Wifey wants me to clean up the garage :(. Hoping to find a good home for this: High powered triple burner brew stand built by me using a repurposed 80:20 erector set that cost about $15,000 for a work project. High quality needle valves on the gas manifolds for fine grained temp control Set...

Hi, A friend of mine gave this to me yesterday. Its a ss pressure vessel from a company called alloy products. This is a long shot but does anyone here have experience using these things as fermentors? I'm thinking a pressurized fermentation to reduce esters etc., then cold crash in the...

I used a bag of cornflakes in a basic pilsner recipe recently. I used a decoction mash step. Lager came out great. The corn gave it a really nice finish. Think Corona/Sol, but better...

I second this! Just last week I tried a bottle that had been sitting for about 7-8 months. I shared it with my wife and we both were amazed at the difference. One of my all time favorites for sure! Worth waiting for!

Blastocyst? I'm sure I typed 'plastic'...

I just bought the 129 dollar generic brand 2-roller mill from Amazon. The one with the blue blastocyst wrapping. The drive shaft broke off the roller after 3lbs of grain, with a small hand held drill at about 180rpm. Going with bc or monster next and hopefully I'll have better luck.

Excellent! I was wondering what those emails were about. Thanks a lot! I'll participate for sure :)

Winner! But with steel wire, vacuum cleaner handle and dramatic video in place of check. Also, alCophile pm'd me a similar solution.

Thanks again for all the great suggestions in this thread! I finally had a few minutes to try again. This time I had more success!! Here is a badly made time-lapse video of my crusade against the salad tongs: The solution that finally worked was to thread two wire nooses through a vacuum...

:mad:

Don't try this at home kids. It will drive you nuts! Thank you all for the input!! I'm sure that some of the suggestions here would have worked, but alas, the order in which I tried them was a critical factor. I first tried to hook the loop at the bottom and use the wall contour to close...

Wow, so many great ideas! Thanks for all the responses. I like Jwin's thought on rolling the string around it and pulling. Ill try all the ideas here until one works. Will keep you updated!

Yeah, its too big to flip. I'll try the hanger idea. Wife won't let me go to the pound. Cheers

I used raspberry pi and a bunch of 1-wire probes, in liquid, in air and ambient outside. The cool thing is you can wire them in series. It is a cheaper, better and more extensible solution imho, but does need some coding (python for me) and wiring geekiness. Nothing youtube cant teach you! I...

See attached pic, illustrating price paid for poor supervision of brew equipment, and kids. Any suggestions for removing it without destroying the carboy are welcome!

Thanks! I think I did go heavy on the 500L. Will try your suggestion. I worry a bit because the flavor is perfect now. I'll do a taste test on both and report back (eventually) Cheers!

This is what I do and I've never had an issue with off flavors. I have the larger duda chiller (which is awesome btw) . In my opinion the high temps just before chill time are the best option. I also flush with PBW for a few mins after use, but I think this is less critical.

I brewed a 10 gal batch of this. Took a corny to a bachelor party and it was a big hit :) One of my best brews to date. Thanks a lot for the recipe. It was definitely on the dark end of the style. Any suggestions on how to lighten up the color with minimal impact on that awesome roastiness at...
