    Deep Six Brewery - back in action!

    Truly beautiful! Looks like they do great work.

    Is your beer better than anything you can get at the store?

    Awesome analogy. The oyster beer didn't have oysters in it, no idea about the name. They used a ton of anise or whatever licorice comes from and it actually gave me a stomach ache!

    Is your beer better than anything you can get at the store?

    I'm a self proclaimed beer enthusiast. I think the only commercial beers I've had that I really didn't like were keystone ice, and the oyster beer at the porterhouse brew pub in Dublin. That said homebrewing allows me to enjoy many beers off the tap in the comfort of my home that I wouldn't...

    Wildwest's brew lean-to (my almost dream build)

    This build keeps getting better! This is completely OT, but what kind of wood are your floors? They look really nice in your blingmann shot.

    Can I pull this off?

    I just got married in July and had 30 gallons for 150 people, no cash bar. I had about 5 gallons left over I had a Scottish 80 schilling that the crowds loved. I based it on the northern brewer recipe. It was AG but It's so simple that I'm sure the Extract/steeped grain would be great.

    AC Dimmer w/ DC fan???

    My bad carrotmalt... Funny enough the only dimmer I've messed with is in my house, which was built in the 40's... Thanks for the info GNBrews, I should have known that!

    AC Dimmer w/ DC fan???

    AC, DC, it doesn't matter with resistance. EDIT: BAD INFO BELOW..... The dimmer is targeted to handle 120V so you may find that the adjustment is 10X coarser than you want it to be.

    Vacuum sealing hops with twist

    http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Alvin-Vacuum-Sealer/ Better yet just use a vacuum pump ;) This is how I seal my hops btw.

    What are YOU reading?

    I'm getting to the end of Stephenson's newest, anathem. It's been really good... I think I've become a fanclub member at this point

    Help with 12v DC Power

    Judging from the size of the transformer in your picture, you're going to need a bigger transformer. A 10amps@12vdc transformer is BIG. You should probably take a look at how much switch current will be pulled from your transformer. Your filter caps will take most of the switch current but...

    Keggle Soldering/Brazing with Butane Microtorch

    Not too sure on the homebrew community up here.... I'm still finishing up my grad degree (while working as a circuit designer blah blah) and am trying to horde my remaining free time. If you go talk to the off-road club or the car club, ANY of those dudes will hook you up with whatever fab...

    Keggle Soldering/Brazing with Butane Microtorch

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion Looks like butane and propane are close in combustion heat... It may take a little while to get things hot enough... Tech student? I'm sure the university could hook you up with a torch...

    Show us your DIY wort chillers

    I think DavidR probably has the coolest looking cooler I've seen on this forum... That thing is ridiculous. How turbulent can you keep the coolant? Props to you sir. This is the first non-IC I've seen here that can be inspected visually.

    Should I delay pitching and other chilling questions!

    There's been numerous "no-chill" discussions. Reading some of those will probably ease some of your concerns. 1. I'm sure there's other reasons but to me I chill below 90F in order to stop the hop utilization. 2,3. For the past 6 years of brewing I've always chilled to 90F and then used a...

    I have been having problems with my motorized Barley Crusher

    I have this issue with certain types of grain. For example: Golden promise seeds are f-ing huge and cause my mill to stall a lot. I've also noticed that the seeds in my most recent bag (breiss 2row) were a little larger than my last. I use a high tech stick that I shove down to the rollers to...

    Walk-in Fridge AC Freeze Up - HELP

    How big is the area you're trying to cool? Do you have a good vapor barrier? This sounds like your getting a lot of moist air leaking in. If your area is not large, the ac unit should condense all the moisture in the airspace fairly easily. If you have a constant flow of moist air coming in...

    The World Cup Approacheth

    Not to interrupt your discussion guys... Good god I don't know if I can handle watching any more of our(us) games... I feel depleted... Emotional mish mash... That was probably one of the harder games I've sat through, and I've played probably 400+ games of soccer in my lifetime.... Here's...

    Spice Circuit simulation Program

    All I do all day every day is work in Hspice.... If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me... As stated above, it's a circuit simulation tool. There really isn't anything brewer's do involving circuits that can't be solved on the back of a napkin. If you want to build your own circuit...
