I used 3M double sided automotive moulding tape (I got it at an auto parts store) and it's been holding for over 2 years. I used a 3/4" curved and routed shelf bracket (from Lowes) that I cut to fit the shelf width. So far, they've been holding strong. I use a 1 gallon container for...

Awesome!

This is bad advice. You need a big starter. A 2L stepped at least once or a 4L starter, or 3-4 vials/packs of fresh yeast. Pitching a single vial will most likely result in a poor quality beer at the OG you described. If you have a few days before brew day, make a BIG starter - otherwise...

I think you must be drunk NOW!! If your boss gives you warnings of the future with the company, you need to LISTEN and FIND ANOTHER JOB.

Buy two more vials.

I'm in the US, so I don't know the Ontario market, but a driver that can pass a drug test here is valuable. Find another company to drive for. And then see of you can work at the microbrewery on your days off. It would be a pain because you give up free time, but a benefit because you'll find...

Yes, the light layer is what you want.

Me too.

I'm on the South Shore. There are quite a few - look for postings by paulthenurse related to MA and you'll find some others.

I've had the beer. It's OK, not great, and not what other Trappists are like. And it's kind of expensive. I bought 2-4 packs when it was first introduced, but I don't think I'll buy any more.

I've never had that difficulty, but in thinking about how I open them I generally give them a twist first - which kind of "breaks" the seal. Then wiggle back and forth while pulling up until the come out. Not necessarily easy, but I've never used a cork puller on one.

For external controllers there are a couple routes to go. I have controllers that the freezer simply plugs into. Other brewers have hard-wired them in, but for me plugging into the controller was the easiest. I have two "factory built" controllers, a Johnson Controls A419, and a Control...

I think you're on the right track. For most homebrewers, over pitching is not an issue, and with a stepped 1 liter starter I think you'll be fine. I've done this in the past, but bought a larger flask just so that I don't have to step them up any more.

You might try HopShot, which is a hop extract using CO2. I'd make a mini extract wort, add the Hop Shot, cool then add to the fermenter. Best of Luck!

Pliny - definitely. Although not in San Francisco, it's close by European standards - Stone offers quite a variety in easy to share 22oz bottles.

I've done a couple, one great, one drinkable. A fun exercise in any case! Best of Luck!

You can pull the tube and cut an inch or so off the bottom. That solved my problem when I did the same thing dry hopping. I then purchased another dip tube so that I can use either one. I also bought a couple of screens that fit over the end of the dip tube that help filter debris out of the...

Of Course!!

First, I'd suggest you search the forums here and google "lager process homebrew" - you'll find lot's of info and some ideas on improving your process. My observations are, your fermentation temperature may be too high, 10 - 11 days may not be enough - you'll need to verify with your...
