Apparently TSP is no longer environmentally correct. Nobody around here sells it anymore. There is a substitute called TSP/90 that is a liquid. A 5 lb box of powder TSP would last me several months and cost about 9 bucks. This new liquid crap says a whole container will make 2.5 gallons of...

I recently made a lemon wheat that was really good (to me). Light and crisp. Got to thinking and came up with this. Showed the recipe to a AG EAC friend of mine and his comment was(with sarcasm dripping off the edges), "looks like a unique brew. Tell me how the last glass tastes."...

I'm on my second brew using whirfloc as a clearing agent. I drop it in in the last 15-20 minutes of the boil. It seems to me that it seriously increases the amount of trub in the beer. Also, when the krausen forms, it is very thick and doesn't completely drop, even after two weeks there is...

I'm looking for a thread I'm pretty sure I saw on here about converting a fridge to a kegerator. I particular was the information on taking the door apart, removing the trays and such and installing a piece of plywood or sheet metal thru which you mount the taps. My fridge is small and by...

I bought a new (to me) house last month. I had a gas line installed from the furnace to power the kitchen range. While doing so, I had the dude stub in a line so I can run a burner in the garage, instead of running a propane tank. Can any of you good people give me an idea of what kind of...

I Am getting ready to buy all new kitchen appliances. Anybody have any experience with LG products? I have the ability to buy them at wholesale prices and can save a substantial amount, but would rather buy quality than save money and buy problems. Any help here? Thanks
