In for an entry!!

Thanks for the head up - seems it might just be cheaper to try the Pliney the elder kit vs doing a swap. - Nevertheless I am saving 2 hopslams, and I also have access to zombie and gumball head.

Looking to do a 2 12oz bottle swap - let me know if interested.

This is the reason i always keep some carb drops on hand... Good in a pinch if you have to bottle a few bombers.

I bought caps for twistys. I use a bench capper and have not had a problem yet. I use twistys for my give aways that i would most likley get the bottle back.

Google bottle waxing, you should find an article where a guy used crayons and glue sticks. I don't remember ratios off the top of my head, but i tried it and it worked great

I hate bottling. I keg 3 out of every 4 beers. I leave bottling for the beers that need to mature, but i generally go from boil to drinking from keg in about 3 weeks. Mostly ipas here, cheers.

I fill the pot with luke warm water. Toss the grains in, in a bag of course. Bring up to 155/160 put the lid on and wrap it in a towel to keep temp (flame out). At this time i go fire the banjo burner outside and my 5 gallons are at boil in 30 min. I then add the extract from steeping...

I am a lazy brewer..... I just sprinkle it on dry and it works everytime

I'm up here nwi area. Haven't met too many local brewers, but would like to do local meet n swap.

I ordered 6 different color caps, just keep a rotation and have not crossed over since i keg every other batch

This is how i started, beer brewing is addictive and fun. Good deal here

You might be traveling to F. Wayne or Indy to pick up some 3F's Brew - their website has locations where it sells their products http://www.3floyds.com/location/

Everyone has their fav keg place.. Mine is homebrewing.org Best tank prices i found... Also in MI so shipping will be good for you

Just caught a few videos on it - seems that it is twist cap - I would think that a "PREMIUM" Bud Light would at least have some class with a pop off top

+1k on wort chiller... I used to do the ice baths (messy, pita, time consuming, and loud (do most of my brewing at night while the kiddies are sleeping)) Went from, cooling 3 gal from 25 min to literally 5 min at the most

Back in the day i used safeale05 with swamp cooler... Fermented at about 75 without any ill effects

i use dish washer on high heat and heat dry (no detergent!). This should get all the unseen nasties... but you still need to have star-san contact on the inside of that bottle for good sanitation. Dont forget to soak your bottle caps as well

Just take good care of, your turn around on that used equipment should bring you most if not all your money... I love brewing and I stictly keg.... LOVE IT. I hopped into kegging before all grain. I am mostly satisfied with partial mash and extract brewing.
