    Confession time: would you buy the beer(s) you have brewed in a bar?

    When I stopped focusing on crazy beers and went back to brewing traditional styles my beers went to another level. Now not all of my beers are perfect but rarely do I have to pour any out! Some of the better ones lately would be a honey wheat, Vienna lager, Bock, and a saison. Those would all...

    How to clean out moldy pump

    I usually run PBW through mine, followed by a clean water flush. I run my pump during the last 15 minutes of the boil, so that does my sanitizing.

    The Grainfather vs Blichmann BrewEasy (Electric)

    I have the 5 gallon breweasy (220v) and love it. I feel like i'm still part of the brewing process and the equipment is top-notch. I couldn't be happier.

    Great! I have a few beers on tap I think will be ready for a tasting. If they are, I'll bring some along.

    DC Area Group Buy #15

    Thanks, I fully anticipate making it up there. I'm excited to meet some new brewers and to check out 3 Stars. Can I bring my own growlers or do they only fill their own?

    DC Area Group Buy #15

    When you do a split, how does that work? Do you weigh it out there or somewhere else? I'll be driving about an hour and a half to pick up my grains and might be interested in some of that CARAFOAM if the splits go smoothly.

    The Great HBT Taco Thread

    Tacos are so much better when you make your own tortillas. Get a press and a bag of mesa. The effort is defintely worthwile.

    If you have a designated driver, Taco Bell is a classic late night dine. If you don't, stock your fridge with frozen Jalapeno White Castle burgers. They do more than get you by in a pinch!

    BIAB Equipment Help

    Hi, I have a Blichmann Breweasy which is pretty much a turn key system. My buddy is looking to get into brewing now and I told him about BIAB. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the equipment. From an initial search, I found that this is a great sized pot for 5 gallon batches...

    Brew System: BrewEasy or Build My Own?

    I have a breweasy and LOVE it. I came from extracts, to a fully decked out keggle system that I built myself, and finally ended up with the breweasy. I'm fine with building my own equipment (I'm an engineer by trade) but after doing my research, I settled on the electric turn key system and...

    Blichmann BrewEasy

    Here is a dumb question. How do you guys do your sparge at the end? Do you ramp the temp up to 170 and as soon as the tower reads that, start your 10 minute timer, or do you wait for your grain bed to reach 170 before starting the timer? I've been starting it once the wort temp hits 170 but I'm...

    SS Brew Bucket questions before ordering

    I understand what you are saying but I'm not sure you understood my post. I am asking, "so what if the o-ring fails?" I would have to go play with my racking arm, which I'll do tonight, but I don't think you even need the o-rings. Maybe it keeps the racking arm from falling to the down position...

    I'm almost positive they are. I'm trying to find the receipts but I'm not having much luck. I might just drop the prices just to move them now that the faucets are sold.

    SS Brew Bucket questions before ordering

    I don't understand why people complain about the o-rings in the racking arm. It's not like it would leak outside. They are just there to keep the arm from rotating around freely. The valve has its own o-ring but that is much more robust than the little black ones in the racking arm.
