Agree that an icepack would probably freeze 1mL vials. Definitely go with white boxes, and maybe those liquid coolers that don't freeze? Like those gel packs.

I would like to sign up, if there's still room even, but I'm not 100% sure how to go about that. If there is still room, my friend and I would be highly interested to take on as much as we can. Let me know, thanks!

The idea in my head right now is to build an enclosure out of bricks, have the coolship on top and have storage for barrels in the bottom. Above would be some type of canopy over the coolship that would build up some microflora. Maybe even put a hop garden on the roof and start having hop vines...

Found my coolship. Stainless steel, 42" x 24" x 10", should hold about ~43 gallons. Picking her up this week for $250.

right but i meant for purposes of dirt and overall cleanliness of the room. theres some "nasties" that aren't exactly preferable to collect.

reading about doing this, curious on updates as well as a few other questions that come to mind. i've read about how cantillion and other places fear cleaning the area of cobwebs and other filth to ensure they aren't tampering with the yeast. would anyone do anything specific to the area they...

The Bruery. I haven't had a single beer from them that hasn't completely intrigued me; not to mention what I haven't gotten my hands on. Dogfish Head and Russian River are close seconds, as well as Cantillon and Mikkeller. Port Brewing has been escalating in my books as well. I'm all for...

Because it's still a beer I'd like get feedback from. It's not like its horrible tasting or disgusting. Thanks for the heads up, I actually already do make my own sours so I do already have two. I love sours. I have tons of ideas as to what I can potentially do with this. For now it'll...

The beer is about as interesting as this picture: On the smell theres definitely a lot of funk. However, that's pretty much all there is. The beer by itself was a basic lager, nothing too special and just drinkable. Tasting it, there really isn't anything. Just very little body, very little...

I'll be taste testing shortly, I just threw a new airlock on it (like that'll do anything at this point) and smelled it. The smell wasn't what I expected, it still smells similar to what it did about a year ago. Also the soapy taste could potentially be there, I saw cheezydemon3 just said that...

Ok, so I've taken a hiatus from brewing over the past few months and I've been kegging and cleaning all that I've left behind from pretty much the winter. A little background, I brewed a few beers for a Christmas party last year and one of the lagers had a soapy kind of off flavor to it. SO...

Yuup, no problem!

I'll be there to pick mine up, so anyone from Barley Legal that needs me to I can grab whatever. Just let me know

Although I have no idea behind the legalities, our homebrew club just had a thanksgiving food drive. Basically whoever brought food and donated got free samples of homebrew. I think we had 7-9 kegs and a 7 tap jockey box.

I think I gave the wrong impression. I thought nothing much of the batch being short, and said to myself oh well, theres always next time. I'm not that concerned about it at all, I just found it funny that my dreams reflected that. I'm a heavy dreamer, I achieve lucidity a lot. I just thought...
