First off, if this ad violates the rules of the classifieds, apologies and I'll take it down. We developed this brewery over a decade ago based heavily on techniques and even items gleaned from Homebrewtalk.com - it was our foremost and best resource in an era where nano breweries were hard...

Would anyone be willing to point me in the right direction? I am looking for a turn-key solution for our existing MT. It's 2.5 BBL. Set up for single infusion. It suffers from temp stratification issues. I want to add a RIMS tube or something similar. Would like to purchase a panel, elements...

I am in the process of building a 1+BBL system and am looking for feedback on the best false bottom or mash screen to use. Is a bazooka screen large enough for this? Also, the outlet is situated in front of and slightly above a V-shaped channel and I'm concerned about leaving behind wort. Any...

Has anyone purchased and used the larger conicals offered by Stout? I'm curious to see your opinion. I'm trying to decide b/w Blichmann and Stout and would like some real world comparisons. One question in particular is if you look at the comparisons on Blichmann and Stout pages things don't...

I am seeing low gravity readings for a Blond Ale recipe I'm working on and am looking for the most sensible way to increase the alcohol content. I've now knocked down a 5 gal and back-to-back 12 gal (combined in a 30 gal fermenter). I'm posting my brew logs below. A few important points...

Hi, I have two coils of 50' of stainless 3/8 headed my way. They come with no fittings on the ends. What should I use to connect to my taps/kegs? I've seen the swagelok fittings but there are many variations so I'm not ready to pull the trigger on $30 of incorrect fittings. Any suggestions...

Hello all, in mid-October I am going to ship a couple of pallets of kegs and misc. equipment from Boston to NY to Limon, CR to San Jose, CR (Boston to San Jose, CR). I have one other person interested in sending some corny kegs. Anyone else interested in getting in on the action? -Ryan...

So this is 9 months into my first shot at a barleywine. It has been in a secondary corny keg for about 7 months. The fungus is gelatinous, but firm and was a 1/4 inch film completely covering the top layer of the keg (not under pressure)- which turns out to have a leak at the base of the OUT...

Hello all, My wife and I are back in costa rica and poised to make the next move on construction of our mini-brewery. Back in the states I acquired a three-tier gravity system and brewed some moderatly successful all-grain batches - this ****´s easy... well, not really at all and I´m fully...

I've read in a couple different sources you should add water to the carboy once you've completed the boil, crashed the temp and transferred to the carboy. I've only done three all-grain brews (and three brews ever) and I'm pretty inefficient with the boil; I'm basically ending up with 2.5-3.5...

Hello all. Great forum - I've been reading for nearly a year and recently purchased/modified an all-grain three tier system and two weeks ago brewed my first batch... a Belgian ale... which may just be total suck-city. I now understand you are not supposed to mash in your hot water tank. Who...
