I have a 25ft 30A/240V Inline GFCI from a previous ebrewing system. It worked great for the brewer like myself that moves often. My question is if these are still used on the current systems? Seems like most people use Spa panels or just GFCI breakers. I was trying to find them online to see...

Two other people and I have a 60 gallon wine barrel that has been filled with flanders red for almost 1.5 years now. We sampled it the other day and decided it is ready to bottle whenever we can find time. Our only concern is that when we did the last tasting we noticed that the top few staves...

So I decided it was time to make a label last week when the girlfriend was in town. She graduated in advertising and is now at a portfolio school for it so I let her do her thing, with a few inputs from me (mainly, yes or no questions haha ;)) Here is the first try for my stout, I already notice...

So I have jumped feet first into sour and funky brews lately with the newest being a Flanders Pale. I started to collect equipment so i could keep my wild brews from my clean ones. I also am planning on brewing a saison with brett soon and was planning on using the same carboy i did for the...

Working on a recipe for a Flanders red right now my buddy and i are going to brew up in a few weeks. Based off of a few recipes i have seen and wild brews. OG 1.052 IBU: 12ish Vienna 50% Munich 15% Caramunich 7% Maize/white wheat 10% Special...

So i brewed up a porter a while back and forgot about it in my closet. Today i decided to put it into a keg to chill and then carb. When i took my gravity reading it was a bit high but that's how it was after primary as well. The real surprise came when i tried a sample. green apples, tart green...

So i have a few sour beers saved up which i of course want to drink but i would like to also save these dregs for future sour beers. Any suggestions on best way to do this? i was thinking of getting a gallon jug with a starter in it and an air lock and just adding dregs as i drink them. slowly...

What a week its been! Today my friend called me pretty early and i was tempted not to pick up but I'm glad i did now. He knows i am always looking for anything involving beer. He tells me he is cleaning out his aunts place and found an old fridge that still works with a tap in the side and a 10#...

Ive been lurkin ebay lately for a pump for my 2 vessel single pump eHerms, pretty much decided on a March 809 pump since i didn't want to pay for the LG. The one i found today (March-809-PL-HS-C) is like 5-10 cheaper then the standard ones on ebay and free shipping. Only catch is the intake is...

Im in the planning stages of a 2 vessel 1 pump eHERMS. Currently i am trying to figure out all my fittings and sizes. I plan on using a March 809 pump and after reading many threads have decided to go with brass quick disconnects from McMaster. The ones many people linked to were #6739k64 and...

So i brewed a Saison last night, brew day went pretty good until the end, i always hit 65% pretty dead on, no matter what i do. Except last night i ended up missing my OG by 9 points, should of been 1.061 and ended being 1.052. I was very confused, kept trying to figure out what i missed. But i...

Im trying to get a keg for a boil kettle on craigslist. I just messaged a guy about one and asked if it is ss or aluminum. He says its a coors keg that he bought new from a pub not long ago and thinks it is aluminum. I was under the impression that almost all new kegs were ss? anyone know? or at...

i will be brewing a saison on sunday, 1.062 OG Will be brewing it with white labs 568. any suggestions of size of starter for this? i was going to just go with standard 1L but then i was listening to jamil show on this and he was talking about making sure not to over pitch this one and really...

So i am planning on making a saison pretty soon. I plan on using WLP565. After much searching i cant find a consistant fermentation schedule. I know that is partially because it can be made many different ways. I see people say to start out around 68 and then ramp it up, but then i read...

Today at my LHBS i for the first time bought bottles since i was low on them and needed to bottle my blonde ale. So i just started bottling them and the caps felt weird on the new bottles (standard 12oz). I then kept bending the caps, and they wouldn't go fully on. I cap with the standard red...

So I'm at my parents house and went to buy the ingredients for my next brew, a Stone Ruination clone, I love the LHBS here, great people, but they didn't have the Pacman yeast i plan on using. I'm heading back home Sunday and brewing when i get home, but wont be able to buy the yeast i want...

So I've been bottling all my beers to date in 12oz bottles, leaving about 1 inch or so of air space at top. But today i bottled in 16oz ez-cap bottles and 1liter ez-cap bottles, when filling them i started thinking about if the change of capacity should change the amount of air room at the...
