In great shape, like new. I'm starting to have more people over and they often times pour their own beer and it's just too complicated so I am replacing it with a standard 525SS to save my floor. So, either trade for 525SS or sell for $30 plus shipping. Who wants it?!?

I made the terrible mistake of making a nice keezer collar without ever dry fitting it. The collar consists of 2x4s, and then a nice 1x6 oak trim piece that I glued onto the face on three sides. The oak covers the 2x4 collar, as well as the lid and inch or so of the chest itself. Anyway, the...

Hello All, I'm starting to look into building a steel brewstand that will eventually house 3 55 gallon pots/hlt/mlt. For now, I have a 20 Gallon boilermaker, a converted keg for MLT and a cooler for HLT. My question is, how should I go about insulating the HLT from the heat produced by the...

Hey Guys, I've seen a few different projects on here regarding people that took cabinets and things and converted them to a kegerator. I'm looking to do something similar, but I am basically looking to make a keezer from the guts of a refrigerator. I'll take 1" foam insulation and wrap it...

Hey all, I've seen this posted all over the web, however, I never see an answer to the question: How can I get the cork out of my homebrewed Belgian beers without using a cork puller? I've made 2-3 different batches now, and even after sitting for a couple of months, the corks won't budge...

Hey guys, I just recently received all of the necessary components for building my RIMS tube and controller. I've read endless ideas on wiring and configuring the control panel, however, I have yet to find any input on securing devices to my box. Obviously, they can't be floating around...

Hey Guys, I'm looking for a clone of the Green Flash Green Bullet Triple IPA. It's hands down my brother's favorite IPA and I'm looking to make 15 gallons for his wedding. I did some searching but couldn't really find much specific to this beer.

I am using a step drill bit to drill out a 7/8" hole in my keg. What do people here use for cutting oil? Obviously it needs to be something that doesn't leave a film. Sent from my XT1060 using Home Brew mobile app

Hey Guys, I recently purchased a RIMs tube as well as a keggle false bottom from norcallbrewingsolluctions.com (run by JayBird) and am just getting the pieces together to tie it all together. I got my heating element today, and the fit is tight. I got a 4500 watt 240V element that I was...

Hey everyone, I am at a crossroads with my desire to purchase a new shiny conical. I mostly do 5 or 10 gallon batches but this summer I will be making 3 different 15 gallon batches for a wedding. The wedding has put me on the fast track to purchase one in the 20ish gallon range, but that's...

That is the question.... I brewed 10 gallons of bourbon barrel porter and it came out to only about 7.5 gallons in the fermenter. I intended to add water to make the difference since I knew the wort was heavily concentrated to begin with. Fermentation has been going for 48 hours now so the...

Hello all, I have been looking into building a control panel similar to the one used in "The Electric Brewery" detailed here: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/control-panel-part-1 I won't be using electric, but rather a rims tube for my HLT and MLT, but the design will be similar...

Hey Guys, I'm looking into building a RIMS this winter, as it gets pretty cold here in Maine, and I tend to have a hard time holding my temps when I brew, even now in the fall it's tough. Anyway, I've been digging around and it seems like most people use the Auber SYL-4352 PID, but I can't...

Hey all, I've been looking into oxygen tanks and found a few M6 tanks on eBay for $30 or less including shipping. I'm just curious, does anyone know how long an M6 tank will last? It's the smallest tank they sell from what I can tell. I've obviously never used oxygen in my beer before, so...

Hey all, I made a rather high gravity (don't remember the gravity off hand, but it's about 9-9.5% ABV) Belgian Strong Golden ale and it's been aging for about 4 months (since the end of June) while I debated if I wanted to bottle or keg it. I've decided that kegging is too much pain for my...

Hey guys, I'm trying to clean out my basement of some older grains that I have had sitting around. I've also had some Northern Brewer and Vanguard Hops that I'd like to make disappear at the same time. I haven't taken inventory yet on the grains, but I know I have a bunch of Pilsner, a...

Hello, I've been tasked with making a "clone" of Gnomegang for my brother's wedding, and I'm having a very hard time locating any information other than some very basic info from BeerAdvocate. I was hoping someone out there would be able to shed some light on this beer for me. I am unable...

Hey Guys, I've had a plate chiller for a while, but until recently hadn't used it much. I've found, and I'm sure anyone out there that uses one can relate, that no matter how much I back flush and re-flush, I always get more crap coming out of it. The only thing that seems to make a bigger...

Hey all, I have a stainless 9 gallon brewpot that I'd like to add a ball valve and spigot to. I also have a Blichmann 20 that I use, and have completely fallen in love with the pickup tube. I was wondering if I could basically recreate the blichmann design in my 9 gallon pot. Does anyone...

Hi all, I've been mulling over a fermentation chamber (basically the one on Wort-O-Matic) for a while now and the ice situation always hangs me up. I don't have the space fore a chest freezer to freeze milk jugs or anything like that and my actual fridge freezer is generally pretty packed...
