- I was given a Mr Beer kit some 10+ years ago as a gift. Little did I know that gift would spark this crazy obsession that has consumed many a weekend and more $'s than I will ever admit to.
- Well, Hurricane Irene (2011) pretty much put the whole brewing hobby on hold while we re-build the brew shed (12'X20') that was destroyed by a fallen tree. Most of the equipment suffered only dents and scratches. Thank goodness! The down time has allowed me to do several upgrades and changes I wished I had done the first time. Hence the "insulated and finished" brew shed, upgraded power (80 amps), and new equipment. I've done alot of the DIY projects to include a CFC, Stir-Plate, Site glasses, etched carboys, a 3 tap keezer, a dual temp controlled fermentation chamber (both with very cool "chalk board" paint), custom tap handles (white lab vials), stainless dip tubes, and prolly many more I've forgotten about. Hi, my name is Paul, and I'm an addict.

If they were anything other than the blickmann burners, I'd agree. Barely even get warm and
used those exact 3 for the last 5 years. No worries my friend. The bigger danger would be using
those burner...Posted in thread: When to stop mash runnings? on 03-22-2013 at 07:26 PM
+1 on sparging until I get the preboil vol I'm looking for. But I always test the running for

I've been a reefer for 25 years. Sorta got out of it when my tank crashed about 3 years ago
(lost most coral, fish are OK), but in the last few weeks I've been messing with it again. I've
got an RO/DI...Posted in thread: Merging two hobbies, RO/DI & Beer on 01-24-2013 at 12:27 PM
No harm at in in using DI water. Its just unnecessary to get brewing water that mineral-free.

chamber whe...
