dirty old men :D

Since I teach P.E. and health, I'd probably have trouble justifying it in my curriculum. ;)

White Labs - American Hefeweizen Yeast Paulaner Hefe Clone calls for Bavarian Hefeweizen Yeast, my LBS didn't have this so I had to go with American Hefe yeast

Fratguy, good luck keeping the brothers out of your brew. This line may work with the sorority girls, "Hey, wanna come up and see my blow off tube." :D

Man, hefe seems to carbonate quick. Batch has been in the bottle 4 days, and because I'm impatient I sampled one last night. Already has great carbonation and taste. I need to lock it way for two weeks so I don't drink it prematurely.

We'll, in my mind summer is over. I teach middle school in the western suburbs in Illinois. Football started today, and school starts next week. I know, I know, most of you have been working all summer and don't feel my pain. I love teaching and coaching so pain is the wrong word, I'm just...

A watched pot never boils and an untended one boils over...go figure.

Just today, I bought 3 kegs in good condition at a garage sale for $10. The guy kinda noticed me salivating over the kegs. He said, "Put some glass over them, they make great tables." I told him I plan to brew beer in them, and he gave me a blank stare as I carried them off to the family...

Wow, the chemical plant in the background looks a little scary too!

I've managed to break 2 hydrometers this summer...

Is your Texas bock a Shiner Bock clone?

"Beer...the cause and solution to all of life's problems" - Homer Simpson 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case...coincidence?

I adjusted the boil time on Promash program to account for 60 minute boil. As far as determining when conversion is finished, if the iodine added to the sample remains orange conversion is finished. However, if there is any hint of the test turning black there is still starch in the sample...

The Clone Brews books calls for 90 minute mash at 150 degrees on all of the recipes. I have followed the various recipes schedule. However, if conversion has taken place after 60 minutes (via iodine test) can I start the run offs and begin sparging, or should I keep the mash for full 90...

Ebay...$29 Adjustable plate type grinder, with big hand crank. Can attach drill to speed up process. I bought this type of mill a few months ago and have cracked the grains for 3 AG sessions now, worked great, results...tastes great!

hey bra, Aloha! Yes, it looks like it was krausen. I not sure what that was in the pint glass though. Should be fine...let us know how it tastes in a few weeks after bottle conditioning. Do you have a name for your new brew? How about Da Kine Brew? Hang loose! :cool:

right Sam, no regulator or hose...just the tank. Standard tank like what you would have on a gas grill. I use it on the turkey fryer...granted I've never boiled a turkey, just brew.

I am always worried that I will run out of propane during my brew session. So, I figured out some weights of my propane tank. I just set the tank on the bathroom scale to figure things out. I don't trust the strips on the side of the tank to tell me empty levels. empty tank: 17.5 lbs full...

I see no reason it wouldn't work. I am assuming you intend to have this be the brew kettle? You could rig a spigot on the bottom to drain the wort. The question is, as you mentioned, what will you use then as a 30-40 gallon mash tun and liquor tun? Also, because of the size of these you...
