Next week I'm going to be headed "down under" with my wife and 2 kids for our biggest adventure yet. This may be a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip, so naturally I want to make the most of it. And of course by make the most of it, I mean try as much local beer as possible! I'll try any beer...

I'm curious what other brewers are doing for water treatment in the greater Atlanta area. I'm north of the city and our water comes out of the Chattahoochee river. On paper, it's great for brewing (I'll add my Ward Lab numbers below). The chlorine levels can get pretty ridiculous sometimes (my...

I have an Anvil Foundry available with everything you need for recirculation and whirlpooling. This would be an ideal setup for someone getting started with all-grain brewing, or someone looking to downsize to a simpler brew day. The Foundry comes with the standard malt pipe and stainless...

I have one of those “Dr. Meter” ph pens you can get on Amazon that claims to be accurate to 0.01. I think I got it about 2 years ago. It seems to be pretty accurate, but the settling time is getting to be ridiculous. It takes it about 10 minutes to get through a 3-solution calibration. And when...

I’m selling my Grainfather Conical Fermenter Pro Edition (GF30), with some upgrades. The GF30 has a built-in heating element and jacketed cooling capability. I’m including the power supply and mini pump needed for cooling. You would need to add the Cooling Connection Kit from Grainfather, which...

I have one of the Riptide upgrade kits attached to my March pump body. My last brew day, while I was recirculating the mash, I heard the dreaded "screeeeeech" and immediately shut off the pump. I assumed I had sucked in some air somehow, but when I tried to turn the pump back on after ensuring...

About 2 years ago, I ordered a set of universal poppets on Amazon for my kegs. They are the generic open spring type. They've mostly worked ok, other than being a bit too stiff. However, in the past few weeks I've had 2 of them utterly fail on me. In both cases, I pulled off the ball lock QD...
