Brilliant

Great info, thanks. Tried a couple programs, your post definitely helped make sense of them. Thanks again!

I know this has been covered before, but I couldn't find any good threads on this. How do you estimate an OG based on the ingredients of an extract recipe. 6Lbs of light dry malt extract 1Lbs Dark dry malt extract 2Lbs specialty grain (some kind of light crystal) Wyeast American Ale...

Hey, all those breweries just means the market is there. Good luck!

Hahaha, alright well you are clearly very passionate about plastics, and I am certainly not claiming to be an expert. Just expressing a potential concern that I am obviously not the first to have.

Revvy, This may be true of the particular brand you mentioned, but I have yet to see ratings at all on many of the plastic mash tuns people use. In particular ice chest coolers, these products are not intended for exposure to hot liquid so I don't see why the manufacturer would have any reason...

I have been wondering about the same thing. I don't understand why more people aren't concerned about this danger.

Stein's Deli on Magazine. Probably the best beer selection in the city and GREAT sandwiches. (no consumption on premises, though)

Cool idea down the road, but I think the first step is networking NOLA area homebrewers. There really aught to be meetups/events like there are in many other cities. I bet you could get more folks behind this once a community is established.

I had a similar concern, used a muslin bag and it works perfectly, I tied it with a sanitized rubber band. I dry hopped with 4 ounces and didn't have a problem, the siphon will be affected by plant material in the tube, not because of the bag. But 2 ounces, you should be good.

I dunno. This is provably not food grade. They could have used some funky coating on top of the silicone that you don't want to ingest. I wouldn't but whatever. Can't get homebrew equipment in the DR?

From now on it is going to be spelled BEWHR
