These look cool but I can't say I got a spare grand.. I need to get back into brewing, I had 2 bad brews from waht I assume is hose water dripping in from the ruber hose on my coper cooler and I've been out of any desire to brew after I had to dump 2 cases.

more falafel please posted:Does the beer taste bandaid-y, kinda like hose water? I mean.. it's 100% the issue.. it tastes like hose water.. but it's bencause my chiller leaked hose water into the finished brea. Camden tabs (which I have) are kinda useless when The berew is done. I use spring water without chlorine. Issue was .. hose water contaminated the brew instead of reamaining in the chiller.. I"ve had 1 batch from a lont time ago that I just though was funky due to ingredients. But then I had 2 subsequet batches I hosed up becuase of it. I need to just get a better hose clamp or a few more and that should resolve problem.

thotsky posted:An icebox/cooler and a big pot, or even brew-in-bag, work perfectly well for brewing at the homebrew scale. The main thing that the grainfather has going for it is that it is not as expensive as some of the alternatives. I've had good success with my robobrew and doing BIAB with it.. only time I"ve had a problem was a bells expedition stout kit (back when bells was still bells and sold their own beer as a kit.. fuckin thing was like 16lb of grain AND 7lb of extract./ it was a bit much for a 10 gallon container.

it was more than a few drops.. if I had to venture a guess. somewhere between a quarter and half gallon of hose water.

Jhet posted:Once the nearest store disappeared on short notice I sort of lost my desire to brew for a bit. So I'm not sure it's the best investment in the world, but there will certainly be some people who appreciate that you're still there. My local shop exists because it is a local shop in a decent area. They have enough stock that a lot of the local breweries also rely on them for emergencies. Their prices are also on par with Internet so why not keep going to my local shop.

do not toss this stuff up for sale if you have the space.. it's $$$$ and time to rebuy and make and will sell for pennies. if you have any thought you'll start again you'll end up being real sad you sold it all

Alarbus posted:I managed to keep brewing through the first kid. I have not had great luck getting time to brew having a second kid. Also first kid is now T1D, so that's taken a lot of time, energy, and brainpower. Oof sorry about type 1 kid it's a challenge, daughter was diagnosed young. She's a bit older and the pumps with integrated cgm really helped. I usually brew in the summer outside on the porch doing brew in a bag with an electric kettle. Saves time.
