    Has anyone ordered direct from Concord before?

    I have been browsing for a kettle, comparing prices on ebay and amazon, but stumbled on Concord's direct site http://www.concordkettles.com/ Prices are as good or better than ebay and shipping is free, they even have discount codes. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience ordering...

    Would it be bad to brew/ferment near sump pump?

    I am in the planning stages of what I hope will become a basement brewery, but my ideal location is pretty much right next to my sump pump. It's not like it is pumping sewage or anything like that, but it is a small well of constantly standing water. Could this be a breeding ground for...

    Putting a keg on & off of gas

    Right now I only have a 1 keg set up, but I have 1 to drink & 1 I need to carb. Would it be detrimental to put take the drinking one off of the gas when I am at work & sleeping & hooking up the one I need to carb, then switch them when I want to drink from the other one?

    Do I need to Clean Gas Splits?

    I bought a used keg setup & have everything ready to hook up, including 2 full kegs of beer! I broke everything down & cleaned & replaced a lot of stuff, but I am wondering if the brass gas splits should be cleaned. Any advice?

    Scottish Ale Category?

    I am entering a Scottish ale in a competition, but not sure what category to enter it in. I have it narrowed down to "Amber & Brown Beers" or "Strong Ales". I am not sure which it fits better in but it definitely doesn't fit the other options. Any advice?

    Could I build 2 stir plates in 1 enclosure?

    I am planning a stir plate build & got to thinking about building a side by side stir plate than can handle 2 starters at once. My buddies & I brew 10 gallon batches so we just started with doing 2 starters at once in half gallon growlers. Would it be feasible to build 2 stir plates in 1...

    Stir Plate Fan Question

    I'm gathering the parts to make a stir plate, I have an enclosure, sacrificial hard drive & a fan, but I am wondering if the fan I have is too small, the of the fan itself is 2.5 inches. It is salvaged from an old satellite receiver, and to me it seems pretty small. It says it is DC 5V & 1.2W...

    Good deal for this burner?

    Bayou Classic 22" Double Jet Outdoor Gas Cooker I Can get it for $79.69. Is 180K BTUs overkill for a new brewer just starting out with extract kits? I don't like the lack of legs on the burner, but it seems like a good deal.

    Would this be a good brew pot?

    I just started brewing & my buddies & I just share equipment, but I would like my own so I can brew whenever I want to. Is 35 quart too big for 5 gallon batches, or does this give me flexibility to go all grain in the future?

    FedEx Delivery

    I am expecting some supplies to come via fed ex today, I think I will probably have to sign for them. Would it be ok to leave a note on the door asking the delivery person to call me so I can come home to sign for it(I work about 5 mins from home)? Or can I leave a note asking them to deliver...
