    Atlanta Area Group Buy

    Where is delivery? I would be interested in 4 to 6 bags. Is that the delivered price? If not, how much additional for shipping per bag?

    I was looking for propane burners and regulator to build my herms system. After purchasing them on overstock.com I came across this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cast-Iron-Gas-Stove-Propane-Burner-Fryer-Stand-BBQ-Outdoor-Camping-Cooker-NEW-/181760309802?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123 The guy...

    Safety of Using Propane Burner Indoors

    About 8 years ago, a man blew his house up in Gainesville, Ga. He was cooking meth in the basement with a 100lb propane tank. This explosion left a sizable crater and killed his three kids. The blast shook my house bad enough that I went to see if a tree had fallen on the house. I lived 2 miles...

    yet another chill haze question

    I am trying to get rid of my chill haze. My chest cooler is not ready. In the mean time, I tried kieselol and chitosan. My beer is in secondary and appears to be clearing nicely except I dry hopped and have pieces of hop pellets floating around 6 inches below the surface. My cooler will be...

    my first HERMS beer

    WOOOWWWW!!!!! I waited 5 weeks to try it. I use the same style recipe, but the end result was much different. My my temps were much easier to maintain and the end result is a much lighter body beer. Is there a chance that wort with OG of 1.060 and FG of 1.15 may have a higher ABV when mashed...

    My Stovetop HERMS

    The biggest thing is getting the air out of the pump and making sure that you do not suck air from the intake. I am a firefighter and I can tell you that a small air leak on a vacuum intake will cause a truck that flows 1500 gpm at 150 psi to loose it's prime in a draft situation. A 1.5' drop is...

    My Stovetop HERMS

    PVC glue will let go under heat. Use CPVC and CPVC cement. Residential water heaters can go up to 185 F. CPVC is what the majority of new housing nowadays are using. It is hard to find a spec home that has copper plumbing in my area. Building codes do not allow PVC to be used for anything other...

    My Stovetop HERMS

    Here it is. I just tried it out Thursday for the first time. It uses 8 gallon steamer pots, weldless valves, my bottling bucket, the bottom of another bucket that has been drilled-notched-and inverted as a false bottom, 20 feet of 3/8 soft copper, march pump, and 5 feet of cpvc and fittings.

    My HERMS is HERMING

    Finally got to Lowe's to buy the remaining plumbing neccessities. It is a 6 - 7 gallon stovetop design that I put together for about $250.00. My chiller was insufficient and I lost 1/2 gallon of 200+ degree wort. Glad I put that valve in. Hopefully this will help with the chill haze issues that...

    unstuck fermentation

    I made a 5 gallon batch using 6 lbs of 2row, 1 lb of toasted 2row, and 1 lb of white rice. It fermented like crazy the next day and quit bubbling. I racked and dry hopped in a glass carboy 7 days later. Instead of clearing, it has started bubbling again 3 or 4 days after being in the carboy...

    Grinding Corn

    My Discount Tommy mill has been great. I got it for Christmas 2009. It has seen close to 100 pounds of malt and 10 pounds of coffee beans. I did some modification 2 weeks ago. I installed a threaded shaft for an electric drill, made a sheet metal cover so that all the crushed grains go straight...
