Ok, we are brewing beer not launching objects into space... j/k :D That has to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life. You should send some pics off to a few magazines, someone WILL write an article about that thing. :rockin: Are you brewing beer with other means, or are you...

Sounds like your feelings are hurt... :)

The new beer line will be fine.

Lagunitas IPA is one of my favorites. IMO that is what an IPA should taste like.

I didn't mix it much. I had my siphoning tube at the bottom to reduce oxygenation and just let it fill from the fermenter. I was thinking it would be mixed enough as I had the tube at an angle and the beer was spinning in the bucket. Hopefully it is mixed thoroughly enough.

This kind of stuff makes me never want to try someone elses homebrew. I think I will stick to my own.......:confused:

Do you have a tower? If you do, is it properly chilled?

You may want to connect a blow off to that thing, but I have to say it does look good.

If it was an iodine based cleaner you must dump it for sure. Iodine is POISON and will kill you. Star San is safer, but I wouldn't want a gallon of it in my beer.
