It has been entirely too long but I am finally wrapping up. Long story short, I stopped brewing about a year and a half ago due to selling/buying a house. The new house has a 1600 sq ft heated and cooled basement that is now my shop and brewery. When we purchased the house I vowed to not brew...

I have a terrace in my back lawn that I am wanting to plant some rhizomes in. When I weed eat it, I can smell onions and I believe mint. I assume the original builder had some things planted in it and it is still growing. The question is will it change the hops taste, if so how can I fix it...

I have had this idea for a while and finally got some time to build a proof of concept. It is a 6.5 gallon carboy, thin copper sheet, peltier element, heat sink, fan, and an exercise mat jacket. I used arctic silver thermal adhesive to bond the copper to the peltier and the peltier to the heat...

Has anyone seen a recipe? When I asked my dad what his favorite beer in the world would be, he stated PBR Old Tankard Ale. As I squished my face into obscure angles wondering what in the world he was talking about, he told me he drank it years before I was born and hadn't been on the shelves in...

We are heading down early Friday. Ended up staying next door rather than the host hotel. Signed up for the Plano pub crawl. I entered a "Fruit Beer" and quite a few others from the local group entered others as well. Hope to see a good turn out. Cheers! :mug:

I have seen a quite a few threads popping up but have yet to see a "Show your...." thread for stir plates, so here it is. Just finished mine today. I wanted the ability to run multiple starters at a time so this is what I came up with. It is in essence 4 stir plates controlled by 1 unit. It...

I looked around and didn't find a thread for what I am looking for. I don't want to know brand etc.. I want to know method, size, style equipment, reasoning,.... for your hypothetical or real brewery but be conscious of cost. This is not what your DREAM brewery would be but more of a if you...

This past week I was in Houston burning some vacation time and stopped by the Spec's downtown and wow....... I was overwhelmed. The selection at home is terrible, so to see that many options was amazing. I am sure some of you see selections like this all the time but for me it was huge. We have...

Has anyone ever seen one of these? Noticed it while trolling CG. Looks production... CG Add

Is anyone planning on going? MCAB XIII

I have been using the shower stall in my spare bathroom to store bubbling carboys, and as luck would have it the master bath was in use and it was TIME TO GO..... I charge in there with my carboy inspection flashlight in hand and do my business in the dark. As I sat I was pondering whether it...

I have posted a few random pics of it here and there but finally a thread of it's own. My initial thought was a single tier for simplicity but then I decided I wanted a challenge, I wanted to build it in a manner that would have the smallest footprint possible in my garage and would also be able...

Within a week of starting brewing, I bought a used Beverage Air commercial kegorator (DD58). It is rather old. When I picked it up it worked great but needed a little TLC. After a lot of cleaning and gaskets and a coat of paint, it moved into the spare bed room. I replaced the 4 taps with...

Is there a way to mount a normal(un-threaded) thermometer in the side of a keggle? I fully understand that I can buy one that is threaded from one of our amazing vendors but I just wondered if there was a way to seal one in a compression fitting or some other method to allow the use of a cheaper...

To my surprise I could not find any info on the board about these. They sell them at Harbor Freight. They are labeled as "marine pumps" but use SS heads. Thoughts? Anyone have experience with them? Pump 1 Pump 2 Beefy but Cast...

I was trolling Lowes for random things and when thinking through the parts I would need to convert my kegs to keggles I decided to check out QDs. After perusing the plumbing isle I decided to check out the lawn stuff. I found these disconnects made by gilmour and thought they might fit the bill...

I purchased 8 for $175 to my door. This is what she sent me when I asked about more. Just thought I would pass it along... :mug: "I have 25 kegs left/ I sold 25 over night so they are going quick. I really need $22 ea if they order more than 8 plus $20 shipping and if they order less than 8 I...

Greetings all, I apologize for this being my first thread but I felt that I needed to get some info before making a decision. I have recently started brewing and have lurked around the forum for a bit but yet to post anything. I have been planning on buying a deep freeze and using that for...
