I used a paint bucket...so long as you go slow it shouldn't kink. If it does just use some plyers to pinch in out.

Russian river has released pliny the younger...so my superbowl is in their brew pub with a couple of those. Cheers gentlemen, football never felt so good.

Ill put some hot boil water into the cans and shake it around some before pouring it back in...mostly I used dme though

Stay awake...glad this doesn't just happen to me.

Patience pays off

Couldn't agree more. For people without a battle hardend pallet, pairings can make subtle flavors obvious.

While not necessary, a good beer/food match ups are amazing. Spicy/greasy food with ipas, sours with balsamic salad dressings, stouts and cheesecake, oh man... Don't get me wrong, I love beer and food alone, but when they compliment eachother...bliss.

I always sanitize both posts and both disconnects, just because its easy and I figure why not. My disconnects have the threaded flares so its easy to take them off, dissemble, and sanitize.

How long was it fermenting before you bottled? That you be your answer...some people cold crash or use irish moss to make their beers clearer, but letting it sit long enough in fermentation will do wonders, for flavor and clarity.

The a whole sticky on the this vs that topic of fermenter (and other things) in the begining homebrewing section...really good analysis of pros/cons

I recommend using real fruit if possible. I used an apricut extract with a nut brown, and even after cutting the recommended dose in half it carried a very unnatural flavor into the beer.

+1 to using craigslist. i bought a kegerator and probably spent more than i should have. definately craigslist the minifridge to convert(youll find all the instructions/best types to use on here). you might find the other stuff there too (co2 tanks), and then youll have to decide how much...

I've found whole cone hops to be less robust and less bittering as their equivilent weight in pellets.

Are you using a bottling wand? Cheap investment that makes things a whole lot easier.

this. And how would it be a realistic first date? You know eachother...the hard parts already done. The survey is weird...maybe if your roommate relaxed, his/her odds would pick up.

+1 this probably isnt the best place to check your intake standards if youre looking for a health guideline. we do have more fun though.

looks good...will the pvc leach any nasties though?

using a hydrometer he could do something like evaluating how much yeast will eat at different temperatures...or the the affects of different sugar amounts on final gravity. or you can just make two ipas with different hops and analyze that:mug:

i wouldnt worry too much as long as everythings been sanitized, my beers survived worse. dont worry about letting it settle too much, after all you are using the secondary to drop everything out again and let it clear before bottling and kegging. the risk of oxidation is there, but it probably...

I don't like cleaning carboys but other than that its fine.
