    Canning beer

    Nope, I printed them myself. I use matte label stock, print the background color and whatever image, and then use a typewriter to do the beer name, ABV, and volume.

    Canning beer

    I do. Friend of mine has an Oktober MK16. I buy my own cans and we share the canner. He gets a 4 pack and I get my batch canned.

    Did the math for fun and it costs me about $2 in electricity per five gallon batch.

    Massachusetts Full Electric RIMS setup for sale

    It's actually two separate panels. The toolbox panel uses a standard 120v outlet, and the other panel uses a 240v dryer outlet.

    10 gallon, depending on grain bill. I use it mostly for 5 gallon batches.

    Tri Clover Integrated Heating Element

    I like this idea but I don't know if it's that much of an advantage over my current setup. I use a hotpod setup and just remove the element after brew day and cover the hole with a TC cap.

    RIMS Temp Measuring Question

    Yeah it depends on a few factors like travel distance between your RIMS output and your MT. I set my RIMS temp about 1-1.5 degrees above my desired mash temp and it maintains perfectly but YMMV.

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Andes Mint Chocolate Stout

    No problem. That's a rule that's easy to forget about. I did the same thing measuring my Pumpkin Ale the other night - thought I had stalled and needed to repitch when I was sitting at 1.013

    Did you do the proper conversion for your refractometer reading? Once the wort has fermented, Brix doesn't translate straight across to SG once alchohol is present in the liquid. Try the second calculator here. http://www.brewersfriend.com/refractometer-calculator/

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Andes Mint Chocolate Stout

    You kegged it at 1.044? I would go back and pitch something neutral to try and finish it off. Did you do a taste test before you kegged? Maybe your hydrometer was off - it should be way too sweet at that gravity.
