  Good point, should have included it first. 5g into the bottling bucket with 4 oz (0.57 cups) of
  the priming sugar that came wit the kit (Sierra Nevada clone) dissolved into 2 cups water (from
  the NB p...

  So here's the problem. I brewed a Sierra Nevada extract clone and I have ended up with tasty

  I'm going to second the 3/8" 50' stainless option. Just dropped 5 gallons from 210 to 80 in 10

  When I lived in Wurzburg, I had one of my best weekends ever in Prague. This was in '99, so
  everything was dirt cheap. Top restaurants with amazing pilz, and I was paying the equivalent
