Hi all, I'm getting ready to move and I'm sell off some of my brewing equipment. To save time and space, some of the items are already listed on Craigslist here: Craigslist Items. Additionally, I have: SOLD 11 gallon electric (110v) BIAB system with custom SS Basket from Utah Biodiesel, Chugger...

TN, USA, and thanks Inkbird for the opportunity! Ed

Hi Carl, Thanks. I've learned a lot from this community over the years, so it's my small way of giving something back. Ed

Hi all, It's been a long time since I've posted. I'm cleaning out my garage/brewery and came across two (one left) G30 Grainfather control boxes that are excess to my needs. One is the original control box (NOT connect,) the other is a series 1 Connect Controller. I'd like to pay forward to...

Hi Inkbird, Thanks for the generous offer! I'd really like to get the two probe version. Ed

Hi rstrider, While I respect that you think the IBUs may be a little high, this beer, even at 25 IBUs is definitely not a Pale Ale, and nowhere near an IPA. Depending on your tastes, if it's a little too hoppy, you may want to consider changing the hop schedule so you can adjust the bitterness...
