I hope I have posted this in the right place. Posting this from the Mobile App. I want to bypass the crappy motherboad and use my Johnson Control going forward. When I unhooked the wiring from the motherboard there were 4 wires. Which two do I wire together? What about the remaining wires? There...

I had read all the posts regarding this guy several years back but apparently had a brain fart and ordered some stuff from him without making the connection. He took my money on the 13th and today, the 22nd, there is still no package, no email confirmation and no tracking number. He has not...

I am trying to come up with a cost effective way to help my CFC bring temps down a little lower. Has anyone tried something like this? Will it be efficient enough to work? I apologize for this weak rendering of my idea. My plan is to use regular water to bring temps down as far as they will...

I received my latest order from Brewmaster's WH yesterday. I took the Erlenmeyer 20L Flask that I ordered and set it next to the sink to be washed. The SWMBO walks in a minute later and says.... "Hey, nice Beaker.."

I have a 3lb bag of Plain Extra Light DME that I have had about a year. It has never been opened. Is this still good? I plan to use it for starters.....

I bought about 20' of Silicone Tubing and I am about to cut it to length. They will be used for a single pump system attaching to valves on all vessels. I started to go with 3' but decided I would see what you guys have done and how it worked. Thanks....

My brewing partner just got his hands on this Oxygen Concentrator. It states in the specs online: Oxygen Output: 95.6% to 87% at all flow rates Seems like this would be a nice addition to the future brew rig. Anyone ever heard of using one of these gizmos for Aeration?

Well, the SWMBO has booted me off the carport and out of the adjoining shed. So, my brewing partner Trey and I are moving North Doyle Brewing to the backyard. My Mother in law lives next door and has used a building in the backyard to store a lot of crap. We decided to commandeer part of the...

I am thinking of switching to large diameter tubing for blowoffs during heavy fermentation. Yesterday I noticed that Lowe's had pretty good prices on 1" clear tubing. What is a good size for a 6.5 gal carboy?

My SWMBO has worked for Wells Fargo for several years and may have an opportunity to transfer out West in the future. She asked me to check out several cities including Portland, Oregon. Many of you guys from that area? I have 8 dogs so I would need at least an acre. I suppose that means I...

I am planning on building a Heat Exchanger within my HLT. I have read a lot about the virtues of using a HEX to dial in Mash Temps but I have never seen anything on using a HEX to dial in Sparge Water temps. The reason I ask is that I have read where sparging with water over 170 degrees can...

I am putting together an HLT out of Sankey keg. Starting with a spigot and a thermometer. But, I would like to add a Sight Glass and possibly work my old 25' immersion chiller in there to recirculate my mash. (Once I get a pump) My question has to do with the 25' immersion chiller. Is that...

Looking real hard at Mutilated1's Stella Recipe and was wondering what would be a good Wyeast equivalent. Wyeast Labs European Lager - Private Collection?

I just had the chance to drink one of these recently and really, really enjoyed it. I am about to brew my first lager and thought this would be a great way to start. Anyone know of a good Clone recipe for this one? Thanks!

Since I made the jump to AG I have yet to Fly Sparge. I brewed a couple of 5gal AG batches then made the jump to 10gal. Each time I have sparged with 2equal amounts. I havent had any issues hitting my volumes or gravity. My next brewday will be 2 separate 5 gal batches, back to back, and I...

I am brewing today and I thought I would try to Oxygenate my wort with a stone. Walmart has this 2-pack for less than $2.00. It does not say what size it is or anything else about it. What do you think folks?http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290300672006

I would like to start using oxygen to aerate by wort instead of the usual chair dance I have to do with each carboy. I have a Cutting Torch rig set up on a dolly. Can I use the Oxygen bottle to aerate my wort? Is oxygen from welding supply stores okay for that purpose?

Hello all, I found Edwort's Bee Cave Brewery Bavarian Dunkelweizen at Brewmaster's Warehouse and will be brewing it tomorrow morning. I am going for the "Hat Trick" with these Bee Cave recipes as I have had nothing but good luck. My question is, has anyone brewed this recipe? This is my first...

I notice that, even on the Sabco, the Keggle Thermometers are placed about as low as they can go before the curvature of the keg. Is that the norm? I am installing a Brewmometer on my keggle as it will pull double duty as an HLT till I can procure another Keggle. I plan on drilling my holes...
