I have almost all the parts I need to build it, but I just realized that the cord I was saving is probably not up to the task. It was used on a 1000w steam cleaner, so I figure that I need something stronger. does anyone have a link to something I could use? amazon would be preferred...

I've used a bucket heater that I've used for my brews for a while (low powered, but gets the job done with my stovetop), but I think that I've decided to pick up a 2ed brewing element to shorten my boil times I decided on this...

I was filling some bottles from my kegs, and before I did so I blasted each bottle with steam to help sanatize them (hand steam cleaner). As I was filling them up I noticed how the steam was moving out of the bottles as I filled them and I thought, would steam move oxygen out of bottles? It...

I purchased 4 pinlock kegs are rock bottom prices off of Midwest, and for the most part I really enjoyed my deal.....however their is one hardware problem one of the gas connects is missing a pin and to me, that seems like a problem. I fond a screw that fits in the hole relatively well and...

(as a forward, I am sorry for no pics. Windows 8 has not been nice for my cell-phones camera) anyho, I had seriously thought about purchasing a carboy handle a few days ago, until I read that they where NOT load bearing, and thus, could not be used to lift a full carboy. This was a...

I recently just got into kegging, and I got a free 3ed keg out of the deal, but their was just one catch.....it has a small hole in the bottom of it. I wasn't sure how deep the hole went (as it really looked like a deep, but small scratch on the inside), so I cut into the bottom "boot" around...

I just looked at the list price for this great book on amazon, and saw the kindle edition of it for only 3$................... For that price I don't think you have a reason to not buy the book. Just thought everyone should know ^__^ (Side note I wasn't sure where to post this, so if it gets...

After successfully making a Hefeweizen with some lemonade added to it for flavoring, Im wondering how adding some blood orange or Grapefruit juice would affect my future wheat beers. (Where I to try it I would pick only the juice that has no preservatives, as I did with my lemonade hefe can...

I am thinking about getting a 742G bucket heater, and I was wondering if it is pretty much the best fully assembled option available (vs a home build). http://www.amazon.com/dp/MARSHALLTO/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

a friend and I are trying to start a home brewing club at FSU and we are currently in the planning stages before really pushing for it. we think that if we make it VERY educational focused on the science, process, and styles of brewing/its related activities (and keep a very strict and...

YEA, is that possible? I would love to set up a starter for my beers (ever since I moved into all grain its given me a bit more $$ to spend on my yeast) but I don't want to buy DME. is their anything else I can use to start up my yeast before I pitch it in?

here's what I want to do. I want to roast up crushed pecans/Hazelnuts in my over at 200 degrees over some paper towels. the idea is to absorb up excess oils and then add the nuts to my mash for a brown ale. what is everyone's experience with adding nuts to their grain bill? can I just add...

how does everyone get rid of their yeasty waste when their done brewing? I got into the habit of dumping it down the drain in my bathtub, but I feel pretty bad doing it (yeas is supposed to be a strain on sanitation services) what is the best way for me to dump the remainders of my yeast?

Recently, in my brewing, I've gotten used to cleaning all my equipment with a hand held steam cleaner and I was wondering if this an effective technique for sterilization. I generally just blast anything that comes into contact with my beer with a high pressure jet of hot steam (including my...

Would I add the maple syrup right before I began the wort boiling, or would I want to add it in in the last minute of boil (or just mix it in with the wort after its done boiling to make sure that its flavors are not removed)

Yes, Sacrelage... I know. but I AM a vegetarian and I was wondering "can't I just use some veggie bacon to dry hop my porter?" I assume so. Just dry up as much oil as possible. Its the same idea as the regular bacon porter. just with veggie bacon strips (morning star in this case...

I just recently started brewing and I found a interesting way to clean my bottles. I used a hand steamer (I use it for cleaning my carpet) to blast the inside of my bottles with steam (for about 5 seconds) I let them cool (takes about 5-10 minutes), and then rinse them out with water. is that...
