I want to do a pale ale or an ipa and pour over whole leaf hops, but I'm trying to think of other options of what to fill it with. I want to try a stout and pour over coffee beans...

Hi guys, I just thought I would share this deal with all of you in case anyone know someone who might be getting into brewing! My LHBS sent out this living social deal, a complete start up kit and a recipe kit for $60...

Just assembled my single tier stand, and I was testing it out and I can't seem to get a blue flame on my burner. It is just a big yellow flame. I adjusted the valve on my burner, on the regulator coming off the tank, and the air flow into the back of the burner, all it does it make the yellow...

I ordered a low pressure hose from Amazon and for some reason they shipped it to a different state. I just finished my single tier stand and am anxious to brew. Is it possible to take the high-pressure hose off of my propane burner and use it for the low-pressure cast iron burners on my stand...

Hey guys, I have this Magic Hat Roxy Rolles tap handle that I'm looking to sell. I bought it not too long ago and then had some custom handles made, so it's just for show now. Figured maybe one of you guys could put it to better use. It is metal with a large glass ball on top with a ribbon and...

My New Year's Resolution is to enter a couple brews into a few competitions this year, and a question just clicked in my brain. So I have a Blonde Ale that I'm quite fond of, however, it falls WAY outside of the IBU range. According to my brew software, it lists it at 98 IBU. I was calling it...

A buddy of mine is quite a talented sculptor, and I made a deal with him that I'd make him a couple batches of beer if he made some custom handles for me. My bar is named Copperpots, from the 80's movie The Goonies. So I try to keep stuff pirate themed. I told him I just wanted maybe a bone or...

I built a counterflow chiller several months back, and after doing some random poking around on the interwebs, I noticed some other people are chilling their wort differently than I am. I just drain the hot wort through the CFC and into my fermentation container. But I noticed some people...

I'm in the process of building my single tier system. Everything is ready but the stand! I just got my keggles done last week, so I figured I'd start my build post. Any comments and feedback is welcome! The keggles still need polished, but they're functional. :tank: From left to right: Boil...

Have inherited these beer stines, hitch have German writing on them, and I have no clue what they say! Google searches are coming up with nothing either. Can anyone translate?

I took the Pliny the Elder clone recipe off of Brew365. Has anyone tried that recipe? I’ve yet to try the original since it’s not distributed in my area, so I figured I’d try the clone until I got my hands on the real stuff. I just wanted to check the validity of the clone...

Anyone on the west side of Cleveland area interested in trading off beers for honest feedback?

I have been brewing AG for about a year and a half and I have been using the same equipment the whole time (cooler MLT, 40qt pot). For the first year I was getting efficiencies in the high 70's and low 80's. For about the last 8 batches, I am struggling to hit 70%, and I have NO clue why! I can...

I have a friend who just built his cooler MLT and he made a CPVC manifold that has the holes drilled into it. He is getting pretty low efficiencies, like he is having a very hard time hitting 75%. Could it be because of how large the holes that are drilled in the manifold are? They are about...

So, I was just thinking... Is it possible (or safe) to use an electric carboy heater from NB, and put it in my chest freezer with a Johnson controller? The problem is my chest freezer is in the garage, and Cleveland winters can be brutal, so the chest freezer alone gets WAY too cold. Would...
