Announcing: Small Batch Mastery – Homebrew Academy via Teachable

small batch homebrew class

Joseph Lavoie of Beercraftr-dot-com has been brewing complex beers at home for more than six years. In that time, he’s made plenty of mistakes costing hundreds of dollars (probably in the thousands now), learned from those mistakes, tried new things, and has applied what he’s learned to make awesome homemade beer.

To share his love and passion of homebrewing, and to make it even more approachable for beginners, I asked him to share his experience with mastering small batch brewing.

In this exclusive course you are going to learn to brew beer in small, controllable batches that will allow you to experiment more frequently, enjoy a wider selection, and shortcut 6 years of homebrewing mistakes.

Picobrew Zymatic Electric Brewery – Picobrew Is Out of Business

PicoBrew Zymatic Pictured: The PicoBrew Zymatic via Adventures in Homebrewing

Picobrew was a company that produced electronic brewing appliances including the PicoBrew Zymatic, Pico C and More.  In May of 2020 they announced plans to re-organize and have since gone out of business.   Since most of their appliances are web connected or require proprietary ingredient packs that are no longer available we do not recommend purchasing Picobrew units.

1 Gallon FerMonster Fermenters… $12.74 + free ship eligible & step by step small batch directions

Fermonster 1 Gallon Ported Carboy (Spigot Not Included) FE261TANK

Fermonster 1 Gallon Ported Carboy from MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The Fermonster is a brand new fermenter designed specifically for fermentation. MoreBeer! gave product feedback for over 2 years of development and we think they nailed the design. The large lid allows for easy filling and makes hop or oak additions a breeze. The smooth sides are fantastic for sanitization – no ribs or texture to collect yeast or bacteria. The punted bottom allows sediment to collect to the sides so that you can siphon liquid from the center. Because they are made from virgin PET plastic they nearly unbreakable and a lot safer than similar glass carboys.

These Fermenters are ported but do not come with a spigot. FE347 is the plastic spigot we recommend along with this fermenter.

Made from heavy PET plastic, the same material used in 2 L soda bottles, which is nearly impermeable to oxygen penetration. Due to the thickness of the material and the overall geometry the Fermonster does not require ribs or dimples for stability. That results in a super smooth interior surface that reduces yeast and sediment buildup making it the easiest to clean, most sanitary PET carboy on the market. The huge 4″ opening makes filling a breeze, and cleanup is as easy as wiping down the inside.

These fermentors are completely air-tight and the lids sealed tight with an O-Ring. Additional O-Rings and Lids both with and without holes are available for purchase, see our You Might Also Need items below.

Features:

  • 4″ inner diameter wide mouth carboy – easy to clean!
  • Food grade PET plastic construction is nearly impermeable to oxygen penetration
  • No hard to clean dimples or ribs
  • Punted bottom
  • O-Ring and Lid with one hole is included (Fits #10 Stopper)
  • Additional O-Rings and Lids available
  • Weight: 0.6 lbs
  • Temperature Limit: 140° F
  • Height: 9.45 inches
  • Diameter: 6.7 inches
  • Completely taste and odor free
  • Perfect for Beer, Wine, Cider, Mead, Kombucha or any other fermented beverage!

 

  • MoreBeer has these on sale for just $12.74.
  • Get Free Shipping: This ships for free with a qualify order as part of MoreBeer’s Free Shipping Program.  Under that promo most orders over $59 ship for free.
  • Easy Filler Item….  If you’re looking for a filler item to help you qualify for free shipping, consider grabbing some PBW

Hands on Review: Oliso SmartHub for Small Batch Brewing

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Oliso SmartHub for Small Batch Brewing

If you don’t know what a sous vide machine is, that’s forgivable. I’ve only met one person that’s used one. He raved about it so much that I had to investigate it. “Sous vide” is French for “under vacuum”. In sous vide cooking, you vacuum seal your steak (or whatever kind of food) in a bag, then place it in a pot of water that’s controlled to a specific temperature. The sealed bag keeps the meat from getting wet in the cooking water, and lets all the juices stay inside and not dry out. Depending on the “doneness” you want, you set the temperature of the water, throw your pouch in and then it cooks to the exact level you want.

Now getting us back to homebrewing, Oliso has a sous vide cooker that has features that support homebrewing. They combined the temperature control features of a traditional sous vide machine with the high power capability of an induction cooktop. The induction cooktop functions as the base of the machine, and when you set the SmartHub top on it, electrical contacts are made that change the induction top over to a temperature control machine. The tub has a built-in sensor that it uses to monitor the temperature of the liquid and adjust the power level accordingly.

Speidel Plastic Fermenter – 20L (5.3 gal) FE710

Speidels are awesome!  I have used this fermenter for years for small batch fermenting.  Check out my Hands On Review

Best Price: As of this posting, I have recorded deals on this several times dating back to 2014.  This is the lowest price I’ve seen by $2.  It’s possible MoreBeer has sold it for less, but this is the lowest price I have recorded here on HBF.
