Hey fellas did not wish to wreck this topic. New to homebrewing ( 4 months) and did not read the 9 pages of stuff. Wish I had something to offer but I am bare essentials. Sorry for the post but love the love on this room. I will post again if I have something to pif. Message received! Thanks to all who let me know. Obvious u were also on this page for a reason and took it upon yourself to cut someone down when the chance came. Thanks and hhb
 
^ X green. We did pile it on but I reckon you had it coming. You can order a new grain mill for a couple hundred bucks.
Meanwhile since you're just getting started there are likely other small things you can do to improve your efficiency till you can afford a mill. This site is a great resource. It's all at your fingertips.

Don't get all caught up on efficiency anyhow just make beer. Add a bit more grain to bump it up if your a little light... Cheaper than going though the hassles of trying to figure out what you're doing wrong. I stopped taking a gravity reading on my mash because it made me crazy... Heck most times to don't even take a starting... I just let all my beers sit a good 2 months before I keg. Check the aih mill, cheap and works well I'm glad I got one not for efficiency but I can buy bulk sacks now. If I hit the shop on a sale and buy bulk hops I can make most beers for less than $20.

I started out just as theck stated, and I quote "Just make beer.". I did not even take a gravity reading until my 5th or so batch. I was getting my process down.
 
I've never tried them but I'm trying to expand my hop knowledge. If no one else got them yet I'd like to give it a whirl. Now I need to search for something to put on here...eventually!

Shipped the hops on Tuesday and threw in a homebrew. Check your pm for tracking info. Enjoy!
 
I have 4oz Falconer's Flight and 4oz Cascade from Farmhouse Brewing Supply. They're unopened, vacuum sealed. I believe they are from 2011. I'd forgotten about them in the back of the freezer. Have been in the freezer since i got them. I'm unlikely to use them any time soon so figured I would give them away to a good home. They've likely lost some potency but should be fine to brew if you use a little extra. I'll even cover shipping if both packs go to the same address. Or someone can pick them up in Chicago. PM me.
 
I will take the hops, likely I will have stuff to add to this page to the near future as I upgrading lots of equipment in near future.
 
Never got my diy manifold to work, so if anyone needs a manifold, check valves, plugs, I'd just ask you pay shipping. I could probably get it into the small usps box.

Check valves have been claimed but I still have the manifold.
 
I have an extra 12" stainless steel screen bazooka. New in the package. I ordered two when they were on sale. Never used the second one.

Just pay shipping. Will fit in medium flat rate box for less than $12.00

Let me know if interested.




Bazooka claimed.
 
I have a basic black capper up for grabs. I recently upgraded to a red one so I can swap out the capper bell and cap euro bottles with the larger caps.

The capper was sent to me for free by a generous member of this site when I was getting started, so I figure it's only right to pass it on to another home if anyone needs it.

Like he said above, bargainfittings is the best price I've seen. I ordered some last week, fast shipping!


Brewinternational.com has high temp 1/2 silicone tubing for 1.55/foot. They've got some excellent prices on a lot of stuff and I've been pretty pleased. Was initially pretty unsure as the site has basically no reputation, but I've ordered from them several times now and been pleased with both prices and products.
 
Any new pay-it-forward offerings. I'm a newb looking to build my gear, and want to transition from pails to carboys. Also looking for a wort chiller and burner.
 
Yeah, there's not much used stuff in my area at reasonable prices. I stalk it pretty regularly.
