• Posted in thread: What did you learn this week? on 01-20-2013 at 02:08 AM
  To keep better inventory. I have 2 batches ready to bottle, but only 30 caps. Also, that I can
  get craft beers much closer than I thought.

  My local water is drawn from a limestone aquifer, with a consistent, well buffered Ph of 8.4.
  PERFECT for African cichlids, beer not so much. I don't even try making ales with it. My

  Seconded. ^^ In my setup, the racking hose is the perfect size to fit the grommet. Just pull
