Bump

That is correct. You have a punch a few switches and move a hose or two. Nothing that can't be done with a beer in one hand.

I fermented in 6G carboys, but you could just as easily pump to a larger fermenter and get 20+G of wort!

Posted this in the For Sale section, but wanted to call attention to Texas area folks: I'm parting with my custom 1/2BBL Automated Digital Brewery. It is an amazing system which is essentially sealed, allowing you to put 16G of cooled wort in the fermenter(s), sealed all the way from the HLT...

I'm parting with my custom 1/2BBL Automated Digital Brewery. It is an amazing system which is essentially sealed, allowing you to put 16G of cooled wort in the fermenter(s), sealed all the way from the HLT. TONS of other stuff in here, please see the attachment for the full listing. Location...

I broke the glass on my sight glass during a tragic garage door opener installation. Don't ask. Just tell me how to get replacement glass post haste. I have a 26G MoreBeer HLT. This one: http://morebeer.com/view_product/9171/102313/Hot_Liquor_Tank_-_26_Gallon_Heavy_Duty_Brew_Kettle...

any issue with the cap just being foil? Think there is risk of contamination?

I made a big starter (actually two for a split batch) for a brew day about a month ago. Life interfered along with a rainshower and brew day was cancelled. So, the starters have been sitting in my beer fridge with foil on top of the Eylermyer flask for about a month now. Think I am safe in...

So I grew up a yeast starter last week, but life got in the way and I wasn't able to brew. The starter has been sitting in my fridge with foil on top for the past week or so. If I can brew this weekend, I'm assuming I'm good to pitch?

it is 3/16" accuflex bev line. seems like the tap 'coughs' a bit...even after pouring an initial pint. I have 4 other taps, and none have this prob.

Kegged a Cider and am holding it a 25 or so psi. I have it running through 40' of AccuBev line and am getting some serious foam. top of the keg to the top of the tap handle is about 2' tops. Holding my keezer at about 38. What gives?

Also, if you are brewing on a stovetop, you might look into a 'Partial Mash'. This is using extract + speciality grains. You'll need much less equipment/space this way. Austin Homebrew makes some great kits (just about any beer style) for partial mash brewing. They will ship you everything...

Sounds like you may have forgotten to sparge. Check out the boards, there are two methods - batch sparge and fly sparge. Basically, you'll drain the grain bed and then add additional hot water to "rinse" the grains. You will get a lot more wort this way. Did you measure the gravity of the...
