Played a bunch in HS, and on and off afterwards. Tend toward table top games vs rpgs, due to time constraints.... Just started running a game for my kids, 6/8/8/14. They are a party! We started with a game called "Hero Kids" but it was dragging on since dad didn't absorb the rules right...

If you don't have the $150 to pick up your own crusher, it might just be a case that the LHBS does not know they are out of whack. Ask them to check the gap before you purchase grain next time. If they can't or won't, then you'll have to start looking for free shipping, but a good store would...

Nope. Other than wet grains are heavy, and I still have that eye-bolt on there, and not a pulley. But it works like a champ. I should make a video or something, but I've been woking on the house and kids and life, etc.

Plenty of comments about how your numbers are not at all that far off and tasty beer and all that. As for cloudyness however, do not associate cloudy wort with cloudy beer. Dump it all in, it will settle in the fermenter. Whirlfloc is fine to add, but not necessary.

You can get a quality powderhorn for about $25. Should be waterproof for as long as you need it to be. I mean, if you're brave enough. ;)

Just saw a post in the beginners section regarding Norther Brewers and Midwest Brewers new fermenter, the Big Mouth Bubbler. A bit of research shows that the lids of these are not fitting properly and may actually be putting too much pressure on the glass ones and causing breakage. Looking...

Bit late to the party, but if you BIAB, you won't get a great crush at your Local store, so you almost need your own. But it's built in as part of the deal. Instead of the cost of a burner/HLT and Mash tun, I spent on a crusher. About the same price, but the "savings" are in time and...

How are you coming by so much dried corn kernels where you cannot just obtain them already made into corn meal? Google showing 50lbs of cornmeal at about $15. I'm sure it's a pia to ship, but there's got to be sources near you. Do you grow corn? Does corn for baking stale like malted...

So yeah. Works and everything. Where the pulley is (or o-ring as I have now) pulls out and is three boards. The two side boards have a dowel in the end of them, and the cross bar has holes that line up. First pic shows it down, going to make a cover for it like my grill. Second pic shows...

As with any brew or hobby equipment I have, it will never truly be finished, but yes, It's in working order. I've made a couple batches on it, needs more shelving on the left side, but it's up and functional. Loving it. I'll try and get a pic up by this weekend. We've got stuff stored in the...

My concern was more about the stress from the side loosening the hooks in the wood, not about the metal failing. I don't think I was clear in my post, and perhaps even if I was, it's probably not a significant concern. But with it being over the stove, subject to steam, it seemed something to...

There is a whole sub-forum that would like to differ with you on this. BIAB is just a different process for separating grains from wort. Results would be similar.

Not to be that guy... but I'm concerned that you are putting stresses on the sides of your eye screws, where they are made to support loads in (this case) the down direction. I think you would be better served puttin another bolt directly above where you want your bag, or hanging a bar or...

He was asking for opinions. I gave him one. Justfied! I offered up a possibility and planted the seed that he might want to consider a mill. I brew in a 7.5 gallon pot and have no problems obtaining 5 -1/2 gallons in my fermentor. Especially with BIAB, since we tend to mill finer than...

I"m going to go a bit against the grain a bit, and suggest that you can pick up a 7.5 or 8 gallon turkey fryer kit for about $50 (AL pot) and do a 5.5 gallon in-the-fermenter BIAB batch just fine. You will need to watch your wort level closely and might have to hold out a 1/2 gallon in boiled...

Ha. Ya, ya. but when I see the 'Y' my head goes to to the spice rack. Maybe I'm the only one, but with misspelled words, the hook isn't obvious to me why it would not be TIME. Also, to be clear, I'm not criticizing, just asking. :) The important part, the graphics, look great.

What's the connection with TYME? Rather than Storytime Brewing? Are all your beers specially spiced? Logos look nice. Graphics have a cohesive look which is hard to do sometimes.

I think it depends on what artist you choose. I've browsed fiver, and there are definitely different art styles to the various artists. I'm guessing the trick is finding the one who has examples that fit your style. Anyways, sorry it didn't work out. Also, even if you're not creative, or...

Check out the Label Forum down below. There are lots of guys who are decent with graphics that could help, especially if you have a draft of what you want. Otherwise, lots of people have had success with the artists on fiver.com (I think that's the site) Inexpensive for sure.

Fun experiment. I hope it works out, and hope you keep us posted either way!
