    Large Collection of (Mostly) SS Fittings

    Over the years I've amassed a stupid collection of fittings, many of which are sitting in a box collecting dust. Time to clean house! Figure asking price is 2/3 of what each item sells for new. Feel free to try to talk me down. A picture and a complete list of everything is below. If you need...

    Massachusetts (6) 55 gallon Plastic Conicals w/ Cooling

    How big of a batch size before heating becomes unnecessary?

    Pretty much like the subject line says. I know at commercial breweries cooling is all that's ever necessary on the fermenters, since the yeast in those huge batches generates so much heat. But, I generally find I need to give my carboys a little extra heat in the winter, when the ambient temp is...

    Purpose of Pigtail on a GFCI Breaker?

    I'm curious if anyone knows if there's a specific reason why the neutral connection of a GFCI breaker is always coiled. I'd like to straighten the one I have out for cleaner routing, but I wanted to make sure that it won't affect its operation.

    WTB - Stay-Brite #8

    Wondering if there's anyone out there that ponied up for a pound of 1/16" Stay-Brite #8 and doesn't need all of it. Can I take 2-4oz off of your hands? I'm willing to pay a reasonable markup over your cost.

    Assorted Tri-clover Goodies

    I've been picking up tri-clover bits on eBay for a while now and am realizing I went a little overboard with some items. Clamps in particular. I have 14 more than I need. A various assortment of 1-1/2" clamps, all used, but functional. Most of them are two section, single pivots, one is a 3...

    Better Bottle Racking Adapter and SimpleFlo Valve

    I have a Better Bottle Racking Adapter and mating SimpleFlo valve that I'm not using anymore. I managed to crack my one ported Better Bottle and I'm not feeling adventurous enough to try drilling another one. Used, but in fine condition. $25 shipped.

    Control Panel Design

    I'm working on putting together a single-vessel electric BIAB/RIMS brew system. Of course, here I am thinking I'm all original with this idea and come to find that there are already several people using systems similar to this. I've got a Bayou Classic 62qt stock pot (with steamer basket) and am...

    Converted Keg

    I have a 50L keg that I bought from Harpoon and converted for use as a keggle. It has a 12" hole in the top to fit a standard lid and 3 1/2" NPT pipe nipples welded in. 2 are near the bottom for drain and sight glass/thermometer, the third is near the top for return. I'll throw in a lid, ball...

    Keggle or Bayou Classic 62qt?

    I have a bit of a quandary and am hoping some of you all can help me make my decision... I have an unmodified 15.5 gallon keg that I've been planning to turn into my brew kettle for a while now. I have plans for a single vessel electric BIAB system. Ideally I'd like to incorporate one of the...

    Kegloves w/ Ice Blankets

    I have 2 Keglove sleeves (one red, one blue) to fit 5g corny kegs and 4 ice blankets to go with them. I bought them for an event a while ago and don't see myself using them again. I'd prefer to sell them as sets of 1 Keglove + 2 ice blankets. I paid about $65 for each set. They've been used...

    How much malt required to convert rice?

    Not strictly a brewing question, but loosely related. I'm trying to make some brown rice syrup. As I understand it, brown rice syrup is made by cereal mashing rice along with some amylase enzymes (which they usually get from barley malt). I'm thinking I could just do a mash with a high...

    RIMS style HEX for heating strike water?

    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I can't seem to find a discussion of it, so here goes... I'm starting down the road of electrifying my brew setup. I want to start with the HLT, but was reading about issues of heat stratification if you just stick a high wattage element in there...

    Goofed on a Belgian Wit. Can I fix it?

    I brewed up a Belgian Wit today, got it in the fermenter about an hour ago and just noticed my bowls of orange zest and coriander still sitting on the counter top. Oops. So here's the question. Is it worth trying to fix this by boiling up a little extract with the spices and adding that to the...

    Help with Southern Tier Heavy Weizen Clone

    I had a couple of bottles of Heavy Weizen from Southern Tier last summer and my wife and I both enjoyed them. I think it would be a good beer to have on tap this summer. So, I'm trying to work up a clone recipe. Here are the notes from the bottle: Alc. 8.0% by Vol. 18 degrees plato 38 IBUs...

    Help with English Barleywine Recipe

    I'm looking for something to pitch on a yeast cake of WLP005 that I have going right now and thought it might be interesting to try it with an English Barleywine. I also just finished building my cooler MLT, but I don't have a pot for a full boil yet, so I thought I'd put it through it's paces...

    Keg head pressure dropping?

    I've got a few beers in kegs for a party I've got coming up. I'm waiting to carb them until closer till the event, so they've been sitting with 30psi of head pressure on them for a little while now. I rigged up a little pressure tester yesterday, just cause I was getting a little paranoid about...

    Stuck, but active fermentation?

    I've got a braggot fermenting in secondary right now, yeast is WLP001. Reasonably high gravity (original SG was ~1.090). Activity had stopped on my airlock a week ago, so I got ready to bottle it. Gravity at that point was a hair over 1.020. I figured that was probably a little high, so I...
