The intention of the flameout hops is aroma and a small amount of flavor. Both of those are diminishing the longer they are in hot wort. Your plate chiller will save more flavor and aroma than an immersion chiller. If you really want to seal in a large amount of aroma and flavor that you are...

Yes, it's called mushroom board. I got it from a local place here in Philadelphia. Thanks.

I built this about a year ago based on a lot of inspiration from this forum. I know it's been along time to see these pictures but hey, better late than never.

now I am just dying to hear the results, 10 pages and no payoff!

I think the point is that the ABV is based on the difference btwn the high gravity reading and low gravity reading. But since he doesn't truly know the high b/c of the extra sugar from the fruit his OG isn't accurate.

I like Black IPA, I don't want to be limited to using NW hops. Sometimes I feel a little more noble.

Just an FYI from the hopville blog from the same day as the last update to this topic. http://hopville.wordpress.com/2009/12/09/defaulting-to-tinseth/ Now you can use hopville and modify the ibu calculation formula. Seems to be pretty nice, you guys should take a second look.

I second what JDennis said. If you can take the racking tube (smaller tube) completely out and then pour water in the larger tube and it all runs right out (really fast not gradually pouring out around the little plastic tab), you are missing the little plastic piece that makes it an...

Grand Cru is not a style. It is simply a wine term moved over to the beer world. With beer it is usually what a brewery considers to be their best offering. As a test, try Blue Moon Grand Cru, and Rodenbach Grand Cru back to back.

great, looks live a valve it is. Thanks for the help guys.

Storage might be a problem, but the only thing I use the pot is for brewing. It's only a 5 gallon pot I'm only doing extract brews. I guess a weldless option is best so I can move it to another pot if I get one?

I just got a new counterflow chiller for christmas, and now I need either a kettle valve or a metal racking cane. I know the racking cane is much cheaper, and I don't mind the extra effort of siphoning, but I just wanted the thoughts of the people with more experience.

Barry's Homebrew Outlet. He's at 2nd and Snyder in Philly. Really helpful guy, he really knows his stuff.

Thanks for all your help, I emailed the place near me and they are gonna meet me just so I can buy caps. Talk about customer service! Another reason to support my LHBS.

I wanted to bottle a batch of beer tonight, but I don't have enough caps. All the local homebrew places are closed on mondays. Is there any place I can buy caps aside from a homebrew place? I really wanted to do this tonight. Thanks

would you guys think it's possible to have a small chest freezer set up almost like a jockey box, with cooling coils in water or something, and just set the kegs behind it? Would the beer go bad faster? I mean I leave beer in bottles for months, is this different? I assume his conditioning box...

I am about to make a kegerator, and am stuck between a small chest freezer, or a sanyo. I want to get the smallest chest freezer possible. What is this magic?? can we at least have a hint ;)

Hi all, long time reader here but this is my first post. I am in the planning stages of kegerator similar to pub phun http://www.alenuts.com/pub.htm . Just wanted some opinions on something. When he built that, he has a 1 inch area aroun the freezer to allow for ventialton along with a...
