I recently picked up a used single-tier, three burner rig. It's awesome. I've been wanting a single tier rig for years to make brew days easier. When I get it going, it cranks! It has KAB4 burners, individual shutoff valves and dials along with the regulator at the tank. I have a lot of...

Happy Spring everyone. Baseball season has kicked off down under about 11 hours ago. The HBT Fantasy Baseball League had it's draft last night, and I think that we're all going to have a great season. Looking over everyone's rosters, I don't see many weak teams. Should be exciting to see who...

I typically order my supplies online for the next few batches I'm planning. Pretty much, each time I order, I order something that I have no idea what I planned on doing with. This time, it's three pounds of flaked wheat. I just kegged a batch of witbier. I'll bet I planned on putting flaked...

Lost my drop-in thermometer to the boil last brewday. Looking to buy a 3" face screw-in thermometer. I'd be going weldless, so I'd buy those pieces if you have them too. Let me know if you have these and looking to part with them.

Just a thread to confirm that it's not a good idea to use your homegrown hops to bitter your beer. :( I brewed a pale ale using my homegrown cascade and centennial hops. I used fresh hops, just picked off the bines. I used a 5:1 ratio for weight. The aroma is very good, the flavor is like a...

This could be potentially awesome news. In an effort to stimulate revenue, the USPS is considering allowing the shipment of beer, wine and liquor. The article says there would be different sized boxes and a flat rate to anywhere in the US...

There I was, enjoying my peanut butter pretzel sandwiches in my office when I notice the following written on the front of the package. I'm horrified. And you've been very busy.

Mine is not working. It opens on my android device, but none of the functions will open. Anyone else experiencing this?
