Worth a shot! Love SS brewtech's stuff!!

Has anyone tried modifying the code of RPints to change the fields/add new ones to the beers? I'm no PHP expert by any stretch, but I've fumbled around a bit and was able to take several of the fields off of the beer_form.php file and added a couple new ones, but when I set them, they aren't...

Hey folks, So... a few folks in the local homebrew club got together last year and brewed a big 'ol RIS. We bought a Jim Beam barrel and filled it up. For one reason or another (not too worried about the reason -- the beer is where the beer is) the beer took on a huge sherry wine flavor...

Wow.. Awesome deal!!! I love my SS Brewtech bucket, and my buddy has some kettles from them that are pretty sweet too!

Awesome!!! I'm totally in! :)

Oh, I'm counting.. Counting veeeerrry slowly. :(

you know I'm in!! This looks AWESOME

1: I haven't had any issues with that so far, but I haven't had the bucket long enough for it them to rust yet. Can't help ya here. 2: I don't think so. The earlier batch of buckets had a different gasket on the top and they were shipping out a second one that was different. The newer ones...

whoa. that sounds EXTREMELY cool (no pun intended) .. wonder how it will work?

Hey there.. I'm in the ABNormal Brewers. It's a fun club, but maybe a bit far for you since you're in Decatur and we're in B/N. Either way, we meet on the 2nd Monday of the month at Fat Jack's downtown if you're ever in the area and want to stop by! There's a few groups of us that brew...

heck yeah. that sounds fantastic!

cool cool. what's done is done! added 1lb of D-90 to the BDS and for giggles threw 1lb of D-180 into my RIS. the RIS was a little under on gravity, should be interesting. thanks for the re-assurance :)

Hey HBT, need some advice/info. I've got a Belgian Dark Strong that's been sitting in the primary for a couple of weeks and I haven't had a chance to add the 2 1LB packs of D-90 I bought for it. (brewers neglect is a terrible thing, btw) I've finally got some time to pull stuff out and...

So, I tried the gelatin.. Used a 1/2 packet into the cold crashed keg (depressurized). It cleaned up a little bit, but not nearly enough. At this point, I'm not sure adding more gelatin is going to do anything, though. Seems that most of the "funk" is still in solution.

Gelatin is an interesting idea.. I hadn't thought of that. I think I'll pull some beer out of the keg and test it out on small scale to see what happens. Good suggestion!
