    Share Your Eclipse Experience (and beer)

    My house (near St. Louis) will be at 98%. Good enough for me as I saw the totality in 2017. My son tried to get south of St. Louis for totality but the traffic was so backed up heading south on I-55 they turned around and went to a brewery that will be at 99% for their "Kinda Shady Eclipse...

    Don't Do That.

    I do that but I only brew 8-9 times a year, so the first time I notice they're open, I close them.

    Don't Do That.

    I've started closing the valve after cleaning. I no longer wait until I'm ready to brew.

    Counterpressure bottle filler....I know.

    Is there supposed to be an oring between the stem that goes into the faucet and the main body? I was using mine today and it was leaking a bit around the threads. If there is one, I've already lost it.

    Counterpressure bottle filler....I know.

    I got a Tapcooler for my birthday earlier this month. I used it on Tuesday and it worked very well. I only filled one bottle and I need a bit more practice with it.

    Don't Do That.

    My RO system feeds right into my HLT with a float valve to shut it off so I can walk away from it. It also helps if one remembers to shut the valve on the HLT. I didn't. A couple of gallons of water on the floor. Don't do that! (Unfortunately, this is not the first time I've done that.)

    O-ring Question.

    I've used them also. Although I tend to buy too many. Do a search on their website for S70013. I've used these and they work fine.

    What would you do? Keg transfer help.

    What would I do? Borrow a tank from a friend.

    Mash paddle decision

    Here's my mash paddle. Made out of cherry. I was afraid I made the handle too narrow, but it's 12 years old so I guess I'm okay. This one came from half the board so I could make another.

    What is "Alt" beer

    The article says they Röstmalz which is roasted malt. That's mostly where the color comes from. How do you "fail to see how"?

    Dough In- Devices and techniques?

    I started underletting last year but I still get doughballs. Maybe I need to slow it down.
