• Posted in thread: Age In Carboy or Bottle? on 03-11-2008 at 01:31 AM
  You could do both & note the differences... then tell us ;)I'm planning a similar experiment. I
  have a kolsch that's at the tail end of fermentation. When it finishes I'm going to rack half
  to a carbo...

• Posted in thread: 1st All-grain: Fly or Batch? on 03-06-2008 at 05:58 AM
  Well, the extra equipment that I would need to fly sparge would be a sparge arm, and an HLT. I

  suggest without ...

  strains?---My ...

  Just a reminder: you can't sanitize a bottle that isn't clean. (ie. residue in the bottle

  spray bottle (on t...

• Posted in thread: Effective BTU ratings for your burners on 03-01-2008 at 06:09 PM

  my propane burner I turn the heat way down after reaching a boil, and maintain a good rolling
