    First Thread/Dumb Threads

    Three Burner Stand - Worth It?

    http://greenbay.craigslist.org/spo/2455143656.html I found this on craigstlist and am trying to decide if it's worth it. A couple pots, some valves and a few pumps and I'm brutus. I don't see why it wouldn't support enough for 5 gallon batches, maybe even 10. The things I'm worried about...

    Self Sealing Hex Screws

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a solution for grounding my heating element. I figure a stainless steel bold, some washers, and seals would work. But than I found these (http://www.mcmaster.com/#cap-screws/=7v4osb) McMaster-Carr self sealing screws. Anyone have any experience with these?

    Electric Element Leaking

    Hey guys, I'm just about to finish my build of my electric rig. But, one of my heating elements keeps leaking. It's not a lot, maybe a drop every 3-4 minutes, but it's still water, and it's still electricity. Anyone know of anything that I can use to block this up? My pots are aluminum, so...

    Not so "Great Stuff"???

    So last night I decided to fill the lid of my Gott cooler MLT with "Great Stuff". I left it for a few hours to let it expand and broke away any excess on both sides of the hole. I check it out today and it had leaked more and there was a small amount still stuck to the bottom. Any way to...

    Favorite Part of The Beer

    I love getting to the last two swigs of my glass and watching the little swirl of yeast remaining at the bottom, it's rewarding and hypnotic, who's with me! What's your favorite part of the beer drinking process? The pour is great too, and of course theres the :cross: feeling.

    High Gravity Brewing (The Store)

    Hey guys, I recently ordered the weldless heating element kits from High Gravity Homebrew Supplies (http://www.highgravitybrew.com/). And I was bummed out as I'm collecting T-shirts from each place I'm purchasing parts from to build my new setup, and they didn't have any. I placed my order...

    Hoping Priming Wort

    I've been looking for different ways to carbonate my beer lately, and I read about priming with wort, sounds cool I'll give it a go. But I was thinking, could I dry hop or hop back the priming wort to be a final hop addition at bottling?

    Dark Ale Help

    Hey Guys, I've been working on perfecting a dark ale recipe. Last time I brewed I used 2 ounces of hops. One of Glacier and one of Cascade. I'm brewing it again tomorrow and I purchased 4 ounces this time, 2 Glacier and 2 Cascade. Do you think that would over kill pushing it a dark IPA...

    Skullsplitter

    There is the beer critiquing section and the review section, but I don't think this thread fits under either. So I bought a four pack of this tonight, $12 later. This beer tastes like a cats cinnamon hole and there's soooo much crap in the bottom of the bottle, easily a half inch. So, did I...

    WTF Did I Make?!

    So I wasn't to certain on what category this would fall under considering it's not really a beer but uses the ingrediants, not a wine but isn't carbonated, and not a mead because there is no honey. I'm sure this has been posted but searching returned no result so here it is. 1 pound Ale...
