    A Day of Firsts! First AG, First on new rig...

    first 10gal. batch, first brewing injury. All in all a good day! About 7 months ago I started building an all electric brew rig for my transition to all grain brewing. I don't have propane tanks or burners and didn't really want them. So after reading a lot and copying from others who went...

    My 12.9 cu. ft. keezer build

    I got a new 12.9 cu. ft. chest freezer on sale at Lowe's the other day, and now I am converting it to an 8 keg keezer. This will allow me to fit 6 kegs on the floor and 2 on the hump. Note to self and anyone else trying this at home, pin your hinges before removing the lid! I'm...

    Another E-Brewery Build

    After reading a bunch of the build threads here I have decided to make the leap to electric brewing. It will be quite a change for me as I have been up to this point only brewing 5 gallon extract brews on my kitchen stove. I figured if I was going to go all grain I would also go all electric...

So I wander to the back of the store and the beer selection is huge! About 200 imports and craft brews, by the bottle, six pack, or...

    Wire size for 240v extension cord?

    I'm thinking of converting to electric brewing, but the only 240v outlet I have is for my dryer. This is located in the middle of the house. I want to brew outside because I have no way to vent the boil off from inside. The house is a rental so I can't do any rewiring. What size cable will I...

    Counter flow chiller vs. immersion chiller??

    Long time extract brewer thinking about moving up to all grain and larger than 5 gal. batches. I have always used an immersion chiller to cool my wort, but I see many of the larger all grain rigs using CFC's. So my questions are: 1. Do CFC's cool better or quicker than IC's? 2. Doesn't the...
