I was in San Diego last month and being going back every couple weeks or so to hang out with a buddy. The only thing I"ve been drinking is Grunion and wow.. i really like it. I get it every time i go down to SD and always take a growler home with me back to LA. Just curious if anyone...

Ouch! Cut down on the lifting one more step and get a wort chiller with a really long hose on it. No sense in lifting anything you don't have too.

Do they make a plastic bottle box? When you buy a case of bottles it comes in a cardboard case. I'm looking for one that holds 12oz bottles but is plastic. ?? thanks jake

At my last job I alternated... on one day I wrote "Trash".. it stayed. on the second day I wrote "basura" it went.

put "Basura" on a pile of trash so it can be taken out by the cleaning staff at night? You would think that in the process of living in a foreign country that you would learn simple words and phrases pertaining to basic living and work. I put "Trash" on a pile, huge pile of boxes and...

ok.. SG before the boil was 1.050 (estimated 1.052) so I was close. In about 10 minutes I'll have the OG and will compare that. The wort is chilling right now and then I'm going to drop it in the carboy. My post was so disorganized. I didn't realize that I pretty much hit my preboil...

I mashed at around 150-160 (varied around the mash tun) for 60 minutes. I was a little generous with the water after the first sparge and ended up with an extra gallon or so of wort. 12lbs 2 row 1.5 lbs chocolate .75 lbs crystal 60 .5 lb carapils .5 lb flaked oats I started in the...

thanks. Starting in a few minutes... i hope it turns out good.

Nugget 13%AA at 60 minutes - .75 ounce Cascade 4.9AA at 30 minutes - 1 ounce beersmith calculated my IBU's at around 45.8 I considered putting it up to about 50 ish ibu's. I'm brewing it sunday regardless of where it fits in the schema of beer styles.. see what it tastes like and...

I've been reading "Designing Great Beers" and while I'm making progress, skipped ahead to the Stout section in the back. It appears my recipe doesn't include barley at all, which is mentioned in almost all the descriptions. Can I even call this a stout then? 12lbs 2 row 1.5 lbs...

Thats a HUGE drill!!! Does it come with medical insurance?

I have a buddy that works at Home Depot in SD and is comeing up this saturday, I'll ask him what his employee discount is and see what they have to offer on the web today.

Thanks guys. I've used my current cordless drill probably a dozen times since I bought it 4 years ago. It was on sale and came with 2 batteries, a light and a charger. It's served me well for everything that I've asked of it. Any corded drill will last me my lifetime I'm sure. I'll...

What matters the most, the speed, amps or torque (because i'm having a hard time finding torque numbers)? The Dewalt has 7amps on the motor which is the highest I've seen in the 50-100$ range on a few sites. The 99$ Makita has 8.? amps.
