So I just got this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FBL2G0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 and I've been reading how to use it. Now I'm just confused. Can someone give advice or point me to a thread/website describing everything? After I post this I will read the posts below :D

Thanks for the post, I learned and lot. Even though I don't have a clue what stuck sparges are yet :) I'm sure I'll look back one day be glad I read this first :mug:

I always figured the temp did it. However my second batch stayed at 70-72 the entire time and there are no off flavors at all. The batch now has a tshirt over it in the tub and it stays around 68-70. I need a used fridge or freezer off craigslist. Stockspeed, drink up man. You need to hydrate...

As I sit her enjoying a mug of raspberry wheat I created I just can't help thinking I want to dump my first batch. This raspberry wheat is truly great. I followed the advice from this forum and had patience. I would put it head to head with Purple Haze any day. So, at least I can brew a good...

yea I could, I guess I just didn't want to disturb the trub before racking.

So after 4 weeks it was time to dry hop my IPA in the primary. I decided to use this short grain bag that came with my kit. I think it was supposed to be used for hops during the boil but I never used it. So I thought I would hang it inside the carboy for the dry hop. It barely submerged into...

So I got this new toy today http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FBL2G0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 When I read about it on HBT I was under the impression I could use it instead of an Hydrometer for gravity readings. Now that I've read a little more it seems it only really works accurately for AG...

Not sure about the plastic taste is, I haven't read anything about that. As for the StarSan it is made to be ingested without effecting the taste of the beer. Wiping it with a paper towel afterwards basically nulls out the fact that you sanitized. The paper towel could have bacteria on it. I...

+1 and the filter that fits the funnel is about worthless.

Like everything in the hobby the time frame to carb is debatable. Here's a good link https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/keg-force-carbing-methods-illustrated-73328/

give him this website :D and keep reading for yourself

I decided to keg instead of bottle because I wanted my beer faster. You have to wait 1-2 weeks after fermentation to get good beer in bottles. You can be drinking your homebrew in only 2-3 days with a keg. The downside is that the startup costs are more expensive than bottling. Eventually I want...

My sense of smell is much better now. I noticed this morning how "different" the world smells. Kinda weird I know. I can't tell yet if my pallet has changed but I still don't like the taste of my first homebrew :( ALL WINTER?!?!?! That's gotta be like 9 months where you're at :D jk. I have...

Thanks for the info, my wife makes fun of me because I do not ask questions. "Just get it done doc" I say :) Those two procedures were the same ones that I had. I remember reading them on the forms I signed right before surgery. This morning is the first morning I woke up without having to...

Not yet, I hope I don't. I can smell better though. Of course this is not always a good thing as I have a 2 year old in diapers :D

I've had the splints out for 6 hours now and I feel like a new person. I have never breathed through my nose like this before. If anyone has trouble breathing through their nose I highly recommend getting an appointment with an ear, nose, and throat doctor and get it fixed. Assuming you have...

Surgery wasn't bad, I was knocked out for the whole thing. I went in at 10am and was out by 1pm. I do however have two splints (hard tubes) up my nose and a stitch going between my nostrils. It kinda hurts but nothing major. Thankfully they come out tomorrow morning. The last 5 days have sucked...

I had surgery on my nose on Friday (Deviated Septum) and I have not had a beer since. I still have 5 days left on my antibiotics. 10 days without a beer. I'm 35 and I cannot remember a time since I was a teen that I haven't had a beer. What's weird is I've been on antibiotics before and I don't...

Thanks! I went ahead and ordered it and an immersion chiller. Now I have everything I'll ever need. For at least a week :rockin:

Any particular one you recommend? How about this one? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FBL2G0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
