Ron Rock is right, as long as there is water filling it, cut away with the plasma, but a grinder using the lip as a guide is how i will do my next one. That way I have a comparison...

Yup yup, very similar, yours are a bit worse than mine, but same issue. If ya learn any tricks, let me know! Hope they are salvageable!

I had some kegs cut by a buddy of mine with a plasma cutter a couple weeks ago. I didn't put water in em, (hindsight 20/20) and had cleaned them out and removed the spears prior to his cutting. When I picked them up, the inside looks like the cloud of smoke from the gas coated much of the...

How about an orbital sander with 220? I have some slag on my sidewalls too...

dang, look what happens when ya go 24 hours without looking! If anyone drops out, let me know. Great fella to deal with here.

Town Hall would be priority #1.http://www.townhallbrewery.com/ Barley John's is great also, http://www.barleyjohns.com/ though a bit farther away. Go to Fulton Beer website, http://www.fultonbeer.com/the-beer and look for locations they have their beer, GREAT upstart beer that you will only...

Thanks Stefano, I should be able to get a few messages, I really should upgrade so I can get more. We'll see. Thanks for the invite, if you schedule a day, I'll see if I can come down. 1 other member has also replied that is quite a bit closer too.... THANKS for the offer!

Thanks Yooper, another member sent me a PM as well. Hopefully we can work something out. I NEARLY went to NMU in 1993, love da UP. Dan

Hi all, I am beginning to learn about all grain. I'm reading all I can and watching video etc. I live 45 minutes N of the cities up 35. If anyone has an brew session planned that would allow me to come by, hang out, ask some questions and learn from you, I certainly would appreciate it...

Thanks Revvy, I don't plan to bottle or keg this batch for a while, so I will likely take a reading in a week or so to see if it has reached terminal velocity. The visuals of the fermentation process have all followed similar for me up to this point, and this one is longer lasting, that's why...

Today is day 17 of a batch of a 5 gallon extract EdWort Pale Ale I brewed. Except I only had Safale s-04 for yeast. Fermentation started in 24 hours, and has been going for 17 days. I have NOT taken a hydrometer reading from it (forgot at OG) and don't want to interrupt brewing now. Temp has...

I haven't brewed any all grain. I have a buddy that brews batch sparge, and he brewed one while I was extract brewing, so I have a basic idea, but not much more. I really don't think I'll end up heating the MT. If I wrap a water heater blanket around it, it should maintain enough temp. 2...

I have accessed the kegs to setup a 3 keg brewery. I am gathering the parts to get it up and running. I am not sure about a few things I need advice on. The Mash Tun... Should I buy a false bottom for the Sanke? If so, 11, 12, 15 inch? Flat, Domed? Or should I build a copper...

Those Original glasses look great. These look good, http://www.discountmugs.com/nc/personalized-glassware/1921/55-oz-popular-drinking-glasses.htm and the price seems fair, I'd like a dozen, but not at the $3.81 and shipping..
