Hi all, I was given a couple of what I think are called "Thielmann" kegs by a friend. It has a connection method I have never seen before. I have done a bit of research on the googlewebs and I think it might be called an "S coupler". By the way, these used to hold Heineken beer if that helps...

I didn't invent this... But I've been tweaking it to suit my pallet. This is just a really nice drinkable (quaffable!!) beer. For me, it's a "beer drinkers beer." For the yeast, I usually use US-05, but I have also used WLP001. Of course, don't follow my acid or salt additions as your water...

Hi there, Currently I have a two element kettle. Each element is 120v and completely separate from each other. Since I boil in my basement and the location I boil at is very close to the 240v dryer outlet, I want to eliminate having two 120v power cables going to separate circuits in my...

Hi all, I am setup for 5 gallon all grain batches. I have a 10 gallon electric brew kettle and a 10 gal "igloo" Mash tun. I have a question though. I was wanting to do some 10 gallon batches, but my equipment is not big enough for (full) 10 gallon batches. Because I don't want to do two all...

So let me start out by saying this. I have been into All Grain for almost two years now. With respects to hops, I am certainly finding that I am enjoying recipes that have more hops in them than say, 1.5 years ago. My typical beers will have 1 to 1.5 oz of hops for the entire 5 gallon batch...

BTW, I am a nerd... and it's not meant to be a derogatory statement. Ok. So let me see if I can translate my thoughts to something resembling coherent English.. My time travel topic will have a medical element in it as well. So lets assume two things. First, time travel is possible...

Hello all. Love these Forums. I live in Calgary Canada. I found HomebrewTalk while searching for all grain recipe ideas. I've been brewing for decades (on and off) and have been into all grain for about a year now. I kid you not, I am making the BEST beer I have ever made because of these...

As the title suggests, I am wondering how the "big guys" force carbonate in bottles? I've tried doing some google searches but all I get is assumptions or vague wording. I do all grain and keg. I know how "I" carbonate. But this is a big volume (as compared to one bottle) of beer and it's...

Hi all. Hi just finished converting my brew pot to electric. At the recommendation of the owner of the Home brew Store I frequent, I opted for two 120 volt 1500 watt elements in my brew pot. So today I decided to test with plain water. My volume was 7.5 gallons and the water temp was 53F at...

Hi all, So I have done maybe 20 all grain brews so far. Everything is great so far! But I was wondering... So basically I batch sparge right now. So this is two steps and two times that I heat water. Strike and Sparge. Is it possible to add my total boil volume of strike water(plus more...

HI all, I performed a cursory search on these forums and didn't find anything related to my question. So I use PBW. I like it. However, it is stupid expensive. So here is my question. I noticed the very first time I used it, that it looks/smells/feels exactly like "old school" powdered...
