I buy beer from a local brewery in growlers all the time. They’ll often do small batches that are only available in growlers. I usually get three filled and sometimes one or two will sit in the fridge for almost 2 weeks. I find they’ll last that long as long as I don’t open...

Welcom from Templeton!

They don't let me brew at work, that's the real problem.

Naked cats, now that's aggressive. Or is it offensive? Or do you find it titillating? Back off freak!!! Stay away from my cat!

Does that 5th pic have a dead cat in it?

+4 = 13,277 Added 1 can of cranberry juce concentrate. Hope it works out.

I've been using DME since the beginning of the year and I can't say I noticed a difference between that and corn sugar. It doesn’t seem like it takes any longer or has any better head retention or smoother or anything like that. If it ever stops raining I’m planning to make 2...

After doing my usual amount of research which is looking at a few pictures, I built myself a manifold from copper pipes and fittings. It looked pretty cool to me, but after I posted it here I was educated on the concept of path of least resistance. Not a new concept to me, not even regarding...

I like the idea of the flexable hose. I'll look into that one. I’m tempted to cut the slots in and try it. My concern is if I do then I can’t reuse the pipe for the next design. What do you folks think if this? The drain on my cooler is pretty low so I can’t get any pipes under it...

+ 5 Irish Stout = 13,811

I think I see what you mean. I'll have to think it through to see how I can fix it.

After I started using beersmith I found out I'm only getting 58% efficiency. I was a little disappointed so I decided to upgrade my setup starting with my MLT. I cut the pieces for the manifold but this being my first one I didn’t know if I should solider it together or not. If I don’t it’s...

I use my marked fermenting buckets and hydrometer to measure and mix saltwater for my marine aquarium. My brew pot and burner also cooks lobster. I can get 6 or 7 cooked at once. I use the bucket of my wet /dry vac to put ice water for my IC and pump it through a hose pump attachment...

I've done 15lbs in my 48 qt with a lot of room to spare. I was going to try a 10 gal batch this weekend with a 26lb grain bill. At 1.25 qt per lb I think I should be able to handle it. It's going to be a long slow sparge though.
