    Withdrawn Brewhardware Pull Through Tool

    I'm getting set to convert my old kettle to electric and need to install some 1.5" tri clamps fittings. The only thing holding me back is @Bobby_M doesn't have the pull through tool for 1.5" TC in stock. I'd rather not buy the rest of the hardware I need until I know I can get my hands on the...

    Intertap Faucet Thread Size

    Does anyone know what the thread size of the Intertap Faucet tips is? It looks like it might be m12 threads, but I'm not sure if it's actually something different.

    Braggot Recipe

    Hey all, just wanted to try and get a bit of a sanity check on a braggot recipe I'm working on. Looking to do something BIG that I can age (years/decades if it will allow it). I pulled the recipe from this forum somewhere... and made a few tweaks to simplify a bit. My biggest concern at the...

    Stupid Hops

    I would like to publicly state that I will never, ever... EVER, be putting hops into the boil without a strainer bag again. It worked great the first time I tried it (using a scouring pad as a filter on the pickup tube), but it has screwed me every time since. So never again. That's all I...

    Looking at a Pump at McMaster-Carr

    I'm in the market for a March pump for my new brew rig and I just noticed the pumps at mcmaster-carr (4161K11). Anyone have experience with these or see any reason not to use it? It looks pretty comparable to the march pump. Costs a couple bucks more than the March 809 at Northern Brewer...

    Wood Brew Stand Build

    Been working on this on spare weekends and thought I would share. I took my inspiration from this site and modified it to what I needed (Sketchup is my friend). Here is a shot of the finished frame mocked up with burners and such. Spent this past weekend teaching myself to solder...

    Need some help with a fitting

    I have turkey fryers with this fitting on the hose which attaches to a safety shutoff with a timer. Anyone have a clue to what kind of threads these are? I would like to keep the valves on the burners and use them in my own circuit to shut the burners on and off. Just need to connect them...

    SWMBO Looking for Maltmill

    I am a wife of a home brewer and looking for a malt mill for my husband for Christmas. If anyone is selling a used malt mill (barley crusher or monster mill) please let me know how much you are asking for it! Thanks! Carrie

    Brewery Logo

    So I posted a while back that I was looking for ideas for a brewery logo to go along with the name "Damn Yankee Brewing Co." since I'm living in Richmond and married to a Richmond native, but I was born and raised in upstate New York. This is what I've come up with so far. My drawing ability...

    Fermonitor

    Does anyone have any experience with the Fermonitor? I had the thought to build something like this myself as a neat project and didn't even realize this existed. What I'm trying to find out is what this device uses as a sensor for density measurement. I'm guessing it is either thermal mass...

    A question about bar tops

    I'm planning to build a bar/outdoor kitchen for our permanent campsite. What would everyone suggest for a bar top material that will hold up outdoors (it will be covered but it will probably still see some rain and other elements). I'm looking for something I can do myself for a few hundred...

    Trying to Think of Logo Ideas

    So, my wife and I decided a great brewery name to use for when I bottle is "Damn Yankee Brewing Co." (since I'm a New York transplant now living in Virginia). I'd like to be able to make labels for some of the beer I bottle but I'm stumped on creating a brewery logo to use. Anyone have any...

    Brewing Blind Tonight

    So I just finished sparging and went to take a pre boil gravity reading. Instead of adding the wort to the test jar then dropping in the hydrometer I put the hydrometer in the jar first. Except it slipped and dropped into the empty jar and cracked...:mad: Looks like I'm winging it tonight...

    Beer Refrigerator

    Just thought I'd throw a question out to the community. My wife and I started looking for a small refrigerator (dorm size) for holding bottled beer. None of the beverage coolers I've looked look like they will fit 12oz bottles very well, and a dorm fridge just has way too much wasted space for...

    SWMBO Learning to Drink Beer?!

    Last weekend we went out to Capital Ale House with some people, I convinced SWMBO (Bud Lite only drinker, can't stand the taste of actual beer) to try something different (I told her to go for a wheat beer). She ordered a purple haze and loved it. Today we went on an afternoon trip to...

    Started My First AG Batch

    Here it is: My first AG batch and my first time using that MLT. Wish me luck, hopefully I get decent conversion and end up with wort when I'm done... Edit: I just started the mash and hit my target temp :ban: Holy crap that chocolate smells great!

    Custom Bar Build

    Been trolling around the forum long enough, figure I ought to post something already. Made my first batch of beer (a kit which didn't actually require any real brewing :( oh well...) and since I didn't feel like dealing with bottles I went straight for building a kegerator out of an old dorm...
