Any link on eBay to a flowmeter that would work with the disposable welding tanks? Can't seem to find one that fits although some have claimed it's easy to find for cheap on eBay. Help!

+1 on everything above!

I need a carboy cleaner because getting a new carboy for every batch is starting to negatively impact my retirement savings :P

The chunks are normal especially with highly flocculent yeast. The film is what I would worry about more...

I owned a 5-gallon and it served me well for 10 batches or so at OGs below 1.060. You can't really do a mash out or add boiling water if you're too low with your mash temp because you are runnung it close to full capacity. I own a 10G now and I have no problem keeping the mash temp steady with...

One thing I learned: your LHBS is an expert at selling homebrew stuff, not brewing beer. Unless the guy has won competitions, you better trust good books, brewing experts and advices from friends who make good beer (taste it...), etc.

Count me in!

I'd love a code too. I need a false bottom for a round 10-gallon Gott cooler. Is 12 in ok?

I would mash them and do a protein rest for the bugs.

My wife is a big fan of my beers and craft beer in general but she lets me brew. She is a freaking good gardener though and she takes care of my hops. We go to brewpubs together and attend beer fests together and share tasting discussions.

No worries. Happened to me a lot before I eventually switch to blow off tubes for peace of mind. If it spilled outside, that means you have positive pressure from the inside, so that much lessens the chance of something nasty getting in. And anyway, by now fermentation is very active so risk of...

324. I broke one last winter.

I think it fits. Fruity notes and toasted flavor that will remind pie crust :D

I have never heard of someone starting kegging and give up to return to bottling... So I think you're pretty safe... The key to success is to balance your system and learn to use it. But it's not rocket science. I started with 2 kegs and I now have 10 kegs and I serve 4 concurrently. I think 4...

If you have access to liquid yeast I would make a starter with a very clean and not estery yeast like WLP001 and ferment it at room temp with that (healthy yeast will ferment more neutral). That is what is closest to lager in taste. Give it time and the yeast will clear and give neutral taste...

I did it in 9 days but force carbonated. I think you're screwed with bottles but you can prove me wrong. If you want 3 days fermentation, I would suggest you pitch lots of healthy yeast and aerate the wort thoroughly at the very least. Good luck.

I only had problems once: witbier recipe with half the grain bill unmalted. Milling the grains starts to degrade the conversion enzymes so with those kind of recipes where you have to rely on precious enzymes to convert the unmalted portion, you might want to use it quickly or have trouble with...

Just don't try to bring it with you on an airplane ;)

Yeah I have a .5 micron. It looks solid but it isn't. Remember .5 micron is freaking small...
