Good feedback, folks. We'll figure something else out. Thanks!

Even with a couple windows open and a fan in one pulling air though? I have a detector, as well that I reckon I'd set up.

Yeah, that's my issue. Upstairs in an apartment. Doing it outside would be a huge hassle, and my stove is really starting to suffer.

I've always boiled on our stove, but I want to move to a burner due to the wear on the stove's surface. I was considering a Darkstar burner based on the cost and reviews on MWS. 1. Is it safe to use inside a kitchen, on the floor? I'd probably put a piece of 3/4" plywood down anyway, just to...

I appreciate that! I will, for sure.

I feel like I may have waited to long already, so another couple days might not hurt? (we made this batch on Superbowl weekend and it's been in the same fermenter since). I don't know. The guy I talked to on the phone was really unimpressive with suggestions/advice, so I'm nervouse about...

I always try to buy locally when possible, so I'm extending that effort to brewing/bottling equipment. However, I see this kit on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BSJ2HW/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 And quite frankly, it's a good bit more of a value than the kit offered at the place...

Superbowl weekend, a good friend showed me how he brews using a really cool fly sparge system. He gave me 5 gallons of a Stone IPA clone that we made together in a fermenting bucket to bring back home from NJ to OH. I've had it sitting since then, so 3 weeks. So, a couple of questions. (I'm...

Thank you. And yes, it's an outstanding film. It's a shame so many people are under appreciating it's use as an intro.

Well, the guy that invited me mentioned how many pretentious people posted, so I figured I'd go with a pseudo-intellectual, borderline cinematic suppository to break the ice. Mr. Beer kit? That's funny. Kind of.

I'm quantim. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I've led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords, to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile and tribes of natives no white man has ever seen before. I've won...
