Pep Boyz has a 70 amp AC arc welder going for 79 dollars. Would the thing even be suitable for welding angle iron with, to make a three tier AG setup? There aren't many horses under the hood. From the ad: * two heat settings * welds from 18 gauge up to 1/8" steel * 115 volt input...

Anyone ever go into a bar back in the 70s and drink "dark" beer? I'm wondering what kind of beer it is/was? The choice was between regular and dark. Dark lager of some sort? When out partying with the hoodlums back then, we would order dark. Of course, back then, anything that was...

Craft Beer Industry Enjoys Resurgence Staff and agencies 27 March, 2006 By CLARKE CANFIELD, 54 minutes ago PORTLAND, Maine - Like most small breweries, Gritty McDuff‘s went through a lull as sales of craft beer leveled off in the late 1990s. Now Gritty‘s and the craft beer industry as a...

A thought just occurred to me. Not sure how original it is. How about using a round cooler lid? The extended part could fit down in the hole cut out in the top? Are there any cooler lids small enough to fit right down on top of a keg? I don't have any round coolers around here to...

What are your thoughts on hangovers (headaches) caused by homebrew vs. typical American beer like Bud/Miller/Coors? Which is worse and and why? I can only seem to drink a couple of bottles of my SNPA clone on steroids at a time (but gawd is it good at the time). I guess that is why we have...

Can you get the parts at Lowes/Home Depot to make up bulkhead fittings like this, that would work in Sanke kegs? Or is this item something you can only get from a homebrew outfit? Thanks...

... you can cut the top out of a Sanke keg. It took over two hours and about a half a package of the little cut-off discs, but I did it. If all you have is a Dremel, you can do it too if you need to. Just be sure to wear safety glasses. I'm celebrating by drinking a 24 oz Arrogant Bastard...

Any wine connoisseurs out there have an opinion on oak taste in wine? I just ordered a Winexpert, Nappa Valley Stag's Leap District, Merlot kit, that on a scale of 0 to 3, is a 3 on oak intensity. It will have a regular and French oak chips to be added to the primary. Should I cut back...

With the temperatures getting warmer here in Texas, I want to get another batch or two of ale done before it gets too hot. I also need to make up a batch of good wine. Could I put off making the wine a little longer? Is the winemaking process more tolerant of higher temperatures? I live...

I know lots of guys are using coolers these days, but I already have three unconverted Sanke kegs, thanks to my buddy in Fort Worth. If you had three kegs, would you concentrate on building a three tier setup, and forget about the cooler idea? All I have now is my turkey fryer rig, a 32...

I guess this is it! Can you find me a SNPA? I think there's one way down in the bottom.... Go Seahawks! Edited: I don't believe in the HBF jinx. The 'Horns hooked 'em! :D

Anyone here have or know here I can find a clone recipe for Heilman's Special Export? I told you it was an oddball request! lol It's probably not great beer compared to a typical homebrew, but you can't buy it down here and I know someone who really likes it. It would help if I could...

...and my dry hop bag is floating on top of the SNPA clone in the secondary? Anything to be worried about? Everything except for the hops was sanitized beforehand. It doesn't seem like a thin layer of carbon dioxide would cover that thing up. Then hops are known for their preservative nature, so...

My SNPA clone recipe calls for this: 5 gallons IBU 32 5.5% abv 1 oz Nugget @ 8.5% AA (8.5 HBU) for 60 minutes 1/2 oz Perle (flavor hop) for 15 minutes 1 oz Cascade (aroma hop) for 1 minute 1/2 oz Cascade leaf (dry hop) ----- During the partial boil I added the following...

Does most everyone adjust the flame to where it is mostly blue with maybe just a few tips of yellow? That's how I did it last night making my SNPA clone from Clone Brews. I like the sound of the all blue flame. lol It should be cleaner burning that way as well. I did notice that the...

I'm in the market for a turkey fryer rig that I can also use for a Cajun crawfish/shrimp boil. I have searched for and read all the pertinent threads and my head is spinning. There's ring burners, jet burners, high pressure, low pressure, 15 dollar target remote control burners, Bayou...
