Like many of you have already done, I've now done also. Simple sump pump design with PVC fittings that allow for cleaning the IN and OUT posts as well as a threaded fitting so that I can remove the spray ball for cleaning the fermenter as well. Notes: - I purchased a 1/2HP sump pump with a...

Does anybody really know how to use and adjust this thing? I feel like I've seen so many different articles and videos of people offering their own thoughts, but nothing too concrete. This video for example, walks through a mock brew day and how to find your overall total efficiency. It ends...

Last night as I was racking my beer, I found this little guy clinging to the side of the primary carboy. Initially I was ticked that somehow this guy had snuck in there aside from my being very careful about staying clean and sanitary, then I started thinking about potential bug puns and/or new...

I just picked up a couple RioRand DS18b20 temp probes and am realizing that they might have been a bit of an impulse buy :smack:. I've got a few questions for the electrically gifted users on this board. 1) These things read celsius. Is there any way to convert them to fahrenheit? 2) How the...

To start off, I did this on my magic chef hmcf7w1. Other freezers may be different, but if you're slow and steady I don't see how you can ruin anything. I have been wanting to mount my CO2 tank outside my freezer for a while now simply to monitor pressure easier and have more room for hoses and...

We've had an exceptionally cold last couple of days out here in Colorado and unfortunately for me I don't think kegerators were meant to operate at below freezing temps. A couple days ago I kegged a chocolate espresso stout that I've been waiting over 2 months for. I turned my CO2 up to 20psi...

I've noticed now that my kegged beer usually tastes significantly better than my bottled beer and I'm trying to figure out exactly why. I just tried my citrus IPA and from the keg I get a very smooth grapefruit taste with a comfortable hop bitterness that even somebody that doesn't care for IPAs...

I'm brewing in keggles and have an undersized immersion chiller which, by itself, takes a long time. I went out and picked up the plastic tub with rope handles that a lot of people seem to use, but I quickly found that my keggle wont fit with the ball valve installed in the bottom. I found a...

We are tossing a handful of SS ductwork parts because they have some really minor defects and can't be used in the field. I admit I'm a bit of a hoarder and am having a hard time throwing all this stuff away (it's not cheap). I've already snagged a cover that I can use as a perfect lid to one of...

I'm not part of any fancy "clubs" or anything like that, but I'm moving towards AG brewing and I'd really like to standby somebody that's a bit experienced and try to pick up a few tips/tricks throughout the whole process. I've been brewing for about 1.5 years and recently realized that I've...

Hi, I'm Brian. Please feel free to call me Brian. I will laugh quietly to myself if you call me HiImBrian. I've been home brewing for over a year now and am finally to the point where I'm graduating to all grain brewing. I'm just about wrapped up with acquiring all the necessary essentials and...
