You got a setup like that and haven’t brewed in three years? I haven’t brewed since September. I just don’t drink enough to maintain a consistent brew schedule. I think I’ve got half the beer still in the keg since September.

Nice setup, and that's awesome you get to brew with your son. I keep trying to get my kids to help, but they're a little young, though my 9 year old is more intrigued than when he used to be.
Do you have a hot water heater hooked up to an RO system?
I'm still using propane. I have a side burner next to my Kamado Joe but it's not quite strong enough to boil wort vigorously. Last week, i tested out using the hot rod heat stick with the burner on high and it took about 45 minutes to go from 140 degrees to 211. The boil was a low roll. If i can figure out how to squeeze a couple more BTU's into the kettle, then i may be able to use my burner. All i'd need is pump to transfer. This would make my brew day a little more efficient and i wouldn't have to guard the brewpot from kids running to and from the house.

Man, nice outdoor kitchen!
It's yours if you've got anything to trade. he f che f ATg mail. com.
Full disclosure, it's just the motor and mounting bracket like the picutre below.
quote:No, thought that's not a bad idea. The RO is connected on a leg that leads away from the water heater, coming straight off the street at 85 PSI.

quote:I have an extra that I would be willing to part with. Four brews after purhcase, it started making a loud noise everytime I'd run it. So I called up Blichman and had the customer service rep on the phone while it was whining and they replaced the motor free of charge. I've thought about selling it, just haven't gotten around to it.

Brewed again. This time an American Wheat fermented with English ale yeast. This is 20 hours after pitching. Not sure why the wort looks so dark in the photo, but its not IRL.

I’m getting back into mead making (I basically quit for grad school). With LA Homebrew gone, where do BR folks go for brewing supplies these days?

Brew shop between Dunham and walker

I’ve been ordering online.
Austin Homebrew (which is now owned by Adventurers in Homebrewing, which may be owned by Northern brewer)
Morebeer
And I order my hops from either Yakima Valley, Yakima Chief, or Hops Direct.
Benefit is I’m able to get grains/yeast that are not normally available at a local shop. Downside is some sites you need $100 before free shipping, so I typically plan out the next 3 brews before I make an order or check with my neighbor to see if he’s brewing soon.
