    Love controller issues

    hello, I am having an issue with my love controllers on my brutus stand that I just built. My problem is that my burners will not kick off when they reach the set point. I am not real familiar with temperature controllers, so im hoping that I am just overlooking something silly, and that...

    15 gallon boil kettle too much surface area for small batches?

    No reason to only boil 3 gallons if you have this kettle. Do a full boil, no top up water. You will get better hop utilization too.

    1.110 russian imperial problem?

    Seems a little sweet still. any thoughts on amalyse enzyme? If I added just a little, would it drop it just a little, or would it go crazy and drop it like crazy, and dry it out way too much?

    1.110 russian imperial problem?

    I brewed a russian imperial with an og of 1.110 almost 2 months ago. It fermented down rather quickly to 1.040 and stopped. I added a packet of nottingham as i racked to secondary with hopes of it dropping quite a bit more. The new notty has been a beast, and i thought it might do the trick. I...

    I have 4 soda kegs for sale. 2 ball locks are in excellent condition and are $40 each. The other ball lock and the pin lock are $35 each due to having loose rubber bases. They still stand fine, just loose which a little epoxy will fix if you so inclined. I have soaked and scrubbed these and...

    I used that yeast and brought it up to 90°. It still stopped at 1.035. I just left it sit at around 70° and it continued on by itself.

    cost for grains..hops.. yeast

    my last couple batches cost me $13, and 18$ for 5.5 gal batches. I get my 2 row for $.50 a pound, and wheat for $.55 lb. Also I used harvested and washed yeast, so I had no cost in that. Most of my money in a batch is in the hops.

    Very Active Double IPA Help Needed

    Im fairly new to brewing, but I had this happen to me on my first batch, and decided then that it never would happen to me again. I now use a blow off tube for every batch. Sometimes I dont get any sediment in the hose, which means I didn't need it, but most my batches do. For instance, I just...

    Best of Vermont's Breweries?

    I was at the alchemist cannery in the fall. They only brew their flagship beer, heady topper there. I would still suggest going there. It is a quick stop, and you can buy their exceptional iipa for 12$for a four pack of 16 oz cans.
