i am just finishing my second time using my Robobrew as my mash tun and it’s also the second time I have a stuck mash. I do not have this problem with my @wilserbrewer bags. In fact I transferred my mash out of the pipe and into the bag in my HLT, which now requires extensive cleaning. Is...

Greetings, Heading to St. Louis, MO, and then driving back through OK, North TX, NM, AZ, and back to SoCal. Please post your recommendations for what breweries my sister and I should stop at on our BeerVenture! Peace, Reevesie

This may be a “dumb” question, but can we use the Acid Blend commonly used by winemakers to acidify our water or add tartness to our beers? Can someone help me speculate what the flavor profile might be like vs. citric acid or lactic acid? Or the preservative properties it might exhibit...

Greetings! I have upgraded to an all-in-one for my mash tun and am going to let go of my 10 Gallon SS Brewtech Mash Tun with Recirculation Kit. All components are shown in the photos below, no hoses included they were seriously fugly. It's missing one of the feet, unless we figure out which...

I have a couple of 5/6G glass carboys and probably a dozen glass growlers, some from defunct breweries (collector's items?). Free to good home. No shipping, please. If you bring home brew, I can probably find some more stuff in the shed you can use that's free as well. I just want my...

Greetings! Anyone willing to trade a 6 of Iron City Lager for something from here in SoCal? I have no idea if it's good beer, but it's nostalgia for my dad. Peace, Reevesie

So I had originally put this aside for a buddy, but as he's going through a divorce, now it's up for grabs again. It includes everything you need to do brew-in-a-bag or if you add a cooler/bucket, you can do 3 vessel brewing with batch sparge. Sorry it got rained on the last couple of weeks...

Greetings, Did a search for this topic, but didn't come up with a thread for it. If you have a link, I'll take it. Q: If you have a canning system for your homebrew, which one and what are your likes/dislikes? I am thinking about getting one, and since they are all basically the same price...

2/3/22 EDIT!!!!! All items except the QuickCarb are now free to pick up or shipped at buyer's expense. I need the stuff gone, please. Greetings! Since I have been streamlining my process, I have equipment that is not going to get used. The little items I can ship at buyer's expense, but the...

Greetings! I am mashing in a bag (@wilserbrewer), in a standard three vessel system. I like the efficiencies of a finer milling, hence the bag, and I batch sparge with a solid bag squeeze at the end. As many do, I have used/use flaked grains bought from either the the LHBS ($$) or the grocery...

For what it's worth to you...

Greetings! So I am using my home-built glycol chiller for cooling wort to pitch temperature, temperature control during fermentation, and now for the first time, cold-crashing before transfer to the keg. It is a 5,000BTU window A/C unit with a cooler that is holding 7.5G of solution, 5G...

Happy 4th of July! I hope this is the right forum for foolishness of this sort, but I was wondering: what is the punchline for your favorite Dad joke? I’ll start, “My God, that’s moose turd pie! It’s good though.”

I didn't search for answers, because I want something other than necroposts. I took the remainder of the lemons off our tree today; zested them all and then juiced them. So, what do I have for my hours of hand and arm pain? 6# of lemon zest and 2 1/2 gallons of lemon juice. I am not counting...

I am cleaning out the shed of redundant, extra, or unused equipment (some of this was listed on a previous post, but I am dropping the prices on those items). I am willing to ship, but buyer pays shipping (shipping from 90501). Feel free to make an offer, I need the space. SS BrewTech...

Has anyone used one of these as an ice/glycol chiller for their fermentation systems? It says it cools to 40F below ambient, which would be 40-50F in the summer for me and less in the winter; but I do ales, ciders, and wines, so keeping things at about 60-65F is what I am shooting for.

So I am slowly moving in the direction of a 3V system from the modified propane-based BIAB (w/MT) I have been using. I love the simplicity of BIAB, and I am planning on using the bag as a grain filter for my batch sparging instead of raining water on the grain bed. It's a good system, I get...

Greetings! I have finally assembled the list of extra equipment after upgrading my brewing process. What I have available is: SS Brewtech 10 Gallon Mash Tun with Sparge Arm__$200 CO2PO Double Body Regulator__$50 SOLD (3) Three 5 Gallon Ball-Lock Kegs__$50 each SOLD DudaDiesel Plate Chiller...

Greetings! I have spent the last couple of months upgrading a lot of my brewing process, so if you want to get into brewing, know someone who wants to get into brewing, or want some of this stuff and part out the rest, have at it. The kettle and the immersion chiller I have used at least 2x a...

Okay, Community, here goes. The last two batches I have made (1 lager, 1 APA) both have come down with the same off flavor. Dull, cardboardey, faintly metallic, essentially nasty. Lagering does not help. I poured the lager into the garden after almost 6 weeks of no change, but the APA is new...
