I, for real, just LOL'd for like two minutes... Fart of Darkness. Epic.

Al Sharpton?

That sounds offal...

Yes. If it's soft then you're more than likely going to have to buy new grain... ;) No. I started out all-grain and haven't looked back. Just read up on techniques, used this forum and it's inhabitants, and wasn't afraid to make mistakes. You learn from them.

PS - I'm no pro either, I just make Martin Brungard's cells turn green and go from there... :)

1 gram - Gypsum, Epsom Salt, Baking Soda (No Baking Soda in sparge.) 2 grams - Calcium Chloride This is assuming your strike and sparge waters are both around 3.5 gallons.

250.5 +5.5g Simcoe/Citra IPA 256

Phosphoric Acid (85%) will be a good friend to you. Available for a fairly low cost from Duda Diesel via Amazon...

Have to agree with several above... Edmund Fitzgerald and Founders Porters are those found most often in my fridge.

Either way works. If the starter is small and you don't mind adding it to your batch, go right ahead. With larger starters, you're better off cold crashing in the fridge, decanting most of the beer off, and then pitching the remaining slurry.

Big juicy IPA with Simcoe and Citra. Using my new mill (Thanks Honey...) to put a dent in a sack of 2 Row!

I've been watching a ton of Doctor Who lately. The newer, bigger budgeted series that started in 2005 are really fun to watch. It has the camp of the classic series, but much improved special effects and some excellent writing. (And some damn fine looking companions as well...)

*squelchy mic* "I'm having trouble with the radar, sir..." *takes mic away* "I'm having trouble with the radar, sir..." "We've lost the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps..." Love Spaceballs.

Bueller... Bueller...

I would just gut it and use the enclosure. If I remember correctly, the power button is on the top, right? It would be difficult to mount the fan with the existing electronics getting in the way. It does, however, have the four controller ports on the front. It would look pretty cool to have...

You don't have a problem at all. What it sounds like you have is a fantastic start to a successful fermentation. The heavy hitting is done. Now comes the hard part... Let those yeast do what they do and clean up after themselves. Just as GSBB↑ says, wait another 10 days or so before...

One ******* at work has apparently had "Twisted Nerve" in his head for over a month now... This is the song the Ellie whistles in Kill Bill Vol. 2. Needless to say, it subsequently becomes lodged in the rest of our brains as well. There have been threats...

Saw this today and thought it a remarkably well thought out speech on the position of Craft vs. Big Beer... A .pdf of the full speech can be downloaded from the page linked >HERE<

Just noticed that a deal will be up shortly 02:00 (PST) on Amazon for an Oetiker kit. Might be overkill, and I don't know what the deal price will be, but there you have it...
