My Brett beer is about where I want it so I'm getting ready to start the process of carbonating and bottling. I have seperate racking equipment i've set aside for this, so I'm not worried about contaminating it with the bugs. That said, I plan to rack to a keg to carbonate. From there, i...

Looking for a plate chiller that will handle 15 gallon batches with no problems. From what I'v gathered, it looks like long plates are the best for cooling? Ground water is usually no higher than 70* and I'm trying to find a chiller that I can go directly from the kettle to the fermentors...

Picked up a Boilermaker to replace my keggle. I like how the HopBlocker is designed to work with the Boilermaker, but I've had good success with the SS Hop Spider in my old keggle. I do also like how the HopBlocker wont restrict the hops during the boil. My main concerns are how well it...

Couple questions regarding my first Brett beer. I have a Red I brewed with sweet potatoes and dates and fermented it with US-05. Finaly gravity was 1.019 and from there, I transferred to a carboy and added Brett L. I've read mixed results with the temp to keep it at. Homebrew store said...

Entered the picture of my ProAm winning Cucumber Pale Ale in a contest to win some tickets to a local festival. Asking HBT for some help in trying to get some extra votes:o If you wouldn't mind taking a couple seconds to vote for it, it would be much appreciated:rockin...

Did my first test batch through my new brewing setup and overall it went pretty good. It does, however, need some tweaking that I've been trying to research a bit and make the changes before the next brew day. My last batch pulled 75% effeciency and my mill was set for 1.040. I'm trying...

Got the new brewstand put together and was doing a test run of it to make sure it all worked fine. All the burners seem to work right and I get a nice blue flame under the keggles. One thing I noticed though is that on the outter edges of the stand, there seems to be some heat and/or flames...

Working on trying to finish up my new brewstand and am in need of some SS fittings. I know Brew Hut carries them, but if I recall they were priced pretty high there. Any recommendations on places to purchase SS fittings for cheap? Thanks!

Looking to add a second pump. I currently have a March 815, but for $50 less, I was seeing the Chugger which looks to have the same specs. Which route should I go? Go with the matching March pumps, or go with the cheaper Chugger? Thanks!

Starting to feel more confused the more I read. Seems like some people are using 1/2", some 1/4", some have mixed pieces. And there is me.. a total rookie with building anything propane related and not wanting to mess this up. The build is pretty simple. Three BG-14 burners. All manually...

I had an appt this week with a welder to get my stand welded together. I had ordered my BG-14 burners back on the 3rd it turns out they were on backorder and they may not make it here in time. I'm hoping someone can provide me some good pictures of mounting points and/or dimensions so I...

Was using the new app on my tablet this last weekend and I didnt notice any sort of audible notifications during the timer. Is there an option for this, or was I just doing it wrong?:drunk:

Looking to upgrade my setup but am also moving, so I'd prefer to not have to move this stuff if at all possible. Here's a link to my ad. http://denver.craigslist.org/for/3720318337.html Willing to work negotiate the prices a bit for HBT members:mug: Shoot me an email or PM if...

Built this brew stand a little while back and am in the process of upgrading to go with a single tier setup. Just kind of curious to get an idea of what its worth so i can list it on Craigslist. Its in good condition still and would come with the cooler/mashtun pictured

I've recently setup my system to whirlpool at the end of the boil, but I also use a plate chiller and have no longer been using my hop bags during the boil. Lately the plate chiller has been getting plugged for obvious reasons. So I plan on doing a good cleaning to the chiller, but I want to...

Read alot of threads about using a pump to clean out a plate chiller, but what about just soaking one? The fittings are taped on mine so I think I can only bake it at around 400*, so I was thinking of doing a long soak in some cleaner (havent decided which kind yet)? Would this work ok to...

Trying to get a nice collection of beer photos going. Using a cheapy Canon point and shoot camera. Feedback on it? Thinking of switching the backdrop to a piece of white paper?? No-Bull Kolsch2 by riored4v, on Flickr This was the other attempt, but not really happy with how it...

Finishing up the diacetyl rest on my oktoberfest today, and going to rack it in to secondary for lagering. Which is the better route to do this.. carboy or keg? I figure either way i'll lay down a blanket of CO2, and if I went the keg route, it would be just enough pressure to seal it up, but...

Put together my first Oktoberfest and will be brewing it on Sunday. Got my starter going for WLP830 and to be on the safe side I'll be stepping it up on Friday. OG is planned for 1.055. Being my first lager, any tips/tricks to make sure this beer turns out good? I plan on chilling it down...

Wanting to try and get out and meet some new people in the community but also want to gain some additional knowledge so I figured it might be time to check out some homebrew clubs. Are there any out there in the Aurora area?
