PJ- Sorry I can't help answer all your questions. I've never made it the way you're looking to make it, so I can't guess at how it'll turn out. I wish I could give you answers. Try it out and see what you make. A 2.5 gallon boil might be kind of small to soak up all the sugars so you may end up...

I wonder hw much Pliney they'll be able to make at a time in their vessels. That inceased hop bill is really going to clog up their tuns.

Mine doesn't have these fancy do-hickies. All grains are bagged in 1, 3 or 5 pound bags.

I wish I could pin-point the aroma to something less negative than cigarette ash. I drank the entire beer, but there was a very very subtle ash-tray smell. Sorry, I don't mean to diss your beer, especially after how good the Oktoberfest tasted.

I couldn't find a single news release to support this claim. Can someone direct me to an official source of information?

Just curious as to who you'd like to see dead.

I think that's the crux of the matter. Maybe Vinnie called Jim and asked him not to do that to him.

Old Speckled Hen: Again, another very good beer but this one has an aroma of cigarette ashes. No hops (like the Okt) and a malty finish. Good, but the cigarette smell is a bit disturbing. Do you smoke, BM?

Don't make bets with any Brewer's fans on this board. As for not making the beer, I thought it was BS that they'd pick a clone to be the winner. Ohh...maybe next year the winner will be a boston lager clone.

One of my buddies picked up a Vizio and it's awesome. I have a Hitachi Ultravision 57" rear-projector HDTV. It's big and not slim at all (like me) but has a great picture. We got it a few years ago and it's held up like a champ. You'll be happy no matter what you get. As for Monster Cables...

It's great - one guy is trying to make carboys into kegs and another guy is making kegs into carboys and no one is super keen on either idea. Kudos for trying to "build a better mousetrap" folks. Keep the creativity alive.

I soaked my mani in a bleach solution, and white crud formed around the joints. Any idea what that's all about?

You're overthinking it. You can create your own water, but that seems like a lot of trouble. Chances are that the water sold in 1 or 5 gallon jugs is sanitary enough for brewing purposes.

Can you get bottled water delivered? I'd go with that over distilled water. You want those minerals in the water to aid in everything from conversion to flavor.

So far I've had the Oktoberfest, and man oh man was it ever tasty! It was almost like a liquid Heath Bar. Tons of caramel and toffee. One of the best beers I've ever received from a swap. EDIT: Please post the recipe

Yuri - we need to know: Did you get the ************* during your keggle creation?

Cheech tells this joke in Cheech and Chong's Next Movie.

I'm going to take this a step up. Try this technique: No stopper. Just a cane with the end sliced at an angle. Step 1: turn off your gas line to the keg you're planning on using. Now, release the CO2 from your tank. Pull the pin a few times and get all that gas out. Set your regulator for...

So you mean the only thing we have to fear is fear itself?

i brewed a hefe yesterday and put 3068 on it. Now, I've used this combo enough to know that you need a blow-off tube on it. So WTF was I thinking when I just put the old carboy cap on it? This morning I'm watching TV and I hear a pop and feel the floor have a slight repercussion. So I go...
