No I have not revisited that ingredient. I remember that you only needed a small amount and it tasted better than molasses. It has been a while since I brewed.

Don’t know who invented garbage disposals, but they were an idiot. Won’t ever own one after my last house and the smell. Don’t use them and they are great!

Edit after looking at pics closer- That’s not milled correctly.

If you have to open your ferm vessel to check gravity and expose it to oxygen, then don’t do it. Let it ride. Wait until packaging. What it finishes at is what it finishes at. Don’t sweat it. Now, if you have a sampling valve, check away. But since you state wine thief, don’t check. Be patient...

That needs milled.

Put a thick sock over the bent carboy brush. Presoak in hot water. Scrub gently. Works like a charm.

It sure looks good!

The Hydra. As Shetc says, they work. While my water temps are not that high as yours, in the summer I chill to about 90-100 and then add ice to my slop sink. Use a sump pump and get to 65 in a few minutes.

Agreed. Not all of us utilize pumps. TC solve that, but I still passed due to $$$. Try to PBW and open/close valve during draining.

Smoked these beef ribs last Saturday. Meat just melted

Just curious. Has anyone ever used their pizza dough recipe to make a Stromboli? Basically the same thing?

I had the same question for the same reasons as you. For my chest freezer the fit was just too tight and I swear I saw somewhere that you shouldn’t lift it with the handles if it was full. I could be wrong about that. I decided against it.

If you are looking for a big mouth feel, up the oats to 1/2 lb. and maybe toast them. Google Moose Drool for a great American Brown that would work great with pumpkin IMO. I have tweaked that recipe many times and it is good with English yeasts and med and dark British crystals. I use MO all of...

Thanks everyone. It's nice to know people care.

I said good bye to my black lab Carllie last week. She is now spending time with her yellow sister Callie.(first pic) I hope they found each other. That's two dogs I have lost in the last 18 months. Both lived to almost 15 years. Tough time right now. Lucky I have two young ones to make me...
