I've been looking at how these things work and I believe y'all are right. I can't use it for chilling wort, but I believe there is some use for all these components. I got it free and haven't actually tested it yet to see if it works, but it has a hot water spigot and heated hot water reservoir...

I recently got my hands on an office style water cooler...the kind that you put the bottles upside down on. I wonder if there's some way I could utilize it to chill my wort. Any thoughts?

So I brewed a 5 gal Porter which checked at 7% after primary. While that was happening, I had a bunch of oak chips soaking in 16 oz of 40% whiskey. After primary was complete, I racked the Porter onto the chips AND the whiskey. How much is my final ABV? Just trying to think it through, here's...

Simple Mountain Brewing's Very Merry Choc-O-Cherry 2014

Thanks, sboyajian. We currently live in Texas but recently bought some land in central Tennessee. Two or three years from moving, but we visit the Smokeys every chance we get. Love it out there.

Simple Mountain Brewing. My wife and I love the Smoky Mountains and long for the simple life. That's the story and the plan.

Basic Brewing Video and Radio but my favorite is BrewingTV. They don't make em any more but I've watched all of them and they're a lot of fun.

Greetings! I'm wondering if anyone has any favorite audio or video podcasts they would recommend. I've seen almost all the BrewingTV video podcasts as well as the Basic Brewing Video podcasts. Both were helpful but I really enjoyed the BrewingTV episodes. Anyway...thanks for sharing!!

This weekend I will be doing a 2 gal BIAB Maris Otter/Cascade SMASH. Anyonewith BIAB experience or knowledge, what's the best grind for my grains in order to achieve the best efficiency? Seems like a finer grind would be better.
