That's very close to my brewing history. I started in 1991 and brewed until 2007, albeit pretty infrequently in the latter years, then quit for 6 years mostly because of my kid's activities getting in the way of brew time until we legalized here in AL in 2013. My friend, neighbor, and fellow...

FWIW, there was no visible mold in the fermenter when the Amarillo dry hop pellets went in at the 7 day primary mark but there was when I kegged at 28 days. There probably was mold earlier but I never checked on the beer. These pellet hops had been vacuum sealed and kept in a freezer until just...

I had a pretty long streak of no dumpers but that ended with my last batch. The previous dumper was in May 2014 so a 5+ year hitting streak was lost. FWIW, the 5 gallon keg getting dumped was half of a 10 gallon separately fermented batch where I dry hopped one with Amarillo whole leaf and the...

I can do closed gravity transfers from my 60L Speidel fermenter to purged kegs and it didn't cost a lot to set it up. I added an internal SS pickup tube which has an external male quick disconnect to the Speidel and then to move beer to the keg I use some silicon hose with a female quick...

I'm not sure it would work correctly if it was immersed in a grain/wort mixture. I would not risk using mine in temps in the 150s or higher but it is an interesting question to consider.

They will however I had to cut one in half to serve as a shelf in my freezer even with an added collar. It wasn't hard to do with a hand saw and would be piece o cake with a power saw.

Your tracking information should show when it was shipped. Did Fedex get the package on Thursday?

I watched the BBS Morse episodes as well as Lewis and Endeavour before starting on the books. The books are good but not the easiest to read as Dexter writes with an unusual (to me) style. On top of that some of the plots are convoluted but overall I like them.

Any other Inspector Morse fans out there in HBT-land? Colin Dexter wrote 13 novels as well as some short stories about Morse and Lewis in the 90s and I only have two or three left to read.

At what stage in the process did you add the campden?

Dude, paragraphs. White space is the currency of understanding.

If you want to brew 5 gallon all-grain batches the $109 kit from NB isn't optimal however for doing extract or partial mash batches on a stove-top it should be fine and is a reasonable deal since you also get the ingredients for a 5 gallon batch. Personally I'd also spring for the gravity...

I have tried this method and, gasp, it does work.

This has got to in the running for most typical HBT post of the year as it includes multiple tangents from OP issue, some good information, some personal insults, a bit of trolling, and a meta comment about the thread (that would be me).

Not a fan of your tagline but that's your choice.
