Agreed. I've have also re-milled older grain and did a BIAB session and it turned pretty good. Certainly not my best effort but it was drinkable.

That would be awesome! The only time I really get to lurk is while I'm at work and they have all social media sites, face book, twitter, even YouTube, are blocked. I feel for you in dealing with City Hall. Last year there was an attempt here to allow beer and wine tastings at a few...

Congrats on your success so far. I enjoy following up and coming breweries. Post some pics of your builds and progress. That way we can live vicariously thru your experiences!!! I'd be happy to provide QC for that Porter:mug:

COMMABEER, I'm sorry if I missed something, is this regarding the color of your fermenting beer??

Duct tape!! Seriously, sweat on a hose connector and it will last you a life time.

Jamming, I would'nt start to worry just yet. Keep in mind that there is quit a bit of Co2 still in solution after fermentation has completed. If you "dumped" your trub using the lower valve on your conical it's likely that you just roused it up a bit. Keep an eye on it for a bit and see if it...

Great question!!! I was fix'n to ask the same thing.. What's the life span on the filters? $5-$6 bucks aint that much but no need to waste if you can help it.

Centennial starting to sprout!!!:rockin: Now I'm just waiting on my Fuggle and centennials to take off....

Man-O-Man that seems to be a seriously controversial topic around here! Search aluminum vs. stainless (which is better?) and you’ll find several threads about that. It really comes down to personal preference. That's like asking glass vs. plastic????

I inherited an 8 gallon turkey fryer pot that was used for several years. I took some simple green and warm water soak overnight, scrubbed the h*** out of it making sure all the grease residue was gone. Filled with water and boiled for 90 minutes to cure it and I’ve had on problems with...
