    CAD drawings of panels?

    Hey Guys, I have all the parts for my DIY control panel coming in and was going to start modeling up my enclosure. Does anyone have any CAD drawings of panels that you have made? I know a lot of people buy the enclosures from Home Depot and drill out the cutouts, but I am planning on 3D...

    Can someone tell me what I need for QD's on a Shirron plate chiller?

    I just bought a Shirron plate chiller and I'm having a hard time piecing together the fittings that I'll need for it because I don't have it on hand and can't really visualize what I'll need. My plan right now is to use the valve on my kettle to drain through the chiller. I currently have a...

    Anyone in McKinney, TX have a water report? (bru'n water issues)

    I'm trying to nail down my bru'n water spreadsheet and was curious if anyone here brews in McKinney, TX and had a water report handy. I have seen the one listed online, but when I put those numbers into the spreadsheet it's telling me the numbers are faulty - I assume because the water report...

    Need some help on a honey/mexican vanilla blonde ale recipe (Feisty Blonde)

    There is a small brewery here in Texas that makes a honey blonde with Mexican vanilla added and it is probably one of my top 3 beers - it's called Feisty Blonde. It is surprisingly heavy for it being a blonde with its 8.27% ABV. I'm a new brewer and don't know much in the way of developing a...

    Weird gas post on new keg

    I ordered a re conditioned keg off of eBay from a seller that I bought my last keg from. The first keg is fine, it looks like your typical corny keg. This second keg has an odd gas post on it, instead of a typical 6 point nut at the base of the post it has this weird star thing and I have tried...

    OG too high, can I add water? (BIAB)

    On pretty much all of my batches I've been going off of the recipe boil size when I start my mash, so if the recipe says boil size is 7.5 gallons that's what I put in my kettle when I start to heat the water for the mash. Pretty much all 3 or 4 batches I've done so far have resulted in lower...

    Another side by side kegerator/fermentation chamber build

    I'm new to home brewing - have only brewed a few batches. I've been having some issues with a sour smell to my last few batches and noticed my pantry is getting a little warm, so I decided to go ahead and make a fermentation chamber. My dad had this old fridge, so I got to work and knocked it...

    Sour smell to my batch

    Hi Guys, So I've brewed 3 batches so far, one Brooklyn Brewshop kit, one Mr. Beer kit and my most recent, Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde, which is the batch in question. Keep in mind I bottled the kit batches and decided to keg this Centennial Blonde. The first two batches went good and taste...

    CO2 Refill in North Dallas, TX?

    I'm fairly new to home brewing and brewed a 5 gallon batch last weekend that I am planning on kegging - this will be my first time kegging. I bought a shiny red KEGCO CO2 tank off of Craigslist and need to get it filled before I can keg obviously. The issue is, I need a REFILL and not a SWAP - I...
