Made my own. The previous tenant was a handyman or something and left 100 feet of 5/8 inch copper soft copper tubing. I bought a tube bender tool and it works like charm. The copper alone sold for over $80 @ home depot. I had enough left over to make a second chiller which I place in ice...

Here's the story: I used a White labs pilsner yeast and pitched at 70. After fermy started I put the carboy in the fridge and let sit for 2 weeks at 50 - 55. I then gave the carboy a swirl or two and brought the temp up to 70 for about 36 hours. Fermentation started again and a new krausen...

My High School produced Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch, Jim Otto and Jeff Dellenbach, super bowl rings for Jim and Jeff and Dellenbach had a role in Ace Ventura Pet Detective. Funny thing about it is that I had a movie making class with Dellenbach in High School. The other two were before my time...

I've pretty much resigned myself to never brewing the exact same beer twice. Just too many variables for me to control. I haven't even really given it that much effort either. Besides, who was it that sang: "If memories were all I brewed, I'd rather drive a truck...but it's all right now..."

And remeber Jesse Jackson steppin' in when Ray Rhodes was fired! My theory ain't that crazy.

Personally, I think the slogan will be "Everyone needs a Chill".

Exactly once again! Remember when it was the Marquette Warriors? I do. Got kicked out of the dorms for playin poker too late.

What's next? Watermelon Malt Liquor? MILWAUKEE -- Miller Brewing Company said it would introduce a beer flavored with lime and salt in Latino areas, including San Diego, next month. Miller Chill, modeled after a popular style of Mexican beer called a chelada, will be test-marketed...

Actually, it was in the middle of the run on the second day through the park (Kings Canyon National Park). Zaino polish, stuff works wonders. This one was taken on the first day (Sequoia National Park):

It limits me to only brewing 5 gallon batches.
