Hey guys, Hoping someone can clarify something for me. I was shopping for bulk grains and founds Rahr 2-row for $39.99 at my local Whole Foods. They had a BSG branded 50 lb bag and a non BSG 25 kg (55 lb) bag. Both labeled American 2-row both the same price. Well I grabbed the 25 Kg bag and...

Hello, Finishing up a keezer project and no longer need the tower that was mounted in my kegerator. Two tap stainless steel tower. Used for 3 months before I decided to build a keezer. Great condition, $75 plus shipping Perlick 525ss faucet. Also used for around 3 months. Great condition and...

Like many keezer builds mine started with the OK from the SO. Before she could change her mind I bought a 7.1 cuft Igloo freezer and plan on building the base this weekend. I plan on using red oak for the front and side paneling (coffin style keezer), the tower box and a red oak slab for the...

Hey guys, Got a chest freezer and no longer need this bag. The bag works great at keeping beer at proper fermentation temps. I used frozen water bottles. Worked as good as a swamp cooler for me minus all the water and mess. They go for around $60 plus shipping, I'm letting it go for $50...

Hello, I have a Cool Brewing Bag for sale. I've had it for around three months but only used it for two. Clean, no rips or stains. Pretty effective at holding temps with frozen water bottles. $50 shipped. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Do you guys see any problems with covering a secondary fermenter with some sanitized foil and no airlock? I have a small 5 CU freezer as a ferm chamber and can hold a 6 gal carboy and a 5 gal but the 5 gal sits on a step so an airlock won't fit. I figured it should be ok since fermentation has...

Hey there, I dove into water additions and mash PH today. I have a PH meter with ATC and while in the mash got a mash PH of 5.38, the reading was consistent. Now in How to Brew, Palmer recommends a mash PH of 5.1 to 5.5 at mash temp and 5.4 to 5.8 at room temp. I was wondering, with the ATC...

Hello everyone, So like a lot of you I finally feel very confident in my brewing process and now want to dive into water chemistry. I have read How to Brew and a few other articles, listened to a few podcasts and talked with some guys from my LBS on water in my area but am still a bit lost...

Hello, I brewed a Deschutes Fresh Squeezed clone around a week and 3 days ago. It fermented at 67* for a week then I moved it out of my Cool Brew bag into my beer closet still in the primary. The weather here in NorCal spiked and today the fermentor is sitting at 76*! I know that during the...

So I brew all grain and use an immersion chiller which gets my wort from 212 to 80* rather quickly but getting it any lower is a challenge specially with the heat we have been having. I use a Cool Brewing bag which is basically a large insulated bag as a fermentation chamber. After I chill to...

Hey, I just had the first pint of my first all grain batch! Turned out pretty good, a bit more malty than what I would like but a good starting point. It was a Fresh Squeezed clone I found. OG was at 1.055 and FG 1.008 so about 6.15% ABV. The beer taste good (not great) but then I got to...

As a newer brewer I want to give a shout out to all the guys and gals on here, your collective knowledge has been a great help in this new adventure. I recently purchased a Nostalgia one tap kegerator off of Craig's List for an awesome price. The kegerator came with a 5 lb CO2 tank. I gave all...
