Interesting that more companies don't make geared mills. What is the issues people face with 3-Roller mills? Is it getting the gap right?

Do you have the SS monster mill? I's assume so or else you would have rust.

Came across a good deal on some bulk grain and now I am looking to get a grain mill. I have been searching for the forum and found a lot of posts about "which mill is better ? Mill A or Mill B?", but I cannot find anything that really answers the following questions: 1) Is it worth investing...

Yea that was my thoughts as well. The flow control looks appealing for filling growlers. But not sure if it is worth the money.

Putting the final touches on my new Keezer. About to pull the trigger on the equipment to install two faucets. I am trying to figure out if a dual body regulator or Perlick flow control faucets are worth the additional cost. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Hi All! I recently convinced the wife to let be buy a chest freezer for the garage. The intention was primarily for temp controlled fermentation, but I also wanted to dual purpose as a keezer (bottling was a major reason I took a break from the hobby for a year). The chest freezer is 7 cu...

Hello All, I just acquired a 7 cu ft. chest freezer that I would ideally like to turn into a dual purpose fermentation chamber, which can fit 1 carboy and 2 ball lock kegs. My idea was to use a temperature controller to set the temperate for the kegs, then use another temperature...

Ideally I would like something easier to clean (I hate carboy brushes) and something easier to get hops in and out of for dry hopping. I know people are going to say "buckets!", but would like something a bit more robust.

Hello All, Looking to upgrade my starter fermenter I got with my starter kit. I have been eying some of the ones from SS Brewtech so that I can use the FTSs. I have been looking the brew bucket for $225, but I see the conical is $395. I don't plan to harvest yeast, but the idea of dumping...

I am looking for a solution to control temperature on my fermentation is a small space. I do not have room for a fridge, so I am evaluating the following: 1) SS Brew Bucket with the FTSs temperature control. 2) Glass Carboy with CoolZone temperature control. To me, the FTSs seems more...

So is Red Hook. www.redhook.com

This looks like a really good suggestion. I will give it a shot! Thanks!

Either extract or all-grain is fine. I can do either. Would like to use north American hops if possible but I know a lot of east coast ales use English hops. So I am open to either. Thanks for the suggestions thus far!

I am brewing some beer for a wedding in October and have been working on pilot batches already to get the beer recipes locked down early. The theme of the brews that are going to be made are a west coast vs east coast. Since the bride is from the west coast and the groom is from the east...

I am about to purchase some equipment so that I can do full volume boils. However, I have a couple thoughts in my head that I keep battling about what directions to go. I would really appreciate some guidance. I do not intent this to turn into any kind of flame war. I am just a new guy looking...

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a Blichmann Boilermaker. Before I do so, I am trying to figure out how I best want to handle hop additions. I am a fan of just tossing them in and letting them get the full extraction. Currently I am using a 5 gallon kettle for partial boils and I have...

I have been trying to research aerating my wort through either an aquarium pump or pure O2. I cannot really find any information that says one is better than the other. I know the idea is to get O2 in the wort for the yeast cells to help replicate. I also know that with a pump, you will saturate...

Awesome! This is very reassuring. I really do appreciate the feedback. Think I will try it for my next batch.

At this point, I have a few extract batches under my belt and have started to venture out and attempt brewing different styles of beers. There are recipes I want to make but the problem I am facing in my local home brew store really only has Light and Dark extract on hand, which makes brewing...

In my attempts to finds a good website to teach various lessons on homebrewing, I stumbled onto homebrewacademy.com. The free content seems pretty good. The articles are well written and the videos are awesome. However if I Google to see if anyone has any thoughts on the site, I cannot seem to...
