A few slugs of pickle juice first thing in the morning and you'll be A-OK.

I've been cipher'n on this some more. 0.75gal of juice would be like 1.5oz per beer which doesn't really sound that unreasonable. Then maybe prime to 1.50 vols or so and make sure to hit the brakes on time.

I've looked around the forum and didn't really see what I was looking for. I've got about 5.25gal in the carboy right now and I saved about 0.75g for backsweetening. My plan is to pasteurize the bottles when I feel the taste is just about right and/or the bottles shouldn't take any more...

This is a pretty good idea.

For the past month or two I've been keeping 1 brew in the chamber for like 5-8 days untill its well past any major activity. Then I brew a different brew for the fermentation chamber and put the older brew in a room I know will be in the 70-75 range until its finished. Repeat and Rotate... On...

Somebody on ebay sells postage scales for really cheap. Thats what I have, the only problem is the scale moves in 5g increments. Not something I worry about. http://myworld.ebay.com/justpoundsandounces/

My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and all those associated with this tragedy...
