I guess, I can always move the manifold and ball valve to a larger cooler if we are not hitting target OG's I guess, lol. appreciate the feed back, everyone. The SS braid will effectively only be less than an inch long, as the nipple and ball valve will be close together. I am hopeing that the...

Well I hope this makes sense.... We usually brew high gravity beers and we wanted to jump up to brewing 10 gallon batches. queue this 70qt coleman extreme i scored from academy sports. I am thinking about running a nipple out of the T heading toward the ball valve to be installed and I will...

check the beer advocate forums for traders they are pretty active! I wish i could get a bottle as well...

i just got a solid copper reverse flow wort chiller ( copper pipe inside of copper pipe, coiled) and i'm not looking back!! this thing takes in boiling hot wort and dispenses 80 degree wort with a quickness. I can drain my boil kettle in 6-8 mins.. almost just like this one...

Thank god at least there is one less person drinking up my beer!!

Yeast flakes, is that like corn flakes?

I sanitize my oak chips or spirals in water. I place them in a dish and boil them in the microwave then into the beer they go. I like the essence the water extracts during the boil - is the reason i pitch both. I age to taste and rack off of them when ready.

you cant backsweeten with fermentable sugars or you are going to over carbonate, because those sugars reactivate the yeast in the bottle. you will be hard pressed to get a sparkling sweet cider out of the bottle. this is easier done in kegs. good luck though.

nice score man! people pay like 150$ for that starter kit these days. i don't think the vintage beer will be any good after years in a FL Attic. But you can get new seals and reuse the bottles!!

chuck, we live in the same city, don't infect our water supply!! and for the love all that is holy don't bring any of that to the next kask meeting!!

omg, kill it with fire!!

As long as you don't under pitch your yeast you shouldn't get any off flavors from vigorous fermentation.

After drinking a case and a half so far i am still baffled as to what they put in here! mmmmmmm sooo tasty!! Can't wait to refill all these bottles with homebrew and then gift them to some one, they will think they are getting pumking! haha :D

neat!

What ever, America needs to find another form of entertainment other than dissing on other communities in the eye of the public. There's no excuse for poor taste and indifference.

maybe that was the point - lol.

HAHA yea i did just see this on intuitions facebook page!! you beat me to the punch, i wanted to share it!! lol. Hilarious i think. Everyone knows there are bad brewers, they exsist :P "This one should be ready in 2 mins" HAHAHA!! epic.

i bet he hates the butter sauce on the popcorn at AMC theaters too :P

it will carbonate, just let it sit out of the fridge for the next week and a half then open one to test the carb levels. Chilling off yeast cells just puts them to sleep. you have to heat (pasteurize) them up to kill them.

"Water weight is not identical to beer weight. It might be splitting hairs, but it's better to be accurate than sloppy." the water weight was an example. you have to do your own weighing - also this is beer making not rocket fuel, but to each his own. "MZRIS, you need to account for the keg...
