My brother-in-law has recently caught the brewing bug and is looking to learn how to brew. He's been researching like crazy and is quite into learning how to brew, but has yet to make a beer. I've invited him over to show him the process and asked if there's any style he'd like to make. Well...

So I've been looking into plate chillers and see the maximum length on most "homebrew" chillers is around 12 inches. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes longer chillers for homebrew applications? I know Duda sells their 32, 52, and 95 series chillers; brazetek has similar ... little...

So I recently fabbed up a set of immersion chillers … thought I’d pimp them out. I was leaning toward a plate chiller, then saw this thread Great price on copper coil at home depot. $15.03 per 50' roll! :ban: Used two 50’ rolls of 3/8" tubing, soldered 1/2" uprights, 1/2" FNPT...

... for my birthday. It's chilling now, looking forward to trying it later. Funny thing is I rarely try anyone else's beer ... Maybe twice since I've started brewing. Anyone else rarely/never drink other folks' homebrew?

I received an e-mail from Morebeer today ... apparently they're now selling Kent quick disconnects. Has anyone used these? They're food safe and can handle temps to 250 degrees. One handed operation, quarter turn to lock. The price is right, too ... $2.85 - $3.60 each. Looking at Kent's...

I'm having some trouble finding comprehensive threads on making sparkling water. I've searched and searched and don't see any stickies in this area ... hoping the soda-making folks here could point me in the right direction. I have a kegerator and CO2 distribution system. I'm basically...

The title says it all ... I'd like to get a look at your battle-worn, used stand. I've see a bazillion pics of fresh paint and polished stainless ... I want to see what your stand really looks like. Hoping to get some info on how heat from your burners affects your stand. I'd like to see how...

With winter nearly here, I need to find a way to heat my ferm chamber. I'm using a 17-cubic foot upright freezer and a Johnson A419. I've been eyeing the Lasko MyHeat Personal Heater as it pulls only 200 watts. I'd use this along with a fan to circulate air in the chamber. I see a few...

I recently fabbed up some dip tubes and whirlpool fittings for my keg kettles, thought I'd share some pics. I wanted to prevent bottlenecks in my system, so I decided on 5/8" OD tube. The tubes are constructed out of 5/8" stainless tube and fitted to 5/8" stainless compression fittings...

I'm currently brewing two beers and am seeing some interesting ferments: Carboy 1 is a standard pale ale I've brewed dozens of times. I'm using Wyeast 1332 - Northwest Ale for the first time (I normally brew pales with US-05). The beer fermented great for a week, but the krausen head never...

See, even SWMBOs can love the fermentation chamber. She needed flower storage, I dialed the chamber down to 38, figured I would cold crash. Now that's teamwork!

Seems its ferm chamber frenzy here on HBT so thought I’d jump on the bandwagon. Here’s my build … I started with a 17-cubic upright, frost-free freezer that I got off craigslist for $100 (Kenmore, Model # 253.21721103). The unit was built in 2002 and is in awesome condition. I decided to go...

I’m in the process of moving to all-grain and have been fabbing up a new brew kettle, MLT, and HLT from kegs. I recently cut my kegs and built a custom false bottom … thought I’d post my progress so far. First, the keg cutting … To cut the kegs, I built a jig out of 1”x2” wood stock and...
