Ask those HVAC guys about adding Leak Freeze to your fridge to seal that hole. It works really good!

That thing's awesome! How'd you make it?

So I got my keg cut last night with a plasma cutter and didn't fill it all the way up with water... What's the best way to clean all that crap out?

Very cool! I have been thinking about changing up my Cube mash tun, ad this may be the route that I go. How much did that false bottom set you back? And how has it worked out so far?

Very cool! I can't wait to see it finished!

Dude that's awesome

It was also my first time using gelatin as a clarifier too. I was a little hesitant since it was a competition beer, but it worked great!

So here is my first pour from the bottle. The nose on this thing is crazy and It's weird, you can really taste that mint-like flavor. I'm really happy with it and I hope Bell's likes it too!

Thanks guys!

Here's my label for for my Papa Sass Belgique. When I finally make these labels I'm going to use card stock for the different levels and actually get them sewn (the little dashes around the outside of it). So that'll be fun!... Or not

I bottled about 20 bottles and kegged the rest (I hate bottling) so I think that I may try one this weekend and see how it's coming. It tasted really good at packaging (even the wife liked it!) so I have pretty high hopes for this one

So far so good. It's in secondary right now and tastes pretty good. I dry hopped with an ounce and I'm going to do a little ghetto cold crash here in a couple days (some ice in a tub inside my non-working fridge) and get it in some bottles. I can't wait to see how this one turns out!

Well I hope that it turns out ok. I came home and found the top and the inside cup of my air lock completely off for god knows how long... So I'm crossing my fingers that nothing too bad got in there. I guess it's time to get away from my 5 gal carboys and make my pony keg fermenter!

Well it's in primary right now. I decided to change my hop schedule to be just Polaris. I did .50 at 60 min, .25 at 20 and 5 min. I actually got my wort from Bells, they are doing a homebrew competition were they give you approx 5 gal of 2 row heated up just enough to pasteurize it, so that...

So I got my hands on about 3.5 oz (100 grams) of what's called Polaris hops through a small local brewery who got it from United Bottles. Here's a quick little run down on them (from United): "New high alpha breeding line with strong, pleasant, fruity, refreshing, Gletschereisbonbon...
