in!

Ha, jinx. :tank:

I would just let it settle out in the keg. The first glass or two you pull after that should take out most of it. Racking it back into a secondary just introduces a mess of oxidation and sanitary concerns.

Oh yea. 6.5 gallon glass carboy. 6 gallons of Russian Imperial Stout spread out in a nice even layer all over my basement. Looked like a black bomb went off in my ferm chamber. Airlock clogged up overnight and I came home the next day to a house that smelled like a brewery. Took me longer...

Good info, thanks!

I'm in :)

I would think so. At least good for a few weeks. Not sure about months though.

I'm in!

My 6.5 gallon glass carboy just shattered on me... I'm in!

Amen. Double brew day tomorrow though :ban: We're doing a RIS and a Golden Belgian strong. First time trying to do a double-staggered brew day so should be interesting. Especially if it snows like I hear it might. t-minus 2 hours till I'm home grinding grain and sipping some belgian...

+1 to New Glarus. Specifically, Spotted Cow and their Raspberry Tart.

Hands down, the best resource I've found for developing some serious bbq chops is meathead's amazingribs.com http://www.amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/index.html I've probably spent 20+ hours reading on that site and have barely scratched the surface. Just talking about it makes me...

Congrats man! My wife is due any day now. The classes we took through our hospital on labor and how to take care of your new born were totally worth it. At least gives you the illusion that you have some idea of what you're getting into :) Brewing the "impatient man's lambic" this weekend...

Weldless bulkhead and SS ball valve for my brew pot. I've melted my last auto-siphon!

Cascade, Centennial, and nugget. Hope the wife is ready for this little surprise in the yard :D
