    Inappropriately named brews...

    Mobcraft took a lot of heat about a year ago for one thier finalists that had dates and grapes in it. Title was the singular of those two ingredients.

    Surly Darkness Recipe

    shilinshuai, what was your FG? I hit 1125 OG w skibbs recipe and it pooped out at 1045. Mashed too high, but did so based off a big dark barleywien w 1968 that went from 1127 to 1034. So I was a few point higher than my 1040 target. Drank the hydro sample and it didn't seem overly heavy for...

    Developing a house SMaSH recipe for 4 oz hops, need feedback

    Yup. No reason to go true smash here. I use the row 2 hill 56 recipe for this. Has pils, MO and c20. Use 4 oz of the test hop. 2 oz dry. 1 oz 0 min. The remaining oz is in the 30 and 90 with added magnum or warrior at 90 if need to hit target ibu.

    Buy once cry once thoughts

    If you can use them in your current and future state, yes buy the better kettles now with the added ports if you can afford them. I do like the suggestion on doing BIAB for now in your situation. Get your nice HERMs mash tun now (and probably the false bottom just so you have it for future in...

    Online shops to use? Or avoid?!

    I get a lot from ritebrew. Shipping is low if you’re in the Great Lakes region and spend over 75. It’s usually $3-4 for me, but im close to them. Hops from yakama valley. I still get my specialty grains, sacks, and yeast from NB as they’re real close and those prices are good when you stack AHA...

Add as needed. I’ve been adding on a per glass basis as haven’t got around to adding to keg. I’m using...

    Northern Brewer/Ab InBev - What's the prognosis 1 year on?

    I live near the Milwaukee store. I really haven’t noticed much of a difference. Staff is great there. Prices are competitive on grain if you plan accordingly. Buy gift cards when they do the buy 100 get 20. Use AHA discount. Then buy sacks when they run 20% off one or all items... Pretty much...

    Belgian Saison 3724 starter question

    Looks fine. Different yeasts. Different krausens. Some just get a little and some overflow and make a good mess. As long as it’s bubbling away.

    Anybody bought tools from CPO Outlet?

    I bought a makita track saw from CPO, order through jet.com, and it had straightness issues on the tracks. CPO customer service was great and worked with me and jet to take care of the issue and get straight rails. Look at CPO items through jet and you may get a better deal than straight through...

    Why do you make wine?

    If you already brew, you already have the equipment. So there’s really no additional investment other than the kit itself. Making a wine kit feels like cheating it’s so easy compared to beer. Dump juice in, add water and mix in some packets of stuff... A wine kit brew day is about a half hour...

    Does anybody have experience with Candi Syrup d-240

    I’d be curious if anyone has experience with this stuff. Placed an order with Williams yesterday and picked up a lbs of this on sale. Couldn’t pass up for $3.50 and no additional shipping. Now just need to figure what to do with it.

    Cutting it too close for a 30A controller?

    I have a 50a panel that I run two 5500W elements at a time. I can also run three pumps, even though I only currently have two. With two elements running and and two pump running it pulling about 48.1A per the amp meter built in. Running just one chugger pump, it shows 1.3-1.4A. Also, odds are...

    Tri Clover Integrated Heating Element

    I have three of these for a HLT and two boil kettles. Went this route right off the bat and cant imagine having a long cords attached to the kettles. Makes it really easy to take the kettle to the sink and rinse it out. Also with two boil kettles on a 50a panel, I can use the HLT PID to do...

    Building a HERMS setup but want to BUY the controller

    Laminarman, caution is good for any electrical but don’t be afraid of it. 240 or 120 can kill you. Just don't touch two wires at the same time. ;) If you can build an audio amp or preamp, Im sure you can build panel. My last bit of advise is that you should get the best tools you can afford...

    Building a HERMS setup but want to BUY the controller

    Dude! I said I’m not going to argue with you on this and you’re all over the place. This thread about a guy looking for advise on a prebuilt panel. Elements arent part of a panel kit or assembly. I never implied anything about $300 assembly cost. I just stated prices listed online. You inferred...
