I just tried my first DGA -- holy crap it's fantastisch! Wish I'd known this yesterday when we were at the brew store. Might be brewing this ASAP!!!!

Did you ever start a thread on this? I'm in NoVA and could use a few more kegs if the price is right.

You do anything special, aside from the standard care? I decided against Willamette, because I'd heard it won't grow well here, but you're just down the road....

Congrats - ditto the first two posters, lol. Good luck in your adventure!

That blows. If you can't find the culprit I hope whatever died is long gone and it's just taking a while for the smell to go away. On the bright side, you scored a free freezer and the smell will go away...eventually.

What kind of odor does it have (mold, chemicals, or something dead)? I'm by no means an expert, however, I would bleach bomb your freezer twice -- inside AND out -- if you haven't already, then leave it open until it's ready to go into service. You might also want to consider replacing the seal...

Phase 1 is pretty much complete - I really screwed up on the handle and reattaching the plastic lid liner, so jury-rigged a solution until we have time to add the collar/taps. So it's not as nice as it would have been at this stage, but hey, it works. The exterior is 100% better, and I have yet...

Sorry to hear about your mishap. Hope you were able to save most of the batch and avoid introducing nasties. If nothing else, drink it quick and invest in a new siphon/longer tube.

Worst non-infected batch? Brewcraft's Dry Irish Stout extract kit. It was designed a pound light on fermentables...my notes are something like: Black water, artificial chocolate, and weak, old coffee about sums it up.

This is why I hate and don't eat/shop in DC. Beer and everything else, both there and in the suburbs, is well overpriced. You can thank all the people with two-income households earning six figures...each.

Stone's Vertical Epic 11.11.11. I couldn't wait any longer - that's some mindaltering goodness.

I don't know how big a mega pot is, but I'll second the 5 gal paint strainer bags from (Lowes/Home Depot). You can get a 12# grist in, but the bag wears faster. If that's not large enough, try a home goods (or fabric store). The curtains idea is fabulous.

I think I've got it all covered now, but def thanks for asking. Maybe next time around?

Anything that results in the brewing of more beer is a good thing.

Welcome to the internets. (You might have just penned my new signature...)

Looks like this buy is already full - let me know if I miscounted...OR if someone wants to split a bag of MO, Vienna, or Munich with someone in VA.

No problem... This.

Back in the saddle!!! 4503.5 +10 = 4513.5

Do I smell trollbait? Seems like the OP meant to provoke some strong feeling without providing necessary details on how he dealt with the guests.
