Perfect weather, great view, 10 gallons of Pale Ale just started boiling. Hit the mash temps dead on. Now if I can just keep myself from screwing something up.

Forgive my ignorance in advance. I have a Love TS-13010 temp controller I'm wiring up to my keezer. I opted to skip directly wiring to compressor and instead run it to an outlet that will sit on the back of the keezer (not sure where yet exactly). I have the wall extension cord (14 gauge), wired...

I'm building a collar for my fridgidaire 7.2 chest freezer (4 kegs for now) and I was wondering if beer line selection was terribly important. Any particular types to stay away from or are things pretty much the same. I don't want to spend more than necessary but want to do the job right the...

Just mashed in for ten gallons of cascade summer ale. Winter took awhile to wrap up but the smell of about 25 lbs of grain mashing is so great. Happy brewing everyone.

I recently upgraded my equipment to be able to make 10 gallon batches, I have been brewing for a little over two years and in keeping variables to a minimum, I have decided to do 10 gallons of Edwort's Haus Pale, given the lighter grain bill and lower stakes if there are mistakes. Any...

Anyone have this cooler? If so do you have a parts list? I'm having trouble getting a fitting that is leakproof. I've tried different combinations to no avail. Thanks.

I bought this exact kettle recently and have brewed one 10 gallon batch with it. It is an excellent pot but a bit too large a circumference for where I store my brewing equipment and it does not stack with my HLT etc, so I bought a slimmer and taller pot to suit my needs. I will post a picture...

I have this kettle. http://www.homebrewstuff.com/15-gallon-kettle-w-valve-thermometer.html I was wondering if anyone else has used a side pickup or and elbow to drain wort more efficiently. If so, what did you use? Brewhardware is closed for a few days so I was looking for other options. Thanks!

I have missed numbers just like everyone and i usually just roll with it, but never ever like today. It was also, my first boil on my new 15 gallon kettle. Too many frustrating things to list, but the end result was 8 gallons of wort from a pre-boil volume of about 13.5. It was a 90 minute boil...

Anyone by chance have a fairly well proven clone of this? I had this for the first time recently and was absolutely blown away. At 12.99 a six pack here in Chicago I want to clone this or at least come close. Thanks!

I was planning to brew one of the two hearted clones here on HBT. However, with the Centennial hop shortage, that is looking less likely since by LHBS here in Chicago told me Saturday that they will have no more centennial this year, I am looking for other options. Since Two Hearted is all...

The last few batches I have made have come out a bit thin with regard to mouthfeel etc. the one exception was Edwort's Robust Porter. I do not plan to add flaked barley to everything and while the beers have Been a bit thin, they have had good flavor. I keg in a keezer and am patient (rarely...

Just got keezer delivered, and it coincided with my brewing another batch of Dude's Lakewalk Pale Ale. I pitched it onto a yeast cake from a caramel amber that I used the same yeast strain on. I have the keezer temp controller set at 59 and the fermometer reads the same temp. Zero activity...

Just stumbled onto this pot and was wondering if anyone had it. I would be glad to add my own weldless fittings, sight glass etc. reviews would be appreciated. Thanks...

I was wondering what people's thoughts were on the various types of temp controllers out there. I will be using it on a fridgidaire 7.2 keezer, and am not finding much difference between the Ranco, Love, and Johnson brands. I would like to avoid wiring directly if able, as this seems like...

Hi Everyone, I recently did my first all grain batch which was EdWort's Haus Pale Ale. I thought it had gone fairly well, but after pitching the yeast and noticing that there was initial activity, I had to leave town. After returning four days later, I noticed absolutely zero airlock...

Well everyone, I just took the plunge into all grain brewing. I am actually a bit annoyed at myself that I did not do it sooner, as even with the type of mistakes that accompany inexperience, everything thing went pretty well and I learned a few things that will help next time. Gravity was a bit...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone else had any issues with soot while using an SP10. I have burned off the paint, played with the air mixture, and still cannot seem to get a blue flame regardless of valve setting. I am actually wondering if this is a defective burner, because I...
