    Robobrew Brewzilla 65L

    That the Robobrew, grainfather, and mash and boil are just converted coffee urns with cheap Chinese circuits.

    Grainfather Sparge Technique

    I have a Robobrew and find no difference whatsoever in sprinkling sparge, dumping a couple gallons at a time, using hot, or cold water, or sparging with 2 or 4 gallons!

    EBIAB 120v Controller - Cheap Option

    1800 watt dimmer switch, lol! Get the inkbird, it's a great product, and can double as the controller for a fermentation chamber.

    Robobrew Brewzilla 65L

    I went with the V3 robobrew to go smaller so I can brew more often, in the house. If I knew then what I know now I would never have bought the overpriced coffee urn, let alone its bigger brother! Mine works great but I could have built something far superior for less money.

    Old Pale Malt

    I've just brewed with 3 year old 2-row in an unsealed bag that was rolled up, in my furnace room. Smells just like day 1, crushed great hit my numbers .

    Control power on 2250 watt 120v element

    Sure it will, if my 1500 watt Robobrew can boil 8 gallon of wort why can't a 2200watt?

    Turbo 500 boiler for ebiab?

    I've been looking to convert my biab setup from propane to 120v electric. 10 gallon batches just don't make sense anymore, so I want to do a simple 5 gallon setup that I can use for distillation when I'm not doing beer. I love the convenience of the Robobrew but at over $500 here in Ontario it's...

    EzBoil is a game changer for me!

    I've been debating weather the cost of electric brewing out ways the convenience for a long time now. I also have my own Reflux Still with a keg boiler, to go along with my 20 gallon biab setup, ran off propane. I always wanted to build a multi use 240v controller that I could use to, mash...

    Amylas enzyme to help Finnish ¿

    I have a cider that has been in primary for 3.5 weeks now and seems stuck at 1.010. Can I use some amylase enzymes to help finish? I use it all the time to dry out some beer recipes but never tried it in a case like this. I used champagne yeast and fermented at 68!

    Bulk aged hard cider - how to carbonate?

    I think you are either too carbonated or the gas pressure is too high! It takes about 20-30 seconds for me to fill a quart bottle. I raise the tube off the bottom and pull upwards in one slow motion.

    Bulk aged hard cider - how to carbonate?

    Chill the bottles, I stick a piece of clear tubing inside a picnic tap (I cut a 12" piece off an old racking cane). Turn off the gas, vent the keg, and then turn the gas on just enough that the cider or beer starts to fill! I fill about ten bottles and cap immediately! Works like a champ!

    Bulk aged hard cider - how to carbonate?

    I used to bottle carb my cider but never got the carbonation I was looking for! Now I keg it at 12 psi and what I don't drink after about a month I transfer to bottles! Every bottle is perfectly carbed!

    Cold crash, air lock sucking

    Don't pull the tube out of the container! If the container with the sanitizing solution is low enough the suction in the carboy won't pull the solution up the tube high enough to enter the carboy!
