    sex toy scandal at Northwestern

    I'm not sure if this is getting national coverage or not, but the story is great. So apparfently they got this couple to perform on stage in front of the class with a cordless sawzall with dildo attachment and she orgazimed. Most students were reportedly moving in for a closer look. Awesome. I'd...

    better bottle vs. bucket

    So I have used glass carboys(love em), buckets(love em) and a water cooler bottle(meh). Am I missing something? What is the point of a "better bottle"? I see absolutely no benefits over a bucket, except being able to see in(pfff). Seems like the shape comes from the water coolers and got...

    Couple post-brew questions

    I brewed my second AG batch last night. Things I learned this time around were that I really need another burner. Keeping sparge water temp on target was a pain with just my one burner and 6 gallon kettle. It was a 5.5 gallon batch and the kettle is just too small...but i got er done. My...

    slow fermentation, wwyd?

    I have the extract kit from Midwest, Deep Dark Wheat. I brewed it on 4/8 and just check gravity today...1.020. I used the white labs American Hefeweizen Ale 320. I figured it would be much lower/done by now. Should I agitate or move it to a warmer room? It fermented a bit low, 56-62* but i...

    kettle to fermentor transfer

    so i just dump my wort thru my strainer into a bucket. then i dump the bucket thru the funnel/strainer into the 6.5 carboy. I feel like this is really good for aeration of my wort. I do notice in the carboy i get alot of foam/head forming from the splashing and the drop to the bottom of the...

    Star San(longterm storage question)

    I know this stuff is good for a very longtime if made with RO/DI water. So I made up a 5 gallon batch and I can easily put the lid on it and save it for a few batches, couple months, brewing career:p. But since sugars and other things do end up in the solution during cleanup does this effect its...

    "No chill" hybrid

    I did my first "no chill" brew last weekend. I love the benefits it offers. Since I pitch within 24-48 hours I figure I can do a hybrid method and get the best of both worlds. My plan is to drop the hot kettle in about 15 gallons of cold water. This rubbermaid will be the sanitizer/cleanup...

    which carboy to get?

    I've decided on a 6.5 glass carboy for primary and originally planned on one for secondary. I figured why not spend the extra couple dollars to have more volume and therefore more future options. I could see these being used as secondary and use 7 gallon buckets for primary down the line...
