I'm not an electrician, and regard it as magic most of the time... I modified on of P-J's diagrams, I hope you don't mind PJ. Does this look like it will function? EDIT: DIAGRAM CHANGE PLEASE SEE POST #17

I recently brewed the Black Forest Stout from the BCS book. Prior to adding the cherries in secondary, it's essentially just a chocolate stout (1 lb unsweetened cocoa per 10 gallons). I've split the batch and 5 gallons will continue on its way to becoming chocolate and cherries... I thought...

Slowly but surely my birthday presents to myself come rolling in. My half of our "refund allowance" as she calls it has scored me cool upgrades this year! My dingy fridge is about to receive a good slathering of chalkboard paint, but in the mean time some 525ss begin to take position...

Anybody have this issue before? Last summer I bought a used fridge from a neighbor who had it sitting outside for a month or so, said it was in a house fire... Other than being a little dirty, we plugged it in and I felt the freezer get cold, it worked and was cheap to boot! I took it home...

I was thinking of splitting a six gallon kit between two kegs. Assuming I pay proper attention to purging and do closed system transfers, does anybody know of a reason not to use a corny throughout the process? Everywhere I read about secondary fermentation, people are stressing minimized head...

I spent a long time looking at the immersion chiller threads and google image searches trying to come up with the best bang-for-my-buck design for a wort chiller. It was built with 3/8" OD soft tubing, and 1/2" hard pipe and fittings. I'm not going to go into theory for two reasons: one...

http://www.bubbasbarrels.com/110-gallon-stainless-drum I see potential issues with lautering. Something about a 24" diameter, 63" tall mash tun lead me to expect a stuck sparge or channeling. What do you think?

The house we just moved in to came with a dish washer, only it didn't work. It surely won't work now, not only because we replaced it, but also because I tore it to pieces. I scavenged a lot of nifty switches and relays and stuff that I'll learn how to use later but what I want to use now is the...

I've seen many beer flights, but all have the same boring identical glasses despite the variety of their contents. I would love to offer my beers in a flight of glasses offering some degree of appropriate shape. I realize that by shrinking the glassware the shape might become less effective but...

The purpose of this thread is to track the growth of my hops while possibly getting feedback and advice from those in the know. Some background: In their first year they did horribly, my dog ran through the bines when they were approx 6 inches tall, leaving only one to finish at about 24...

I have a batch of brew in just coming out of the attenuative phase, as noted by a decrease in airlock activity, and I thought it was prime time to add some flavorings. I wanted this particular brew to have a hint of berry. To increase the surface area of my addition I took it upon myself to...

Before the "newb flaming" begins, I'd like to start by confessing that I am new to homebrewing. Thusly, I would like to experiment with several small batches in a controlled manner to evaluate separate ingredients. I feel that comparing each individual ingredient's characteristic would allow...

First, I'd like to say hello, I'm the stalker that's been reading all of your threads. I would also like any feedback you can come up with, so don't hold back if you see something wrong with my idea. I'm a noob to brewing, I haven't even done a batch yet, so "pre-noob" might be better...
