So, My LHBS posted in IG that they are looking for a weekend guy. I saw the ad a few weeks ago and have beem mulling it over ever since. Pros: Cool factor - I work in a Home Brew Shop Meet a lot of homebrewers and people in the industry Learn a ton Probable discounts (however I don't know how...

So, luckily, the very first homebrew book i read, told me how to pronounce wort in the forst few pages, saving be years of enbarrassment. but dang it, i was liting to the Brulosphy podcast over thw eekend and found out that i have been pronouncing trub (trube) wrong since like 2009? what else...

Apologies if this has been asked or if I asked in the wrong place (which would explain why I can't find the question already asked). I have only a couple BIAB sessions under my belt and was doing only partial boils for years as an extract brewer. Therefore these calculations are new to me...

Well, in my fervor to brew a lot, having taken off a week of work to brew and catch up on chores, I totally spaced out and realized i left an airlock dry for about 24 hours. I put water in it asap and expected some immediate activity. This was not the case. I let it sit another day before check...

Since i got no takers on my old fridge, this morning I decided to turn it into my summer fermentation chamber. Looks like I’ll be limited to two fermenters for now.

Well i was semi successful with my first BIAB brew day. I have wort that’s pretty tasty prefermentment but just not as much as I expected. Looks like my boil was a little hotter than calculated. I thought I’d end up with a solid 5 gallons in the bucket but its more like 4.25. It’s gonna end up a...

I don't know if any of you have tried this double burner, but it kicks A** 2 burners, 75,000btu EACH! Gets 3 gallons of tap water (partial boils, extract brewing) boiling in 10 mins. I am about to see how long it takes to get 7.5 gallons going this weekend. Its also nice and sturdy, a good...

After years of partial boils using extract kits, like 8 years, I finally decided to go with the BIAG method. Gonna go cheap. Bought a decent 15 gallon kettle, no ports or anything fancy, and a really nice immersion chiller, 1/2” x 50’. This way i am already set up to do 10 gallon batches if I...

Anyone had any luck plugging a leaky pin-lock keg? I’ve tried new O-rings and keg sealer jelly (forget the name, but it’s similar in texture to petroleum jelly) also. It seems like it’s much too easy to close the lever causing a loose seal. I no longer have a bench clamp or I’d try bending it...
