  I like it, it applies KISS (keep it simple stupid)

  I too like the idea of marbles. I think you'll only need to PBW or Oxyclean every five batches
  or so, maybe even less. I'd put the marbles in a colander and rinse the hell out of them. You
  just want t...

  Did you boil pumpkin, if so it could be pumpkin particulates. And I don't think, they will
  settle. Sorry. My pumpkin recipe begins with 6 pounds of pumpkin, I use a baking pumpkin. I
  follow Alton Brow...

  The plywood box sounds like a good idea. Although the shipping charges could be monumental. I
  would line it with a garbage bag in case of any breakage. Just mark it live yeast samples. And
  if possible...

  I'd try 9 lbs two row and 3/4 lbs chocolate malt mash 45 min at 156. Use English hops to about

  is homebr...

• Posted in thread: Corn Grits VERSUS Flaked Corn on 06-19-2012 at 11:32 PM

  body without addi...

  Other than a group buy which may or may not be an option. You or someone you know who is making

  want. For "...

  Where I'm working we have a silicon based adhesive that has some sort of polymer technology, I
  think by 3M. I'll find out tomorrow what it is exactly and report back tomorrow. I've used it
  to glue two...

  I've seen where someone used a NEW propane regulator to drop the CO2 pressure, installed after
  the regular regulator, to just above ambient, with CO2 on the beer it should stay fresh for a
  long time. ...

  You can use a stone instead of a stir plate, but you need to invest in a sterile air filter ~$5
  on midwest and a aquarium air pump from your favorite mega mart.
