I follow this guy's YouTube channel for his historical culinary videos. He focuses on the late 18th / early 19th century, or the Regency Era. Much to my surprise he has produced a video on brewing! All you history buffs out there... ENJOY! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLxNWWeEAlw

I had an "Ah-Ha" moment when doing some pressure testing on kegs one day... after draining a bottle of CO2 pressurizing about 20 kegs to check for leaks, I built this little contraption. It allows you to perform pressure checks and push Liquid Line Cleaner through a draft system using...

I am really excited that my LHBS is now podcasting an informative series called "Come & Brew It! - Radio" I thought I'd post the links here for your edu-tainment! These podcasts can also be found on iTunes and Stitcher... NOTE: I'll simply edit this first post to include new episodes as they...

I picked up a new boil kettle from my LHBS, Texas Brewing Inc. www.txbrewing.com (yes, I work there as a part time job, yes... the shameless plug is over) These are great kettles, I've brewed on them before over flame. I'll be the first customer to convert one to an electric kettle...

So, not really a DIY yet. I plan to alter it to function more along the lines of how I intend it to function... i.e. Install an electric winch. I think this is going to be an AWESOME addition to my brewery! My company and department I work with now (for a few more days at least) got this...

Putting this here since it is a serving device... This weekend I followed through on a threat and actually built this Jockey Box I've been planning for a while. TONS of credit goes out to my buddy Jimmy Big Ears! He is a stainless coiling machine! The stainless coils well but is...

I have a Cornelius COR4025 regulator that I got used for free. I want to rebuild it and can't find a kit for it. Anyone have any leads on locating a kit?

Hey HBT! I'm proud to let you guys know that my LHBS has begun shooting their own informative online videos. I've been supporting Texas Brewing Inc. almost the entire time they've been in business. These guys are great and KNOW THEIR STUFF! Here's a link to their channel and I'll post their...

So, I got a little 10 foot section of 1/4 OD copper tubing and put some thought into it. Figured out how to coil that 10' length into a double helix coil that was only a little over a foot in length. I plan to place it in the flask as it boils the DME for the starter. That will sanitize it...

I have been using 2 stainless Chugger Pumps in my home brewery for almost 2 years. They each have the same numbers of hours on them. Recently, they have both been susceptible to chattering when the output valve is closed down at all. These pumps have never been dry-run. This is a new development...

Updated 6/27/14 for new information on fund raising campaign. Hey homebrew talk. I've started an organization called Homebrew For Heroes. (HB4H) and I need your help. This is a project to welcome home the service men and women coming home from war. To help raise funds for startup...

I fab'd this up yesterday after thinking about it for a little while. I get real annoyed with mixing up larger volumes of Star-San just to sanitize long products. Plus, it will be a great way to sanitize my new Dry hop screen I purchased from StainlessBrewing.com Picture and shameless plug...

This new airlock design promises to help impart unique flavors in your beer. This has been under development for quite a while... Glad to see they finally were able to release it to market. Link to MoreBeer's Site

I had a few extra cam-lock fittings laying around after my builds and though of a great way to put them to use! I put a female cam lock on my filtered water hose. That allows me to hook up a firm connection to any kettle and add filtered water. I also added a male cam lock to my CFC to hook...

I have the capability to ferment (3) vessels at 11-12 gallons each and I had an idea how to ferment them all three at different temps and with a little brain-storming help from my buddy, this is what I came up with.

I have some old spears left from my keggle builds. I am thinking of using one of the tubes from a spear but just wonder... how the heck do I go about getting that thing off those dimples that hold it on? I need as much length as possible on the tube so I don't want to cut it off just below the...

Just thought I would share over here in the DIY section since that thread turned into more of a DIY thread anyway... Not sure if a Mod could merge the thread over here or not??? Multi-Temp Ferm. Chamber

Ok... So, the awards ceremony was today for this competition. My team was comprised of me and 4 other guys. We are all relatively new to brewing but are fast learners and info-hungry to learn... In October, we had our live-brew competition. It is similar to Iron Chef on TV but with brewing...

A guy in my homebrew club is starting up a business called "Ohm Brew" His first product is still in development and I am actually lucky enough to be a beta tester. It is a single stage (beta version) programmable fermentation controller. It can be set up to do any fermentation profile you...
