shoot.. I'll bite! Ethics and Morals? Where were the WMDs?

Make a starter to try and culture any of the good cells. I forget how many cells are included in a smack pack.. something like 500 million or billion. With that many floating around it's just statistics to assume that a small handful survived the deep freeze.

googled that and found nothing. I've recently started using RO water mixed to the proper ph level with our tap water here in san antonio and it seems to work out fairly well. That method should really work out for everything except a heavy beer.

nvm... didn't read everything.

Maybe if we managed to get someone with a bit more name recognition they might do it? Perhaps suggest this to Jamil for one of their Can You Brew It? segments. I'm very tempted to try this out in a small batch since it's so pricey. Need to find a 1 or 2 gallon container suitable to age this in.

Any idea how correct the grain bill is here? I'm wondering if three floyds might take a look at it and give you some direction if you email it to them? Considering they only release this once a year and they already have a veritable festival surrounding it, it wouldn't lose them any customers...

With the Brew on Prem. I went to you would come back 2 weeks later to bottle.

I'm glad you mentioned this... cause now I feel dumb. I went to look at the regulator and swap the lines etc, and realized the little valve on the gas line was turned off. I guess I did this after trying to force carb it and totally forgot to turn it back on. Flow is back now, but my carb...

First keg is in the fridge right now and after going through some motions to force carb it, we're noticing it's really f'n slow coming out of the tap. It's an IPA that was dryhopped in a secondary, and then siphoned from secondary to keg. During that keg transfer, a good deal of the pellet...

just had to wrench it down all man like. It wasn't on all the way. Things are going better now.

yah, if I had known how ****ty this adapter was I probably would have convinced the wife on springing for the 5lb tank. LHBS said to just wrench it down tighter. I call shenanigans... I shouldn't be pulling muscles to have to wrench this adapter down tight enough.

I took it to a sports store and had them recharge it. The guy said there was a little something in it, but not much. Even with it fully charged, I screw on the adapter and I'm not hearing anything come out of the canister. Hook everything up to the regulator and see nothing going on. I'm...

just got a regulator, 20 oz CO2 bottle and lines to hook up to a keg, but something doesn't seem to be working here. From what I'm reading, the adapter for the 20oz bottle should be all that's needed to hit the valve on the bottle, but I don't hear anything coming out when I screw the...

so far so good, after taking the freezer compartment off the mount tabs in the back I let it sag for a few mins just to see what it's tendency was. It wants to go vertical and I obliged it. Letting it sit a little longer before going further with it. I want the tube towards the top of...

I'm not going to be able to build a collar easily. I don't have alot of tools, and I'm trying to do this without spending any money that isn't necessary. I also don't have a ton of room, I'm in an apartment so space is a concern as well as portability because I'm eventually going to have to...

It's an older franklin chef model, looked about 4.5 or 5 cu.ft. The corny needed another inch or so vertical clearance to make it in. I'll grab a model number later today when I go pick it up.

I just got my first corny keg as a birthday present and also re-inherited my old mini-fridge from my parents so that I can make a kegerator. However, after looking at the fridge I found it's one with a freezer compartment that looks like it doubles as the cooling coil. To complicate things...

So, took my time, transferred today... is it me, or is this thing green? I'm colorblind so maybe I'm confusing my colors, but it looked lime green to me.

About to transfer to secondary with this, hit the gravities pretty much square on with some white labs California Ale Yeast. Wonderful hops tastes, aromas, and definitely getting malt and toastiness in there. Can't wait til this is cleared and cooled... it won't last long. Thanks for this recipe.

Even worse than I thought. I didn't correct the 1.016 reading, it's really 1.018. It hasn't moved much since my original post 3 days ago either. It was sitting right on the 1.016 line rather than just right above 1.016. Taste is a little sweeter than I'd like for this strain too. Oh well...
