Good Evening! Getting back into the hobby and rearranging my stuff. Have a ton of bottles to get rid of, I live in Medical Lake, WA just west of Spokane. Also have a bottling tree to go along with it if you are interested, all for Free!! Contact if interested. Michael

Its your beer...

I have the hi-lo version seen here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IEQ42Q/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 And it works awesome. I biab with a dunk sparge in second pot.

I wash my chiller both before and after use, never boil it although its stainless steel. I just put it in the near-boiling wort when its done...

Very similar to my setup, except mine is in a basket. I also dunk sparge then pour through from a seperate pot with about 1 or 2 gal in it, then squeeze while heating for boil.

Good Afternoon All! I'm looking at brewing my Second AG Stout and I have a couple questions. Here is the recipe if you are interested: http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/176406/american-stout Let me know what you think. Its pretty straightforward. A little on the...

my aha moment was after I was tired of searching for a way to hook my chiller to the faucet. Its a newer style and couldnt find the fittings. I went to lowes and got a submersible pond pump, hooks right up to the chiller and i put it in a bucket of ice water or the left side of my double sink...

Nothing but positive reviews from them here. I usually order on a Sunday from them, and have it by Thursday or maybe Friday. I live in Spokane, Wa so a significant distance. Much quicker than NB, about the same distance. mike

I concur on the Cereal Killer. Love it!!

Saw this at bbnb the other night!

Wife got me a kit from there almost a year to the day...brooklyn brewshop is the brand, 1 gal equipment kit. I was hooked; already moved up to all-grain, milling, and kegging!!

I have a couple to add: - I was making my first batch of all-grain using BIAB; I heated up a metal pot of 2 gal sparge water to put through my grain. I poured a small bit of water through the grain and then set it down to let it drain; and picked the hot pot up the second time without the...

One other thing I didnt think of before going BIAB was that I bought an 8 gallon megapot 1.2 and I love it, however I got the thermometer and ball valve option. The bag seems to hang up on the probe, and I would like to use a fryer basket but it doesnt submerge enough so I just line the pot...

1174, and maybe 1175. So when I brewed my last batch my hydrometer was in its cylinder and got knocked over...it broke so thats the first one. Tonight I was bottling and took an FG reading with the second one I had and it seemed way too low, like 1.003 or so. I put that hydrometer in some 62...

Glad to see the pump worked out, I love mine and seems to be soo easy!
