    Louisiana Blichmann Boilermaker, Plate Chiller, etc etc etc

    Got out of brewing a few years ago, just now parting with my equipment. All items were only used for about 20 batches. All items will require shipping, but I am very reasonable. Located in Hammond, Louisiana and local pickups are welcome. 10-Gallon G1 Blichmann for sale - SOLD Small plate...

    Odd Consistent Off Flavor

    I have checked my water for chlorine, and found none. My tap water is about 5.8 PH if I recall correctly...which is what I sparge with. I will definitely change that next time. Does that sound alkaline enough to cause problems though? I use a digital thermostat to keep the temps low, but I...

    good suggestion, but no. 30 psi for one day to force carb is all, rarely much more.

    Odd Consistent Off Flavor

    Sorry, it's hard for me to describe. It's not really a funky flavor. It's maybe like the bite of a coca-cola, but not that extreme. All of the other nice flavors become restrained. I will try to taste again when I get home and post more. My fermentation temps are typically mid 60's to very low...

    Odd Consistent Off Flavor

    Hey guys, I have brewed about 12 batches so far. I have had some great brews, but a lot of them have not turned out so well. In all of the lighter and not so hoppy brews I have done (2 blondes, lager, hefe, & amber), I get what I would call an astringency. It makes your mouth cringe and is...

    Airating Wort With Diffuser Stone Etc.

    Hey guys, I bought an aeration kit from AHS. This has a pump, in-line filter, and a stone. My problem is that the line and stone seem to float to the top of the carboy whenever I turn on the pump, giving me very little oxygen. Does anyone use a weight? Then I worry about sanitation. I don't...

    This is interesting...

    I've had this before also with a red ale, so it's due to high esters?

    Help with Brown Ale Recipe

    I'm going for a Southern Brown Ale from what I can tell. Something more roasty and a very slight chocolate hint, while being very drinkable. Please critique, this is my first recipe I have created from nothing. Mini Mash 1.047 OG 1.012 FG 28 SRM 15 IBU 3lbs Light DME 2lbs 2-Row 1lbs Crystal...

    Blichmann vs MoreBeer Systems

    Is the top tier built to order? That's not good if they have not given you any info on delivery though

    Homebrewing as a tax write off?

    This is exactly what I do. I don't think there is anything conflicting with laws because you are not selling your brew. The merchandise I am not sure about though, but I doubt that is any problem. You should form an LLC though if you have income IMO, this is avery cheap and simple and will look...

    Homebrewing as a tax write off?

    I think you misinterpreted what I said, my e-commerce has nothing to do with my intent to start a brew pub. If the intent goes for years and years, then yes, that is a problem. My CPA's advice was the IRS wants to see some income within 3-4 years (max) or they may start asking questions. You...

    Homebrewing as a tax write off?

    Ask your CPA I am able to write off any and all brewing supplies because I have an "intent" to start a business. I don't have an LLC formed either. I also do this with an e-commerce website I am planning to build (but do have an LLC formed), writing off all computer supply.
