    "Brew & Wine Hobby" Store in Danvers, MA. Good or bad?

    Title says it all. Any of you all ever dealt with B&WH? What was your experience? They've been around since 1972, yet I rarely see them mentioned here unlike some of the other online vendors. They have a 1st gen Blichmann burner that I'm thinking about buying which is much cheaper than a...

    Komos/Kegland Kegerator Tower Question

    I have a Komos kegerator with the 4 tap tower, so the screw holes that connect it to the kegerator are on the inside of the tower compared to the 1/2/3 tap towers where the screw holes are on the outside (and easy to measure). I'm thinking about swapping that tower out with my old 4 tap T tower...

    Another keg that won't seal $#@&%!!!

    I did a brew earlier today. Just a small 4 gallon batch that I wanted to throw in a keg to pressure ferment. For those that pressure ferment, what do you do if you have a keg that "passes" just to start leaking after your fill it and pitch the yeast? I can't find the leak anywhere. I pressurize...

    Nukatap and/or Intertap individual part availability?

    @KegLand (or anyone) Can I get individual parts for a Nukatap/Intertap faucet? The part in question is the 2 red cup seals for the Nukatap (they're white for the Intertap faucets) that surround the ball portion of the tap lever. I have two Nukataps and each one had a split in the cup while a 3rd...

    Thoughts on Blichmann's Boilermaker Surface?

    I've only seen Beer & BBQ with Larry mention it in one of his videos, but it looks like a slick e-kettle. Anyone have one of these setups yet or is it still a new release? Could one get the 20G version with the 240V Brew Commander and be ready to jump into eBIAB brewing or is there more to it...

    Any Other All Rounder (or other Fermzilla) Owners Have Issues Holding Pressure?

    This past month hasn't been kind to me. The last beer, I severely underpitched and the resulting beer is kinda "meh" even though somewhat drinkable. The current one, I decided to use my All Rounder for it. I found out (the hard way) it won't hold pressure. To make things worse, this was going to...

    Recipe Question

    Yesterday, I did a 4 gallon batch Brew Day. It was a Pilsner smash with Saaz hops. OG was 1.046. 60 min boil with hop additions 1oz at 45 min, 1oz at 30 min, and 2oz whirlpooled for 20 min at 160F (I overshot my chilling, meant to be 15 min at 170F). The hop AA is 3.5%. I pitched a 4 month old...

    Walk Me Through a Pressurized Closed Transfer Please.

    Hi all. I plan on kegging a double batch I brewed about a month ago. Currently it's at 15psi at 64F. In the past, I've just bled off the pressure of the fermenter before transfer and pushed it to my serving keg at 2psi. My thoughts are to connect a jumper gas post to gas post from fermenter to...

    I Was Bored So I Added a Shift Knob To My Mash Paddle

    Now I guess I have a "mash paddle shifter". 🤪 The knob came from my Jeep TJ I used to have. I have a JK now and wanted to find a matching knob for the transfer case. I haven't, so figured what the hell. Got to admit, it feels pretty good in my hands, so look forward to my next brew day. Now...

    What Is Hoch-Kurz Mashing and Some Other Questions

    For the most part, I get Hoch-Kurz is mashing 'high/short'. So, how could this be applied to those who are propane based and still use a cooler? For reference, my rig has two burner for the boil and hlt, and my cooler (if it matters) has a stainless liner, I just can't direct fire it. 1 So, how...

    The Point Of No Return For Grain, Hops, Etc?

    I've recently went through some of my inventory and noticed the dating (when I remembered to date it) of some of my ingredients. When is it the point to where those items are not worth using it in a recipe? Is there another use for them? I'm pretty fruggle and I hate to throw anything away if...

    Some Yeast Questions and Recommendations

    I've been going through my inventory and found some old dry yeast in the back of my fridge. It's from 2018 (Lellamand Belle Saison, 2 packs). I found an unopened bag of light DME I had bought and forgot about from 2017. I made a small 2L of 1.020 wert, added some nutrient, and the yeast took off...

    DIY Kegmenter

    Back this past summer I posted about getting a floating dip tube for a 15 gallon corny I had sitting around collecting dust. I thought about selling the keg a couple of times, but decided to see if I could make it as another double batch fermenter in case my Spike conical was in use. So after...

    Floating Dip Tube Tubing Question

    Anyone know where you can get just the tubing itself that's used on the floating dip tube kits for the Fermzilla fermenters and Torpedo kegs?

    19.2 Ounce Cans

    One of my favorite go to's is Founders' All Day IPA. The beer store near me has three 19.2 cans (aka the "Stovepipe") for $6 , so I load up and get 12 from time to time. Most of the other 3 for $6 beers are pint cans, so I feel I'm gaining with the Founders. Maybe it's just me (when I'm...

    Brewfather Water Profile Questions

    For those who use Brewfather, how are you making your water adjustments? I'm lost on some of this. I'm brewing a pale ale that's going to be dry hopped. So in the water profile, I pick "Hoppy" as the target profile and it lists the salt additions as.... Hoppy: Ca2+ 110 Mg2+ 18 Na+ 16...

    Can Cask Beer be Mimicked in something besides a Pin or Firkin?

    Every now and then, I like to go through old BrewingTV episodes and one of my favorites is the oatmeal stout that Mike and Jake put in a pin for a cask style beer (minus the engine). It's Ep 38 None More Cask for those who haven't seen it That got me thinking.....if you don't have a pin or...

    Canadian Homebrewers, Rush beer any good?

    I'm a huge Rush fan and pretty much anything prog rock (if my username didn't give it away). Has anyone tried Henderson's new Rush themed beer, Canadian Golden Ale? What are your thoughts? I found on their web sight the list of ingredients and was wondering if any of you guys/gals would help me...

    NPT vs Triclamps, Anyone ever go all triclamp and regret it?

    Is there anyone here who has went through and replaced all their NPT connections with triclamps? After cleaning my ball valves last night, Spike's v4+ kettles look a lot more attractive. I have asked them about sending in my v3 kettles to replace the NPT ports with 1.5" triclamps, and was told...
