I've got at least 100 more than I can use, four copy paper boxes worth. They are primarily Sam Adams but there are a few Sierra Nevada bottles. I'll even toss in a wood crate from the HBT DIY thread. I'm near Gainesville FL on 441.

About a month or so ago I inquired with Auber Instruments about making a DS18B20 probe for use with Arduino and other uC's and they obliged. It uses the same style QD cable as the pt100 probes making clean up easy if you have to pack away your gear after brewing like I do...

A few weekends ago I brewed a couple of AG batches. Been working on dialing in my system and getting good numbers for BeerSmith. After I filled the fermentors, I drained the trub & leftovers, chiller, hoses into some pitchers & cups so I could get a measurement. Made my notes & stuck it all in...

First totally amateur attempt in Beersmith after gleaning a number of similar recipes. TYPE: All Grain Batch Size 5.00 gal Estimated OG: 1.055 SG Estimated Color: 31.9 SRM Estimated IBU: 39.0 IBUs Boil Time: 60 Minutes Ingredients: 9 lbs Pale Malt, Maris Otter 10.0 oz...

I'm BIAB brewing the Pottstown Common using shadows69 variation. There's 2# of flaked corn in the recipe so I thought it best to add some AE. Brew U says to add the AE to the mash, Beersmith says to add it when the yeast is pitched. Which would be best? Recipe: Yuengling Lager Clone 2.51 6#s...

I'm familiar with the bazooka screen & false bottoms folks use, is there some reason that you wouldn't use a voile bag? A pita to sparge? No advantage over a screen? Too easy to get a stuck sparge?

Trying to find a ~ 30 qt. stainless pot that has a lip (as opposed to straight sides) that measures 13.5" to the OD of the lip and 13" tall. Nothing fancy. If anyone has any leads, searching the web has been less than productive.

First, a note of thanks to all these members for sharing their ideas and inspiring me. Disintegr8or https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/how-build-5-gal-110v-ebiab-kettle-304914/ https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-first-post-simple-ebiab-homebrew-journey-288663/ Seven...

I E-brewed, the AG Centennial Blonde recipe posted elsewhere on HBT. I used 5 gal of bottled water just because it needed to be used and added 3.5 more gal. of moderately hard well water. I ended up with about 8.2 gal. after mash out. I expected boil over with 8 gal in an 11 gal. pot and stood...

Thanks to Flomaster and his thread I picked up a Thermatake USB desk fan from Amazon It's a 3" fan with a retracting USB power cord and a speed control. The first thing I did was take it apart. Removed the 4 screws and the little stand. I moved the screws around to serve as legs &...

I have no affiliation with the seller, just ran across the listing in a search. They have 5 of them available. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-PID-temperature-control-timer-and-contactor-panel-/110713710218?pt=AU_Barware&hash=item19c70d268a#ht_504wt_874

I know Coke pin locks & Pepsi ball locks are different. I was wondering if there are any ball lock kegs that might be slightly smaller in diameter, I'm talking about an 1/8"-1/4" variation. Maybe one manufacturer to another? Or the single handle version vs. others.

I'm toying with the Yuengling like clone in Beersmith based on recipe research posted elsewhere on HBT. I was wondering what I could expect if I were to ferment it as an ale instead of a lager. I'm totally clueless when it comes to designing a beer and I'm just learning my way around Beermith...

Was looking for a mash paddle, didn't really want wood for a number or reasons. Ran across this 30 in. stainless paddle on Amazon for $15.70. Don't know why it's the cheapest of the group but it appears pretty well made, not overly heavy.

This weekend I mixed up a Munton's Gold IPA kit. It makes 6 gallons so I dumped two gal in a Mr. Beer keg and the rest in a corny. I pitched US-05 in the corny and I pitched the Munton's kit yeast in the Mr. Beer. I also had a pack of Mr. Beer booster that was getting pretty tattered from...

Just saying howdy from near Gainesville. You can blame Disintegr8or and chuckjaxfl for me being here and my in-laws for giving me a Mr. Beer which was the push I needed to dig a little deeper. I had given up on the idea of home brewing after being intimidated by all the fancy brewing set ups...

ETA: The discussion started by WortMonger regarding using the spunding valve. My main interest is in using it to carbonate in the keg during fermentation. According to the Wiki pressure fermenting apparently reduces fusel alcohols and esters and hastens the fermentation and reduces the krausen...

NM, a little deeper digging answered my question.
