I was looking at the Anvil swirly arm or brewers hardware spin cycle. Does anyone have good experience with either with the narrow pot diameter of the foundry? I'm assuming you need a better pump than the stock foundry one. Thanks.

Currently have a raw Jovaru farmhouse on tap and looking to repitch. Anyone ever try other styles with Jovaru? I know omega recommends a Wit but wasn't sure if anyone has had success with any other recipes. I'm wondering how it would be with like a C hop IPA. Maybe like a more neutral Belgian...

Last year during my harvest I noticed the top of two of my plants had some gray/black spotting. I didn't use them because I wasn't sure if it was mold from moisture or something else. Any ideas? Also how to prevent it this year? Thanks for the help.

Been chasing a leak for months. Burned through 2 5lb tanks in 2 months. Even bought a new dual regulator after giving up. With the CO2 lines shut off, I turn off the tank and my regulator high pressure gauge loses about 30 percent over a day. No leaks detected by soapy water. Not sure how...

Yes I know a starter will reduce lag Yes I've heard slurries older than 2 weeks should have a stater. I use the simple yeast harvest approach but I typically rotate 2 strains and brew monthly. So my slurries are usually 2 or 3 months old. I've never had an issue with direct pitching about 8...

So I've been doing room temp larger fermentation under pressure for the last year and I've noticed most of the batches won't hold any head, no lacing. I've tried omega German larger and pilsner 1 and also safale 34/70. Has anyone had this issue? I don't have an issue with any of my ales but...

I'm looking to get a pump sprayer for starsan and also maybe one for beer line cleaning. I bought one at home depot and it smelled like machining oil. Cleaned it with pbw and still smelled. Didn't trust it for starsan application. Where is everyone getting small half gallon pump sprayers? Or...

I tend to keep a selection of american hops on hand and build recipes around what I have at the time. I've bought bulk hops from my local homebrew shop but they only sell full pounds and hit and miss detail on crop year. Yakima valley hops seems to have a good selection, detail, and sell in half...

I would like to add return springs to my kegerator for some extra kid insurance. I see intertap sells a spring and I have those taps but I have standard shanks. The description says works with intertap shanks only. Has any one had good luck with intertap return springs on a standard shank?

I'm looking to try my first CO2 capture for continuous purging the serving keg. Looks like a couple threads detailing the set up for ferm kegs is to hook the ferm gas in to the serving beer outlet then hooking the spunding valve to the serving keg gas in. That set up really increases the head...

I'm two batches in using the Omega West Coast I the chico strain and the resulting yeast cakes are super thick. I have never seen anything like this using white labs or S-05. This is like the consistency of pudding, even a little thicker. Made a huge mess trying to harvest in a mason when it...

I mash around 60 to 70 percent power on my 120v foundry. Does everyone kick it up to 100 percent from mash to boil? Wasn't sure if I needed to worry about scorching and ramp at like 80 or 90. Thanks for the help.
