    Vinyl decals for larger kettles

    I'm looking at putting together a new, 90 litre kettle, and I'm having a bit of trouble finding a sight glass for it. Brewhardware can easily supply the glass itself, but only sells vinyl decals up to 60 litres. Does anyone know where I could easily get a replacement set of decals?

    BiaB in a keggle

    Does anyone have trouble with removing the bag from a keggle? I'm afraid that the grain bag might swell as it's lifted, and catch on the edges of the hole cut into the keg.

    Insulation for a (Relative) of Fermentation Chiller

    I'm figuring out the design of a fermentation chamber, and I'm wondering if the soft, fluffy sort of insulation might be a better fit, given that I don't intend to use it for structural support. (The shell needs to be wood, so that I can stain i and make it look like a presentable piece of...

    Angle grinder for cutting and buffing keggles?

    I want to make some nice shiny keggles following Bobby's instructions, but I don't have an angle grinder. Would this or this do the job?

    Help anticipating efficiency

    I just got a monster mill, and as it happened it was time to make and can a batch of canned sweet wort. I thought this would be a good test run for the mill. It was, in a sense; my efficiency went from 60-something to 87%, giving me 7 gallons of wort to can rather than the planned for 5.5...

    Do big bubbles necessarily mean a pellicle?I

    I've got an irish red that's been sitting in the carboy for a couple weeks, and today I noticed some rather large bubbles. They appear milky/yeasty, but did I grow something I didn't intend to? Difficult to photograph, but nonetheless:

    Bulk whole leaf hops in Canada?

    There seem to be lots of places to get bulk whole leaf hops in the US, but does anyone have a Canadian source? The American merchants either seem to not ship to Canada or have exorbitant charges to do so that negate the purpose of buying in bulk. Normally I'd have things shipped to a receiver on...

    Having trouble bottle harvesting yeast

    I've been trying to get yeast from Unibroue's Blanche de Chambly, without much success. First I tried pitching the dregs into a 250ml Erlenmeyer, topping it off to 200ml with canned wort. After leaving it on the stir plate for a few days and then cold crashing it, I had a very, very small...

    Erlenmeyer sizing

    What would the recommended minimum and maximum percentage full for starters in Erlenmeyer flasks be? What about for boiling wort in them without boilover?

    Will my drill be ok for attaching to a mill?

    Help with the pros/cons of sanitizing agents

    So I've run out of one step, and my next brew day will be soon. I'm considering switching to Starsan, but would like some advice from more experienced brewers on how it would fit into my usage. On brew/racking day, I make a gallon of one step, siphon it into the fermenter, and then slowly...
