1- There was wild yeast or bacteria in there that fermented it. 2- Dude, why?

I'm no expert but I am pretty sure this is one of those relax, don't worry, have a brew situations. I would guess that at worst a miniscule amount of plastics cooked off into your beer but in a ten gallon batch I really doubt you will taste it, and I'm pretty sure you could eat one of those chip...

I'm a professional sailor, we use shipping containers for all sorts of things. Work shops and shipping mainly, but you can stack them together in all sorts of different configurations and make some pretty cool "buildings" This team was from my hometown, to give you a little idea of what is...

25,367 No dextrose at the LHBS so 2 lbs of brown sugar it is. Wyeast nutrient and montrachet.

I read that to mean "She is a 2 (on a scale of 1-10,) that becomes a 4/10 after putting on your 10x beer goggles"

I'm a sailmaker, boatbuilder, and pro sailor. So I build all the stuff the engineers design, then I get to go out, break it, and tell them how they muffed everything up! I like my job(s).

I'm a professional offshore sailor. This is coming back from a race to Montego Bay a few years ago. With not much else on board but freezed dried and whatever we could pick up in Jamaica, this was probably the best mahi I have ever eaten.

That's pretty Gucci. Well done. My SWMBO would love it.

It might help if the collective genius here knew who made this mythical milkshake that you are trying to replicate. I can't believe I'm the first one to ask, because it sounds awesome.

Yes I do, on both counts.

That's about $9 less than I pay for a twelver of SN here in Rhode Island. I'm moving to AZ. But, I still buy all my bottles with beer in them!

A piece of string walked into a bar. The bartender said "Son, we don't serve your kind in here. Get'out!" The piece of string turned around, walked out, and never looked back. On that day, Frayed Knot Brewing was born. That is my story and I'm sticking to it.

Hey have you checked out Basement Brewhaus - Providence, Rhode Island up in Prov? Their hours kind of suck but I'm going to try to make it up there after Thanksgiving some time.

Hey whoa easy. I never called anything "junk." To each their own, I just happen to be intrigued by both the look and longevity of glass. And to be honest with you, I will probably spend a few hours a day just sitting and watching my beer brew. Can't do that in a plastic bucket.

Thanks 9Volt, but like I said, I'm not interested in cheap plastic kits. Also, I was driving by that hardware store in Chepachet once and stopped in. The kit they sell seems to be about one step above Mr Beer, and is in the aisle next to the home gardening equipment. Not exactly a Home Brew...
