Has anyone come up with an equipment profile for the Sabco Nano-magic? I have the opportunity to begin to use one and would like to create a profile on my beersmith for it. Thanks in advance.

True, i hadnt thought of that, thanks Gstrawn.

I did the same thing as well on a scotch ale, mashed way to high on accident, started with a OG of 1.084, and it died in the fermenter at 1.040...not really sure what to do with it now.

I agree with using pilsner for a saison, as well as putting some orange peel in. im also thinking about trying some rosehips in my next saison to see what happens with that.

Welcome to the forums from across the Detroit River, i like the above still bottle, so not much help with the kegging either.

mlyday is right, i've made some fantastic extract beer before making the jump to all grain, and hell i still make extract beers when i know i dont have all day and just wanna whip something up quick.

welcome Mechanical and Mchigone Michigone...be sure to check out Adventures In Homebrewing, they have stores in Ann Arbor and Taylor, very very good local homebrew store!

Like one of the posts above me, Adventures In Homebrewing has a great pot for $79. Two welding ports for valve and thermometer. It has served me well. www.homebrewing.org they are a great group of people.

No, it's in Taylor. Rays Prime Meats on Eureka Rd.

Thanks for the input, yea, its been a while since i've had the Shiner, but i remember enjoying it. and my wife loves it, thus the reason for attempting this recipe. I did do some research on the nuts, looks like roasting them a few days early and a couple of times and letting them dry out on...

haha, gotta love the down river guys. i head downriver a lot to go to a butcher. as well as go to adventures in homebrewing. great HBS if you've never been there.
