    How does BMC brew beer that has no flavor?

    Lol. I can hear it now "But, but shocktop and blue moon are both in my regular rotation."

    New Vendor....Stuck Sparges

    I have started using a bag ment for brew-in-a - bag to line my 5 gal cooler mash tun and if I start to get slow runnings I just lift the bag a little and it all runs smoothly again.

    Grain mill for all grain

    So is a corona mill. And tons of home brewers use those with great results myself included. It all depends on how adjustable it is.

    any railroad conductors here?

    When they say you marry the railroad when you join they mean it. Say goodbye to your social life. Welcome to no holidays, no days off, just sit by your phone and wait. It is a terrible job but the pay and benefits are decent. Retirement is great. There is a reason many railroaders are divorced...

    Apple pie turned cider

    I did this once with blueberry pie by accident ( got done bottling some wine, had a few to many and used the same equipment to bottle the pie) woke up to corks flying across the living room. Had to uncork them and placed tin foil on top. I let them ferment out and they were absolutely delicious...

    Stopper pops out of carboy

    Tape. Either duct or electrical. One piece over the edge of the stopper and another around the neck of the carboy to hold down the first piece of tape.

    Northern Brewer bucket

    [N="Sheldon;5354331"]Those openers W llllare available at HD type stores and go by the secret name of "paint bucket opener" and are cheaper. They work quite well. I have also read that the bucket does not have to be snapped on/sealed and no nasties will get in due to the co2 being off gassed...

    Chest Freezer Specs and Layouts

    I have a 10" collar with no miter cuts on it. Just screwed the corners together and ran silicone caulk over the joints. It may not look as fancy as some I've seen on here but it sits in my living room and nobody has ever said it looks terrible and it does a wonderful job.

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    My understanding is that krausening is adding wort to prime as priming is adding any sugar to prime. Not a big difference but us brewers seem to like using our own language to differentiate the processes and equipment we use.

    Peace Coffee stout porter blend?

    Peace coffee blend is just the brand name. Just add 4oz of your favorite coffee blend as the instructions say if you can't get peace coffee brand.

    Any issues with throwing used grain into the yard?

    Just make sure you spread it thin. If you leave a pile that's large enough to hold moisture it will begin to decompose and it smells like a dead body.

    How to seal larger bottle?

    I can't remember if the boulevard bottles have the small lip or the big rounded lip . If you have the small lip like a normal beer bottle just a wider opening you have to buy the larger crown caps and the bell that goes with them for your capper. If you have the big rounded lip the only way i...

    Apple Pie

    If you used sanitary practices there is no reason to refrigerate i bottle mine and set it on a shelf or on my wine rack with no problems. However i once made a blueberry pie and bottled directly after bottling a wine and i must not have sanitized my syphon as well as i should have because the...

    Basic Island Mist wine kit in a 6.5 primary?

    I just bottled this exact kit tonight. Fermented in a 6.5 gal bucket secondary in a 6 gal carboy. No problems what so ever. I would put a blow off tube on the bucket just to be safe though.

    NB Chocolate Milk Stout High Final Gravity

    I believe you did not mix well enough after topping off with water so when you took a sample for an OG it showed lower than it was. It is hard to not get the expected OG of an extract kit unless you used the wrong amount of water. I would just go by the expected OG of the kit, and your FG is...
