Need to get my new Foundry wired up. I have been looking at GFCI breakers for my panel and apparently the GFCI breaker is about $140. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ECKLKBM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1QRT0RAXAWMKI&psc=1 Panel is Eaton CH type. I see there are also inline GFCI's which...

I just picked up a new Anvil Foundry 10.5 with a 6-15p 240v plug. I was planning to use my existing 14-50 outlet (that my PHEV charger is plugged into) with one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HX9JCC4/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=A1UO2GJ291VXKR&psc=1 however, I'm getting...

Hi all, I am considering picking up a beverage center to help control fermentation temps for my SS Brewbucket. I'm sure there are advantages to using an Ink Bird but I was curious exactly what they were. What do you gain by using a temp controller versus the one in the fridge?

I have recently started to like the sours and have come across Lagunitas Aunt Sally. they describe it as "A Unique Dry-Hopped Sweet Tart Sour Mash Ale. We soured the wort on the Hot Side with Lactobacillus for a few days and then brewed up this smooth and hoppy sour. It tastes like a big bowl...

I'm not talking about a whole bunch of hops, maybe a couple 3-4 lbs, but I would like to get away from paying the LBS prices per oz for the next handful of brews. I like IPAs and lighter beers mostly - wheats, wits, cream ales, etc. Although I'm not opposed to darker beer occasionally...

I came across this ad on Craigslist. Is this ok to use? Anything I need to be aware of or on the lookout for? "BULK Orange Blossom HONEY - 55 GALLONS - $2 We bought a barrel of Orange Blossom honey and the heating unit malfunctioned and the honey is no longer "raw" as it was heated to 140...

So I took apart the connectors to one of my leg lines, put them to the side, and the wife moved them and they are now MIA. So I need to order replacement parts, but I'm not sure what they are called. On the part that attaches to the keg, there's a spring and a plastic part inside, and then...

Hey all, I was going to brew the following Belgian Wit recipe this weekend https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=24978&highlight=belgian but thought I might like to go towards a white IPA style. Do I just need to add some hops maybe at the 30 and 10 minute marks? I don't...

While its not super expensive, it's a bit of a trek up to the store to pick up 6-7g of spring water and the price does add up a bit. What is the best bet to stop having to do this? One, I think, is to buy a carbon block filter that most of the brew supply places sell that hook up to your...

I've read several threads but still am a bit confused. I see that people split them and scrape the insides. And then soak in vodka or something to help with the extract and sterilization. Are you just using the outside of the bean at that point? do you throw away all of the middle stuff...

I have a hoppy wheat that's been in the fermenter for 4 days. Unforunately, this was a smaller 3g batch and it looks like I didn't tighten down the spiggot tight enough and I lost about a gallon and a half of beer. Besides lowering the alcohol level a little bit, is there any other ill...

I recently formatted my PC drive and installed the OS fresh. Before I did this, I made a backup of my BS data. I've now downlaoded and activated BS again. I can load my backup file (Open File) and see everything find, but when I close and re-open BS the next time, they are are gone and I have...

I brewed a Pumpkin Ale a while back. When I moved from the fermenter into the keg, I hardly got any of the pumpkin spice, so I threw in a little more pumpkin spice into the fermenter just before I transferred to the keg. I am a little worried that its not all fully mixed in the keg. The keg...

When I started brewing, I did a couple of the std 5g extract kits. After 3-4 of those, I've moved to BIAB and continued on with 5g batches. Being all excited in this new hobby, I was brewing several times per month and suddenly I had 2 kegs and cases and cases of bottles filled and realized I...

I did a little reading and found out that most don't fully break down their kegs in between each fill. I've got 2 kegs, still in the fridge, that just ran dry and I need to transfer new beer in. For cleaning, is it as simple as spraying it out, maybe running some clean water thru and then...

I was looking around the web for a snickerdoodle recipe. I found this one, and was planning to make it soon http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/258169/jack-s-snickerdoodle-cream-ale but then I noticed there were 21lbs of grain and lactose in there. Does that seem like a bit...

So I made a Little Sumpin' Sumpin' clone a bit back, with a whole bunch of hops, both in the boil and dry hopping. I'm wondering if I made the mistake of bottle conditioning in my garage in the summer in FL. I have no idea what the temps would get to in there, but it's probably up there...

Was looking at a receipt that uses WLP029, which I"ve never used before. http://beersmithrecipes.com/viewrecipe/17560/brulosophers-best-blonde-ale In one of the reviews, I saw this: GREAT BLONDE! Fermented primary 7 days, secondary 21 days, all @ 70 degrees, bottled w/ cane sugar and...

I bought a container of these, just for the heck of it. Could these be used in place of cocoa nibs placed in the fermenter? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007T3UL78/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

I went to the brew store and bought ingredients for these today; Citra DIPA - Wyeast 1087 (sub for WLP001); target OG 1.073 Oatmeal Stout - US05; target OG 1.068 On the way home I was reading the Wyeast packet which said its fine for up to 1.060 and another packet might be needed for over...
