Estimating BB volume with a tape measure

I wanted to be able to estimate how much beer was in my BB so I know how much priming sugar to mix up. I know I could transfer to the bottling bucket first and then add the sugar - but I don't like...

I have been using the same starsan for 6 months, just get some ph strips and test it before each use. You also may want to check to make sure your drain pipes aren't copper (like mine are), starsan...

I usually drink my samples, but I have also put them back, either way is fine if you've sanitized.

This was my first AG batch so I am still getting my process down and probably didn't watch it as closely as I should have. When I checked half way through I hadn't lost any significant heat; after I...

Mashing in a pot is easy, just wrap it in some of this after you kill the heat.

I haven't had any issues with the food saver jar attachment myself, but if I weren't going to use that, I'd probably just use the regular food saver bags. You could use a large food saver bag and...

I already have a foodsaver that we use a lot. Thinking of getting the mason jar attachment for this purpose. Do those of you who use mason jars then put the jars in the freezer or on a shelf...

Trying to remember if I responded to this before, but I don't think I did. For me it was after around 10 batches I think. Wouldn't want to go back, ice batch wasn't bad but it took about 4x as long.

It's as fast as possible regardless of beer style. The reason is colder temperatures inhibit the growth of bacteria. I think what you're really looking for is to get below 100 as fast as possible,...

This is the way to do it. Add it to the bucket and rack on top of it. It will carb up with time.

Sorry, I have to join the "no" crowd as well. I would stick to my BB's. I haven't even needed a cloth to clean them, just shake and rinse.

Yeah, except each year the flu shot is just a guess. They don't know which strain will hit hard. It's hard to get a shot they may or may not protect me, from an illness I may or may not get.
