So 6" is 1 gallon? I'd just use the rod to measure how deep the liquid is, then measure that. Every 6 inches is another gallon. Should be enough to estimate most quantities.

username: norwegiangeek goodluck with the new site!

I also just split a 5gal batch between two 5 gal kettles and I find it works out very well.

First off; I'm really not that concerned about this, I figured I'd just see if there was a general consensus out there. I'm actually kinda just bored at work and thinking about beer. I have two places that I can use to plant my first rhizomes. both of them get a pretty good amount of light...

I live about equal distance between there and NothernBrewer and I find that Midwest is slightly less expensive but I have the feeling that NB rotates through their grain a little more quickly. That might all be in my head though. Both stores are excellent IMHO and I think I'm pretty lucky to...

stedtale, what part of MN you from, and let me know if you end up with too many bottles. I could be persuaded to come give you a hand in exchange for some :D

Ok, so most all the RSS extensions I found just checked my google reader, which includes much more than just that specific RSS feed that I wanted to be notified of. One I did find that I like is called RSS Live Links (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/hcamnijgggppihioleoenjmlnakejdph)...

Hmm...I use the gmail checker extension...I wonder if there's an RSS extension that behaved the same way. Then I wouldn't even have to have my reader open.

That's mainly what's going on here, just without Thunderbird, and it's combining all the RSS feeds into one master feed. I also wanted something that I could check from anywhere. I'm on several computers at work each day and then at home I'm either on my desktop or my laptop or my wife's laptop...

I missed a 5gal corny keg this morning by like 10 minutes so I decided to find a way to search craigslist better. Here are 6 steps to automate your Craigslist Searches (or any search that provides a RSS feed for that matter). I tried to take a screenshot at each step so this will get pretty...

Probably a Summit EPA as I'm from MN and used to live near the brewery.

So I'm curious if there's any reason not to plant other plants in the same planter with some rhizomes. This will be my first year growing and I thinking of throwing some pumpkins or some peppers in the same planter. I'm assuming since the hops are growing vertically that they won't care much...

I didn't care for it at all, not really my style though. I got to try it at an outdoor beer tasting event last month...in MN.

I'm surprised the bottles would be #7. I mean, they're actually sold to hold liquid that you are expected to consume. How is it safe for drinking water, but not beer.

I've been using a copper manifold that is soldered into a circle with very small slits cut into it.
