Thank you everyone for the input , she is on a regiment of medicines for the worms now . we are taking every precaution available and picking up the worm laden poop as soon as she goes ( fairly disgusting but double gloving and double bagging the poop ) I will still dispose of all of my...

So last weekend we adopted an English bulldog from a rescue. After taking her to the vet we found out she had a couple parasites including hookworm . The vet told us it's uncommon for humans to get it from animals, researching it it seams like you can contract it from the larvae which is exuded...

As always thank you guys for your input and all the great information… New development in this fiasco is that it seems as though you need a Hydro test done every five years. My tank has not had one since 1992. Needless to say they will not fill it until I get a Hydro test , Which cannot be done...

I am bringing four 5 gallon kegs to a party. I have a 20 lb co2 tank with about 700 psi still left in it . My question is : is this going to be enough co2 for the party or should I refill ?

Brew on Sunday . Leave grains in the mash tun until Monday night . Dump stinky grains in a contractor bag and put them in the back of the pickup to dispose of elsewhere. Forget about the bag for two days in the back of the truck ... Bag rips open when taking it out of the truck. Juice from bag...

I let them help as much as I can. My son loves to pour the grain into the mill and pull the trigger on the drill. We made a Hefeweizen for their birthday and he kept calling it minion beer because it was going to smell like bananas

I have four year old twins and though the brew day gets a little less hectic, there are still those rushing around moments where you have forgot to add something or forgot a measurement or missed strike temps too high or low . Lately I've embraced late night brewing and kids bedtime is directly...

Watch out its coming for you ! One question Do you live in a friggin cave ? If not I'd totally get out of that neighborhood

I made one out of a stainless steel water bottle , a water faucet aerator and two hose barbs . I drilled a hole in the bottom of the water bottle and silver soldered the hose barb not and filled and tapped the plastic cap and screwed the barb in there . The water faucet aerator fit snugly into...

For slowing the wort you can just close the ball valve restricting the input

There is variable speed power supplies that you can buy on eBay. The way I have mine wired up is just soldered directly to switches . The input side of the switch is just wrapped around screws mounted through the wooden box . That way I can switch out the power supplies for UPS batteries if I...

I wouldn't use aquarium pumps . They are not meant rated for mashing temps . The biggest issue is the plastic warping and secondly there is much debate over chemicals leaching out of the plastic. There is a very long thread on this issue and these pumps. I just recently purchased two of those...

There is an episode of that's odd lets drink it with Sam Calagione of dogfish and Mario Batali where they brew a take off on prison wine with bread and tomatoes and citrus fruit .. http://youtu.be/jtebEPLzsKk

Take it from me , bricks have a tendency to explode when thermal shocked in wort , and some slates like to explode in fire sending bullet like shrapnel out , no fun... but greywacke and granite make a good steinbier

Hey I was just on eBay and found this might be another option to lock the faucets without modifying anything

I just made a simple circuit to shoot pressurized mixed drinks out of my picnic tap using an on switch, an ice maker solonoid valve and a momentary on switch . I have not tried it with beer as of yet . I don't see why it won't work with beer it has 1/4 in input and outputs on it. I want to...

I use a fold out vegetable steamer as a false bottom in my 5 gallon igloo cooler like this one in the picture , it works well alone and better with a strainer bag

Usually have mine in a milk crate .... 2am brewing and drinking equals not wise decisions

I do this all the time , hot shower/cold beer , cures what ails you

Yes I still have toes , luckily I felt it slipping and jumped back , got pelted with the heavy glass shrapnel , then had to walk over it to get in the house
