Russian Imperial Stout please!

Nope. Wiesn is not the same as weizen. Totally different things. Great masskrug though!

What health concerns? Are you welding it?

Found these the other day at HD for $9. Heavy-duty and perfectly sized. Attached a pic of my plastic carboy in one of these crates for scale. http:\\www.homedepot.com/p/GSC-Technologies-11-in-x-13-in-x-13-in-Black-Milk-Crate-MC131311-002/204793156/

I got 1.055 too. My internet investigation of Kane's Facebook page revealed several other folks with the same measurement, with one even showing a picture of his refractometer reading. Let's see if this link works: https://www.facebook.com/KaneBrewing/posts/822146751169122

When did Westvleteren start labeling their bottles? I thought all they had was a different cap for each style...

What about when you wash them out? Don't you have to take them out of the crates?

My 8-gallon pot still has a black residue from the first time I used my SQ14 burner. The smoke smelled terrible and I eventually took the pot off to allow the paint to burn away so it wouldn't stain up the pot any more than it already had... That was at least 4 years ago, only surface rust on...

That's easy. Just drive to Northern Brewer and pick one up in-store. :)

The east coast warehouse is the Best. Thing. Ever. My last order from B3 was at least 3 years ago. I'm in NJ and it just seemed silly to order from a place literally across the country when I could get my order so much sooner from a shop on my side of the country. I saw recently that they...

They're "forward-sealing" which means there isn't liquid sitting in the faucet to dry out and get sticky.

Unless you're looking for the beard yeast, just buying Rogue Pacman is easier (tho obviously less fun): http://morebeer.com/products/yeast-liquid-wyeast-pacman-1764.html
