First of all, congrats on the new shop! I am thrilled to see people so enthusiastic in new ventures. That keg deal is great, are you sure you are in business to make money? I really don't need any more, but hmmm at that price.... Anyway, I probably would not hold my next order just for the...

Oh, and we're checking with the Brewery to see about bringing homebrews onto the premises. Until we get a definitive answer, let's not jeopardize their license. So for the first meeting at least (unless we hear back otherwise) lets leave the six packs, bombers, growlers, cornies, half-barrels...

Excited to announce a kick-off meeting of the Northern Hills Homebrewers Club on Tuesday, March 6th at 6:30!!! Come join this new group to be hosted by the Crow Peak Brewing Company in at 125 West Highway 14 in Spearfish, SD Join local homebrewers of all ages and experience levels. Looking to...

I am a little more clear-headed right now so let me give this a shot. If: a) The yeast have been "killed off" and you have racked off of the bulk of the sediment, or b) The alcohol level is in excess of what the yeast will survive in you might not restart fermentation. I just added a boat...

Just posted what is left to Craigslist, but I'll still sell them at this price to you all :D

Getting a bunch of rhizomes from my sister (as soon as the ground thaws in SD!) I'll tag along here if anyone has some "favorite" links that they might want to share...

Thank you Dicky & Yooper. Water=1.000 thus no more fermentables is the missing link my mind couldn't put together somehow.... why I couldn't put together the basics is beyond me. :o

Maybe I missed this, and admittedly I am new to the higher OG arts, but I understand that fermentation is complete at or slightly below 0.998. What I am curious about is why? Is it a factor of the OG and yeast just giving up once the alcohol level increases beyond their tolerance levels? For...

Okay, I have a few more steel 20 pounders than I need. Here is what I am looking at: $60 as is (probably out of hydro) $85 full (good hydro stamp) ---or--- I'd be willing to consider a trade of a tank for a reasonably well made cooler-type mash tun if you have just upgraded or have an...

Very nice! I like that you spaced your faucets out and could add two more down the line if you choose. That is exactly what I am looking for. I realize they are rough markings, but will the 24" drip tray catch the two end faucets? I guess I'm looking for the inside dimension of the main coffin.

Same location for me. I am debating using a pre-built kitchen base cabinet for simplicity and speed (removing the drawer and reattaching the panel), or custom building one. I would rather go the custom route as I will know the quality will be there. However, until the shegage (little more than a...

Fair warning this might take a while. As a single father, it will likely take me some time to accomplish this. Given all the great threads detailing the inspiration, I figured that I would throw my lot in too. The goal is to design something that is modular in nature. Something that can grow...

Do you have a good source for the O2 barrier bags?

Now that popped up on two of my feeds! Wish I needed one... I'm up at the Doylestown end of Almshouse. Small world.

Had my first blow off... maybe I should start using fermcap in my starters. Left this morning with a little trickle coming out from under the foil. 4 hours later: It took the foil cap right off the top! That's 1600ml of 001 ~20 hours in.

Blow off tube needed?

Yup. - 4hrs later

I have been wanting to write this for some time now. This really is more of a feedback post. But given it's geared more to new brewers, I thought I would post it here. If the Mods feel so inclined, feel free to move it. I won't be offended. Given my 10+ year hiatus, I consider myself a "newbie."...
