I've never done that kit, or that style, but I have done a number of wheat beers, and never bothered with a protein rest, and they've all turned out fine (except for one that was slightly off due to higher fermentation temps). But if you'll have more peace of mind after doing it, and are...

My partner and I are moving into a house in the beginning of January. I’m excited, as our current living situation has left a lot to be desired, except for one thing: the current apartment has worked out well for brewing (at least I think so). I won’t get into the drama behind our...

You can just order it straight from SS brew tech's site. I did over the weekend. It's not a different model of bucket, just an accessory that you buy seperately.

It might be fun to have it slightly built into a wall, but protruding a few feet from the back, so that it actually *is* larger on the inside. :D

Wow, I love that that is a thing.

I'm curious. What is this O-Ring store? :D

I received one of mine Saturday morning (the other shipped two days later and should arrive tomorrow). Like others here, mine had some black spots of compound that were tricky to remove - including in the center of the cone at the bottom. No matter how hard I scrubbed, soaked with PBW, or even...

I'll be in my bunk.

Geez, first we were arguing about off topic minutiae, now you're just giving me valid reasons to hate you ( I keed, I keed ;) )

I don't see hypocrisy, and I never said the experience of using a non-apple product wouldn't be better, just different. Android and Windows 8 are a different experience than iOS. It's not a matter of opinon - it's a fact by definition, and whether one is better than another is subjective, but...

Eh, if you're happy with the product, that's all that matters. Once I bite the bullet and purchase something, I stop reading reviews and do my best to ignore other people's opinions. Too many people get bent out of shape over the products other people use, or feel the need to constantly justify...

This is going to be my last post on the subject because I don't wish to derail the thread. Having a difference of opinion (and expressing it) and a low post count does not make me a forum troll. I apologize if my original post was too terse in nature. Thanks for the warm welcome.

From the article you linked: Based solely on parts and manufacturing. There are plenty of other costs such as R&D, marketing, store overhead, software R&D that other manufacturers don't have, support, etc. that go into these products. I'm not denying that there's a markup, but it's not pure...

Citation Needed. One of the main reason Apple's products are more expensive than similarly specced competing products is due to the fact that they use, on the whole, higher quality and often custom-engineered components, rather than putting together devices using existing, mass-produced...

One thing that occured to me: Has anyone who has one of these used them for bottling? I imagine that you could just add your priming solution, give it a little careful stir (also being careful not to kick up the trub) and bottle right out of the fermentor. Up until now, I've used a racking cane...
