786.5 + 5 Dry Irish Stout + 5 Bouron Barrel Old Ale =796.5

I am in for sure thanks!

I am new to the forum as well and all I can say (minus relax:p) is everything you don't know is here on homebrewtalk.com

Agree...would say no all good. Do you secondary in a carboy? I only ask because I had a couple "possible" problems. One cleared right up in secondary...they other was obvious after a few days. BTW Sanibel is our vacation spot from Naples but one heck of a week of rain in the sunshine state...

I would have to say nice job jmprdood! Will share your post with a buddy that sold all of his gear because he moved into a condo in Miami...you will certainly inspire him to kick himself! Cheers no haters.

I am with you there for sure. I have several buckets and several carboys. I have found that I will always use the buckets first if they are available and last resort to a carboy. Second I normally use better bottles for secondary as they are lighter/easier to clean after secondary than primary...

+1 on No Wiki flourocarbon or "canned air" Since gas dusters are one of the many inhalants that can be easily abused many manufacturers have added a bittering agent to deter people from inhaling the product. Because of the generic name "canned air", some people mistakenly believe that the...
