Hi...can you send me a code, please. Thanks.

Stopping, of course, at the legal limit of 200 gallons for a household with more than one adult 21 or over.

There was a brewer in Nantucket Who fermented his wort in a bucket. ‘cause the build up of dreg * Prevented the use of his keg He could sure use a tool to demuck-it. (* Poetic license)

One of the articles in their "headlines" section that says that their previous kettle buyers suggested they raise the price, so they did. What happened to homebrewers looking out for each other?

I had the same quandry (partial mash v. all grain) a few years back. The consensus after discussing it with some guys in my homebrew club was to jump right in to the full AG. You don't save that much time with the partial mash, and if you have a decent mash rig (I started with the DennyBrew...

I do the same for 10-gal batches. My first-runnings bucket (6-gal) has an outlet tube attached towards the bottom. After adding the sparge water to my cooler/mash tun and vorlouf-ing, the bucket goes on top of the cooler, and both drain into the kettle (converted keg).

I brought both to a boil, but for different times. The IPA hop tea was boiled for 60 mins with Chinook to boost the IBUs, then added cascades at 15-min and 0-min for the flavoring and aroma. After steeping the crystal for coloring the Cal-Common, I did a 15-min boil for the flavor and aroma...

I make different beers from the same 10-gal mash/boil using additions made on the stove top. Last time, I started with a pale ale recipe with the bitterness near the lowest target IBU of the beers I was making, then (a) made a hop tea with a bunch of Cascades to make a California Pale in one...

I searched but did not find the answer to: With the understanding that 12.5 ppm Iodophor breaks down quickly (relatively) when stored in an open container, does anyone know how it holds up when is stored under pressure in a keg? - Does it keep for a while? - Does it cause the inside of...

You have a valid point ... BUT ... the common sense you espouse does not always prevail if someone decides to take the brewpub to court. They are just trying to take away a possible avenue for legal action. It's too bad that's the way it is, but it is.

I use something similar, with a folding scaffold from Pep Boys in place of the cinder blocks. Works great! tm

That's what I do. tm

I stripped some 14-gauge wire, coiled it using a piece of 1/2" OD copper as the form, then stuffed it into the braid. Works great.

Many of us have had success with Denny's set-up: http://hbd.org/cascade/dennybrew/ I followed his instructions with a 52-QT Coleman Extreme, and it works great. Overall cost around $40, including cooler. tm

If you like the beers you produce now, I say keg them. If you want to start taking more control over your final product, go AG. FWIW: I just recently made the switch to AG after two years of extract brewing, and all of my brews have been kegged. tm

Thanks. tm

I have two 1/4"x1/4" N45 magnets glued to the fan hub on my homemade stirrer, about 1" apart. Will stacking another magnet on each of the existing ones increase the strength of the magnetic field, thereby holding onto the stir bar better? tm

+1 on this. You can still use the cooler as a cooler by popping the original lid back on. I also made a 3-layer lid with a corny-keg sized hole to use as my portable keg cooler. tm

I spent some time in StL a coupla decades ago - St. Anne to be exact. The place I used to live has been replaced by an airport parking lot.
