For sale: My three-stage brew stand. This was fabricated for me by a professional fabricator. it is a three-keggle brew stand, with burners and a common rail gas line. The frame is built from tubular steel and designed to be strong enough to hold the weight of all the equipment (full...

AS is...it will be a crowd pleaser, but still be more flavorful than a BMC. Eerersrrsrh?)l Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Sorry, man. The RIMS tube is applying heat to the RIMS. You're right; my schematic for the logic calls the tube the "RIMSsystem" so i'm used to calling the heating portion of the system the 'RIMS". In a couple of weeks, I'll have an opportunity to move the sensor position to the heating...

Thanks for all the input, guys. I'm friends with the SABCO folks, and I know their system relies upon thermostatic control (as opposed to RIMS). I DID take the added necessary step of installing a fitting at the end of the RIMS tube, if I decide to move the sensor there. The concern I...

Folks, Pardon me, please, if this ground has already been ploughed, but I cannot find where my questions have been addressed after some searching. I am having difficulty controlling the temperature of my mash using a RIMS system, and would like some recommendations on how to better control...

crane-- I suspect you're correct in terms of a strainer. my intent when posting this would be to put the strainer in an easily-accessible way into my plumbing, which would be more easily-maintained than tearing my plumbing apart and cleaning out my RIMS tube. Upon further investigation, I...

I've built a brewing rig that uses a RIMS system, and this weekend's brew session saw a failure of the false bottom; needless to say, I had to disassemble the plumbing and clean out a RIMS tube that was PACKED with grain. Does anyone have a recommendation for a stainless steel strainer...

Nope, no pickle jars were used. I understand they were picked, packed and stored in freezer bags.

I received a pound of wet Cascade hops that someone grew, and was delighted to start crafting an all-cascade IPA with the help of some dry additions for FWH, so that the wet hops could be showcased as aroma and flavor hops. The guy also gave me a bottle of Pale Ale he brewed with it, and when...

You may be onto something. I could almost suggest that the flavor is a butterscotchy flavor. I am now doing a starter for everything I brew. The Altbier experiment came through great. It actually came out more as a nut brown ale type of flavor than what I've had as an altbier, but I'd bet...

I work in Maumee (office in Arrowhead Park). Barr's Public House always has interesting stuff on tap. Last i was in there, they had Boddington's Pub Ale on Nitro--that's when I discovered that I didn't care for beer on Nitro. :) Other 'n that, head to P-burg and Swig.

If you just want to buy craft beer, here's where you go: The Anderson's Marines in Sylvania Churchills The beer and wine cave---they also have beer on tap and growlers. Most of the liquor stores are also figuring out te mix-and-match concept

I Don't think you're trying very hard, friend. I have my fair share of gripes about Toledo, but finding good beer at good restaurants is not one of them. Most of the places I frequent, are not in Toledo proper, but consider to be in the Toledo area. Here's my list of places where you can go to...

Just wanted to give everyone an update; I cold-crashed the carboy of Altbier yesterday in hopes of getting some of that not-very-flocculent German Ale yeast to settle down. I bottled a case of it using DME for carbonation, and kegged the other half. Got a case in bottles and about a...

I did an experiment like this, but changed hops instead of malts. I didn't work out as well as I had hoped, but the experiment was a success in that I hopped the same wort with five different hop varieties, and they were dramatically different. If I we setting out to do this experiment, I...

My interest was in saving the cost of CO2 by doing this. I typically would just make a gallon of PBW and Star San and blow it out using the compressor. then after rinsing the keg out, I'd fill and carbonate using the CO2 at that point. It's definitely a step I overlooked, given how I was...

Well, the only reason why i ever started doing this in the first place is because CO2 is expensive, and I didn't want to waste it. I never use a compressor to propel beer, just cleaning solutions. But I can see, from a contamination standpoint, where residual moisture could potentially get...

Benny, I do not have results on the altbier yet. Seeing the bubbler slowing down, decided to take a gravity reading (very carefully, thoroughly washing the thief and soaking it in Star San before dipping). I'm at 1.020. I usually taste the samples, and while I think I made this beer waaaaay too...
