This paper is interesting. http://www.academia.edu/10053518/Composition_of_distilled_Perique_tobacco_liqueur_A_connoisseur_s_spirit_or_a_health_risk_due_to_nicotine Jean Nicot - Brouwerij De Graal makes a beer with tobacco. Camine con cuidado... you don't want to :tank:

One could also skip the "activation" period and just pitch the yeast before they fell asleep again...

Rethink your gas lines / valves entirely. That set up is dangerous and those valves are too close to the center burner. They will be HOT!

This thread might single handedly keep the US Postal Service open for 2013. Way to go Jay!

You guys take yourselves far too seriously. The op asked how to add a creamy mouthfeel, not how to make a cream ale that fit the BJCP guidelines. Help the guy make the beer HE wants, not the cream ale YOU would make.

Soak in PBW for days, rinse, repeat until clean. It should breakdown any organic matter. After it is clean, smack yourself acrossed the knuckles a few times so you remember not to do that again. If you cant get it clean, and decide to buy a new one, you can PM me for my shipping address. :D

IMHO when cooking with beer, use a beer that you think has a fantastic aroma. That seems to be what comes through in the end.

Halfway down on the right are the nylon pieces that you did not mention, but will probably need to be replaced as well, and on page 2 you will find the plastic dip tubes. http://www.williamsbrewing.com/KEG-PARTS-C78.aspx

No problem, just release the pressure slowly as not to lose too much carbonation. When you put the sanitized dip tube back in, you may get some foaming.

Likely that your extra light DME has crystal malt already in it.

Why not brew your Black IPA? Plenty of hops to hide any off flavors. Dry hop in the keg.

Pour a handle of bourbon in it. Rotate the barrel a couple of times per week.

The cheap faucets are fine if your steady pulling pints. If you take a vacation or get tired of drinking from a certain keg, they get stuck like glue.

Spend the money on the needle valves as well. Even small things like the wind will mess with your flame and it is nice to have the needle valves to adjust. I believe that all of the ball valves rated for gas (check the water heater section of your hardware store) are flare fittings. Flares are...

Ranco = revoked ghetto pass.

I have them on my system. Hard copper pipe with shark bites at the manifold and keg connections. Not a single problem in 2 yrs. Easy to remove/attach with the little plastic "tool." As stated above they do swivel, so keep that in mind.

Our club is doing a sour project and filling a 55g wine barrel with a BDS. We are looking at using the wyeast lambic blend. I'm looking for some feedback on building a starter for a project this large. Length of time needed. Starter volume. Problems with competition between bugs while growing...

If you utilize a grant, you can use 1 pump to any combination of vessels. I have a elevated HLT, fly sparge with gravity and drain mash with gravity. I vorlauf with pump and pump to BK and gravity or pump to fermentation vessel. edit: oops just realized that picture has my fermentation vessel...

How could leaving the last inch if beer prevent Brett from getting into his keg?
