I have an SS Brewtech Brew Bucket with domed lid (currently, a $65 extra charge on SS Brewtech's site), 3" TC clamp, 3" TC gasket, a 3" TC end cap with 1" ID blow-off tube (takes 1" ID vinyl tubing), and a 3" TC end cap that is drilled to accept a Brew Jacket Immersion Pro (shown in 2nd photo)...

I purchased these kegs new in early 2021, so they are about as new as one can get without purchasing new. I built 5 and 3-gallon brew houses when I setup my current brewery. I am keeping the 3-gallon brew house and selling off the 5-gallon brew house. Up for sale here are two strap handle...

I built 5 and 3-gallon brew houses when I re-entered the hobby in 2020 after a four-year hiatus. Three gallons seems to be the sweet spot for me, so I parting with my five gallon setup. For sale here is the mash tune I built using all top-shelf parts. It is excellent low-use condition. I am...

I built 5 and 3-gallon brew houses when I re-entered the hobby in 2020 after a four-year hiatus. Three gallons seems to be the sweet spot for me, so I parting with my five gallon setup. For sale here is the kettle. It is excellent low-use condition. I am asking $175.00, firm. The kettle...

I have a 5-gallon AEB soda keg that is surplus to my needs that I am looking to sell for $80.00. This keg was purchased new, and has been used only a couple times of because I mostly use 3-gallon kegs (I am slowly moving to 2.5-gallon kegs). The keg is in excellent condition with no dents...

<warning: long post> *** Price $200.00 *** For sale is a unused custom-ordered Spike Brewing 10-gallon kettle. I has a 1/2" NPT full-coupling for a ball valve, a 1/2" NPT half-coupling for a thermometer or RTD probe. The half coupling is mounted low enough to brew 1/2-size batches. The kettle...

The kettle being sold in this listing holds 24 quarts (6 gallons) when filled to the top. It was designed with 2.5 to 3.0-gallon all-grain batches in mind, which are perfect for the older brewer who does not want to have to lift 5+ gallons of wort or drink 5-gallons of any given beer. All of the...

Vollrath and Polar Ware have been my "go to" stockpot and kettle manufacturers since I started brewing in the early nineties. I always thought of these two companies as rivals; however, truth be told, both companies were owned by members of the same extended family before Vollrath acquired...

Apparently, it is not legal to sell Chinese stainless steel ball valves for use in potable water applications in California, Maryland, and Vermont because they are not NSF 61, Annex G/NSF 372 certified. It doesn't matter if the ball valve in question is stainless steel or brass. I discovered...

I have been working on a custom kettle for brewing 3.5-gallon batches since rejoining the amateur brewing ranks a few months ago. I used to brew 5.5-gallon batches almost exclusively; however, that's just too much beer for my current needs. Three gallons (kegged) seems to be sweet spot between...

Let's start by defining the word "sterile." Boiled water is not sterile. It's more like hyper-sanitary. Sterile means that everything is dead, and moist 212F/100C heat does not kill spores. Water has to be raised to 250F/121C and held there for 15 minutes in order to render it completely...

Purchasing a yeast culture from a culture collection is huge leap of faith in that cultures start at $70.00 and go up to $300.00+. That's a lot of money for a yeast culture. Unlike the cultures that are available via the home brew trade, very little fermentation data is available for most of...

I brewed my first all-grain batch of beer over twenty years ago. Something that I learned fairly quickly was that mash and lauter tun design made a huge difference in the outcome of a mash. For those who have yet to make an investment in all-grain gear, I recommend single-infusion mashing with...

I just received an estimate to sanitary weld a 3/8" full union in a 6.5 gallon stock pot that took my breath away. I knew that the job was not going to be cheap, but $250.00 to cut a hole and weld a union is beyond ridiculous.

A fellow forum member asked me to demonstrate how to plate yeast from a bottle. While I do not have a complete photo shoot, I was able to shoot a couple of photos of a yeast strain that I am currently plating. I streaked the plate shown below earlier this week. I was in a hurry and it was...

For those who are just beginning to brew, figuring out how much wort is in one's kettle at any point in the boil is a simple mathematical exercise. We start by calculating volume that the wort displaces in cubic inches. The formula for calculating the volume of wort in a cylinder is...

Ninety-plus percent of the kegs that are being passed around are stolen property (not returning a keg on which a deposit has been made is theft because distributors and retailers do not have the authority to convey ownership of a keg). Keg theft has reached an epidemic level. You can bet that...
