Yes. Pick up in Tulsa.

I didn't mention it in the original post, but these bottles are pick-up only.

I just got a call from a friend in the Tulsa, OK area. Fellow homebrewer has about 4.5 dozen 22 oz bomber bottles he has no interest in using. I forgot to ask, but it's likely they've never been used. They are free for the asking. Send me a PM and I'll get you in touch with him. Thanks, Homer

I'll likely go with a 2x6 collar. Just not this weekend. I'll probably wait to mount the temp controller until the collar gets installed. Testing the freezer with the controller as we speak!

Looking at the parts diagram, looks like all the cooling is done in a wall separating the hump from the rest of the freezer.

To mount the temp controller, I was going to use a couple sheet metal screws.

I've got an old Sears chest freezer that I'm converting. The model is 198617670, and a parts diagram is available here. Am I correct in assuming that there are no freon lines in the walls? I want to mount my temp controller on the front wall, but don't want to risk rupturing anything. I'm...

Had one a few days ago. Went to drop off my kid at a friend's house and his dad offered me a beer. To refuse would have been rude, so I drank it. It actually doesn't taste bad, just doesn't taste like beer. Highly drinkable. :D My rule has been not to drink BMC unless it is free, and there is...

Actually, there's a sensor that the pot normally sits on that will detect an overheating situation. Since no pot was sitting on it, it was overheating and shutting down. Took the leads off, crimped them together, and fired 'er up again. After 24 minutes, it's still going. Looks like problem solved!

Alright. Answered my own question using the Search function. Found this thread. Gonna give it a shot and see if it works.

I've got a Brinkmann turkey fryer. I just upgraded my BK to a keggle and was going to do a dry run today to see how long it would take to go from ambient to boiling and then back down to pitching temps. Not actually brewing, just testing with plain ol' water. So I fill the keggle with 12...

Scottish ale yeast generally has a lower attenuation rate than many other yeasts. I made a wee heavy a couple months back and I think my FG was around 1.018 or so. It was one of the tastiest brews I've made so far. I wouldn't worry about it.

I put a cookie sheet on the floor to catch any drippage from the bottle filler. I'll put another one on the counter for the bottles from now on though!

I had a few ounces of Amarillo zip-locked in the freezer for about a year. I used them for an APA, and found that they were still good for bittering, they had lost most of their aroma. It was still a good brew, just not very aromatic.

After chilling, I pour the wort back and forth between BK and fermenter a few times. Never failed me yet.

This is a cool graphic! I might steal it for my avatar, as long as there are no objections. Oh, and yes, you can never have too much Amarillo.

While it's always a good idea to have a CO detector on hand, I don't think that's the main danger of burning propane indoors. Like previous posters have stated, millions of people burn it on cooktops, furnaces, etc. It is not inherently unsafe. Propane is a hydrocarbon (C3H8) that when burned...

I agree, this is going to be a very tasty APA/IPA. If I'd have had anything else to substitute, I surely would have. Sadly, though, all I had was a couple different crystals. We make do with what we've got, I guess. Note to self: get some damn Melanoidin and stick it in the freezer...

I ended up with: 10.2 lb 2-row (I asked for 10 lb, my LHBS measured out 10.2 apparently) 6 oz. Crystal 15 4 oz. Crystal 45 Single infusion mash at 155, batch sparge. 1.25 oz Amarillo (7.8%) at 60, 15, 5 and 1 minute Safale US-05 Might dry hop with an ounce or so of Amarillo. Looking for a...

Bithead, I've got plenty of Crystal, but I don't want to overdo it. I *really* like this recipe, much more than when I use more Crystal. Dahoov, I'm thinking about mashing at a little higher temp, like maybe 156 instead of 152 like I usually do. Never done a decoction, and today's not the...
