Thanks for the advice podz and mattdc26... Any other items I should grab here that are hard to source for brewing? Be well

heh I live by the quoute...why limit oneself to a single vice...I think Gandhi said that...or Houdini always mix those two up...

Hey folks, picking up the fam and heading over. I am storing most of my brew gear as it is a 3 tier using keggles...cant imagine I will be in a place with that kind of space. Not to mention, I have sooo many new brews to try not sure brewing will be worth it. However, I have been really...

30 days ago I tried my batch and liked it...as did folks at the chili cook off as 5 gal was gone in a flurry. I had the other 5 gal sitting cold at around 37 - 40 for about 3 weeks...wow. This is a much better beer...I am drinking it around cellar temp and it has great balance... This...

Needed to get this on the gas so I cut crashing short. Cloudy but acceptable. Came in at .012 and is a really nice beer. Some spice on the nose...a touch of sweetness and on the lighter side. I really hate that this one goes to a block party so I will see very little of it....nice beer...

Be curious to see a pint when you pour it. Just checked in on mine...looks to be at .012 maybe .011 but super cloudy...going to let it ride for a while but just wondering how much impact your crashing had. The taste was light but actually very nice for such a light brew.

That was no mistake...;)

I think I have a Zymurgy in the stack with Kathy Ireland on the cover....old school. yup...had to look it up...its this one. http://www.beerinfo.com/index.php/pages/kathyireland.html

Decent results but crazy day. Did a 10gal batch so I could keep it around a day or two this time. ;) I baked the punkin for an hour at 350 but did not get the carmelization I was hoping for. Wife needed the oven or I would have hit it with a broil for a bit. I made a change to the recipe...
