    Northern Brewer and ship times

    I have used NB a # of times and my shipments have always arrived in the stated window. That being said my personal belief is that all in stock orders should ship out the next business day. The price determines the speed of the delivery companies service level not the speed of the warehouse. In...

    Loose lid and time in primary

    Beer will be fine. You can leave it in there until you're ready to bottle/ keg if you want. If you leave it in there until final gravity is reached you can seal the lid all the way but be sure fg is reached by using hydrometer before sealing it.

    SS Brew Bucket or 7gal Chronicle

    I have an old chest freezer that I plugged into a temp controller. That's the other reason I choose the bucket, it fits in the freezer but the chronicle is too tall so I would've had to build a collar to make the freezer deeper. So I can use my freezer to control fermentation temps or I can use...

    SS Brew Bucket or 7gal Chronicle

    I got this one from more beer http://www.morebeer.com/products/homebrew-draft-system-pin-lock-keg.html Being able to transfer from ferment vessel to keg using the racking arm/ ball valve was awesome. So easy and so much faster than bottling.

    SS Brew Bucket or 7gal Chronicle

    I did end up getting the SS Brew Bucket so that I could also afford a kegging system. I've only used it once but it worked well and being able to keg was awesome.

    Automatic beer bottling system DIY

    You should check o2 from bottling single bottle direct from bottling bucket then compare to o2 from your method to see if end result is better or worse than the traditional method

    SS Brew Bucket or 7gal Chronicle

    Trying to decide between the SS bucket and kegging system or 7 gal chronicle. I would get kegging system eventually anyway but it might be awhile. Also wondering if anyone that has bought the SS bucket regretted not getting the Chronicle instead.

    Good beer bars in Las Vegas

    IIRC Todd English P.U.B had a pretty good selection. A little pricey but not bad. It's located @ The City Center Shops which is somewhere around The Aria I think. I just looked it up, It's the Shops at Crystals

    BIAB - Amount of Water.....

    Thats good to know. I do traditional all grain brews but someday might try BIAB and was wondering about the bag squeezing/tannin thing

    BIAB - Amount of Water.....

    Never done a BIAB but I know that youd boil without the lid. The boiling drives off unwanted compounds such as DMS and if you leave the lid on the compounds go back into the wort. I've also read that you should be carefull when squeezing the grain bag so you don't extract tannins. Can really...

    Why Boil?

    I realize you talking extract but when using grains boiling also drives off unwanted compounds such as DMS.

    Is 68/70 degrees too warm for primary fermentation?

    Try brewing one batch at 68 to 70 on your stick on thermometer and then brew the same recipe again at low 60's and see which you like better. Or if you have the fermenters split one batch into 2 fermenters and keep them at different temps. Then you can decide for yourself if it's worth the...

    Best Way to Store Bottles

    I usually store them upside down in six or twelve pack cases. If I use the oven to sterilize I will put tin foil on the top, bake them according to "How to Brew" and then store them upright.
