Re: Air Lock popped off
That happened to me around my 2nd brew and I did have to repaint my kitchen ceiling...but the beer was fine! Now I usually just ferment cooler so it doesn't get active so quickly, but lots of people like blowoff tubes just in case, instead of an air lock. Good luck with your beer.

Re: BIG50 system Batch #2
I've decided that a batch of SMASH ... will be a good option I'm in for 5 gallons if available due to the name alone...SMASH beer. This style should be a new BJCP category. See you Saturday -Andrew p.s. I think I will use a hop rocket to get some extra American hops infused, and maybe bring it to t...

Re: Brew stand
Thanks for the tips. I have a single tier stand coming in a month. I have all the other equipment already...stir plate, 3 keggles, dedicated chest freezer for fermentation, etc. The stand is for fun, who knows maybe it will help with beer quality too. I guess my next question will be one pump or two...

Re: Thank you Hodges
Thanks for the party! And to whoever brought the Bigfoot Barelywine that my wife Becca and I ended up with at the gift exchange...that is a great gift. The swingtop bottle was mine, but consider it a $2 gift. I know, very generous. The party was great and you have a world class kegerator. See you ne...

Re: Brew stand
Thank you both. I'm looking at a single tier stand I have found and probably will try to build it into a RIMS...in the meantime it's saison and mead brewing time for me while I get this stand up and running...hopefully they turn out nice after 5-6 months or so for spring. See you guys at the next br...

Re: Brew stand
Thanks, Guerra. So you just connect a hose to the bottom mash tun valve, run wort through the pump, then back up through the mash tun top valve which has a coiled hose inside the keggle to the grain bed, if I'm reading this right? I'm looking at single tier right now, but I'm worried about the hose ...

Brew stand
I'm looking at a 2-3 tiered stand on brew stands.com vs. Blichmann top tier vs. any other out there. I already have three keggles. I want to recirculate and Brewstands.com compact keggle system seems best at $690 including 3 burners and the stand. Add a pump and maybe plate chiller and it's less tha...

Re: BIG50 system Batch #2
Whatever style is decided - I'd commit to 5-10 gallons. -Andrew Speer
