Moving and selling all my gear, hasnt been used in a few years, make offer: https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/for/d/portland-complete-all-grain-homebrew/7456630369.html https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/for/d/portland-gallon-corny-homebrew-kegs/7456632985.html

has anyone added Brett Brux with the berries in the secondary? if so, how was it?

did you brew this? I am interested in hearing how it compares to Ruth. On HoD's site they said they use Crystal hops, not Cascade/Amarillo. How is the maltyness with just pilsner? What yeast? Thanks!

any other opinions from those who have brewed this? It sounds great and will be brewing it soon. Also, what the AA% on hops used, leaf or pellets?

Ahh, I thought the regulator showed psi leaving tank, not pressure coming back out... 3 highly over carbed kegs are going to take a while to equalize. I gave two a shake and purged. cheers.

So, I have been using my regulator for over a year now... last week I noticed all my beer were over carbonated - So I checked my regulator and noticed it was at 20psi, I thought I must have forgot to turn it down after force carbing, I turned down the pressure down to 11psi. I check back a few...

Yooper, or anyone else, can you post a modified 10 gal recipe or should I just double the ingredients... I have never actually done a 10 gal and I would need to do 2 mashes. Thanks

Rock on, nice work!!

My buddy made me this one from an old shovel handle and one piece of rope...he's good with knots.

Questions are good! I did use the hinges from the freezer. All I did was removed the plastic covers so its steel showing, which I think looks good (but I do have it up against the wall). They do hold the lid open but I still always just prop it open with a left over strip of wood from the top.

Good ol' Pacific NW Doug Fir - CVG Lumber... more then likely, it use to be a stud in someones house.

Thanks. Me too! To be honest, I do not know much about woodwork either... but I am handy and good with my hands. So I just planned it and build it -- I am more then happy about how it turned out!

I got the lumber at a local rebuild/reuse center where people can donate old building materials. I had access to an industrial size planer so I was able to run the whole thing though after it was built. If I did not have access to that I would have planed each strip to be even, glued into...
