I've read up to 3 days at room temp, longer if you put it in the fridge. I guess you can also pitch right out of the refrigerator with no problems (according to palmer)

I wish I had seen this yesterday. I just had my 3 piece blow off and kreusen oozing on the floor while my blowoff tube was sanitizing. Why do all my hobbies end up including high speed projectiles?

Don't think I'll be using food coloring. I'm not particularly anal about the color of my beers but I do usually have a specific goal with each recipe whether it's hop character, malt flavor, etc so I can get a feel for different ingredients. This time I really wanted to nail that beautiful...

I'm starting to notice this myself. It took a while, she's very good at changing the subject in subtle ways.

Same here, Ive only ever heard of the shot. (ok, I haven't just heard of it, I've had it a few times too.)

Love copper harbor, I have some wonderful fuzzy memories from 4th of july up there. You're probably the farthest north michigan brewer (unless i can sneak my carboy up to isle royal this summer)

I've been hearing that you should drink hefeweizens when they are young, but my question is what happens if I leave them in the bottle for another month or so? The reason I ask is there is a competition I want to enter over 4th of July weekend. I bottled this batch on 5/23 so it will be over a...

Cambro makes dissolving labels for restaurants. They wash off very easily with hot water. They're a bit expensive and probably overkill but it's another option. Dissolvable Food Labels (11-0782)

I don't have a kettle that can boil 5 gallons yet anyway so I'll just give it a shot with a half batch. If it doesn't work I won't have wasted too much $ and I'll just go get one of those boring plastic coolers.

depending on the airline they may charge $15-20 for the extra carry-on which is about what it would cost to get one shipped anyway. If you have to check it see if you can check it at the gate so it doesn't have to go through the regular baggage system. (I believe they give it back to you right...

It's definitely metal and it has some rust. AnOldUR did you make the liner or did it come like that? Any idea how old it is? (I'm trying to figure out what decade its from)

So anything but plastic/stainless is a no no? Oh well, not like I paid for it just thought it looked cool.

I recently procured this old corrugated tin igloo cooler and I want to use it for my MLT. The only thing I'm concerned about is that it has a painted metal lining with a small bit of corrosion. My question is can I still use this? Will there be any off flavors or worse, will it ruin the...
