I'm leaving the hobby for good. Everything must go. Not willing to ship/breakup stuff. Yet. We'll see what kind of offers I might get? I'm being lazy. https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/for/d/chadds-ford-homebrew-beer-complete-setup/7644030719.html Happy Brewing! Jay

I have less than 10 batches with my silicone hoses, and they've been taking on a more and more yellow color, and have a distinct maltly smell. After each use I soak in oxyclean, then run acid cleaner through them, but nothing seems to be working. The color and smell still persist. Any...

Hi - I have two carboys in my fermentation chamber. One is 6 weeks old, 4 weeks of dry hop. The other is 4 weeks old. Both are in primary, still on the yeast cake. I was going to wait until my keezer is finished to keg these, but at the rate I'm going, it might be another couple/few weeks...

I'm about to skin my keezer in some 1/4" wainscoating. I'm considering simply filling the drain plug from the inside with some silicone caulking, and covering the outside hole with wood. How many of you that maintained the hole in front actually use it for draining? My thinking is it would...

With all the keezer builds going on around here, I'm sure a few of you can weigh in on the proper functioning of this thing. I picked it up at HD a few days ago. When I got it home, I set it up as-is just to make sure it was working properly. When first plugged in, I heard a bubbling-gurgling...

I pitched my yeast on Saturday, 4 days ago. I put it in my basement, where it's a bit cold, the carboy never got over 57F. On Monday, I decided it needed to be warmer, so I brought it up to my pantry. Tuesday it was 65 and very active. Today (Wed) it is 68 and slowing down. It's...

I just finished cutting the top off, and getting it cleaned up some. I'm waiting on some weld-less fittings, and I'll be ready to try out my first boil. I was considering cleaning it with oxyclean, then doing a vinegar/water boil and drawing the vinegar/water solution through my new CFC to...

So I purchased my first extract kit. I was going to brew it today, but due to some unforeseen problems with my BK, I decided to wait until I got my keggle. Therefore, I decided to download the free trial of beersmith, and see what the differences would be between my partial boil instructions...

I bought a used 30qt turkey fryer today. When I picked it up, it was really dirty. I went through almost a whole box of SOS pads to clean off all the grime and oil. At the bottom of the pot, what I originally thought to be dirt spots, are actually pitted indentations, and the exposed metal in...

How many corny kegs can you go though before you need your 5 lb bottle filled? Is it worth it to spend the extra $$$ on the 10 lb? I found a guy selling 5lb steel tanks for $60, and since most places just exchange the 5 lb tanks, I'm thinking it's a pretty good deal. Thanks! Jay

Hey folks, I've got a couple of buddies who have been brewing for a few years now, and I've finally decided to jump in and play too. I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks now, and I'm really impressed with how much DYI stuff there is on here. I love to build things, I'm not sure if...
