I'm thankful for the new roof over my head, my kid's special talents, my wife's smile and the beer in my kegs. What else could one wish for? N_G

Ressurectus Threadus! I brewed the BYO recipe when it came out. I did the all-grain version as written but subbed the same ibus of Glacier instead of Willamette. It was an amazing beer and I will be doing it again. N_G

So it's been a few weeks and a quick tasting from The Keg today indicated that the acidic Tang is greatly reduced but still perceptible. I took your advice and tossed in less than a quarter teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in my glass. Like magic, it turned into a full-bodied stout beer with no...

It is current under pressure in the fridge. After a week, should i pull it and leave it at room temps for a while to condition, or just let it stay in the fridge. Wondering about the fastest way to get to good beer.

Brewed a stout from extract and steeping grains (following a Breiss white labs recipe card from a recent BYO). Recipe is 2 cans of breiss dark lme, one at 60 mins, the other at flameout. Steeping graouns were 1 lb flaked barely, 1lb breiss chocolate, 1/2 lb each munich 10 and roasted barley...

Thanks for the photo! N_G

By the way, these recipe cards, although free with BYO, are pretty good if you like the style. I've brewed a few of them over the years per the stated recipe and I've always been happy with the outcome. I have quite a collection of the ones that interest me. This Black IPA looks tempting and...

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was hoping for! N_G

I'm looking for someone with the Nov. 2016 BYO magazine. Its the one with the automated brewing systems featured on the cover. I'd like someone to take a pic of the Breiss/White Labs double recipe card that comes as an inert in BYO. I'm missing that month from my collection (I know, its...

Sure, sounds great!

Can locks are in use with the pump. But the pump is mounted in a hard to reach area and I'm loathe to move it.

Thanks guys! If it were simple to store the pump aside from the rig, I would. But that would require some thought and tool time. I'd rather spend it turning a few screws and making beer. Thanks for the info!

Quick question: What is the thread pitch on the #8 1-1/4 inch round head screws that hold the pump head to the rest of the March 815 pump? Reason: I want to start storing my brewing hardware outside. Because it will freeze over the winter, I want to remove the pump head after each use...

When you buy in bulk, do you buy DME or LME?

That was fascinating, thanks for posting that.

The Williams brewing maltextracts are very, very good. Once a year Williams discounts their malt for a few days. Their Belgian pale ale, English brown, and American red extracts are very good and make tasty beers. I like to 'slum it' occasionally and just do a quick extract batch with their...

I think you'll be fine but would move all the citra to the 1 minute mark. I think it will be OK, but worst case scenario you've brewed yourself a nice session IPA. Brew on!

I do these short boil extract brews often. It looks fine to me. You plan to chill it pretty quickly with an IC or a counterflow chiller, right?

I am also a fan of the unwaxed floss and keg lube system. Have been using it for a few years with no lost CO2. I also never retrieve dry hops hanging within a full keg. The way to effortlessly remove dry hops from a keg of beer is to suspend the hop bag with the floss at about 6 to 10 inches...

My absorption ratio is generally 0.6 - 0.75 depending on grain bill. I do a full volume mash and usually start with 7 - 8 gallons depending on how much grain I use.
