I've had a couple lagers (Munich Helles and Festbier) lagering for a couple months now and just took samples. It appears they didn't attenuate as fully as I thought and both are tasting way too sweet. The Helles is at 1.014 and the Festbier is 1.021. The Helles I was just lazy and assumed it...

I've been searching through a lot of topics on automation and I think the discussions most similar to what I'm looking to do are much more complex than needed. Without any prior experience with electrical work (besides building a stir plate) I'm not able to take what has been explained in those...

I've been pouring over the forums getting as much information as I can to complete my single tier semi-automated brew stand. Debating on whether to buy a set of wire gauge drill bits or go the cheaper and simpler option of buying low pressure orifices for my BG14 burners available from Williams...

I have an upright freezer I currently use for fermentation and have an idea on how I can use it for 3 separate temperature controlled chambers. I am building 2 insulated boxes that will sit above the freezer and can each hold 2 carboys. I plan to put a 10-15 gallon container of water in the...

Hey all. I kicked a couple kegs this past weekend. One was great to the last drop, while the other was getting a bit old - some stale/oxidized flavors but otherwise fine. When I went to clean the kegs and lines I noticed a white streak from the ball lick connector up the line for about 8 to 10...

Like many out there I've decided to upgrade and build a single tier brew stand based of the Brutus 10 build. I just welded up my stand (flux weld with plain steel 2" tube) and am progressing onto the next part of the build. I'm aware of multiple threads on the build so figure starting another...

So I've become transfixed on developing a perfect session IPA (or hoppy pale ale if you prefer). I have a love of session beers and my girlfriend (who I live with) is a genuine hop head so this recipe will serve a dual purpose. I'm aiming for a 3-4% abv pale session beer with a big American hop...

Hey All, This is my first post on HBT. The inspiration for this was from a previous post (apologies, can't recall who) who had a similiar project but with copper pipes. Couldn't justify the $150 in copper it would take to do this so did it for <$30 with PVC. Eventually want to do this with...
