You should check and see if that type of food saver works for the mason jar attachment. 1 quart mason jars work well with a pound of hops and they are infinitely reusable

This is what I use. Found a big stainless steel mesh tea ball at the Asian market and I put a worm clamp on my diptube that's angled about 45 degrees. I just had to bend the edge of the ball to fit around the dip tube and it clamps into place nicely. http://i.imgur.com/AdBhT6Vh.jpg

I put a strip of electrical tape from the bottom of the kettle to the top and cut small notches in the tape with a box cutter after each added gallon Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

The difference in your experience and ours is that they only got your card number and expiration date if it happened at a POS machine. We had plenty more information stolen. They got our addresses, phone numbers, cc numbers, expiration dates, and security codes. They've got our home addresses...

Speculation by Midwest Supplies customers was discussed in a now closed thread about the possibility that the Midwest Supplies website was hacked and many customers had fraudulent charges against their account (myself included). Turns out, their website was hacked on 6/13 and was discovered on...

If you haven't read the entire thread and the people's stories about their individual cases of fraud, why are you the loudest voice to say that it's mere coincidence? Nobody has claimed that they have proven that its Midwest nor has anyone said that they want something in return for the company...

Not saying Midwest is the source but my card was also compromised and I had the information saved on the Midwest site. Started with a $1 charge for Star Wars The Old Republic online game and then two $39.99 charges from the same place. Then Meijer.com, shopatron.com and golfgalaxy.com. Golf...

A few routes you can take depending on how you want to go forward in this hobby. You can go 7.5-10 gallon and use it on your stove top with partial boils for the time being and leave that open for use in future endeavors in full boils, all grain, or BIAB. Or you can get a simple 5-6 gallon...

Carbing this up now. Came out great. Some of my BMC friends even enjoyed it. I'll definitely be making it again

I use home buckets lined with Reynolds Turkey bags. Perfect fit. Mine aren't crushed though

Can you describe the taste?

Has anyone experienced a slight sour taste on the front end of this? I brewed this two weeks ago yesterday, sat in primary for 8 days, cold crashed, kegged and carbed. Started tasting after about 11 days and there was a distinct sour taste to it. I haven't ever tasted a homebrew that young...
