I'd love to brew the all grain version of the sweet milk stout.

I'm in.

I did just what you are proposing. Bought a chest freezer, built an STC controller following instructions found here. I use a ceramic reptile heater. It does a great job.

Thumbs up on Galveston Island Brewing

Spec's on Smith Street in Houston is the best for any kind of alcohol. What kind of bears do you like?

I use the dishwasher to sanitize also. Just soak the bottles in Oxyclean and water for a day, rinse and put in the dishwasher the night before bottling. By myself, I can do two cases in an hour. With a friend, even faster.

I'm going to recommend Rainey Street. Banger's has great food and an awesome beer selection and Craft Pride has great Texas beer and a good food truck. Walking distance of downtown.

This may be a stupid question but do the weldless fittings stand up to a gas burner?

Saint Arnold's Stout

I agree. Get a college degree in something that lets you pay the loans back and go to community college. I'm also a nerd and I love Big Bang Theory. It's a sad day that you can't laugh at yourself.

I live not to far from Tyler. I've met a few homebrewers from there but I don't know if there is a homebrew supply store. There used to be but I think it closed. There is a brewery "True Vine" and I've had a couple of their beers. Not bad. Dallas is close and there are several breweries...

I'm not sure why they blew. My guess is that my bottling sugar didn't get well mixed because I opened a couple of the survivors and they were flat.

I'm in

Well I had my first bottle bombs in two years of brewing. Now I have to clean up. My question is how should I handle the unexploded bottles? Do they pose any danger?

Northern English Brown please.
