I apologise in advance:off:, but I just can't stop myself... Magnetic "stainless steel" alloys do indeed exist. Granted, kegs or any other household or food grade "stainless" item would never be made of such an alloy, but they do exist. I apologise again, and now return you to your...

Jeffo, Specific Gravity really should be near (or at) the bottom of the list of things to worry about on brew day. Specific gravity is used to figure the ABV of your beer. The important part is the change in specific gravity from brew day to bottle day. If your wort doesn't hit the OG...

Greetings from Grand Forks, and welcome to the obsession Grubba! If you're looking to build an immersion chiller, search the DIY threads for the "rib cage" style IC. It's pretty cool looking and more efficient than the standard configuration IC. I am currently building one myself. One...

Ha! That's funny, 'cause I barely remember posting mine. Great minds... do... something... I can't remember how that saying goes...:drunk:

I didn't actually talk with my sister-in-law about it, my brother did, so I may have lost some of the details in translation. I just heard "winter kill" and dropped the idea. After hearing your results I will definately talk with her, and do some research on my own! I've done a little thinking...

Why not? Welcome from North Dakota Beanieman!

hey Quixotic. Welcome! I'm a newb too, I curently have my 4th batch in Mr. Beer. You caught my eye though. You say you're growing hops, and apparently beyond one year. My sister-in-law has a degree in horticulture, and has been growing hops in her garden for several years, she likes them as a...

yeah, it's ridiculous. to get to wichita we have to go to Minneapolis, that's normal. From there we have to go to Memphis, then on to Wichita. Memphis aint really on the way from here , in fact it's way out of the way. But that's how they work it. You think you have "puddle jumpers" in Wichita...

Hey, Schlotterbock, Welcome! I'm a newb too. I have my second batch in the fermenter right now. I've spent some time in Witchita for work. I work for a firm that dose a lot of work for ICM out of Colwich. Two summers (the latest time I've been there) ago I was in Wichita for six weeks. We...

Sorry, I screwed up that link. Try this one: http://www.pinkfloyd-co.com/disco/wall/wall_album.html If this one doesn't work, well, I don't know what to tell ya:drunk:

Easy. It's Fearless... or Learning to Fly... or On the Turning Away... or anything off Wish You Were Here... or anything off Dark Side... or maybe Comfortably Numb. Actually off The Wall, I really like Waiting For the Worms, or Mother, or Young Lust. Vera and Bring The Boys Back Home are really...

No need to waste oxyclean if you have Sam Adams bottles. Just soak for 30-45 mins. in warm water and they slide right off and bring most of the glue with. Sometimes the label on the neck leaves a lot of glue behind, but you can rub it off very easily with your fingers while holding it under...

I finally got the "West Coast Pale Ale" that came with Mr. Beer into the fermenter last night. Was delayed by circumstances out of my control. Can't wait to see how it turns out! Take care down there permo. Sounds like the Mighty Red is gonna rise fast next week.

About to get started in the world of home brew. My SWMBO ordered me a Mr. Beer for my birthday. My birthday isn't 'till end of April, but she spilled the beans about two weeks ago, and she couldn't resist my child-like enthusiasm any longer. It's on the way via UPS as I type! I plan on expanding...
