I am thinning out my gear, and just listed this on Craigslist. Figured I'd get the work out here at HBT, too. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/hsh/d/ss-brewtech-7-gallon/6533960905.html Rich

When I've been in Maui, I have really enjoyed Maui Brewing Company's Mosaic Mo' Betta DIPA. Unfortunately, they don't ship this brew to the mainland (well, they did once, according to their distribution manager), so I'd like to try to recreate it. The spec sheet on the website gives some clues...

I finalized my recipe for the inaugural run of my Timwater IPA (have a good friend and IPA drinking buddy who is named Tim, from Tumwater.) Going for all "traditional" Yakima Valley hops, as opposed to my usual Amarillo loaded stuff. Here's the recipe: Batch Size: 5.25g Est OG: 1.059 Est...

I know that this is dependent on a lot of variables, but wondering if any of you who use this pot could let me know what your boil off rate is? I'm going to use it for the first time today as my BIAB pot (usually it's my HLT), so I don't have any previous brews to guide me on expected boil off...

Apparently I need to pay more attention when racking, as my IPA that I legged last week (force carb) has a TON of hop particulate in it! I know it will settle and clear eventually, but if I get the itch, is there any reason why using gelatin now ( post-carb) would not work out well? The good...

So, I've got my first batch of Yooper's Oat Stout in the fermenter. Since I can't leave well enough alone, I want to try adding some coffee to this one. I'd like to split the batch (5g) in half, so I can have 2.5 gal of unadulterated YOS, and 2.5 gal with added coffee to compare. Here's my...

Ok, this one is stumping me.... I have a two tap kegerator. I'm using the 3/16" line that came with it, I'd guess about 4' lengths. I have 525S faucets. I currently have one 5g keg and one 3g keg on tap. One faucet pours fine, no foam with both kegs. The other faucet pours about 1/3 of a...

I think I'm pretty good with the grain bill, but open to suggestions to the hops. I was going for a brew that used some of the most popular, quintessential Yakima Valley hops. I haven't used Mt Hood much, and have heard it's pretty subtle, which is why I used the ratio I did compared to the...

Wanted to check and see if anyone on HBT is using this set up, and, if so, what are your thoughts? I'm looking at adding a 7gal Chronical with the FTSS add-on. The one thing that I wanted to get some input on is the cooling/heating performance of the FTSS with partial batches. I want to be...

Lots of new stuff going on today. First time BIAB. New Bayou Classic "kettle" (will be my HLT, but was my mash/boil pot today.) New-to-me recipe. About 2 years ago, I bought a Wilser bag with the intent of playing around with BIAB. Well, life (and laziness) got in the way, and I didn't...

I guess, since it's a holiday weekend and my kids are out of school, this is an oddly named beer to be brewing today! :) This is my cobbled together recipe for a session IPA, and this is the first time I'm brewing it........and my first brew after a two year hiatus! School's In Session -...

To the dismay of my lovely wife, I'm contemplating diving into trying my hand at making cheese. :) Getting way ahead of myself as I do some reading, I was giving some thought to a cheese press. I have a couple of old Enterprise, hand crank sausage stuffers, and I'm thinking to myself that...
