    Who makes the Cereal Killer mill?

    I need a new hopper for my Cereal Killer mill. Does anyone know who makes this so I can contact them?

    Brewery names--what's your story?

    Wild Pig Brewing: "Go ahead, hog all the beer!" My college mascot was a razorback, so a "wild pig".

    Don't you accomplish the same thing though with a step at 162F-ish?

    I'm surprised at how much I have spent on brewing in 2018

    You should amortize those long-term investments.

    I'm surprised at how much I have spent on brewing in 2018

    $1000 bucks for 10 batches of 10-gallons (about 100 beers) = $1 a beer Just LHBS and morebeer = $0.60 a beer (I approximated a lot)

    Any dry yeast better for Kirkland Signature (Costco) juice than Nottingham?

    White Labs and Wyeast both make good cider yeasts as well. Some people also use sweet mead yeasts and others.

    EC-1118 fermented cool gave me the best results. It left the most apple taste.

    "Homebrew twang" despite controlled fermentation and yeast starter

    I had a "green beer" taste in my beers that turned out to be autolysis of the yeast during bottle conditioning. When I switched to kegging it disappeared.

    converting ball lock to pin lock

    Can't you just make up some MFL thingies and just screw on the type you need for the keg you're using?

    What I did for beer today

    You do anything special for the black lager? I'm always looking for a good black lager recipe.

    Krausening an already-primed keg?

    OK, just to follow-up on this: I made a 2.5L starter of 34/70, let it get active, then pitched about a liter of this into the keg. I would have added more but didn't have room in the keg. I brought the keg to room temperature and 2 days after pitch I checked the PRV and only got a little hiss...

    Krausening an already-primed keg?

    Ha, it was impatience that got me here in the first place. I'm pitching tomorrow so we'll see if it blows up or not then. :O

    Krausening an already-primed keg?

    My latest Oktoberfest lager seems to have some diacetyl in it and I'm going to chuck some krausening starter in to remedy this. The keg is at room temperature but is already gassed up to 2.7 volumes. If I make a 1.25L starter using 125g of DME and then toss this in the keg and seal it up am I...

    Hydrometer vs Refractometer to monitor fermentation finish

    Just use a refractometer and this site: http://seanterrill.com/2012/01/06/refractometer-calculator/ It will get you within a point.

    SALT ADDITIONS FOR RO BIAB

    I started off by just adding 1/2 tsp. CaCl and then went on to adding 1/2 tsp. of CaSO4 and so on. Our water here has pretty much nothing in it so it's pretty close to RO. Add a tiny bit of one in one batch and then a tiny bit of of something else in another batch, etc. See what difference...

    How do you clean a stove after boil over?

    If your stove is ceramic-top you need an "Earthstone Kitchenstone"...

    Disgusting old beer in tap lines

    Great price! If I got this line I would need one of each of the two JG connectors per line: 5/16" to 1/4" MFL, and 5/26" to 5/8" BSPP? Is this correct? (I read this off of Ritebrew. Just wanted to confirm)

    Vodka in airlock

    Vodka seems to evaporate *way* quicker than StarSan.
