Well, I'm in a bit of a bind at work. My boss wants me to get a letter out to a German client, overnight mail by tomorrow. Only thing is a professional translation would cost over 100 dollars and the company doesn't want to spring for it. So it looks like we're going to use Google...

Am thinking some enterprising soul should write up a sticky with detailed instructions on how to put together a new vinator. I know I futzed with mine for a while before I got it together, and was sure it was defective until it all "clicked." Plus, I found mine takes quite a few more pumps...

I've had the same problem with moldy bottles, and my bottle washer did a great job of clearing them out. Glass is non-porous, so you don't have to worry too much. I usually just blast them clean, then sanitize with starsan in my vinator, and bottle. Never had a problem. Though if you are...

Check out the mead forum, lots of great people there. Welcome. And have patience, mead is a fickle mistress.

Welcome. Read some of the stickies on the various forums, they have a lot of great info.

Welcome. Brew and abide.

Hello and welcome!

I'm also a Freemason, PM me if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them. The days of "not talking about anything" are long gone.

Sounds like a great trip! I did something similar with scotch when I was in the UK, but brought back nowhere near as much sweet schwag. Nice score!

Hmm, I might be wrong, but technically I believe the keg belongs to the brewery in question (in this case Bud), and while you could keep it and forfeit your keg deposit, it's not really the liquor store's to sell you. Are you looking to use the keg to make a keggle, or to actually keg your...

Man that sucks. Here's to a quick recovery!

Yes, I tried searching and didn't find anything. Anyone know of good homebrew clubs in the Rochester, NY area?

Welcome. I'm still just an extract brewer, but hoping to try some all grain brews with Sigafoos sometime soon.

Welcome!

I'd say it's probably the yeast that was the problem, at that age I doubt you had many viable cells. If you buy an older canned kit off a shelf at your lhbs, your best bet is to buy new yeast to go with it. A cheap investment to ensure good beer. Welcome.

From every mistake you learn more, and getting those tough brews out of the way first just ensures you good brewing karma for making some great potables down the line. Don't get discouraged! Everyone has been there. Check out the brewing mistakes thread, a little blow-off is nothing. :-)

Welcome. Check out the sanitation forum for great info on reducing problems in your techniques. I know I've learned alot.

Welcome. You'll learn a lot here.

Thanks guys!

And now we're back to questions of temperature. If a pint (volume) is a pound (mass), then the volume will change relative to temperature, whereas the mass will not. Am I wrong?
