HAHAHA!! That's like the Jeff Foxworthy redneck joke..."You know you're a redneck when you have a grill on top of your broken grill"

That is kick-ass. I definitely think wifi is the way to go.

Dude this is sick!! Nice job!

My favorites are Saranac and Sam Adams. The Saranac labels come off super easy and the Sam Adams bottles are nice and thick. Flying Bison Brewing Co. labels are my least favorite... It's like they use some kind of space-age super adhesive to keep those labels on. I just chuck them if a buddy...

I bought a nitrogen setup for my keezer. I have everything except the nitro tank and beer gas. I've read through this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/rochester-ny-co2-tank-refill-274450/index2.html but havent found anything about beer gas? I just wondered if anyone had any...

Totally agree with this one. I've been big into photography for many years. I've learned after years of forum participation, submissions, trying to sell my photos--it's just not something I want to get into professionally anymore. Competition is cutthroat and the expectation bar is so high now...

Here is a pricelist for Southtown. Not bad.

Sounds like you might be in the UK? There are a ton of great kits from Northern Brewer, Midwest Brew Supplies, etc. Take a look at those sites and pick something you like. A lot of times they list the ingredients and recipe so you can just pick everything up from your LHBS and make it if...

I dont filter my tap water when I brew AG. Having the water report is key because I know right where my water is at out of the tap. If i want to get close to a different areas water I'll add from there using that calculator above.

Big ups to this one. I get bottles from my buddies a lot and I always rinse and inspect them before I clean/sanitize. Sometimes there is black gunky crap in the bottom that is so gross. Not to mention the occasional cigarette butt... Check out the stickies for a cleaning/sanitizing process.

Grab a local water report if you have city water, a quick Google search should give you what you need. If you have well water you can use testing tools to get the pH. I think generally if your well water tastes good it will be fine. I use this tool to compare it to water from famous brewing...

I worry about the same thing when i take pics with my iPhone. That would be an expensive brew...

Chip, you the man. Keep the train goin!

How are you aerating? Even if you pitch right if there is no oxygen you will have trouble hitting your FG. I had a batch finish high a few months ago because I was too lazy to aerate properly, even though I did a starter.

The highest priming amount i ever did was 5oz for a Saison. I unfortunately had an explosion but it was definitely because of the bottle. I re-used a Saison De Dottignies bottle which was pretty thin compared to the others. The rest were all in mostly Sam Adams or other thicker American bottles...

Try to find some "Sahti" recipes. It's a Finnish beer made without hops. The BrewingTV Sahti episode is one of my favorites and I always wanted to try it. http://vimeo.com/17090829

If chip can keep it doing I commend him for it. There are a ton of BrewingTV fans out there. Not having dawson or keeler is a bummer, but any free brewing videos of that quality I will continue to watch.

Is this the real Chip?

If it was 5 gallons i'd say sit on it a few weeks and see if it mellows out. But i'm sure with 2 gallons you want to just drink it.

Lucky guy!! My girlfriend gets so annoyed when I brew because it basically means a day of ignoring her... I wish she was into brewing!
