    Georgia Atlanta Area Keezer

    I built this a couple years ago. It can fit 4 kegs inside plus a 10 lb CO2 tank (included in sale). It's been good and never had any issues. Looking to get $600 OBO. I'll throw in a Blichmann beer gun with the purchase and sum extra o-rings and gaskets. Gas is hooked up so 3 kegs can receive...

    Austin Homebrew Closed?

    I placed an order on Friday and these guys still haven't shipped. I tried to call them today and their phone says they are closed for the "holiday". Anyone live in Austin and know what is going on with these guys? It is not like then to be delayed this much on my order.

    Business Plan Resources Needed

    A couple friends and I have decided we want to move from "talking about starting a brewery" to actually taking action. In doing so, our first course of action is to make a cash flow model, create a cost estimate for our brewery and develop a business plan. I have tried to do some searching...

    Why not FWH on every APA and IPA

    I've read a lot on this technique and am trying to come up with a scenario that I would not want to eliminate a 60 (or 90) minute hop bitterness addition and instead get my bittering IBUs from FWH additions. Everything I've read, this type of addition give more flavor and aroma (along with the...

    Wlp833 stratification

    Today I brewed a Munich Helles and pitched a good size starter. My beer was already chilled down pretty good and holding at 50, starter was also at the appropriate temp. I noticed after about 4 hours this stratification and wasn't sure what to make of it. Braukaiser's site made mention of it...

    A1 typical white labs explosion

    Today I was making a starter from a new WLP833 vial for a Munich Helles that is going to be around 1.048 starting gravity. The starter I made is 2L, 200 grams of extract and a little yeast nutrient. Problem is I open the vial and yeast explodes everywhere, I'm guessing I lost about a third of...

    Grass taste from 0 hop addition?

    I've recently moved and my current setup makes it a little more complicated to dry hop. To compensate, on my house pale ale I did a flame out addition of 2 oz of cascade. I let the wort cool for 30 minutes to about 65, then whirlpooled and let set for another 30, then syphoned into the...

    Homebrewers stealing BW3 market share

    Anyone catch the Buffalo Wild Wings commercial this weekend with the "stereotypical" mad scientist homebrewer giving his friends crap beer while watching football? Wanted so bad to write a letter inviting their marketing VP to my house for a pint. Nice to know we've become significant as a group.

    Potential contamination during kegging

    Kegged last night and half way through the process I noticed a black spot that I assume is mold in my tubing from my rack cane. I had ran sanitizer through the racking cane and tubing prior to kegging for a few minutes. I know I'll find out soon enough, but with the sanitizing, the beer being at...

    IPA seeking approval

    Although IPA is not my favorite, it seems everyone that comes over that knows you're a homebrewer expects a good IPA on tap. I've been trying to get a good House IPA nailed down for a while and think I may be getting close. Wanted to see if there was any feedback. Definitely going for a hoppy...

    Yeast wash with cold water

    I washed some San Diego Super Yeast this weekend. I was in a hurry and forgot to let my chilled boiled water come back up to room temp. I added about .5 gallons of water that had been in the fridge (probably about 40deg) to about .75 gallons of trub/yeast slurry that was probably around 65deg...

    A419 Dual Output for keezer/ferm chamber

    Has anyone ever used a dual plug adapter to plug in both their freezer and fan to the A419 temp controller? I'm no electrical engineer so I wanted to check before I actually did it to ensure there is no overheating or lack of sufficient voltage to both devices (7.2 chest freezer and 12V fan)...

    Temperature Controller Settings for Keezer

    Have a Johnson Controls temperature controller for the keezer I am currently building. I am going to have the 120mm fan with the PVC pipe circulating air properly. I'm trying to figure out the best setup to maintain cold beer with cycling the power to often. Specifically: 1) Is it better to...

    6 oz of dextrose for 5 gal okay?

    Just bottled a Bavarian Hefe. I wanted to carb up pretty good but I underestimated my volume. I ended up with just at 5 gallons (51 bottles full) but added 6 oz of corn sugar. I carb at room temp around 74, just want to make sure I'm not risking having some bombs. Beer Smith is telling me I...
