Does payment include security? Company here has large lot across from building with security at the entrance and roving patrols. Yesterday, guy who works for me calls and said his two drivers side tires were stolen. Last week a car was stolen. Broad daylight. Go figure, you get what you pay...

My most memorable never again would be ouzo (sp?) Drank that and beer exclusively at my bachelor party. Ended up getting sick and passed out. Was up at 6 the next morning cooking omlets for everyone else. They woke to the smell and got sick themselves. It's been nearly 20 years and haven't...

Just popped open my first Brewers Best American Cream Ale. This is my first ever attempt and I only have one word. WOW! :ban: It's only been in the bottle for one week and tastes great. Lacking the carbonation, but hopefully it will come. I only have one regret. Only that I didn't put...

How about posting a couple of designs and having a poll to determine the best one? Count me in.

Looks like a nice place Dude. Best of luck. :mug:

Thanks for the info.

This weekend I will be bottleing my first batch of brew. :ban: Can someone tell me approximately how many 12 oz. bottles I will need? Thanks

It will have to store bought for now. I can RDWHAHB in a couple more weeks. :ban:

I was hoping this was the case, :ban: but worried just the same. Thanks.

On Saturday I racked to the secondary (glass carboy) after being in the primary for a week. Airlock activity has been zero since day three. Had a taste at transfer time and it tasted fine. I looked in on the brew on Sunday and there appeared to be a few small white patches on the top. Looked...

A couple of years ago, my son wanted me to sign up for fantasy football. It was late, and I was tired. I had to come up with a screen name and I was to tired to think, hence the name. As far as the avatar goes, I haven't figured out how to get one. I really haven't put much effort into...

Hi there. Newby question. When do you rack to the secondary? Automatically at 1 week? After 3 days of checking the gravity with no movement? On Saturday, I brewed a Brewers Best kit, American Cream Ale. I pitched the yeast at 77 degrees. In 3 hours, I had about 1 bubble a second. Now...

Well I got it down to 76 degrees and then pitched with two packs of Nottingham's which I re-hydrated. The airlock started activity within 3 hours, about 1 bubble per second. Woke up this morning and the bubbles slowed to about 1 every 10 seconds. I plan on racking to the secondary in one...

I have a question about cooling as well. Sticking the brew pot into an ice bath with the lid on, whats the best way to tell what the temp is? Take the lid off and stick in a thermometer every once in awhile? Wouldn't this risk comtamination?

I appreciate the info nick. This is my first brew and I have to many worries & concerns. :confused:
