Hey, I bought a bunch of hops and grains three years ago. All of the grains were kept dry and in their bags. The hops were vacuum sealed and always kept in the fridge over this time. Are any of these ingredients still useable? It would be such a shame to waste them. But i'm finally able to...

Curious what everyone's favorite beer to keep on tap is. I'm just getting back into brewing as I can finally afford a chilling system as my house is disgustingly hot inside, all of the time. I've been looking through the recipe section. I have a few in mind. BM Centennial blonde was always a...

I'm looking to buy a 7gallon brewmaster edition conical and the FTSS chilling only is $165 cad. Is it worth it to buy this? Or should I just pick up a small fish tank pump and a temperature controller off amazon? I feel like I could probably get those two for around $70 and just pick up some...
