    Digital Scale Recommendation?

    At the time of my purchase, I paid just under $100 for all three of my scales from Northern Brewer, with this package here. NB Triple Scale Package That saves you about $10 vs buying them individually. The large scale is the same as Anvil's, but Anvil's is $7 higher. The smaller scales in the...

    I see Northern is now selling the Fermonster, but they're about $14 more than the other vendors....smh......

    Chest freezer died. Would like something front load

    That's the biggest negative of the All-Rounder. I hate how wide they are. If the Fermonsters could handle the pressure like the All Rounder, they would be the perfect fermenter since they are taller and thinner.

    Buying by the sack?

    I concur. I just checked: Rahr - North Star Pils Viking Malt - Pilsner Zero Malt Briess - 2row Dingeman's - Pal Ale Malt (out of stock) Thomas Fawcett - Golden Promise Weyermann - German Pils All the above show free shipping, after you select amount and milled/unmilled. I noticed it will show...

    failed mash. 12# grain and OG is only 1.034 WTF?

    Good questions. You know what's going to happen. Odie is going to come back in a few weeks saying this is one of the better beers he's brewed. These type of stories always end up that way. Off topic: About a decade ago, my cousin ordered this brew kit from Northern. I can't remember the name...

    How to Keep Picnic Faucets Clean in Garage Keezer?

    I use these small black caps on my faucets. I used to use the blue tap brushes pictured above. They are good for cleaning only and not as a cap imo as they will rust over time. The caps below, I spray star san in it, then cap the faucet. You can then repeatedly squeeze the cap a few times to...

    To scoop out hot break or leave it?

    Non scooper here. I used to try to filter everything out but now just pour it all in the fermenter. I'm a lazy brewer, so the less to clean the better at the end of my brew day.

    How are You Measuring Fermentation Temperature?

    I always thought this was common knowledge. Some are easier to read than others. The circle versions from Northern Brewer, as they look cool, are hard to read in low light. The vertical strip on my Flex+ is also hard to read.

    Buying by the sack?

    I did a search in my area and found one (guessing) within an hour or two away judging by their area code. I emailed them to see if they cater to home brewers and/or what they might offer.

    Got mine earlier today. 12 days for me. Last post from me about More Beer in this thread. Sorry for the off topic gang.

    What is the big deal with.....

    Personal preference for me. With the right glass, a clear beer can be a beautiful beer!

    Buying by the sack?

    If you need grains now, your best bet is just bite the bullet if you're intent on buying a sack of base grains. What I do is buy maybe 20-30lbs of a base grain(s) and/or other goodies to take advantage of a vendors' free shipping policy if it's offered. It's not like buying a 55lb sack of pilsen...

    NB - still working?

    Did you receive your order? I placed mine on the 5th. After I emailed them, they created a ticket on the 9th and I emailed them back earlier today for an update as I hadn't heard back from them other than they created a ticket. Looks like you're going on 16 days since you ordered so was...

    why does kegged commercial beer always taste better than bottled ?

    Took the words right out of my mouth. I've not had an Irish brewed Guinness and I'm willing to bet that is the sole reason why folks who claim a difference is what they are tasting.

    why does kegged commercial beer always taste better than bottled ?

    I have a few but can't remember where I got mine. Amazon has some, but I think I got mine form Dollar Tree, which were (obviously) much cheaper. If you have a Dollar Tree nearby, they are worth checking out to see what they have.

    why does kegged commercial beer always taste better than bottled ?

    Same thing I say when I go camping. The food just seems to taste better.

    why does kegged commercial beer always taste better than bottled ?

    Then there's the brewery and/or the brewing process. I've always wondered what a Guinness from the motherland would taste like compared to the one I can get at my local beer store. I recently saw a video where a guy compared a can from Dublin to a can from his local beer store. No contest for...

    Polycarbonate vs Acrylic - Oxygen Permeability Question

    I haven't used my Spike fermenters in a while, but when I first got them and was brewing more, I wound up replacing the clear 4" triclover cap with the stainless blank. The two biggest issues why were, the clear caps didn't seem to hold pressure as well as the stainless ones. The second, the...
