For sale is my electric brewery. All items are listed price OBO. Pick up only. Everything has been used for ~10 batches over the last 18 months. Sadly, just not enough time to brew anymore. Hoping to find a new home for my trusted equipment. Happy to get additional pics if desired. LMK if you...

Hey all, So I have an issue from last winter that I'm trying to address proactively this year. I have a brew room that is not super well insulated and has no HVAC vents. This isn't a problem for anything that needs a ~65F and below temp to ferment, as even in the summer my chiller works great...

Hi, I'm Doug, and I'm a dope. How so you ask? Well in a given brew day, I usually burn myself on steam and/or boiling wort at least once... usually multiple times. It usually comes form swapping hoses, or forgetting to close a vale before the aforementioned swapping of hoses. So I set out to...

Bought a new house about a year ago and now that we're settled the wife has approved a 10'x10' space in the basement that can be finished for a brewery. I am looking for some advice from the community, but first the details: Here is what I have from my past brewing: - 15 gal BIAB set up from...

Trying to get a low(ish) cost beer cart set up and was looking for a used Chugger or March pump that someone was looking to part with. Can be SS or plastic head. Thanks!

Hello all, I am placing for sale my ebrewsupply.com 30a electric brewing system and kettles. The system is a complete 30a, 2 PID control panel, that connects to 2 separate 5500w heating elements and 2 pumps (I have the locking plugs for the pumps, but do not have pumps themselves). The set up...

Ok, so I will try to keep this quick- I have more or less stopped brewing because the location (basement) I have been assigned by SWMBO is full blown nasty and a pain to keep sanitary. I have designs on the guest bathroom right next to the basement door and am thinking I can turn my 3-vessel all...

So I am currently lagering a Pils in the corny primary and did not bend the dip tube before hand. Can I transfer to my secondary/serving keg with co2 (maybe just crank the psi up a bit to get through the first bit of trub/yeast?), or will I need to auto siphon this time and bend the dip tube for...

Noob belgian brewer here. I am planning my first belgian brew, either a tripel or a quad, and had a question about how to age it. Can I just bottle as normal with my hand-capper, or should I use the bigger bottles and belgian corks? Thanks for the advice!

So I have on order two of these style pumps: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121060137711&afsrc=1 I also have a sweet control panel from ebrewsupply that has 2 120v locking pump outlets, which I can only imaging are designed for use with march/chugger pumps. I am going...

(I hope this is the right thread) I used fermcap for my current Pils that I made on Monday. This is also the first time that I am using a corny to ferment. I used the fermcap to try and control the blow off b/c I put ~4.75 gallons in a 5 gallon corny. My results seems to have been...

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I bought a freezer off CL last week to finally be able to make lagers. Picked it up, looked fine, unplugged it and put it in the car for the hour ride home. Got it in the house, opened the top and there were bugs in it. I don't know anything about bugs...

So, quick question: my graduated cylinder for my hydrometer is loooooong. way longer than I feel like I need. Is there a reason for this length, or could I saw a few inches off this, thus requiring less beer to steal to take a reading?

So I built myself a no-weld CFC by re-purposing my DIY IC and using an old garden hose. I also bought one of those mega-cheap sub-$20 Chinese ebay pumps to feed the wort through the CFC. Well yesterday was brew day and my pump has not come yet. Really worried about my lack of chiller, I...

Why are there no aluminum conicals? :confused: I feel like you would be able to make an aluminum one cheaper than SS, and so long as you use the right sanitizer you wouldn't damage it. So why not? If people boil in then, heat can't be an issue. Can they leech any sort of off flavors just by...

So I have been kicking around the idea of a better way to primary recently. I am through with glass and like buckets, but don't love their (or plastic in general's) potentially short lifespan. My criteria for a new breed of primary were (1) minimalize oxygen worries (2) ease to clean (3)...

Made two batches on monday night: an extract wheat and an AG IPA. my problem was in the IPA, when my boil was complete, my FG was 1.079 and I transfered to my bucket after a quick chill. Still in the extract mindset on this one, I pitched the US-05 as soon as the transfer was done. The wort...

I haven't seen much about them and a search turned up little. http://www.dwbrewproducts.com/shop/product_info.php/cavern-gallon-fermentor-p-59 Is there any reason why there are so few brewers using them? Is the cost too prohibitive? To me it seems to solve a bunch of issues (Air tight...

So I have recently upgraded to 100% electric brewing in my basement and with this upgrade came a brand new 15 gal BK. I do 5 gallon batches and I am thrilled that I do not risk boil over anymore, but am having to cope with a few minor/moderate obstacles. The first of these is that my boil...

Hey guys, my electric set up is complete now and I am testing my panel and PIDs tonight in anticipation for a brew day tomorrow. As I type this my BK PID has been running autotune (At 2) for about a half hour. The PID reads a pv of 128 and the sv flashes between 135 and "At". it has been doing...
