Planting this summer: L'Acadie Blanc, NY Muscat, and Baco Noir. How far apart? Soil needs? Repelling deer and other beasts? Thx.

I am hoping for recommendations on good but not horrificly expensive big and tall office chairs. I had a high backed cloth one from Staples for close to 23 years that was amazingly comfortable, and when it finally disintegrated, I spent about 300 bucks Canadian on a mesh office chair. It is...

I'm about to haul another large, heavy, & dead keezer out of the basement.. sigh. Has anyone tried making an electric jockey box, essentially a tiny fridge with a cold plate? Did it work ok? I need something compact and cheap as a stop gap measure for now.

It has been a LONG time since my bottling days. Plz remind me if the PET caps (new) need to have the membrane (blue part) removed for sanitizing or if caps can be immersed as-is. Thx.

Hello, My keezer is holding temp at 50-52 degrees F for 3-4 days with the compressor running all the time. STC 1000 is reading properly and set to 37° +/- 0.5°, with a 3 minute delay between cycles and ambient temp of 70°. It has approx 18 gallons of beer in it. I have unplugged it a few times...

Hello, Anyone have a components list that would basically do what this does from Auber, but be cheaper? https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8_128&products_id=778 Thx.

A friend tells me there is a ginger beer called Stoney Tangawizi that is very, very good in parts of Eastern Africa. She is wondering if there might be a clone recipe or any tips on a DIY version from someone familiar with it. Cheers.

I am looking for leads on a stand alone milk frother brand with steam wand that is available in Canada that doesn't suck. The person does not like espresso, just regular coffee with foam.

I have all the ingredients I need to make any type of American or English ale... I went down to mill the grain and can't make up my mind. Stout / IPA / Pale Ale / ESB / etc. Lol.

Why does the California cancer warning appear on essentially everything, including drinking water plumbing materials?

I have a 3 line cold plate. They don't work so great with warm kegs (85-95 degrees in shade). I only need one line, and have though about running all the cold plate lines in series to maximize the heat exchange. Anyone have experience with this / thoughts on if it would work on a hot summer day...

I've had various weldless fittings on all of my vessels for over a decade and have brewed with them countless times. Normally they are fine, but sometimes they leak, which has gotten annoying. I use the more premium fittings, keg lube and change the o-ring from time to time. I have also tried...

I have approximately 24 gallons of hot wort in a stainless conical. My plate chiller was apparently ill equipped to handle the amount of hops I used in the boil. What is a good airlock option because it will contract as it cools gradually overnight. I am thinking of just leaving the ball valve...

I see lots of element enclosures of varying complexities.... why not just cover the back end of the element with a couple coats of liquid electrical tape.... not sure if genius or stupid. Thoughts? This would obviously not be suitable for applications were the cord might be pulled or stressed...

I have an older style Blichman 27 gallon Fermenator circa 2013 that I am turning into a boil kettle. Is there a silicone option that would work for the lid? Plan is to boil with the lid on and a steam condenser. Alternatively, does anyone know if the OEM seals can handle boiling temps for an...

Does anyone have experience using a conical fermenter also as a boil kettle with a stainless element? Where did you mount the element? I have a dilemma regarding my 3v E-HERMS... between not having people over with the pandemic, generally drinking less, and wanting to reclaim some space, I'm...

Hi folks, I'm interested in BIAB. I have a 3 vessel E-HERMS, and it has served me well, but it takes up an obscene amount of room. I am exploring BIAB all in one options. Does the concept below look like it could work with my existing 30 gallon mash tun. Pot is 24" high and approx 22" wide. It...

Looking for your thoughts here on why gravity stopped dead at 1028 for 2 days, then resumed. Stout brewed last Saturday: 6#8oz 2-row 6#4oz Vienna 1#2oz Roasted Barley 8oz Chocolate malt 12oz Quick Oats 4oz Coffee Malt 3oz Centennial @120 2.5 Tbsp Fermentis S-04 OG 1.072 FG 1012 Ambient temp...

I'm thinking about taking some of the first runnings of a 90% 2row, 10% Vienna mash (maybe 152°) and caramelizing them like how you make Candi sugar. Curious if anyone has done this. I think I've brewed with every commercially available specialty malt, or its analog, and want to try something...

Any heros out there know how many Cornelius Pepsi kegs this sucker would hold? https://www.homedepot.ca/product/magic-chef-11-0-pieds-cubes-congelateur-horizontal/1001186572
