Got a link to the article? Ron

There are a couple of good forums related to Mr. Beer that have some good recipes. One is the Mr. Beer website. Check out community.mrbeer.com. The other is www.mrbeerfans.com. Also most people start with the West Coast Pale Ale that comes in the kit with booster. That is probably my...

Understand I am not doing this yet, but I did ask The Pol about this in the no chill thread. I'm basing my answers on the discussion in that thread. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/exploring-no-chill-brewing-117111/index69.html#post1778954 Ron

That's basically what the stir plate is doing, constantly aerating your RWS. That's how it ferments out so quickly. Ron

I think the issue is that since you are using a stir plate you have a lot of oxygen in the beer and you do not want to put that into your wort. You can taste it and see, but my understanding is that it will not be good. The main reason for the RWS is to get the yeast started and conditioned on...

General rule of thumb with Mr. Beer should be a minimum of 2 weeks in the fermenter, 2 weeks at room temperature to carb and 2 weeks in the fridge to age. That's a minimum. The 2 weeks in the ferm should be good for most, but at least 2 weeks of carb and age with more being better. I've...

I'm not a member of either, but I know there are at least 2 pretty big brew clubs in Houston. The Foam Rangers and the Kuykendahl Gran Brewers or KGB. I'm in Sugar Land. Ron

Most of the guys on the Mr. Beer forum or mrbeerfans dot com use 1lb of DME to replace the package of booster or a can of HME or UME. You can find some pretty good recipes on both those forums that don't use anything more than DME and steeping grains, which is pretty much extract brewing on a...

Oh ****, that's what I get for responding to a thread while on a conference call. Please disregard! Ron

I think it is probably an economics issue. I imagine it is much cheaper to get contract brews from St. Arnold's in Houston than it is to employ a brewer at each BJ's and deal with beer production. St. Arnold's produces a pretty good beer and you still get the BJ's different list of beers, it...

Anybody have interior dimensions on this one?

I think I did. I watched Texas/Alabama beat up on each other with the 2 best defenses in the country. I watched TCU/Boise State do the same, but they are not as good as Alabama/Texas in my mind. I also watched Florida beat down then #4 Cincinnati. Who most people thought was better...

Colt started 53 straight games, doesn't sound like an injury issue to me. Get your facts straight and stop repeating idiots. He had one injury in his freshman year, then took a savage late hit that got him carted off the field. Classless idiots started calling him cart McCoy for that. As...

Pol, That helps a lot, thanks for explaining. Now I need to pull the trigger on a couple of Winpaks. Ron

I'm trying to figure out the procedure for making a Real Wort Starter. 1. With a 5 gallon batch size how much wort do you use to make a starter? 2. If I was going to use a dry yeast, like S-04 or S-05 is a RWS a good idea? Necessary? 3. Do you use a stir plate for the starter (I think in...

Anybody running sales on kegging equipment at this point? I haven't seen anything, but I haven't started looking in earnest yet. I'm thinking I need a 2 corny setup with regulator and tank to get started. Ron

Which recipe did you use? This sounds great. Ron

another vote for the starsan & vinator combination!
