I'm not really sure it would be that big of a problem. Floor drains are in almost every tile shower. So long as you flush a little water through the drain, I would think the problems would be minimal.

I know this was mentioned somewhere in this thread, but I wanted to confirm it. I had a 6 pack filled using the BMBF method that I left in my car for about 6 weeks. There were some pretty significant temp swings that it was subjected to (probably low 20s to low 60s). I opened one up last...

Not to discourage discussion or anything, but I vote to keep this as primarily a label thread. I know sometimes when I'm looking for inspiration/examples, I struggle to scroll through hundreds of topics. Therefore, it'd be nice to have one common (sticky?!?!?) label only thread. That said...

+1. Great service, great product, great prices. Tough to beat when it comes to entire kits.

First one is very difficult to read the text. The second one is nice. I might suggest a drop shadow on the text to set it off a bit more.

that, my friend, is a very clean-looking wheat beer. Congrats on your accomplishments so far!

Those darn kegs and lids can be very fussy. I agree, the soap and water is a good trick. I also try and go some place quiet and put my ear right next to the thing. I look like an idiot but it's a great way to listen for leaks. You'd be surprised where it can leak from: the lid seal, relief...

There is a fair amount of info on that discussed here. It's kind of a neat, techy/nerdy thing to add to a label. Plus it's something to talk about :mug:

Red Salamander is great. The guys are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Nice. Well, I haven't registered the name or anything, and I'm fine with you using it :) I don't plan on going commercial soon! So far my names have been: Lob Wedge Wheat, Alebatross, Pin High Pilsner, Hole-in-One Honey Wheat, and Hook Shot Hefe. I thought about doing Out-of-Bounds...

I decided to combine two hobbies of mine: golf and brewing. Hench, back nine brewing. All beer names incorporate golf terms. Here are two of my most recent labels. Input welcome

the burners looks great! how's the wood?????

If you can get your regulator to accurately show 2-3 psi, I'm impressed. Mine is noticeably inaccurate below 8-10 psi.

This is more out of curiosity, but what kind of time did it take to heat to boil and cool to pitching temps?

Laser color printer on standard paper. I may have to try coating the sides in glue to see how that works. Does the glue leave behind a noticeable residue on the bottle?

Keep us updated. I'm interested in the results. Also, I've noticed some of my labels stored in the fridge tend to fade a bit over time. Is this as a result of the moisture/ink or the glue? Just curious if either of you have an insights.

Zero reason to sanitize the kettle if you actually generate a boil. The high temp will kill any bacteria. If you are using a carboy as a primary, make sure it's fully sanitized and make sure your wort is cooled below 80 degrees before transferring. Otherwise, you may temp-shock your carboy...

subscribed. No vents on the front.

I tried the AHS version (very similar, I believe). I used the same yeast and it was a total PITA. Make a giant starter, IMO. For some reason this one was extremely fussy.

I'm guessing the temp controller controls the on/off power to the plug. The temp controller is plugged into the wall (really, the power for the whole system, controlled through the temp controller). With the temp parameters set, the temp controller will cycle on/off the power to the plug in...
