  So my Sanyo mini-fridge apparently does not have a setting to leave the temps in the mid-30s.
  You can only go to about 40F, or the mid 20s. I did not know this, and in trying to find the

• Posted in thread: Good Homebrew shop in Maryland? on 05-06-2013 at 06:56 PM
  I also want to pull for Maryland Homebrew, as I used to live walking-distance from there and

• Posted in thread: Humbling brew day.. on 04-18-2013 at 03:56 PM
  OP, I feel your pain. I did an annotated brew-day the other day, and the bazooka tube fell off!
  (The screen came out of the collar that screws onto the valve). So something always can, and
  sometimes w...

  That's great, thank you! I sense another lager coming on with this new and improved decoction

• Posted in thread: Too much Corn sugar on 04-17-2013 at 02:30 PM
